(Vandana Sharma)
Joint Secretary to the Government of India
It is confirmed that the above order does not cover the pensioners of Autonomous bodies. The Government is bent upon to delay as much as possible, possibly upto 2019, the implementation of 7 CPC to the pensioners of Autonomous Bodies. This is the first time in the history of this country the pensioners are being ignored from pay commission benefits. The faith in this government is eroding fast..
My date of retirement from the post of Superintendent is 31-12-2003 . My Basic Pay as 31-12-2003 was 7600/- and 10 month average was Rs. 7530/- . My pension was fixed from 1-01-01-2004 is Rs. 3765/- and commutation of pension is 1506/- and after commutation total pension is Rs. 2259/-
My pay scale as superintendent was 5500-175-9000/- Date of joining Central Govt. Service is 07-05-1964 and my I have completed 39yrs & 7months Govt. service..
Now what will be my revised pension as per 7th CPC Report?
Central Government employees ((including service personnel) who were absorbed in PSUs/ABs and who had commuted entire pension, are at present, allowed restoration of one-third portion on completion of 15 years from the date of commutation.. Legally they are entitled for 100% restoration. The legal provisions/judicial decisions in support of this contention are as under :-
(a) S.12 of Pensions Act, 1871 declares that all assignments, agreements, orders, sales and securities of every kind made by any person entitled to pension ….or … are null and void
(b) As per apex court judgment dated 9 Dec 1986 in WP 3958-61 of 1983 (reproduced under S.10 CCS (Commutation)) of Pension Rules, 1981,those who have commuted the admissible portion of their pension are entitled to have the commuted portion restored on expiry of 15 years. The admissible portion for absorbees was 100% while it was one-third/40% for normal retirees.
(c) Armed Forces Tribunal, Regional Bench Kochi in OA 34/2011 decided on 8.07.2013 Maj Gen (R) VP Yadav vs UoI, taking cue from certain paras of apex court judgment at (b) above upheld that the Applicant is entitled for restoration of entire portion of pension. The AFT is equivalent to High Court and appeal lies to Supreme Court.. Though more than three years are over, the decision has not been challkenged.
(d) The apex court in Civil Appeal 6048/2010 UoI vs (late) Ganeshan upheld the decision of Madras High Court that (late) Ganeshan is entitled for restoration of 100% Pension.
It is crystal clear that the absorbees are legally eligible for 100% restoration.
I request the Government not to be misguided by negatively charged buroaucrats and become a source of litigation.,I wish to recollect that in the past too the absorbees .were denied justice at official level but got remedy from CATs/HC/SC. The threat of facing contempt petition solved the problem.
.
Why delay in issue of pension orders in case of absorbees who have encashed 100% pension and became entitled for 1/3rd pension based on the judgement of the supreme court ? This is a very small segment of pensioners..Kindly issue orders so that this group may also avail of real time benefit. The orders may also cover the protection of pension and DR drawn on 31-12-2015 in the revised pension under 7th pay commission. .
Why delay for defence pensioners when others got already.we are upset before festival time .we request to expedite the process immediately.weare always grateful to you.
The pay commission already declard why delay what are govt give we satisfy so kinly sanctoin as so as possible because we done chidrens education levels so pl.
As said in Para 7(a) of OM dated 04 08 2016, is any such O.O regulating pension of Govt. absorbees in any PSU who have received 100% one-time lumpsum amount for the pension and continue on receiving 1[3rd pension restored under the orders of the Deptt. of Pension issued from time to time iissued ? If so , OO NO PLEASE.

Honorable Sir/Madam, as per 7th CPC report in connection with options to fix revised basic pension ie, 6th CPC basic pension multiply into 2.57% and on the basis of increments drawn in the particular scale of pay & grade pay. For opting this formula i am herewith submitting my humble ideas and suggestions for update the employees/pensioners salary details data in the modified digital transparent software of all the ministries/department before implementing this option of adding increments ie, 6th CPC basic pay/basic pension into number of increments drawn @ 3% annual increment that equals the revised basic pay/basic pension as per 7th CPC.
At present the formula implemented by the 7th CPC will be more effective for fixation of revised basic pay/basic pension,as per DOPP&W OM 4.1 For existing pensioners, who have retired before 01.01.2016, the revised pension/family pension with effect from 01.01.2016 shall be determined by multiplying the pension/family pension, as had been fixed at the time of implementation of 6th Central Pay Commission (CPC) recommendations, by 2.57. The amount of revised pension/family pension so arrived at shall be rounded off to next higher rupee.
My humble suggestions is only for the GOI superior authorities only & just for humble discussions only.
With regards,
