Dear Friend,
Here is yet another amendment to the pension letter initially issued on the 11 Nov 2008. Through this the pension of the general officers has been stepped up, by granting them the benefit of MSP. Quite frankly, it is difficult to fathom why it took 70 days for the government to discover this anomaly. Administration is said to be the strong point of our civil servants. They have no other job!
I do wish some one would tell us why they are confusing the pension disbursement organization in this manner.
