ISSUE OF STATEMENT OF ARREARS TO PENSIONERS

REVISION OF PENSION OF PRE-2006 ARMED FORCES

PENSIONERS/FAMILY PENSIONERS

ISSUE OF ANNEXURE IV (A DETAILED REPORT OF ARREARS PAYMENT)

TO THE PENSIONERS.

The Government Order (MOD letter No.17(4)/2008(1)/D/Pen/Policy) dt.11/11/2008, while explaining the methodology for implementation and reporting under Para 16 clearly states under sub-para 16.4 that “ A COPY OF THE SAID ANNEXURE IV MAY INVARIABLY BE PROVIDED BY THE PDAs TO THE PENSIONERS CONCERNED FOR THEIR INFORMATION”. ( Annexure IV is a detailed report of arrears payment).

But it has been observed with great concern that the Banks neither issue to the pensioners nor send a copy to the CDA(P) Allahabad.

It is not fair on the part of the Banks to be a silent spectator in this regard. Banks should not wait for each pensioner to demand for an Annexure IV. Giving out the print out of the Annexure IV to all the pensioners will improve the quality of service and customer satisfaction, also avoid unnecessary complaint and correspondence. Banks should keep this mind and start issuing this Annexure IV to all the pensioners at an early date.

On the other hand, it is suggested in the interest of the pensioners, that all the pensioners should visit their respective Bank Branches at least one day with a copy of a Blank Annexure IV and insist the Branch officials to issue it duly filled. Unless the pensioners join together and fight for their right, things will get worse day by day. There is no meaning in blaming the banks while standing in the que in front of an ATM and forget about it later.

If nothing is working out, alternatively, if necessary, all the pensioners join together one day in front of the Bank Branch and conduct a Dharna for the issue of the Annexure IV. Will you all join together for one hour struggle on any one day ? Please think it over. Unity is strength.
