PETITIONS FOR REVISION OF PENSION W.E.F. 1.1.1996 - RESPONSES FROM VARIOUS AUTHORITIES

All Veteran brothers are aware that I have posted a detailed  Petition d/d 15.1.2010, CLICK HERE  another d/d 15.3.2010 (CLICK HERE) and the last one d/d 04.4.2010 CLICK HERE.

It is once again requested to one and all Veteran Brothers to kindly go through/peruse (if not done) and send out a similar Petition, incorporating their service particulars at apprporiate places. That will send the messagee to the authorities that many veterans are aware of their pension details and as such demanding for fixation of correct pension benefits. Or else, it will be treated that the veterans are happy with what they are given.

Let me emphasize herein that although the response was on expected lines from various authorities, viz. GOI, MOD (D/Pen Gr.Cell), CGDA, Air HQ (JDPA), Air HQ (DPP&R), AFRO (Oi/cP&WW(Pre-96), all based in New Delhi and JCDA(P) Allahabad, re-iterating that what-so-ever action taken by them so far is correct and valid, but the response itself speaks volumes of casual manner in which the veterans pension issues are dealt.  Casual manner, I mean here that the Veterans' pensionary benefits issues are dealt most carelessly, un-sympathetically and in a mechanical manner without application of mind.

In other words, the facts and figures and factual position raised in my petitions aforestated, stand testified.  The authorities have failed to justify their action on interpretation of (1) FIXATION OF PENSION based on the guaranteed MINIMUM PENSION FORMULA envisged in orders dt.7.6.99 (as amended), (2) Wrongfully including the formula of Merger of 50%DA into Basic Pension given from 1.4.2004 and in vogue on 31.12.1995, dragged into the Most Important Circular No. 350 d/d 19.5.06 and shown as a fresh benefit w.e.f.1.1.2006, in violation of Govt. Orders d/d 1.2.2006.

GOI, MOD Orders d/d 8.3.10, apparently have set right these defects of pre-post 1997 and stopped short of addressing the defects of pre-post 2006. And therefore, the struggle for removal of defects in pension fixation matters continues and goes on and on........

It is here and in that context that I appeal to all Veteran brothers to send petition after petitions till the issues are settled.  WHEN ONE PETITION CAN MAKE THE AUTHORITIES TO RESPOND, THEN A LARGE NUMBER OF VETERANS' PETITIONS, MUST BRING ABOUT THE BEST POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO PENSION FIXATION FORMULAS.

SO, VETERAN BROTHERS, PLEASE DO SEND YOUR PETITIONS URGENTLY.
