As a sequel to my post in the pensioner blogs, some anxious phone call
was received by me from one of the octogenarian pensioners urging me
not to advocate any legal step on the wrong date taken by LIC till the
payment is received by the eligible pensioners.
My purpose in
highlighting the misinterpretation of the DHC judgment was to expose
such action of LIC before the Supreme Court and not to stop the payment
of arrears.I will be the last person to come in the way of pensioners
receiving some benefits that may be received from the Corporation.
My
only suggestion to the pensioners who will be receiving the arrears is
to write to LIC after receiving arrears that they have received the
amount under protest as they were entitled to get arrears from
18/12/1998 and not from 29/1/2007 only.Such a letter should go on record
so that the issue can be highlighted in SC in our favour on and after
11/10/2018.
The arrears that pre-April 1993 retirees in Class I
cadre will get will be about 77% of the arrears due to them from
18/12/1998.The post April 1993-pre August 1997 retirees will get about
81% of the arrears due from 18/12/1998.This difference itself is
sufficient to highlight the DR anomaly prevailing for pre-August 1997
retirees and even between Para 1 & Para 2 pensioners.Para 1
pensioners are worse losers than para 2 pensioners.
The interest payable will come to about 9.8% of the total DR arrears for both groups.
Greetings.
