DE LINKING OF 33 YERARS SERVICE FOR FULL PENSION

(Benefits available to ex-servicemen re-employed in Central Govt. Departments.)

(Revised pension benefits from 1.1.2006 to all the ex-servicemen and their families)

All the ex-servicemen re-employed in Central Government departments like, Railways, Income Tax, Central Excise, Customs, Postal, Telecom, All India Radio, Door Darshan, CRPF, BSF, etc., etc., are retiring before completing 33 years service.  Therefore all were paid Pro rata pension (Reduced pension) before 1.1.2006.

In this context, a petition filed by Shri M.O.Inasu, seeking full pension even if the qualifying service is less than 33 years was allowed  by Hon’ble CAT/High Court resulting in issue of OM No.38/37/08-P&PW(AA) GOI, Ministry of Personnel and Public Grievances, Department of Pensioners Pension and Pensioners’ welfare OM dated 6.4.2016 for full pension w.e.f. 1.1.2006 even if the qualifying service is less than 33 years.

Accordingly all the ex-servicemen re-employed and retired from Central Govt. Departments are eligible for full pension and arrears w.e.f. 1.1.2006.  Generally most of the ex-servicemen are re-employed in Group IV posts.  Therefore they are not aware of these benefits.

The purpose of this article is to get the benefits to these poor Group IV re-employed ex-servicemen and their families in various central government departments before 1.1.2006.

The following few examples will show how much increase will be there in their pension w.e.f. 1.1.2006 and the arrears payable to them including their families.
