The below mentioned  98yrs old veteran  visited  our Trust Office.

He wanted to confirm  whether he is receiving correct Rate of pension  and arrears.

We were very happy that  in this age, he is interested to know  the details of his pension  when the youngsters are not that interested  to know their entitlements..

We verified  his  entitlements and confirmed that he is being paid correct Rate of Pension  including Additional Pension of 50 %

There was a little difference  in Arrears of Cir 568.  For that we have now  written to his CPPC.

The Octogenarian  was very much  happy with our  actions and thanked us for such a service to ESM  community.

Name:  CHELLAURAI   Rank: Corporal  (  263868 )

PPO.No; AF/SC/4135/1982.

Veteran was convinced with our briefings.

We prepared the applicable Forms for Endorsement  of family pension and  guided him to forward the same to Dte. Of Air Veteran through his PDA.

The veteran was very much satisfied  with our action  and sincerely thanked us for this timely help.

KIND ATTENTION TO ECHS MEMBERS

KIND ATTENTION TO ECHS MEMBERS--VETERANS AND FAMILIES.

We all know  that we have joined as ECHS members after submitting

A certificate of stoppage of Fixed Medical Allowance ( FMA) from banks. This is one of the documents for joining ECHS.

Many banks  have stopped paying the FMA on the basis  of the request from veterans and families.   But still some banks are paying the FMA  with the pension .

Our veterans and Families  are not aware whether they are being paid FMA  with  the pension as net pension is credited  and they are not that educated to know their  eligible rate  of pension.

When the veterans visited our trust  we had found our that some  ECHS members are being paid with FMA. We have guided them to write their PDA to stop paying FMA immediately  and FMA was stopped in some cases.   But some banks have not acted on the application of veterans  to stop FMA.  In spite of repeated  letters  the FMA is being paid .

This has come to the knowledge of ECHS authorities and they have now issued an instructions / Circular  that the ECHS card will be cancelled  to such members who are still drawing FMA.

Veterans and Families are advised to verify whether the FMA is being paid  to them  through  Pension Slip or our Associations .  If they are paid, please  write to their CPPC immediately  to stop paying FMA  with a copy to the Branch.

Though it is the duty of Banks, it is our interest also to confirm the stoppage .  Other wise the authorities will stop our treatment by canceling the ECHS Card.

 Our veteran brothers and  ESM organizations are requested to pass on this important messages to our ESM community and help them to avoid non-treatment and mental agony latter.

DIFFICULTIES FACED BY BANKS IN REVISION OF PENSION FOR NAVY VETERANS.

NOTING OF RANKS  INSTEAD OF TRADES IN THE PPOs  OF NAVY 

The Trades of Army and Air force  are  placed in 3 Groups-  X,Y and Z.

The ranks are from Sep to  Sub.Maj  in each group in Army.

Like wise in Air force also.

The Ranks and Groups( not trades) are clearly mentioned in each PPO.

 e.g.  Raman,   Rank: Hav    Group Y    QS; 20yrs.

But in Navy,  it is different.  All our Circulars  Tabled  as

Seaman II to MCPO,    Aviation,  Technical and Non Technical

 But in the PPOs, instead of Ranks  as Seaman  etc , it is denoted by  their Trades.

For Example:

C.VENUGOPAL     Rank: EMA-(1),    Group: Aviation  Qs:  8yrs..

Now , how can a Banker  decide the Rank  , whether  he is a Seaman , Leading Seaman, Petty Officer, CPO or MCPO.

All Tables in our Circulars indicate only  Rank &Group and not the Trades.

Due to this confusion, many veterans of Navy  did not get their Arrears as per Cir 555, 568 , and 570.

Bank people could not revise the pension for want of the Rank.

Only the Trades mentioned in PPO,  which is not understandable.

Even our veterans  including Navy could not  immediately classify the Rank.

Hence, it is requested that  our NAVY  Authorities may place the Trades in the Respective Groups    and note the RANK in all PPOs

Like -  C.Venugopal,  Seaman -I,  Group- X   QS; 8 yrs. .

This is easily  understandable  for any  revision  and all other purposes.

There is no difficulties faced in regards to Army and Air force.

We hope that our submission will be taken in the right spirit  to avoid delay in  Revision /calculation of arrears  and payment in time to veterans..

Many Navy veterans  have not received their Arrears due this discrepancy.

Navy veterans are requested to help Banks in this regard .

OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ASSIST THE DIFFERENTLY ABLED

The  ex-servicemen like all men in society are also prone to misfortune.  In an unfortunate event of his child born deformed or later disabled due to accident/natural causes/disease, his capacity to deal with the misery is comparatively lower than the others in the society in such a scenario.

Managing the mentally retarded children is a Almighty’s challenge.  In the circumstances it is the responsibility of any organization to Assist the ex-servicemen in looking after his disabled child and provide them some help to resettle in life.

The Exwel Trust is always concerned about the welfare of differently abled children of not only ex-servicemen but also poor general public.  With this aim in mind, we had decided to search, and select as many differently abled children as possible and provide reasonable assistance to them during our 12^th Anniversary.

Accordingly, we have selected around 20 differently abled children for financial assistance.  We have published the list above.  When we informed this noble cause to our own veterans, many of our veterans generously contributed to this cause immediately.  The Exwel Trust acknowledge the receipt of this donation with great love and appreciation.  We will han over the needy children on behalf of you.
