REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION

Dear Shri Bargavan,

I thank you for your mail, which was delivered to my spam and i saw it just now as I was going to delete the mails in my spam folder.

I note carefully what you wrote.

I am extremely sorry to note that your father-in -law a retired pensioner of LIC died on  27.01.2017. I send my condolences.

Perhaps you know a Court case for Dearness anomaly for pre -8/97 retirees  and updation of pension on each wage revision was being fought in the Supreme Court of India and later in High Court of Delhi.

The Supreme Court of India vide their order dated 31.03.2017 had ordered payment of 40% Interim Relief to all the pre-8/1997 retirees. Accordingly, your father-in-law might had been paid the said amount by LIC in May, 2016.

The DHC vide its order dated 27.04.2017 had rejected the demand of updation of pension with each wage revision and partly allowed the writ of Dearness Relief to those pensioners who retired between  01.01.1986 & 31.03.1993 drawing Basic pension of more than Rs 2130 and to those pensioners who retired between 01.04.1993 & 31.07.1997 with basic pension of above Rs 3850 and ordered the LIC to pay the same from the date of  the first writ filed within one year from the date of receipt of the copy of the Judgment. However the Court had ordered that the payment of 40% IR made would not be refunded or returned to the Corporation. 

The payment as per DHC order upto the date of death of the pensioner would be made as per DHC order by LIC to the nominee.

with regards,

rksahni
