SCPC: PCDA issues circular to demystify the Pension Tables

Implementation of Government’s decision on the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission – Revision of Pension of Pre 2006 Armed Forces Pensioners/ Family Pensioners.
Reference:-GOI, MOD letter No. 17(4)/2008(1)/D(Pen/Policy) dated 11.11.2008 and this Office Circulars No. 397 dated 18.11.2008, 398 dated 18.11.2008 and No. 401 dated 18.12.2008

It has come to the notice that some of the PDAs while consolidating the pension/ family pension under Annexure –I to MOD letter dated 11.11.2008 are not stepping up the pension/ family pension vide Annexure –II and Annexure-III to MOD letter where it is beneficial than the pension under Annexure-I in respect of the commissioned officers/ PBOR. They are resorting only to the consolidation of pension as per the Annexure –I. Such action on the part of the PDAs, in particular to Banks, is not in accordance to the Government Orders, leads to complaints from the Pensioners/ Family Pensioners and has been viewed seriously by the Government as it is affecting the morale of the Ex Service men. Detailed instructions in this regard already exist in Para 6 of this office circular No. 397 dated 18.11.2008.
PCDA: Most Important Circular

Comment: A typical Red Tape Bureaucracy in action. Clarifications to multitude of Pension anomalies will only further frustrate the Banking Authorities in deciphering the Annexures, Circulars and Tables. All that is required is a simple comprehensive table so that an ordinary pensioner does not require extraordinary skills to calculate his pension entitlement.
