“Pensioners set to
pay dirt after Delhi HC order”

It is rather unfortunate that an Incorrect
interpretation of Delhi High Court judgment in
writ petition No. 1535 of 2012 (decided on 29.4.2013) has been reported by Mail Today dated 06.05.2013(page 9)under
the heading “Pensioners set to pay dirt
after Delhi HC order”
Unknowing the fact that the entire
judgment is about ‘what should be the
minimum pension/family pension for each
corresponding pre 2006 scale after implementation of 6th CPC. your popular News Paper has written that pension of CG & State Govt; pensioners
will almost double-This is totally in
correct my dear editor ! ‘Bharat Pensioners Samaj’ resents this totally
incorrect projection. Except the lucky those (Director & above level) who
have been placed in Pay Band 4 in all other scales below that it will marginally
raise the Pension/Family pension of only 5 to 7% of pensioners /family
pensioners. In fact 6th CPC too
after merging Dearness relief as
on 31.12 2005 added only 40% of their
existing pension .
Your reporting has only deepened
the wounds of this neglected section of C.G./State Govt. Pensioners &
family pensioners.
