Para 3.3: Full Pension is now allowed for 10 years of service of qualifying
service. For Grameen Dak Sewa Employees in Department of Posts who retired in
Tamilnadu, it was decided by the Hon’ble Supreme Court to extend the benefit of
pension taking short fall period of qualifying service from the regular service,
if any, put in by the petitioner earlier while coming on promotion to
departmental status. This benefit may be extended by the 7th CPC to all such employees
as explained in para 8.2
Para 3.17: The NDA Govt. allowed 50% of DA merged into Pay called DP and
merged in Last Drawn Emoluments under FR 33 for fixation of basic pension. The
6th CPC diluted this and those who retired between 1.2.2004 and
1.1.2005 may be shown some dispensation while refixing the revised consolidated
pension, this was not honoured. All such pensioner should also be given
notional fixation as the DP once merged into Emoluments cannot be truncated.
Para 5.3: For eligibility of family pension, family members under sub-para
(iii) should also include – Widowed / Divorced Daughters-in-Law who are
actually dependent upon the pensioner equally along with a Daughter to avoid
discrimination in the same gender AND ALSO to help those dependents whose
parents are not Pensioners and not holding any Vocation to get the minimum family
pension.
Para 5(f) to add: Grant of Certain Percentage of Pension / Family Pension in favour
of physically and mentally disabled children who are eligible for family
pension according to their turn till the parents cease to support towards
hostel subsidy or conveyance charges. Severe disabled children/adults are to be
admitted for their Care/Welfare in reputed Welfare & Rehabilitation
Institutions at a considerable amount of fees towards lodging and boarding also.
This is necessary till they get family pension according to their turn and to
mitigate the existing economical hardship of such parents who are undergoing
miseries.
Para 7.6 to add: Still there are 33 Postal Dispensaries to merge in the nearby CGHS
head quarters. There will not be any administrative difficulty when the GOI is
having Information Technology with e-Governance. The proposal for upgrading the
Dispensary at Visakhapatnam is kept hanging in air since so many years even
though the proposal was taken up in SCOVA and through local Hon’ble MP. The
pensioners are suffering from the denial of Indoor Medical Treatment facility
as explained in the knowledge of CS (MA) Rules 1944 (framed in
Pre-Independence).
Para 8.7 to add: At present 20 years of qualifying service is needed for Voluntary
Retirement. With the reduction of maximum 33 years of qualifying service, the
same may be reduced to 13 years proportionately. EPS-1995 Pensioners
Superannuate at the age of 58 years and/or also who has rendered pensionable
service of 20 years of pensionable service or more, their pensionable service
shall be increased by adding a weightage of 2 years under Section 10(2) of EPS
Act, 1995.
Para 8.11 Pension Adalats: The present stipulation permitting the
Pensioners Associations to take up and assist only those pensioners / family
pensioners who are illiterates etc. should be withdrawn by the Pension
Ministry.
