A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT FOR OUR EXWEL TRUST

                              SMT.VELAMMAL   W/O LATE   VETERAN  GNR  MARK

 

 One veteran GNR  MARK was drawing  pension  and died on 22-07-2001.

Name: MARK   Rank:  GNR    Service No: 1199769   Gp- Y  QS: 18.6 yrs

  Name of Spouse:  VELAMMAL

There was Part II order publication for marriage, but no Joint Notification as he was a pre-1986 retiree .

Due to some dispute , son of veteran , migrated to some other place and  carried the documents of veteran.  The widow was  having  only the ESM ID card.

She approached the PDA for family pension,  but the PDA informed her, as there is no Joint Notification,  we can not  switch over to family pension. The widow thought  that she is not eligible for pension.

After many years, on hearing the services of our welfare Trust,  she visited our Trust and  narrated the Happenings.   We represented the case to  Arty Record office with the copy of  death certificate and ESM ID card  for help.

Arty Record was kind enough to reply  and guided us with the Family pension claim form Sets.

We prepared the Claim Form, duly filled ,signed  and attested  and forwarded.  They raised some observations, which was rectified  . But they insisted for LTA certificate  from Bank.   The Bank officials denied  stating that , as the case is of very old one, there is record available , and advised her to approach Treasury .

Treasury Office informed that, the pension papers already migrated to Bank, hence no record available.

We prepared the  CERTIFICATE IN LIUE OF LTA   as per CDA circular  389 and 476.  But the RO insisted for LTA  certificate  from Bank only.  We reported this to Dte.of Indian  Army Veterans, New Delhi , questioning the  purpose of  the Circular.   DIAV  advised the RO for consideration..

In the mean time , we demanded   LTA certificate from Bank through  RTI.  CPPC of Bank , IOB replied as,

“  As the case is very old,  we express our inability to issue the  LTA certificate. “

We forwarded this  reply to Record Office  for consideration.  On receipt of this  reply, RO had  forwarded the documents to PCDA for sanctioning  Family pension.

Due to this long , untiring  efforts and  correspondence  for more than 2 years, now the Widow is sanctioned with Ordinary  family pension  with effect from  23-07-2001 .  PDA: SBI

The arrears from 23-07-2001  to 31-03-2022   also  paid..

The widow  was so happy  and visited our Trust Office and expressed her sincere gratitude for all the guidance and help in getting her pension.

Our Trust is also happy  in achieving  a fruitful result of our untiring efforts.
