Dear Sir,

I am an ex _________ joined the service of Indian Navy on _________ and was discharged on -__________. My details are as follows :

NAME  ___________________________      RANK ___________    NO.__________________

DATE OF JOINING __________________      DATE OF RELEASE   _________________________

The honorable Supreme Court was kind enough to allow our plea for special pension under section 95 of the Naval Pension Regulation 1964, while deciding the case No. Civil Appeal No.2147/2011, with CA 8566/2014 along with impleadment of other similarly placed ex sailors.  As per the order of the honorable Supreme Court dated 27 Oct 2016, quoted ibid, the competent authority has to take decision within three months from the date of application for grant of Special Pension, three years retrospectively, from the date of application.

Accordingly, I am entitled to receive “special Pension” from three years prior to the date of my application.

I, therefore request you to, take necessary action for the same and issue appropriate orders for the sanctioning of the special pension, with effect from the date of receipt of this letter.

Thanking you.

                                                                                                 Yours Faithfully,
