ATTENTION VETERAN BROTHERS –SERIES 7
KNOW ABOUT EX-GRATIA
PAYMENTS TO PRE-1968 RESERVISTS.
The Pre-1-4-1968
reservists had the option of either to :
1) Opt for pension at the rate of Rs.10/- per
month
OR
2) Opt for a Lump Sum gratuity of Rs. 750/- in
lieu of pension.
Most of the
reservists opted for Lump Sum , because
they felt that Rs.10/- per month was too less compared to the Lump Sum gratuity
of Rs.750/- at that time.
Latyer on, the lump sum
optees made representation to Government
for grant of pensionary benefits. The
Govt. was kind enough to sanction monthly Ex-Gratia payment for Reservists and
their families.
The condition for
Ex-gratia payment was , that they should have:
1) Opted for lump Sum gratuity of pension.
2) Has not availed the benefits of
rehabilitation assistance granted by Govt
3) Are not in receipt of any other pension.
4) They should refund the
Gratuity amount with interest for getting Ex-gratia pension.
The families were
sanctioned this pension first with effect from 01-01-1992 and latter on the
reservists were sanctioned from
01-11-1997. Dearness allowance and
