GOOD NEWS FOR VETERANS = MONTHLY PENSION SLIP

 

     GOOD NEWS FOR  PENSIONERS- PENSION SLIP

We all know that  our veterans are not aware of their details of Monthly pension being credited.

The monthly pension slip is not being  provided by the paying branches even after request. 

Now , the Banking authorities have agreed to provide  the Pension slip  to pensioners  Registered Mobile numbers by SMS.

By this method, each pensioner will know their pension details  like basic pension, DA, amount deducted towards  commutation, Income Tax,  and any other details like Additional pension, disability pension etc.

This is very useful information to all our pensioners.  All our military veterans and families  may note the same and may take up with their Bank branch/ CPPC , if there is any discrepancies. 

All our ESM Associations and Organisations are requested to pass on the messages to our veterans and families in their areas

ASSURED DECENT LAST RITES SCHEME ( ADLRS) TO ALL MILITARY DECEASED VETERANS

 

We are once again posting this article( 20-8-2020 ) , because , our request is not considered so far.

A  GLANCE AT THE NOBLE SCHEME- ASSURED DECENT LAST RITES  SCHEME.

This ADLR scheme was introduced  on June 2006 by

our beloved Lt.General AS.JAMWAL for a  good and Noble cause..

By this scheme, the members of each CSD canteen will be honoured on their demise , by paying Last respect  by laying a WREATH  on the body of the departed veteran on behalf of our Military services.

Now the scheme is altered  due to unknown reasons .

At present,  the Canteen Run by Army authorities, honour  only the Army veterans and same way the Other canteen Run by Air Force  and Navy.

The expression of condolence  and paying last respect should be common for all the members of a particular canteen-  e.g  Army, Navy and Air Force veterans.

Our earnest  appeal to our THREE service HQs  is, to extend the ADLR scheme, that is, Laying of WREATH  and paying last respect should be given to all the deceased  members of the particular canteen.

( Paying of Demise Grant  will be done by the respective  HOs  Air Force and Navy at a latter date.  They may have a better  death benefit schemes)

The Canteen Run by Army , should pay last respect to  Navy and Air Force veterans

The Canteen Run by Air Force should  pay last respect to  ARMY and Navy veterans

And  The canteen Run by NAVY  should pay respect to Army  and Air Force veterans ,

Thus avoiding  discrimination among our Ex-Servicemen and having  goods harmony  between all our three forces  veterans.

We, the Exwel Trust, Tirunelvei-Dist, Tamil Nadu,  hopes  that our Service HQs will take  note of our humble appeal and oblige.

PLIGHT OF WIDOWS IN GETTING THEIR FIRST PENSION

 

PLIGHT OF WIDOWS  FOR GETTING THEIR FIRST PENSION                                                                                            

As per CDA cicular  213, instructions are given to Banks/ PDAs.

Where ever, Joint Notification and Join A/c is there, there is no need for Form-14.

The Bank/ PDA can  switch over to  Family pension on receipt of intimation/ application  along with Death certificate of pensioner.

But , what is happening is heartening-  Calling for personnel appearance of Widows,  and fresh Documents like Non-Marriage/ Non-employment/ Life certificate / Descriptive Roll and Declaration  with 2 witnesses, attestation by Gazetted Officers and so on.   Thus , delay in switching over.

To get all the documents prepared may take a long time, months. The widows have to take  somebody’s help in this regard, mostly they are not that educated.

 Then the branch will forward it  to their CPPC, and there, they may take their own time, some time raising observations  . Like wise  , the process takes a long time.

In some cases, according to Hindu  customs, the widows are not allowed to come out from home before 41 days  of death of husbands. Here, again  delay.

Due to all these happenings,  it takes about 3 to 6 months  to get the first pension.

 In case of no Joint Notification/ Joint account, it will take months together, some time more than a year or so  to  start first pension.

Till such time, the poor widows have to face the financial hardship  and untold mental agony.

In view of the above  practical happenings, we request the  Banks/ PDAs Authorities  to follow the latest CDA circular 213  and make efforts to switch over to Family pension as early as possible  with humanity . 

We also request our ESM associations/ Organisations  to take up  this Harassment with  respective authorities  where ever possible.
