YOUR VOICE

Dear Shri Sahniji
Namaskar

                          First of all, let me introduce myself . Sir, I am ABDUL AZIZ RAWANI, resident of RAIPUR ( CHHATTISGARH). I retired from STC, LIC, Raipur  as a Faculty member in the Cadre of DM.  I know you as  PENSIONER's VOICE and SOUND TRACK Editor. I got your E-mail id from this Forum only.

                         I have been  regularly visiting your above FORUM since last few days and I appreciate your Devotion  , Promptness , Accuracy and Way of Presenting in the FORUM  and your  involvement and Hard Labour for nice Editing. I am particularly impressed with your "Pension Anomaly Chart as on  31/01/2016 Post Wage Revision in LIC ", prepared in Excel Sheet . Sahniji, you are doing a very Good Job for the Benefit of Our Retired community, for which you deserve due appreciation from all of us.  

                        Dear Sahniji, please don't mind, I am giving you some trouble. I am confident that  you are the proper person to guide me for correct way of Calculating and arriving at my Basic Pension. In fact, there is a matter of  interpretation of Pension Rules involved in it, which, as an Expert in dealing such matters, you  must be able to interpret. Moreover, it will give rise to huge financial loss, if not interpreted properly by the concerned official, while fixing Basic Pension of a person falling under such a Group like mine. In fact, till now, no Arrears have been paid in our Division to any Post 01/08/2012 Retirees and as informed  by Divisional   Office,they have referred to Zonal Office. 

                Sahni   Sir,   As per Pension rules, Last 10 Months Average Pay has to be calculated. I retired on 31/01/2013. As such, I have to take into account my Basic pay and FPA from April 2012 to January 2013.

                              Here, I may add that my Basic in the DM's Cadre was fixed in the Maximum of the Scale on 14/06/2006 i.e from the date of my taking over as  DM, because I had already drawn all the Stagnation Increments in the Cadre of ADM. Again  Since, I reached Maximum of DM 's Scale   FPA was continued to be paid to me  even after promotion, which I was drawing in ADM's cadre also at AO 's applicable rate, because of my Cadre being AO's  as on 01/11/1993. In nutshell I want to say there is no change in my Basic and FPA in the pre-revised Scale for the Last Ten Months prior to date of  my retirement.   

                              Sir, the period of Ten Months prior to Retirement  falls in Two Categories. First Four months period  falls under pre-revised regime and Last Six Months fall under the regime of Revised Pay Scales. Now, if we proceed to take the Average on the basis of Old and New, there will be huge difference in Calculation of Basic Pension. Earlier, while basic pension was calculated on my Retirement Date based on pre revised scales, Last Month's Basic+ FPA was exactly equal to Average of Basic+FPA for last Ten Months.

                                 Kindly have a look and let me know what should be the correct Interpretation. I am sure the Revision of Pay Scales are done not to penalize and in fact in revision is mainly Merger of Basic and DA and Fixation of Salary is done on the Basis of Basic as on the date of Revision and for calculation of Basic Pension taking old Basic for some period will amount to heavy Reduction of Basic Pension,so arrived at , when compared to Basic Pension  calculated on the basis of last Month's Figure alone . This reduced Figure of basic pension, so arrived at will affect a lot, while calculating Commuted Value.    

                                   I think you have followed me what I want to convey. If , you desire I can furnish exact Salary particulars  to you. I know, you must be busy now a days. Please take your time to study this matter, because it is going to affect all, who retired after 01/08/2012 before completing Ten Month's period i.e between  01/08/2012 to 31/05/2013. I do not know whether there is a clarification from CO on this matter, which is going to create another ANOMALY, if not properly interpreted and Idon't find any Logic behind taking TEN MONTH's Average  for this purpose.

                                I would be happy to know more about you .

Thanks

Yours Faithfully
