What is CDA Circular 547 ?




THE 6TH CPC ANAMOLIES STILL NOT RESOLVED

What is CDA Circular 547 ?

There was an  anomaly in the fixation of pension as per 6th CPC.  One Central Pensioner’s Federation won the legal battle, and finally CDA issued Cir.547 for re-fixation of pension from 1.1.2006 and pay the arrears of the difference between the Tables of 547 and Cir.430 from 1.1.2006 to 30.6.2009.  For Family pensioners the arrears are to be paid from 1.1.2006 to 23.9.2012. But the widows of Sepoy to Hon.Nb.Sub of Group B to H are not eligible for any arrears. Only the families of group A Sepoy to Hon.Nb.Sub and Nb.Sub and above of all the group are eligible for the arrears.
It is very difficult for the banks to identify the Family pensioners Group, therefore, they may not get the arrears in time.  Therefore, individual pensioners must send their attested pension documents to the CPPCs with a requisition letter.  If you are not vigilant, you may not get the arrears at all.  All the ex-servicemen welfare associations should monitor the situation and get arrears to all pensioners at the earliest.

What is the  Delinking of 33 years service for 
full pension and what benefit you get ?

If you are serving 33 years, you are sure to get 50% of your last drawn pay as your pension.  This is the basic central pension rule.  But in case of Defence pensioners, 15yrs, 20 yrs service, last drawn pay  taken as 33 years pay and the pension was unjustifiably reduced  for 15 yrs, 20 yrs. (Pro-rata pension) and paid.  This gross injustice was removed by an Individual’s Legal battle (Sri M.O.Inasu, a pre 2006 pensioner) and finally the Government was forced to pay 50% of last pay drawn as pension irrespective of number of years of service.  By this judgment most of the Defence pensioners and re-employed defence pensioners are benefitted.  As on date orders for Civil pensioners have been released.  CDA yet to release circular on the subject.

  1. Dear sir, Delinking of 33 years to full pension. PLease refer PCDA circular No 502 dated 17 Jan 2013. This circular was issued for Enhanced/ ordinary rate of family pension. Table in this circular for Enhanced rate of family pension in Table 1 & ordinary rate of family pension in Table No 2. Enhanced rate of family pension is equal to service pension. In PCDA circular 501 dated 17 Jan 2013 table DESW/ PCDA have shown pension based on 50% of Notional max pay as per fitment table among three services with prorate reduction for less service. But Min pension i.e, 50% of min pay in pay band as per fitment table is not maintained. In circular 502 dated 17 Jan 2013 which was issued for Enhanced/ ordinary rate of family pension, same pensions i.e 50% of notional max pay as per fitment table as shown as in circular No 501 dated 17 Jan 2013 and 50%/30% of min pay as per fitment table is also maintained. There is no confusion in Min pension. Unnecessary DESW is prolonging/ delaying the issue. Simply they have to reissue Tables of DESW/ PCDA circular No 502 dated 17 Jan 2013 Table 1 Enhanced rate of family pension for Service pension and Table 2 Ordinary rate of family pension for family pension. If I am wrong, Please advice me. Twice I have represented these thins to DESW and PCDA. But reply is not satisfactory. Regards ....Prakash Pattar. Ex Sub Maj.
