Sir, our concern is for the Pensioners who were eligible for Semi private wards at the time of their retirement before 6th pay commission. But on revising their Pension after 6th pay commission and also after 7th pay commission, they have become eligible for Private ward. Kindly allow these Pensioners for the Private ward as per their revised Pension and for this facility, one time charges if any can also be charged from willing Pensioners. Kindly help. Thanks.
