FIXATION OF PENSION : Para 10.1.67 , sub para (i) of 7th CPC Report
To arrive at NOTIONAL Pay , the Number of Increments Earned by the Retiree
is to be DETERMINED based on the LAST BASIC PAY drawn in the PAY SCALE
at the time of his retirement. As such., the Number of STAGES in the retiring
PAY SCALE from the Starting of the PAY SCALE up To the LAST BASIC PAY
drawn DETERMINES the Number of Increments drawn by the Retiree.
The Implementation Cell should consider this Vital Point most favorable
to the PENSIONERS and this is the Correct and Appropriate Method.
Illustration on Fixation of Pension in Case 2 of Para 10.1.71 is relevant.
I don’t understand about the meaning of Military Service Pau (MSP). Especially this is applicable only to Armed Forces personnel to boost their morale up. Then, every employee of Military should get equal amount irrespective of their rank and post. Why the govt showing parity like more to officers rank and less to other ranks?
