COMMENTS
As per MoD letter dated 6/2/2019 JCOs granted HCO rank of Lt and Capt who retired on or after 1/1/2006 authoried to get the revised pension arrears for interim period from jan 2006 to 23/9/2012 only with admissible retirement benefits. It is not for others.
Though notional pay fixation for JCOs granted honorary rank of Lts/Capts has been made effective from 2.1.2006 for post 2.1.2006 retirees. The financial benefit has been given only from Date of discharge. It maybe noted that Hony Lt/Capts and equivalents rank are granted every year on 15 Aug/26 Jan and serve in that rank for a varying period of 6 to 187 days till attaining the age of superannuation. The benefit of notional pay should be given to all upon their promotion to HCOs ranks.
Could anyone help in this regards.
