COMMENTS
1.Good to know the repeated opportunity Canvass for the option exercise for their benefit. Can
be made automatic to those beneficiers and they may be adviced accordingly and save time &
money in time. The CPC is automatic to all.

admin in 2005 (10yrs to process) and the finance discouraged on financial grounds(!?) to the
Board for orders. On repeated appeals and discussions it was again considered and recommended
as the only case in 1999 (another 5 years to process) and now the Board responded as NO SCOPE

3. I retired in May 2010 and is appealing for justice till now. An pXL sheet was also prepared

4. This further affected my settlement, pension from June 2010 and in 7CPC pension benefits. 5. The total loss is is about 5+ lakhs so far. in addition to my appeals and personal visits to
the Board by about one lakh.
6. Will it be looked in and paid with applicable interest as per rules on my repeated appeals?
7. Is there any one to look at it?
