FITMENT OF PENSION ON MAXIMUM SCALE OF PAY

FITMENT OF PENSION ON MAX. SCALE  - CIR 568

The fitments of pension at different periods;

Example for a Rank of SGT. Group- X  QS: 15 yrs.

Scale of pay:   4670-85-5945.

1 As per consolidated method=  cir 397 Annexure-III  is 4277 w.e.f 1-1-2006. Then as per CDA cir 547,  the Minimum of 50%  on the Min pay +GP + MSP+ X gp pay.  

4670X 1.86 = 8690+2800+2000+1400= 1489 Full pension:   i.e 50%      …. 14890/2=7445.

For 15 yrs  + weight age 6 yrs…..7445 x 21/33= 4738 But as per Cir 547, for the Rank of CPL is 4883, hence for Sgt , it is stepped up to 4883  w.e.f 1-1-2006

3        Now, the fitment is done on Maximum scale  as per CIR 430;

05945 x 1.86=11060+2800+200+1400=17260Full pension- 50%..............................=17260/2\ 8630For 15 + 6 yrs…………………….= 8630x21/33=5492,,,w.e.f 1-7-2009.

Here also, for the Rank of CPL it is  5519, hence for Sgt it is stepped up to 5519 w,e,f 1-7-2009    CDA cir 482.

Again, the Scale of Pay is revised as   5000-100-6500  w.e.f 10-10-1997.

Also the weight age is increased by 2 yrs. Now the fitment- Max scale-  6500x 1.86= 12090+2800+2000+1400=18290Full pension…………….= 18290/2=9145 w.e.f   24-9-2012.

For 15 + 8 yrs………….\ 9145x23/33= 6374    CDA cir 501.

Then  OROP  Cir 555…..=8585 w.e.f  1-7-2014

As per  7^th CPC   Cir 570..= 8585x 2.57= 22064 w.e.f 1-1-2016.

Here, please find that the fitment  for pension was calculated at Maximum of scale from 1-7-2009 ,

Though the Cir 397 says  that the Minimum pension shall not be less than 50% of Minimum fitment,  the calculation was carried our at Maximum fitment of scale from 1-7-2009.

Hence it is felt that the arrears for CDA cir 568 shall be calculated at the Maximum scale  i.e  pension at 9145 instead of 7445 – the minimum fitment.

If this is – maximum scale-  a Sgt of Gp- X  QS 15 yrs will get an Extra arrears of Rs…………………

This calculation is applicable for all Ranks of Commissioned Officers and JCOs and Ors.

If it is considered, a Sgt. Of  Gp- I , QS 15 yrs will get one more arrears ie. 9145 – 7445  from 1-1-2006 to 1-7-2014  and 9145-8585

from 1-7-2014  to 31-12-2015  and   9145x2.257 from 1-1-2016.

We feel, all the ESM associations may represent the issue to concerned  authorities.  .
