  5. I was retired from Indian Coast Guard, my last working day there was 31/12/2005 & date of release n commencement of pension is 01/01/2006,whether I’m entitled for the revised pre 2006 pension as all the calculations in r/o my pension, gratuity & commutation are based on 5th pay commission, taking into consideration the average emoluments of last 10 months salary, which I received in 2005 only. If I’m entitled for the revised pre 2006 pension, which I should, I had not received any arrears till date neither my pension distributing bank giving any positive reply, showing total ignorance about it.
    Please guide me what should I do n whom to contact for payment of arrears.

  27. Sir,
    I am very dis appointing to say ,six month have been passed but no hope for arrears pre 2006 pensioners. After all still we are waiting according PCDA circular no 547 & clarification no 549 . It is surprising that no concern authority assurance for payment of arrears as per entitled amount.it is seen that only Hony Lt/ capt received arrears as per entitled.As per clear order by S C and PCDA Allahabad .

  28. Dear Friends please do not demand your arrears here put up your complain to concern CPPC (Central Pension Processing Cell).
    Please note do not beg or request it is your entitlement, and no one can stop this.
    Please take action in writing we are qualified enough to present our words in writing

  29. I retired on 30/09/2001 and till date I am getting Consolidated Pension on AVERAGE PAY .I made a numerous applications to the PCDA(P) but regrettably they have turned down them without giving Authy.for such action.
    They donot interpret the govt.order dated 28/01/2013 in its intended perspective.
    They donot fix the pension allowing a minimum of 50 pc of the last pay drawn.
    They donot act on court orders.
    Thus disparity continue to persist.

  31. PCDA had issued circular to all pension distributing authorities in September 2015 to pay arrears of pension to all pre 2006 retired military pensioners within a week where as till date no arrears has been paid to us. We cant understand what are the difficulties and when the banking authorities to take action on this matter?

  32. As per Hon’ble Supreme Court orders for revision of pension in respect of pre 2006 pensioners and subsequent government orders, all pre 2006 pensioners are entitled arrears wef 01 jan 2006 to 23 sep 2012 which is not done by the bankers so far. Based on government ibid orders, the pension which was revised wef 24 sep 2012 will be revised wef 01 jan 2006, but as per ministry of defence MO and pcda circular, there are different rules are framed in case officers / civilian and jcos/or cases which is not understood. please illustrate. Please also approach the concerned department to implement the orders like case of officers and civilian to JCOs/OR pre 2006 pensioners.

  33. SBI CPPC Allhabad is not crediting arrear of Subedar gp Y ‘ 28 years service as per circular No 547 ; 549 .

  61. Dear Sir, Pls find the below details and let me know the arrears amount. Because, last week I received Rs 5500/- only as arrears.
    Retried wef 01/01/2004
    Rank : Naik Y group,
    Corps of signals.

  62. Sir,
    Please confirm the date of pre 2006 pension arrears to be credited to bank.like OROP this things should not be linger any more .The Ex defence personnel in total confusion that Govt orders are saying something else.But implementation is delayed I do not know why….all the financial things are delayed only for defence personnel

  63. Why issue orders and circulars if the arrears are not to be paid in a stipulated time frame. Kindly refrain from doing so,., This disturbs PEACE OF MIND.

  64. We were fools…are fools…because JAWANS are considered fools by people you know better…Be happy like you used to remain happy during service…Like many blogs of ex.men…many groups..infighting…this is what politicians want and officers support from back door…I withdrew my only son from F[P] trg. because I know situation will never change…poor are treated as GULAM…

  69. Sir,
    Please confirm the date of pre 2006 pension arrears to be credited to bank.like OROP this things should not be linger any more .The Ex defence personnel in total confusion that Govt orders are saying something else.But implementation is delayed I do not know why….all the financial things are delayed only for defence personnel

  70. Most of Ex-servicemen are unable to understand, in the absence of various Govt circulars/letters, the out come of this particular circular. It is suggested that PAO must open site which displays all pension eligibilities of ex-serviceman when a PPO No. is typed and thereby the clerical mistakes at all levels, particularly by the concerned banks are avoided. This will be clear lot of air in the minds of Ex-servicemen. Also suggest, if an ex-servicemen are underpaid by the banks because of their clerical mistakes, the entire amount must be given to the EXSM with interest from the salary of concerned employee.

  71. I presume that most of the banks and their branches has have not received the orders and that is the reason why they are not giving the pension arrears.the central pension processing centres of the banks should take care of this or ready to pay interest on the arrears.

  72. As per the latest orders on the subject only Officers and Hony Lt and Capt will get arrears of pension from 1Jan 06 and infact it has already been credited into their account. Jcos and OR have been deprived of this and their pension as revised from 1Jul 09 and Sep 12 will be treated revised pension from that date. Just over one lac offrs have been paid and rest over twenty lac ex JCOs and OR have been deprived …what a great justice in our country where only upper ranks are taken care of. Clear case of discrimination and nothing is being done by various exservicemen organisations. I don’t know why they are mum, they got I think thats why. The outcome of OROP will also be likewise.

  73. Nb Sub Kulwant Singh Pannu retired from indian army after completing 22 years reckonable service on 31 Oct 1999. Please guide me for pre-2006 arrears.
    Regards

  74. IT IS STILL DISPARITY APPARENT

    This is regarding continuing disparity apparent between the pension of pre-2006 and post-2006 retirees despite the Courts’ orders and the orders issued by Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare. There is a need to issue further orders rectifying the inherent mistake and to act according to the spirit of the orders of the CAT PB. What needs to be done is to revise the pay of pre-2006 pensioners with reference to the pay the pensioner in fact was drawing at the time of his retirement and not with reference to the minimum of the pay scale. Fitment Table issued by Ministry of Finance under its letter dated 30-08-2008 which gives the stage to stage revised basic pay corresponding to the pay at which a pensioner had retired is the answer. The issue is elaborated as under: –
    The cabinet resolution dated 29-08-2008 confers the benefits of fixation of pension of pre 2006 pensioners as per the pay structure given by 6th CPC corresponding to the pre revised pay in the pay band w.e.f.01/01/2006 where by disparity in pension between the pre 2006 & post 2006 pensioners is desired to be removed. Past pensioners were allowed fitment benefit equal to 40% of the pension by adopting modified multiplication factor of 1.86 i.e. basic pension + dearness pension (wherever applicable) + dearness relief of 24% as on 1.1.2006. The revised fixation of pension was subject to the provision that revised pension, in no case, shall be lower than fifty per cent of the sum of the minimum of the pay in the pay band and the grade pay there on corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale from which the pensioner had retired.
    2. Minister of DoPT Shri Jitendra Singh, while giving a written reply in Rajya Sabha on 6.8.2015, confirmed that Hon’ble Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Principal Bench had allowed granting the benefit of minimum pension to the pensioners retired before 01.01.2006 as per the fitment tables applicable to the employees serving as on 01.01.2006. It is abundantly clear that it has nowhere been ordered that the revised pension of all the pensioners in a particular pay band is to be limited to the minimum level only or that all the pensioners in a particular pay band will get equal and same amount of pension irrespective of the different stages of pay from which they had retired, implying thereby that it is like one rank/grade one pension scheme. This may never be the intention of the Hon’ble Courts.

    3. A Review Application was filed against the order passed by CAT Principal Bench New Delhi in OA No.937/2010 dated 20.11.2014. In the OA, which was heard along with OA 2101/2010, basically three issues were before them , (i) to confer the same notional pay scales starting from Rs.75500/- to S-30 employees at par with S-31; (ii) revise the pay of pre- 1.01.2006 retirees corresponding to the pay at which the concerned pensioner had in fact retired, instead of considering the minimum of the said pay scale, and to give the same pension/ family pension to pre and post 2006 retirees depending on the years of service; and (iii) to ensure that pre-2006 S-30 retirees are not given pension/ family pension less than that given to post 2006 retirees who had worked in the lower pay
    scales viz. S-24 S-29.

    As regards prayer number (ii), the CAT Principal Bench New Delhi had held clearly as follows:

    “We direct the respondents to consider the revised pay of the applicants corresponding to the pay at which the concerned pensioner had in fact retired, instead of considering the minimum of the said pay scale, thereby determining pension/ family pension to pre-2006 retirees.”

    4. Following the dismissal of the SLPs filed by the Government, Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare has issued orders vide OM No.38/37/08-P&PW (A) dated 30.07.2015 in implementation of the orders of the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The OM dt. 30. 07. 2015 confirms its OM dated 28.01.2013 under which a revised concordance table was issued limiting the pension to 50% of the sum of minimum pay in the pay band and grade pay/ minimum pay in the pay scale as per fitment table issued under Ministry of Finance OM. No. 1/1/2008-1C dated 30th August, 2008. It forfeits the very purpose of restoring the modified parity to the pre-2006 with post-2006 retirees because the pay of those in service on 01-01-2006 was fixed with reference to different pay stages at which they were drawing their pay on or before 01-01-2006 whereas for the revision of pension of pre-2006 retirees only the pay at the minimum stage has been considered. Pension is always fixed with reference to the pay at the time of retirement. Therefore, when the pension of the pre-2006 retirees is not fixed with reference to the revised basic pay based on pay (not the scale of pay) from which the pensioner had in fact retired, as per different stages shown in the Fitment Table dated 30th August, 2008 but with reference to the minimum of the pay in the pay scale corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale, there will only be disparity apparent and no parity at all as is the spirit of the judgments of the Hon’ble CAT (Principal Bench) New Delhi, Hon’ble High Court of Delhi and the Hob’ble Supreme Court of India. It is quite unreasonable.

    5. There are 24 stages in majority of pay bands. In New Entry Scale sandwiched between S-15 and S-16 there are 24 stages of pay ranging from 8000 to 14325 ( Pre-revised) and 21000 to 32050 (Corresponding Pay Band). I retired at basic pay of Rs.11025 the revised corresponding basic pay as per Fitment Table is Rs.20510 + GP Rs.5400 = Rs. 25,910, whereas as per the concordance table annexed to the OM dated 28-01-2013 it is only Rs.21000. It will be the same Rs. 21000 even if a pensioner had retired on the maximum of pay stage of Rs.14325. So, where is the parity?
    6. “It is settled proposition of law that persons similarly situated have to be given similar treatment to avoid the charge of arbitrariness or discrimination, in other words, violation of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. It is also settled position of law that beneficent schemes have to be interpreted in favour of the employee for whose benefits the schemes are promulgated.”

    O. A. Nos. 060/00039 of 2014

    7. I retired on 1-05-2003. My revised pension as on 01-01-2006 is Rs.12181 whereas as per Fitment Table for serving employees it should be 12955 (50% of Rs.25, 910) as shown above. Hence, the pension revised w.e.f. 1-1-2006 as per OM dt. 1.9.2008 is short of Rs. 774 per month. It means there is no parity restoration. It needs to be stepped up to Rs.12955 as per Court’s orders.
