7th CPC Pension Arrears Calculator 2017
[Updated July 2017: This calculator has modified as per Concordance Tables. Concordance Tables for fixation of notional pay and pension / family pension of employees who retired/died in various grades during the 4th, 5th and 6th Pay Commission periods have been prepared and published by the Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare on 6th July, 2017.]
We have designed an another simple online tool for Pre-2016 Pensioners to find out their pension and arrears from 1.1.2016. As per the Pensioners Portal Order dated 12.5.2017, Pension can be calculated in two options. Old formulation already implemented by the Govt to the Pre-2016 Pensioners, pension was determined by multiplying the pension/family pension as had been fixed at the time of implementation of the recommendations of the 6th CPC by 2.57. Now, it has been decided to revise the pension for Pre-2016 pensioners by notionally fixing their pay in the pay matrix recommended by the 7th CPC. Arrears would be admissible w.e.f.1.1.2016.

Most probably the grade pay has been taken as rs4800, but it should be taken as 5400 as per level 9 of matrix table as I retired as accounts officer on 30/11/2004

Subject – “Pre-1996 retired majors to get pension of lieutenant colonels: AFT
“Ajay Sura | TNN | Updated: Jun 4, 2017, 01.13 PM IST
CHANDIGARH: Erasing pension disparity between two groups of majors who retired before 2006, the Chandigarh bench of the Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT) has directed the government to bring the pension of pre-1996 retired majors having 21 years of commissioned service or more at par with that of lieutenant colonels. The order is applicable from January 2006.
The AFT bench, comprising Justice Bansi Lal Bhat and Lt-Gen Sanjiv Chachra (retd), passed these orders while allowing a petition filed by Major Tarlok Singh and others.
In 1997, the ministry of defence (MoD) had issued a letter granting pay of lieutenant colonel to majors who had completed 21 years of service. These officers were consequently given pension at par with lieutenant colonels. This, however, resulted in a huge disparity following implementation of the 6th Central Pay Commission.
In 2013, the MoD issued fresh orders for release of lieutenant colonels’ pension to majors with more than 21 years of commissioned service with effect from January 2006. But this only applied to those who had retired between 1996 and 2006, thereby splitting the homogeneous category of pre-2006 retirees of the same rank into two groups. While majors with 21 years of service, who retired between 1996 and 2006 were granted a pension of Rs 26,265 per month, those who retired prior to 1996 got Rs 18,206 per month.
Based on law laid down by the Supreme Court, the AFT bench held that it would be discriminatory to make such a division among pre-2006 retirees based on a cut-off date. In its order released on Friday, the bench has directed that the pension applicable to Lt Cols being granted to majors who retired between 1996 and 2006 be extended to pre-1996 cases also from January 2006.
The AFT has further directed the MoD to extend the benefit to all retirees without forcing them into litigation. The defence services headquarters had taken up this anomaly with the MOD time & again but nothing happened.”

The calculater is useful. Of course departments may take a Little bit of time to issue the revised PPOs. I thank GOI for this decision. Waiting.
L.J. Teckchandani says
How long it is going to take the concerned P&AOs to issue the revised PPOs of the pensioners? Or will the concerned pension disbursing banks themselves calculate the pension on the formula indicated and disburse pension arrears provisionally with provision for adjustment of the total arrears thereafter as is the normal practice. Otherwise it is going to take long time for issuance of revised PPOs by which time some pensioners would die. Wish if this could be done at the earliest so that pensioners are able to see and if required represent in case of wrong calculations since in case of some pensioners there is one in their families to do so in case someone dies. Will the concerned authorities look into this aspect?
