In a relief to senior citizens, who retired from government service before 2006, the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has directed the Centre to re-fix their pension on the basis of recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission (VI CPC).
The order will provide relief to thousands of such retired government servants whose pension would increase substantially. A three-judge bench of CAT headed by its Chairman Justice V K Bali quashed the August 29, 2008 government resolution which amended the recomendations of the sixth pay commission due to which the pre-2006 retirees were getting lower pension than the post 2006 retirees. The bench passed the orders on a bunch of petitions filed by individuals, their association -- Central Govt. Pensioners Association -- claiming pension at par with post-2006 retirees on the recommendations of the VI CPC, which took effect from January 1, 2006.

ReplyDelete"Prior to 01-01-2006 (6th CPC), pension in respect of ranks from Sepoy to Sub Maj was calculated based on the top-end (maximum) of the scales rather than the bottom as was applicable to Commissioned Officers and civilian retirees. After the 6th CPC, the service pension calculation formula for all ranks and services was changed to 50% of minimum of pay band + Grade Pay (GP) + Military Service Pay (MSP) + X Group Pay (where applicable) while the formula for family pension was 30% of the same above mentioned components."
ReplyDeleteIS IT NOT THAT THE CAT HAS CLEARED THE WAY FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF 6 CPC APPLYING CONDITION FOR CIV PRE-2006 PENSIONERS.THAT IS GRANTING FULL PENSION FOR 20 YRS SERVICE. THE SAME CAN BE APPLIED FOR DEFENCE PENSIONERS GRANTING FULL PENSION FOR 15 YRS SERVICE FOR PRE-2006 DEFENCE PENSIONERS.

COMMENT BY-COL LAMBA
IN 5thCPC DA ON ATTAINING 50% WAS MERGED IN BASIC AS DP
IN 6th CPC VARIOUS ALLOWANCES FOR SERVING HAS BEEN HIKED BY 25% ON ATTAINING DA AT 50%
SO IT IS GREAT INJUSTICE TO PENSIONER AS DA HAS REACHED 50% BUT NOT ADDED AS DP AS IN 5th CPC.ANY LOGIC PLEASE FOR THIS VARIATION
