Release pension arrears
Sir,
The State Govt. as per
Govt. order No. 58-F dt. 5-2-1998 had to release the 5th
CPC pay arrears in three equal annual instalments
inclusive of house rent from April, 1998, April 1999 and
April 2000 in cash. Against it, the State Govt. released
one instalment in cash and released 2nd instalment vide
Govt. order No. 12-F dt. 2-2-2000 was impounded in the G
P Fund account of employees and the 3rd instalment due in
April 2000 has not been released so far.
Similarly as per para 2 of
Govt. order. No. 127-F of 1998 dt. 16-4-98 the 5th CPC
pension, family arrears were payable in the instalments.
Although, first instalment of pension, family pension
arrears was paid in cash and where arrears were exceeding
Rs. 5000/- 50 percent balance arrears was also included
and paid in the Ist instalment. As regard balance arrears
these were to be paid in 2nd instalment.
The Central Govt. released
one percent DA due from 1.1.2000 and 3 percent due from
7/2000 was also released in time. Although all other
States of Union of India including Delhi have also
released the same to its employees and pensioners/family
pensioners but J&K State Govt. have not released not
the 2nd instalment due from 7/2000 so far despite
repeated requests. Not only this, Central Govt. order No
45/10/98- P & PW (A) dt. 17.12.98 which provides 50
percent pension and 30 percent family pension of the
minimum of revised pay scale of the post held by a
retiree at the time of retirement, has been made
applicable by all others States w.e.f 1.1.1996 but the
J&K State is the only State which has not made the
ibid scheme/order applicable to the State pensioner,
family pensioner despite promises at various occasions
and in meeting at Secretariat level.
Such dilly dallying spree
in releasing and paying pension dues to the pensioner,
family pensioners retiree pre 1.4.1987 and others is an
injustice to them particularly during these hard day of
economic depression when every well to do is feeling,
facing financial striggency.
As regard updating and
consolidation of pension of retiree on or after 31-3-85
to 1986 they were paid the only relief provided in para
(b) of Govt. order No. 93-F dated 1.4.1998 effective from
1.4.87 as per incomplete ready reckoner. As 10 percent
Addl. relief on existing pension and D A subject to
minimum of Rs. 50/- and maximum of Rs. 100/- i.e. Rs.
164/- which has not been allowed to them the afore after
deducting Rs. 164/- from total relief of Rs. 325/- as
provided in para (e) of ibid order the balance of Rs.
(325-164) Rs. 161/- was payable to the ibid period
retirees by adding the same in their 50 percent pension
to be raised on one month average pay emoluments.
Either fix pension at Rs.
636/- on (WEF) 1.8.86 on old slab system to be
re-calculated in term of SRO-586 dated 23.10.1979
operative from 1.4.79 to 31.3.87 on the basis of one
month average emoluments of Rs. 1446/- accompanied the
pension case @ Rs. 701/- or as laid down in para (b) of
Govt. order No 93-F dt. 1.4.88 effective from 1.4.87 the
pension to be re-calculated at 50 Percent on one month
average emoluments as mentioned above. Therefore the
pension to be re-calculated correctly in light of
sub-paras (C-1) (C-11) and (C-III) of para (C) of the
order.
It may be added that the
position was brought to the notice of treasury officer
Addl. Treasury Old Sectt. Jammu to update the pension
consolidated, vide last letter No. 38/PF/98/99 dt.
14.8.2000 but nothing has been done by the dealing Asstt.
so far. As the concerned pensioner of the ibid category
are in recurring monthly financial loss for non updation
of their pension in the above manner therefore the
Director Codes J&K Finance Deptt. is requested again
in continuation of written request vide No. AJKTA/94/2000
dt. 14.11.2000 to issue necessary instruction to the
Treasury office, Addl. Treasury Old Sectt. Jammu to
up-date/consolidate the pension correctly without further
delay
Yours etc...
