On our intensive drive to find out and ensure that our pensioners are getting their correct rate of pension, we came to know that a Widow pensioner from a interior village was getting less pension than her entitlement.

PPO.No: F/1796/1962. PDA: Canara Bank, Srivaikuntam, Tuticorin-Dist. Tamil Nadu.

Our Chief Liaison Officer Sgt.S.Kanthiah paid a visit to that village called East-Tirupuliangudi and identified the pensioner Smt.Mariammal. She is 86 years old, bed ridden, looked after by her Grand son Abraham in that village.

She was taken aback by our visit and was pleased to converse with our Liaison officer. On verifying the available records, it was confirmed that she was sanctioned with Special Family pension, but she was not aware, and nobody to tell her or the Bank. Our Liaison officer explained in detail and assured her that her case will be taken up with concerned Record office and CDA .

The bed ridden widow was so happy in recollecting her past life and shed tears of joy and thanked all the Trust members for their sincere , valuable service to the Exservicemen community.

Dear veteran brothers, please identify such poor widows and try to help them in their fag end of life to get their entitled pension. We are repeatedly appealing our veterans in this regards.

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.

We wish  "A very happy Christmas to all our Ex-Servicemen and their families."

The Branch Manager readily accepted our findings and assured us to revise the pension and pay the arrears in the coming month.

The poor Widow, acknowledging her innocence , thanked us for this voluntary help and expressed her view that but for the intervention of the Welfare Trust, she would have not got this benefit, an arrears about 3 lacs plus in the near future. .

MESSAGE FROM IESM CHAIRMAN

Message from IESM CHAIRMAN

Dear Colleagues,

         The Rajya Sabha Petitions Committee has presented its report to the Parliament today. They have thus met their deadline of presenting it during the Winter Session. 

        The Committee’s report defines OROP exactly as the IESM has been doing:

          “…OROP implies that uniform pension be paid to the Armed Forces Personnel retiring in the same rank with the same length of service irrespective of their date of retirement and any future enhancement in the rates of pension to be automatically passed on to the past pensioners…”

          The 14-page report makes a strong case in favour of grant of OROP. Depositing of medals has been specially cited as one of the reasons in support of their recommendation. The report has included all the points we had made during our PP Presentation to the Committee on 16 May 2012. I telephonically thanked the Committee Chairman Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari on behalf of the IESM.

          It is fervently hoped that the government will show grace and good sense to accept the recommendations.    

PS

 I tried attaching the report but the size is too large. I am therefore re-sending the sitrep without the report        

Best regards,

Lt Gen Raj Kadyan

Chairman IESM
Petition praying for grant of OROP by RS Committee

On coming to know that there are many Widow pensioners drawing short / in correct pension,Our Chief Liaison Officer Sgt.S.Kanthiah made a visit to a Remote Village , Kalingapatti, Tirunelveli-District, Tamil Nadu..

On hearing the news of our visit, Six Family pensioners and Two pensioners Came to Canara Bank, Kalingapatti. They were interacted by our Liaison officer, and the doubts/ discrepancies were sorted out on the spot. Two of the family pensioners had completed 80 yrs of age, but were not paid the additional pension.

The discrepancies were explained to the Branch Manager, Mr.Pavanasam and he was so kind enough to accept our findings and submission and agreed to set right the discrepancies in this month itself.

The pensioners were very happy and satisfied with our visit/efforts and thanked us for such a help at their place. They also requested us to hold one more meeting with prior notice of visit so that all the pensioners in their area can attend and get their doubts/ discrepancies cleared,

Our Liaison Officer thanked them all, particularly the Branch Manager , who happily agreed to hold a mini meeting in the premises and also gave a hint to hold a larger meeting in the near future. It gives us a great boost to help the Ex-Servicemen community.
