  ATTENTION VETERAN BROTHERS –SERIES -18

RANK LAST HELD  AND RANK FOR WHICH PENSIONED.

This is a very long pending issue .

As per  VIth CPC, CDA cir 397 dated 11-11-2008,  Annexure- III, note below,

It says – Rank means –Rank last held  and not the Rank for which pensioned.

But  in the subsequent circulars  like  Cirs 430, 501, 551 , 555 and 568, the instructions are confusing and contradicting .

Hence, the Bankers are not  able to revise the pension for the Rank Last held.

The affected veterans were compelled to approach our AFT for justice.

All those who filed case in AFT got their revised PPO and got the pension revised .

Others are still waiting  for revision.

 The Post-2006 retirees are eligible for pension for the Rank last held even for one  day, leave alone 10 months.  But pre-2006 retirees are denied .

Our Welfare Trust took up the matter to DESW, CGDA and PCDA(P) but not yielded any result.

But our Dte.of Air Veterans has replied to some Air Veterans that they are eligible  for pension for the Rank Last held but the Bankers do not accept the order/ instructions from Record Offices, they need Revised PPO from PCDA(P) for effecting any revision.

It is regretted  that even after 13 yrs after  6^th CPC, this discrepancy is not yet settled.

Now , it is the time that  PCDA(P)/ CGDA  issue a general circular  that both Pre and post 2006 retirees are eligible for pension for the Rank last held even if it is less than 10 months.

For Disablity broad banding, the latest Cir  596 was issued for all with effect from

 01-01-2016 without referring to CDA, Bank themselves can revise. 

Like wise a cut of date may be fixed for this  Rank Held case and Banks may be advised to effect the revision for all Pre- 2006 Retirees.

All our ESM Assns and Organisations are requested to  please take up this discrepancy with PCDA(P)/ CGDA and MOD.
