ATTENTION VETERAN BROTHERS - SERIES 48

 


Dear Veteran Brothers,


Still many veterans are inquiring about the Rate of family pension  and how to find out.

It is simple;  As per regulation, 30% of emolument (Pay) is the Rate of Family pension.

Many of us are not aware of Last pay drawn./ Emolument.   But , we all know  about the Basic pension of  ourselves.

Hence ,  it is simple formula to calculate  Family pension .   that is, 60% of our basic pension is the Rate of Family pension.   For your convenient,   we are giving one chart for ready reference..



You can  cross check  from the Table  25 of CDA Cir  555  and  table 27 of Cir 666 for Normal  family pension.

ONE MORE ACHIEVEMENT FOR OUR TRUST

 

                                   VETERAN  NK. KARUPPALAGU   AT OUR TRUST OFFICE.


On hearing the services of our Trust, the below mentioned veteran visited  our

Trust for confirming  his pension  details.

Name: KARUPALAGU     Rank: Nk    ( 1246053 )   Arty Records.

Ppo.No: D/RA/9114/2003     PDA:IOB 

He was discharged on 1987  with disability  pension.  Then he was                                

Called for  Re-medical Board and  was sanctioned Disability for life.

He was having  the covering letter only intimating his disability pension

For life.  NO  PPO copy..  On verifying the pension details, we noticed

That he was being paid only service element.  We contacted  the Bank,

They informed that there is no PPO available for  DE.  Then we wrote  to

Record Office  for confirmation, they confirmed .  then we wrote to PCDA

Allahabad  for a Duplicate Copy of  PPO with Loss  certificate from veteran.

After having correspondence  for about ONE year,

We received a copy of PPO with intimation to CPPC, IOB.

Then we represented to CPPC, IOB with arrears calculation .

The CPPC was kind enough and  revised his Disability element  and paid

an arrears from 2003 amounting to  about 7.9 Lacs.

The veteran was so happy and visited our Trust and sincerely thanked

 our Trust for all the help extended in getting his Disability pension,

  arrears  plus about Rs.6000 /- per month for life.

Our Trust  is very much satisfied in helping one more veteran .S

EXPECTED EFFECTS ON NEW CASUALITY AWARDS FOR DEFENCE PERSONNEL.

 



Dear Veteran brothers,

If the latest MOD letter No: F.16(3)/2023/D( Pen/Pol) Vol-II dated 21-9-2023 is implemented ,

In our understanding the following  disadvantages will be there:

1. Name of Disability pension is changed as Impairment Relief-  the Disability Relief  is not a pension.

     It is only a relief for disablement. It looses the status of pension.

2. Any Relief is not eligible for  Dearness Relief , hence our Disability element  is not eligible for DA.

3. Only  Disability pension  ( service element + Disability element)   is exempted from Income Tax,

    Now, the  Disability element is not a pension, hence it is not exempted from IT.  All Disabled 

    Veterans are to pay income Tax.   

4.   At present  the Disability Element is added with Service element and DA calculated,  Hereafter,

      The DE is not eligible for DA as it is a Relief, hence a LOSS.

5. Commutation  on Disability is only on the initial sanction i.e  20%/ 30%  and so on.

     The broad banding effect is not applicable .  that is to say , no further enhancement on commutation.

6.  Likewise,    War Injury pension  is called  WAR  Impairment  RELIEF,  It is not a pension.

           Liberalised Disability pension is called as Liberalised Impairmentss Relief.   Ir is not a pension.

            ONLY PENSION IS ELIGIBLE FOR DA,    HENCE THESE RELIEF ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR DA.

Note:    We understand that  this order is applicable for  Serving Soldiers and  Future retirees.

               Also this order  supersedes all the previous circulars on casuality awards.

               There is no effect of FAMILY PENSION.

  Example :   Existing   calculation   :  For a  sepoy   Group Y   QS 17 yrs:  DE: 50%

                        Service element……………..18807.00

                       Disability Element…50%..... 5642.00

                                          Total ………… 24449.00SS

                        DA at 42%..........................10269.00

                         Net monthly pension……34718.00   as on date  as per OROP-II

 

        After this order – future retirees   will receive:

                      Service   element……………..18807.00

                            DA at 42%....................  7899.00

                                       Total…………. 26706.00

                 DE-Impairment Relief 50%...5642.00.

              NET MONTHLY PENSION……   32348.00…AS PER NEW ORDER.

 

     Now note the difference    :  34718 – 32348=  2370  -  loss per month .

     In addition to this loss , one has to pay Income Tax if  assessed.

Now, the futrue  pensioner with same Rank. Group, length of service,  will get lesser pension tan the present pensioner.      One more anomaly

Dear veteran brothers,  there are objections and protest is going on against this Rule.

 All are requested to raise our voice about this anomaly in where possible forum.
