Department of Pensions and Pensioners Welfare issued clarificatory orders on Revision of Pension to Pre-2006 Pensioners
Demands were raised for extending the benefit of higher pay granted by the 6th CPC from 1.1.2006 to the Pre-2006 Pensioners also for fixing the quantum of pension under 4.2 of the OM dated 1.9.2008 [as clarified from time to time] - But the demand is rejected by the Government now.
The current clarificatory Orders says that the fixation of pension will be subject to the provision that the revised pension, in no case, shall be lower than fifty percent of the minimum of the pay in the pay band plus the grade pay corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale from which the pensioner had retired. This clearly means that wherever there had been grant of higher pay scale by the 6th CPC to a particular cadre in which the pensioner had retired before 1.1.2006, then the pensioner would not be awarded.
