DELINKING OF 33 YEARS
SERVICE FOR FULL PENSION FOR EX-SERVICEMEN RE-EMPLOYED IN CENTRAL GOVERNMENT
AND RETIRED.
All the ex-servicemen who were re-employed and retired
from Central Government Departments (like Central Excise, Customs, Income Tax,
Railways, Postal, Telecom, AIR, Doordarshan etc.) are being paid Pro-rata
pension now by taking 33 years service for full pension. Most of the ex-servicemen re-employed are
retiring before completing 33 years.
Therefore all all these men are paid pro-rata pension.
Now this Supreme Court judgment is a great relief to
them. The Department of Pension order dated
6.4.2016 will provide them 50% of the revised basic pay as their pension w.e.f.
1.1.2006. Therefore all the re-employed
and retired central government ex-servicemen pensioners will get their revised
pension from 1.1.2006 as per the Government order.
An example is given here for the information of all
concerned.
An ex-serviceman was re-employed & retired in 2001.in
the pay scale of 14300-400-18300 as on 31.12.2005.
His pay was revised to 37400-67000 with grade pay of 8700
as per 6 CPC
His pro-rata pension was fixed as follows:-
Minimum
of the pay band ----37400
Grade
pay ----------------------- 8700
Total 46100
For 33 yrs. Service 50% of pay as pension will be :
46100/2= 23,050
Pro-rata pension for 25 yrs. Is calculated as (23050/33)x25
= 17463
After de-linking 33 yrs. The pension from 1.1.2006 will
be = 23050
Difference to be paid as arrears from 1.1.2006 -- -
5587
Arrears to be paid now -- -- -- -- -793658
There is no arrears for family pension as the family
pension was paid correct as 30% of revised pay to all civil family pensioners.
the example shown in article not followed the CIR C149 para 2.
ReplyDeleteif we assume it correct then irrespective of LS all will get MGP only
which is against LAW
the meaning of c149 para 2 & 6 CPC is as follows
as per cpc
the Pension as on 31-12-2005 to be consolidated with MF 1.86
the so consolidated pension should not be less than 50% of minimum of pay scale in the pay band here one to note the cpc not stated as the MGP is compulsory to all and not recommended to removal of prorata to pre 06 pensioners so in its view the consolidated pension if it is higher than the same to be paid or if it is less to MGP then MGP to be paid
as per OM dated 06-04-16
in the above said OM para 6 states that the OM issued even dated in 2013 para 5 is deleted
what the OM of 2013 para 5 says " the consolidated pension is for 33 years service and where ever the LS is less than 33 it should be reduced proportionately (pro rata)
now let us adopt these two points to the present issue
it is clear the CP is a pro rata pension as per the OM 6-4-16 the prorata clause removed so this cp to be reversed to non pro rata and then it should be compared with MGP and which ever is paid
Thanks for giving an opportunity to write

Iam retlred from army ln the year 1999 and now re employed in railways in 2011 can i get this benefit if so how much amount i will get please help me in this regard
ReplyDeletePlease mention u r pay scale at time of retriment
DeleteIhave a question to ask.my father used to get old age pension benefit of 20 present on achieving 80 years. Now my mother will get orop for her husband. Will she get the 20 percent benifit too.
ReplyDeleteDelinking of 33 years of service is for minimim assured/guaranteed pension. Therefore the Minimum Assured/Guaranteed pension should not be less than 50% of the minimum of the pay scale of the rank in which the individual has retired. For calculation of minimum of the pay scale, the minimum of the pre 2006 pay scale has to be converted to appropriate level in the new pay band by multiplying with 1.86 and then add grade pay, MSP and Group pay if any. The presentation given in the blog is incorrect. Circular 547 issued by the PCDA Allhabad has to be amended and the pension given against 28 years of service has to be given to all those who retired with less than 33 years of service. All departments has implemented the order of the DOPPW dated 6.4.2016. Even PCDA issued orders for Defence civilian pensioners on 8.4.2016. The authorities say it is under consideration of the government for ex-servicemen.
ReplyDeleteDear Veterans,
ReplyDeleteHere is surprise for you as you suggested to amend PCDA CIRCULAR 547, it is already refused vide PCDA 549 to adopt Annexure-III of MOD letter 11.11.2008 which was never provided based para 5 of this letter & definitely it will be wrong as the calculation itself illustrated is wrong. PCDA treated now the armed forces similar to civilains then why 7th CPC delayed for defence & separate exercise.Is the service conditions same for defence & civilians. Need to open up their mind. Why OROP for defence, take it back.
I illurate what they speak of min.of fitment table is the table for civilians applicable to Post-2006 & as per it revision took place wef 24.09.2012 for civilians and the same was effected from 01.01.2006 the date of anomaly arise.
Now the same was to be done fo us & did so vide 547 whereby some PDA made the payment of arrears but directed vide 549 to stop it without providing the Annexure- III or min.of the fitment table as these were never published/ attached earlier.
Further interesting anomaly prevailed btwn civilian & defence is fixation of pay in pay band affecting pensions i.e. Illustrated by taking S-9 (PB-2) 5000-150-8000 where
5000 corresponds 9300 in revised pay.
5750 <> 10700
6050 <> 11260
Wheras 5770-140-8290 scale of defence,
5770 <> 9300 & no further correspondence table like civllians or Post-2006 of defence ( para 1 (i) of PCDA-471 refers) which could be applied to Pre-2006 pensioners.
What is applicable in PCDA 549 mentions is the table of PCDA-471 (Post-2006) based on Annexure- A of SAI 1/S/2008 or equivalents corresponding to the fitment table of the civilians vide F.No. 1/1/2008 IC.
Let us be carefull of cooking in implementation of Full pension- delinked from QS of 33yrs.
If they cook it they will had it for themselves by pulling down the image of DESW, MOD. No one can stop us getting it under the orders of Hon'ble SC.
I am an ex-corporal who has re-employed in PNB. I got my bank pension after serving 17 years. Please let me know if I am entitled for 50% of last drawn as pension. I am taking pro-rata pension since January 2011.
