I have raised a grievance in anomaly of pension fixation in 2013. This has been restored in October 2022. Will I get interest on late payments.
But unfortunately, concerned authority on receipt of grievances, aggrieved person advised that the case is initiated and benifits will be extended. In the reply, no timeline is given and item closed. Only administration knows the likely finalisation of issue or not. Fruitless excercise.
Even appeal met with same fate.
Many employees who have completed 10/20/30 years of QS, are required to be extended 1st/2nd/3rd financial Upgradation. But in many cases, such issue not examined at the time of varification of service sheet by executive/accounts resulting in to less pensionary benifits and frequent back references and CPGRAM reference. Instructions on forming screening committee for MACP not convened and caused abnormal delay.
Good
