The orders for implementation of the decision taken by the Government on the recommendations of 6th CPC for revision for pension of past pensioners were issued vide this Department’s OM No.38/37/08-P&PW (A) dated 1.9.2008. The provisions of Para 4.2 of this OM were clarified vide this Department’s letter dated 3.10.2008.
The Central Administrative Tribunal, Principal Bench, New Delhi in its order dated 1.11.2011 observed that by the OM dated 3.10.2008 the original orders of 1.9.2008 have been modified. Hon’ble CAT directed that the past pensioners may be granted, w.e.f. 1.1.2006, a minimum pension @ 50% of the minimum pay corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale with reference to the fitment table applicable for revision of pay of serving employees.
A Writ Petition was filed in the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi challenging the above mentioned order. In its order dated 29.4.2013, the Hon’ble Delhi High Court has upheld the order dated 1.11.2011. After considering the order of Hon’ble High Court of Delhi and various representations received in this regard, Special Leave Petition was filed by the Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India.

COMMENTS
Sir, I retired from Army on 01/09/2006 as Hony Lt in active service and my pension was fixed Rs 13500/- pm from my date of retirement. The same was revised to Rs 15465/- pm wef 24/09/2012 due to anomaly noticed in 6th PC. However, SC in its verdict ruled that the anomaly notices at later date in 6th PC to be paid from 01/01/2006 on case filed by pre 01/01/2006 retirees. The same has been implemented for the pre 01/01/2006 and post 01/01/2006 retirees have been left in lurk. On approaching PCDA pension Allahabad they replied that they have not received the instr to pay the arrears to post 01/01/2006 retirees and which is an injustice to post 01/01/2006 retirees and now created an anomaly for them. Post 01/01/2006 retirees are also entitled for revision of their pension from their date of retirement to 23/09/2016 as per SC verdict. Govt should pay attention to resolve this problem to avoid rushing the post 01/01/2006 retirees to The Court to get justice done to them.
Science=reason to believe.Hence we believe things that are reasonable and scientific in the present era.

Why not exact as per new pay scale uniformly applicable to all pensioners irrespective of date of retirement considering the group or trade , rank last held & length of service.They are again upto playing dirty tricks.

As per Supreme court verdict, that arrears to be paid wef 01-01-2006 to all the pensioners. The banks need DOP&T/ Govt instructions in this regards to fix pension wef 1.1.2006 and to give arrears of their pension from the date of their retirement before 2006. Kindly expedite DOP&T and get the letter issued to all concerned for fixation and release of pension to pensioners. This will be a great financial help to pensioners.
With best regards.

Since CDA(P) Allahabad has issued corrigendum PPO of the post 2006 retirees pensioners also for the pension increased wef 24-09-2012. We would like to know that as per latest Supereme court verdict, that arrears to be paid wef 01-01-2006 to all the pensioners. Are are post 2006 pensioners eligible to get the arrears of their pension from the date of their retirement after 01-01-2006. Kindly clarify.
What action the Government of India has taken to pay the arrears to the pre-2006 pensioners after the the Special Leave Petition by the Government of India was dismissed by the Honourable Supreme Courts on July 29, 2013 ? What is the justification by referring an OM No. 38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated September 01, 2008.
The verdict to implement the benefit of Pension to pre-2006 pensioners according to the 6th Pay commission was issued by the Central Administrative Tribunal on November 01, 2011.A Special Leave Petition was filed by the Government of India in the Honourable Supreme Courts and . But it was dismissed July 29, 2013.
Accordingly the Government is bound to issue fresh Orders with clear instructions without using the English words with double meaning immediately, to benefit the Lakhs of Pensioners who are spending their end period of their lives. Let the Government not to make tactics to delay the benefits by giving vague reply to straight questions in the Parliament.
Hope Mr. Narayanaswamy will come to senses and do the needful.
Jai Hind
With best regards

ALL PENSIONERS MUST KNOW THAT THEIR IS A BLUE BOOKS IN ALL PENSIONERS OFFICE.BANK CANNOT GIVE PENSION IN THEIR OWN DIRECTION IF GOVT.CANNOT SEND PAY ORDERS THROUGH THEIR OFFICE TO THE BANK WHETHER THE PENSIONERS ARE LIVING OR DEAD.
Sir, the GOD is in our favour.The government is being put to losses due to pensioner's pension being refused. If the government hurt them by Rs.10/= it is put to loss at least by a lac times.The painful suffering of Pre= 1986 wounded and Family Pensioners cannot be tolerated by any soul what to speak of ALMIGHTY. It is in action but not being realised by the AUTHORITIES. It is very painful and not worth mentioning. GOD may look after Prnsioners/ Family Pensioners. Regards.
