Brother,
Sub: Meeting of the Committee set up to examine the feasibility of implementation of recommendation of 7th CPC for revision of pension of pre-2016 pensioners-reg.
Meeting with the Government on 7th CPC recommendation for determination of pay in the case of pre-2016 pensioners, examination of the feasibility of option No.1, was held today at 10:00 hrs.
The Official Side again stressed that option No.1 is not feasible of implementation because of non-availability of records of lot many retirees. However, after discussion the Staff Side welcomed the
alternative suggested by Official Side in the meeting held on 06th October 2016 and, gave following suggestions.
“The Pensioners/family pensioners may be allowed to choose any one of the following three options:-
(a) 2.57 time of the present pension if that is beneficial.
(b) Option No.1. Recommended by the 7th CPC, if that is beneficial for them.
(c) to determine the Pension on the basis of the suggestion placed by the Pension Department on 6.10.2016 i.e. extension of the benefit of pension determination recommended by the 5th CPC (viz. arriving at notional pay in the 7th CPC by applying formula for pay revision for serving employees in each Pay Commission and consequent pension fixation) to all pre-20I6 Pensioners/family pensioners, if that becomes beneficial to them.”
The Official Side gave assurance to examine the proposal.

Pre 2016 pension should not fall at least Below fifty percent of the min pay in the level applicable..This principle not followed now. I am a victim in level. 11 .This may be taken up by Anomaly Committee.
If option 1 implement, then what about those employees/pensioners who have not have not yet granted any annual increments on account of penality of withholding annual increments (NR/Non recurring effect) & finally opted for voluntary retirement as per provisions granted by ministries/departments. In this case how deal these issues & how fixing the revised 7th CPC pay/pension on the basis of option No.1, (all types penalties which have non recurring effect may grant due annual increments after the expiry of each penality orders & arrears to be sanction to all serving employees/pensioners/family pensioners ) & for doing this all manually prepared service registers of all serving employees/pensioners/family pensioners from the date of joining to service & up to retirement revision is required mandatory.
