SCPC: Pension anomaly- pre-2006 Majors

My dear Veterans,
I would like to pay my sincere thanks to all senior veterans, especially to Brig Subramanian and Col Raman for taking a lot of pains in bringing out the shocking pension anomaly of pre-2006 Majors and equivalents. Further, I would like to air my own views on the subject in succeeding paras.

As the learned veterans may be aware, the Government had set up a National Anomaly Committee to address the anomalies arising out of the implementation of 6CPC. The terms of this committee are expiring on 4th February 2010 and it has to give its recommendations by that date. The civilian staff side members of the committee have already finalized the points to be discussed and first meeting has already been held on 12th December 2009. For details, please visit Anomaly Committee (the details of first meeting has been posted on 14th December 2009 and the items to be discussed by the anomaly committee have been posted on 22nd April 2009). Our main interest remains with Item No. 14 of the agenda which has been deferred for next meeting.

Please go through Item No. 14 carefully to assess the likely changes in the minimum assured pension. It is needless to mention that pension of service officers is regulated on the lines of pension of civilian central Government employees.

I personally feel that in case the above point is decided favorably, there may be some changes in the pension of not only in respect of Majors but also in respect of Cols, Brigs and Maj Gens. Though there may be some changes but pension anomaly of Majors will still exist with revised data.

In view of the above, we must re-assess our case of pension anomaly of Majors after the outcome of National Anomaly Committee. In case of legal battle, the case should be fought under the umbrella of IESM (who is already in touch with some best advocates). The affected Majors should also be made petitioners along with IESM who should also contribute towards the expenditure of legal battle.
With profound regards,
Major S K Jain (Retd)
