To
Shri Pradeep Kumar Sinha,
Cabinet Secretary,
Government of India,
Rashtrapathi Bhawan Annexe,
New Delhi-110001.
Respected Sir,
Sub: VII Central Pay Commission recommendations – Submission to the empowered Committee Secretaries- reg.
1. Bharat Pensioners Samaj(BPS) Federation of pensioners’ associations, a conglomerate of over 628 pensioners’ organizations as an accredited Federation under the Government of India, had appealed to the Secretary, Ministry of personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, on 16.2.2016 during the meeting on Aadhar seeding to hold a meeting of Pensioners Associations to discuss 7th CPS pension related recommendations, though he had agreed to hold such a meeting but it did not materialize.
2. Now BPS has come to know through NJCA News letter dated 27.5.2016 issued after their meeting with you on 26.5.2016 that the Department of Pension is opposed to the first option recommended by the 7th CPC to bring about the parity with the past pensioners, as they consider it to be infeasible and impracticable (due to the non-availability of the requisite records)
3. It is hard to believe, how a department meant for the welfare of pensioners which helped pensioners to get better deal in earlier pay commissions could arrive at such a damaging and misleading decision without even consulting the stake holders.
4. Sir, Service record is a permanent one and if it to be destroyed, proper permission from the Competent Authority is to be obtained. In any case, service record of pensioners can always be reconstructed taking the details from various sources available with the department and the material collected from the Pensioner. This has been done in the past while implementing parity enunciated by fifth CPC and even while implementing modified parity of 6th CPC. It is also being done now implementing OROP. In this regard Your kind attention is also drawn to recent Bombay High court Nagpur judgement dated 09.03.2015 in case of Smt.Saija v. General Manager, Central Railway O.A.No.2131 of 2011 (Bombay Bench at Nagpur)
Undersigned in the capacity of Secy. Genl ‘Bharat Pensioners Samaj’ request you to takean independent decision in view of submission in Para 4 above to save pensioners/family pensioners from unprecedented permanent damage by a department meant for their welfare.
Thanking you in anticipation

It has been displayed on several blogs that the report of 7CPC would be implemented w.e.f. 1st July, 2016 after reviewing/considering the recommendations on 11th June, 2016.
Is it a true news or mare a rumor one.
Almighty bless.

Service book is permanent record and always available with the controlling offices. It is ridiculous to say that records are not available. This shows the callous attitude of DOP. Govt. servants who got their promotion very late are the worst sufferers every time. The first option proposed by 7th CPC is the only way to provide juyustice to such suffers.
The parity , which was denied earlier, and now sought to be restored is making right an unpardonable wrong suffered by the pre 2006 retirees. These people verily in their advanced age well beyond 75 and surviving today would constitute small fraction of those pre-retirees. Maybe there are some family pensioners of an equal extent. These are senior and very senior citizens at present suffering untold miseries. Higher income segment will again be a miniscule and also are not affected as badly as the others. . So the majority who are affected fall in the poorer sections of the govt retirees. They have all felt grateful for the news of parity being brought. Now if the govt succeeds in the retrogade step proposed, it will mean bloodbath and the greatest disservice to humanity. Those who have been entrusted the duty of finalising the implementation of the 7th CPC should never ever have thought of such a move, unless they have strong antisocial motives.
