COLONEL RANKS FOR WOMEN OFFICERS IN THE INDIAN ARMY

 

WOMEN COLONELS IN INDIAN ARMY

For the first time, the Indian Army has allowed Colonel-level rank for women officers in “support arms” of the force.

This is the first time that women officers serving with the Corps of Signals, Corps of Electronic and Mechanical Engineers (EME) and the Corps of Engineers have been approved to the rank of Colonel

A selection board of the Indian Army cleared the way for the promotion of five women officers to Colonel (Time Scale) rank, post completion of 26 years of service.

The five women officers selected for Colonel (Time Scale) rank are Lt Col Sangeeta Sardana from the Corps of Signals, Lt Col Sonia Anand and Lt Col Navneet Duggal from the Corps of EME and Lt Col Reenu Khanna and Lt Col Ritcha Sagar from the Corps of Engineers.

Previously, promotion to the rank of Colonel was only applicable for women officers in the Army Medical Corps, Judge Advocate General and the Army Education Corps.

The widening of promotion avenues to more branches of the Indian Army is a sign of increasing career opportunities for women officers combined with the decision to grant permanent commission to women officers from a majority of branches of the Indian Army.

ONAM FESTIVAL GREETINGS

Dear  Veterans and  readers ,

WE, THE EXWEL TRUST MEMBERS OF TIRUNELVELI -DISTRICT , TAMIL NADU,

"  WISH YOU ALL A  VERY HAPPY  ONAM FESTIVAL  2021  " 

ATTENTION VETERAN BROTHERS SERIES -42

 MISMATCHING OF NAME AND DOB OF SPOUSE -

IN PPO,   AADHAR / PAN CARDS  AND  BANK PASS BOOK

Of late ,we understand that, there are many cases of Mismatching of Name and

Date of birth of spouse of our military veterans.

Due to this, the banks are not releasing the Family pension on demise of veteran.

We have published this subject in our Blog  time and again.

i.e    : Name and Date of birth of spouse must be same in the PPO and Aadhar / PAN cards and the Bank Joint account.

Even a single letter is misspelled , say PARVATHY-   PARVATHI- it is rejected. Like wise date of birth also.

We also notice that, some Banks have allowed  Joint a/c  with the spouse Name incorrectly-   As per Government  order,

CPAO/ Tech / Amendments/ Sch-Book/ 2005-06/ 69  dated  09-06-2005,

 the spouse name as mentioned in the PPO  only to be added to Joint A/c  but it is not followed by Banks.

CASE 1

e.g.:  Name of spouse in the PPO and  Aadhar …  Annamalai  

But in the Joint A/c  it is  …P.Annamalai Ammal,  hence  Mismatching.

Here, the Bank should have added  the name as mentioned in the PPO only and not as per the pensioners request or otherwise.

Now, the pensioner died on say 31-7-2020,  and widow approached the Bank for switching over  to Family pension.

Bank  officials say, that  the name of spouse  in the PPO and the Joint A/c  does not match, hence   pension could not be released.  It is about ONE year passed.

The widow approached us for a help.

We noticed the discrepancy – Name in the  PPO  and Aadhar/ PAN cards  Matches but  only in the Bank  Joint A/c  there is difference. Bank has not followed the Government  order properly, hence the problem.  How did the Bank added the name as P.Annamalai ammal  when the Name in the PPO is only Annamalai.

Immediately, we contacted the bank, explained the error at the Bank  and  requested them  to correct the DATA at Bank,s Record and  release the family pension with out further Delay.  Bank  agreed with our submission and released the family pension  with one year Arrears.

 CASE: 2              

Name in the PPO:  U.Chandra M devar.     Aadhar Card:  Chandra S

Bank has Joint account as   Chandra Sudalaimuthu.  Pensioner Died .

Bank says, the name of spouse  does not tally, hence  cannot release  family pension.    Here also, How the bank allowed joint a/c as  Chandra Sudalaimuthu. when the name in PPO is different.  Bank has not followed Govt. order.

ULTIMATELY , THE SUFFERER IS THE POOR WIDOW has to  undergo the Hardship..

Likewise there are so many  of such cases .

All our veterans are once again requested to verify immediately that the name in PPO, Aadhar/PAN card and Joint A/c   is the same  including Date of birth. If not matching, take immediate steps to rectify  MISTAKE   to avoid the hardships to families latter.

 

75TH INDEPENDENCE DAY GREETINGS

 

WE, THE EXWEL TRUST, TIRUNELVELI-DISTRICT, TAMIL NADU ,

" WISH YOU ALL , CITIZENS OF INDIA, A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS

                                  75 TH INDEPENDENCE DAY,"

LET US SALUTE  THE SOLDIERS WHO HAD LAID THEIR LIVES  FOR THE 

FREEDOM OF OUR  NATION..  

VALUABLE AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PENSIONERS

 

                  VERY VALUABLE AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION

 

Many of the pensioners hesitate  in filing  IT returns,  but there is an important information  that shows that  filing  IT returns  has a great advantage to the families  of Pensioners at the time of any accidental death of the pensioner. 

 

As per section 166 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 ( Supreme court  Judgment under civil appeal No.9858 of 1953 ),

In case, a pensioner died in an accident, his family  is entitled  to 10 times of average income of the last three years , provided he had filed the IT returns  for the last three years.

For Example:

If the monthly pension of a pensioner  is 25000/- , then his annual income will be 25000 X 12= 3,00000/-. Average income of the last three years say  300000/-, then his family will get  10 times of 3 Lacs-   300000 X 10 = 30,00,000/- 30 Lacs  from Government .No other proof , other than IT returns will be required by the court.  So, filing of IT returns  regularly , even NIL returns by the pensioner  will go  a long way in providing a BIG  economic relief to the bereaved family of the pensioner  on his/ her death by accident.

Failure to file  IT returns  due to ignorance about this information will lead to a great loss to the family  of the pensioner .

All our ESM  associations are requested to pass on this message to our veterans in their areas.
