MUCH AWAITED ORDER FOR DISABILITY PENSION RELEASED.




The Govt.Order for Revision of Disability pension is released
 vide

GOI. MOD Letter No: 17(1)/ 2017(1)/D(Pension/ Policy)   dated 4-9-2017.

Salient features-
For Pre-2016 pensioners:
(a)  Disability and War Injury awards have been restored to the formula as applicable to civilians. The rate shall now be revised to Old Award as admissible on 31-12-2015 (under enhanced OROP rates based on the percentage formula applicable at that time) X 2.57 with effect from 01-01-2016.
(b)  Orders for notional percentage based calculations with fresh 7th Central Pay Commission scales as the backdrop, not yet issued.
For Post-2016 pensioners:
(a)  Broadbanding/rounding-off made applicable to all cases of disability/war injury pension with effect from 01-01-2016 but only to post-2016 retirees (hence as of now, status quo continues with respect to the legal position for Pre-2016 retirees).
(b)  The percentage based rules for calculation of disability/war injury/other casualty awards shall remain the same (percentage based) as were applicable prior to 2016.
(c)  Additional old age pension on attaining the age of 80 or above restored for disability and war injury pensioners (however, the same has not yet been restored for Pre-2016 retirees). Readers may recall, this confusion and anomaly

  1. With this order there is nothing much to cheer for the hitherto oppressed JCO/OR community. Its not a common good but an isolated one.
    PBORs are thrown with at with bones
    as for dogs in respect of MSP by the
    Mil. Commanders at appexleveland by the headless judge Mathur. Ser HQs demanded graded MSP, and that so called judge simply conceded to offrs demand. Nobody ever thought of financialy elevating the hitherto oppressed PBORS just for damn contempt.
