MANIPULATION IN THE 6TH CPC RECOMMENDATIONS.

MANIPULATION IN THE WELL INTENTIONED RECOMMENDATION

OF THE 6^TH CPC.

(a)    The Govt approved recommendation the 6^th CPC  states “The fixation of

pension will be subject to the provision that the revised pensions, in no case, shall be lower than fifty percent of the sum of the minimum of the pay in the pay band  and  grade pay thereon corresponding to the pre-revised scale from  which the pensioner had retired”.

 (b)  However, above provisions having been duly approved by the Union Govt, were tweaked / tinkered / modified / manipulated as under to entirely change the essence of the govt resolution “The pension calculated at 50 percent of the minimum pay in pay band plus grade pay would be calculated (i) At minimum of pay band (irrespective of the pre-revised scale of pay ) plus the grade pay corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale”. 

(c)  Kindly note, - The wording “Minimum of Pay in the Pay Band” has been replaced by inserting words “At minimum of Pay Band ( irrespective of  the pre-revised scale of pay)” 

 

(d)  Further the word “and” has been replaced by word “plus” thereby bringing about complete change to determent of the defence services. It may be noted that “the words “sum of” and “thereon” used by the 6^th CPC have been omitted and the word “and” has been replaced by word “plus”. This mischievous insertion (of plus) side tracks/de-links wording “corresponding to the pre-revised scale from which the pensioner had retired” from the grade pay and relates ONLY to the “Grade Pay” of the rank, thereby de-linking the same from the words “Pay in the Pay Band”.  The entire effect of the Govt resolution has been wiped out by this unauthorised and mischievous   substitution. 

(e)  Defence pensioners can only be benefited from the recommendation of the 6^th CPC if Minimum of pay in the pre-revised scale of pay of the rank from which such pensioners retired, is taken into account for revision of pension of pre 2006 pensioners. 

(f)  Consequent to above, not only are we nowhere closed to the genuine demand of OROP but even the modified parity recommended by the 6^th CPC and accepted by the Govt has been mischievously and maliciously denied to defence personnel due to bureaucratic intrigue.
