A CLARIFICATION FOR GRANT OF ADDITIONAL PENSION

 

A CLARIFICATION  FOR GRANT OF ADDITIONAL PENSION

As per Govt. of India, Ministry of defence letter No.1(11)/2009/D(Pen/Policy) dated 18 Aug 2009 and PCDA(P), Allahabad Most Important Circular No.417 dated 02 Sep 2009, all PDAs are authorized to make payment of additional pension in case the exact date of birth is not available either in the PPO or in the Office Records but and indication regarding the age of pensioner is available in the Office Records/PPO/Discharge certificate.

As per PPO No.S/10126/71, the age of one Ex.Hony. Sub.S.Devasahayam was 45 years in 1971.  Hence, 20% enhancement is applicable to him with effect from 01 Jan 2007.

The above clarification was given by the Record Officer  of the Madras Regiment to a query raised by a PDA.  This clarification is published for information and guidance of the pensioners as well as the Pension paying banks.

Note: It is observed  that almost all the Discharge Certificates/PPOs held by the defence pensioners  invariably contains the Year of birth/date of birth.  The clarification indicates that it is sufficient to release the additional pension if an indication regarding the age/year of birth is available.

It is earnestly requested that the aged pensioners should not made to run from pillar to post to get date of birth for sanction of additional pension.

AFT DEFINES MINIMUM PAY FOR MAJORS & EQUIVALENTS.

.AFT DEFINES MINIMUM PAY FOR MAJOR & EQUIVALENT RANKS

The minimum pay defined by AFT in respect of the petitioners of the Rank of Lt.Cdr and Sqn.Ldr is equally applicable to all ranks from Lt. to Lt.Gen.  The basis for computation of pension will be notional pay in accordance with the fitment tables for all.(i.e. Scale of pay as per Vth CPC  x 1.86 + GP + MSP/2)

Fortunately, it is likely that the benefit  may also be applicable to the Honorary Lieutenants and Honary Captains and equivalent ranks in Navy and Air Force.

Accordingly, these Hony. Lts. and Hony. Capts. & equivalents should get the following

revised pension.

Rank                Present Pension            Likely Rev. Pen          Rev. pen +45%DA

Hon.Lt.            13,500                         15,465                         22,425

Hon.Capt.        13,850                         16,140                         23,405.

Hon. Lts. and Hon. Captns.  normally retire after a minimum of 24 year service.  The benefits applicable on the basis of the AFT Judgement may be extended to these honorary officers also.  It is justifiable.

HAVILDAR GETTING LESS PENSION THAN A SEPOY

A NAIK AND HAVILDAR IS GETTING LESS PENSION THAN A SEPOY

HOW DO YOU JUSTIFY ?

A JUSTIABLE REMEDY TO REMOVE THE ANOMALY  OF A SEPOY GETTING MORE PENSION THAN A NAIK AND HAVILDAR OF SAME GROUP AMD SAME LENGTH OF SERVICE  AS PER CDA CIR 430.

Existing  pension  as per VI th Pay commission- CDA circular-430
Rank               Group Qly.Service pension Table.No as per Cir 430
SEP                A,X              15         5368           1
NK                 A X              15         5290`        11
HAV               A,X             15         5355          21

This anomaly may be removed by a simple formula by increasing the weightage
given to NK and HAV by just ONE year. That is:
Weightage for Naik……        9 years  instead of 8 years
                        For HAV…..  7 years instead of 6 years.

NOTIONAL FITMENT FORMULA : ON MAX SCALE OF PAY AS ON 10-10-1997.
For Naik…….Group A,X…   scale of pay ….  3700-85-4975
Maximumof pay….4975 x fitment factor 1.86=9353  rounded to ten= 9360   + GP +MSP
                                                                
+ X Group pay                    = 9360+2400+200+1400=15160
                                                                     
Full pension= 50% of pay=  15160/2=7580
Weight age- 9yrs    Prorata pension……..7580x(15+9)24/33=5512
Pension of Naik will be Rs.5512
For the Rank of Havildar: Group A,X ---Scale of pay= 4150 – 100 – 5650
Maximum  of pay= 5650 x fitment factor 1.86=10509  rounded to ten= 10510  +Gp+                                             
Msp + X gp. Full Pay = 10510+2800+2000+1400=16710
Full pension 50% of pay= 16710/2=8355
Weightage for HAV-7yrs   Prorata pension=  8355x(15+7)22/33=5570
Pension of a Havildar- Rs 5570

The MOD accepts that this anomaly is due to the difference in weightage allowable to different ranks, especially in lower ranks.  Hence we suggest to increase the weightage by one year to Naiks and Havildars respectively. It is not justified to continue with this anomaly.

In this method,  a Naik and Havildar will be getting more than a Sepoy pension,
thus there will be no anomaly.

Our suggestion may be taken in the right spirit and considered for favorable
implementation
