Sir,
This has reference to the articles on retirement by Prof Saleem Ayaz Rather and J R Aryan in Daily Excelsior sometime back. However, I would like to elaborate it further by dwelling on its two aspects which are preparation for retirement and disbursement of pensionary benefits.
A retiring employee needs No Demand Certificate, from Gazetted Officer as money amounting to Rs. 3000/- is needed to be spent on it and on the top of it, he has to run from post to pillar for months together to pursue his NDC case from his own office up to Jammu and Kashmir State Secretariate. It is a difficult process.
On the one hand, his date of retirement is coming fast near to him and on the other hand, the stands in different offices to plead his case which is an embarrassment. He is treated shabbily by the officials there. They consider the retiring employees as the helpless and pitiable creatures. Should the retiring employees not be kept stress free as far as his pensionery benefits are concerned? So it should be made mandatory for every DDO to ensure the issuance of NDC and pensionery benefits well in time. The retiring employees should not be put under stress and strain because of these document another things. DDOs may also be authorized to issue the NDC on the basis of surety Bonds duly attested by the Ist Class Magistrate. Pre-check of service book and preparation of the pension case of the retiring employee has to be got done by the concerned DDOs. Most of the DDOs do not take as much interest as they should take.
For the disbursement of pensionery benefits like GPF/SLI/Cash in lieu and other arrears there should be strict Governmental instructions and strict administrative implementation of the same.
Yours etc….
