  1. For those retiring between 1-1-2006 and 1-9-2008,the benefit of pension calculation based on emoluments last drawn has been denied. para 5.2. and 5.3 of O.M. dated 2-9-2008 for post 1-1-2006 is made applicable prospectively. For thos retired within 10 months from 1-1-2006, the 10 months average pay include pre-revised pay also without any grade pay or fitment benefit(Para 11 of O.M.),resulting in substantial loss in monthly pension plus D.A. thereon for life. This anomaly should be rectified, and those retired between 1-1-2006 and 1-9-2008 should be allowed to get the pension based on emoluments last drawn and length of service instead of average emoluments and leength of service.

  3. Sir, K/s Demand 16 regarding date of increment. What is the need for iniform increment date?. Why don't we ask the govt to scrap this uniform increment system and allow increment in all the 12 months depending on the service of the individual, as earlier.

    What is the position in Uniform increment system for the following cases:
    01. Will minimum punishement be postponing of increment for one year for any small errors, hereafter?.
    02. what is the position on Postponing of increment date, in case of EXOL w/o MC.

    Thank U.

  5. Dear Comrade Ramana Murty - Greetings - Yes you are right and as i read deeply the order again it has been clear that the effect of para 5.2 and 5.3 has not been extended to those who are already retired between 1.1.2006 and before the date of issue of this OM - This is an anolamy and has to be taken up with the Government - Thanks for pointing it out - Regards.

  6. Dear Comrade Kanivel - Greetings - The uniform date of increment is the brain child of the Pay Commission to fecilitate computation of expenditure and to assess the performance of one year to decide on the grant of increased quantum of PR increment - a measure to link everything with the annual performance of employees - Even now such a performance linked increment is provided for to Group A officers but not extended to employees due to our opposition to performace linked increment - that is why they increased it to 3% but not linking it with performance. This is the reason for a uniform date of increment. As per your question No.1 about the impact of punishment imposed for postponing the increment, the position is that it will have the same effect as of now. On completion of the period of punishment the postponed increment will be paid immediately. Regarding your question No.2 about the effect of EXOL without MC, the result is that the number of days of EXOL without MC would be added to 1st July and even then if it falls within July then the increment also would be paid from 1st July itself; if the number of days of EXOL is more and after adding it to 1st July takes the date to next month then the increment will be paid on 1st August like that. I hope this would clear your doubts.
