Ground of
Retirement:-
On 04/02/1991 while as instructor,
conducting demo to new recruits as training on use of general service
explosives, lost both eyes and left hand due to sudden accidental premature
explosion. Later Medically boarded out me by a BSF Board of Officers on
03/05/1092.
10.
Percentage
of disability :- 100% (loss of both eyes and left hand)
11.
Start of
Disability Pension :- 04/05/1992
12.
Emoluments
for Pension :- Rs. 1240/-
13.
Disability
Pension Sanctioned:- Rs. 750/-pm. (IV CPC) under EOP Rules 1939
(B)
GRIEVANCES
i)
Due to
accidental explosion on training duty, I have sustained grievous
injuries/disability. My present physical conditions are as under.
a)
100%
Disabled. Certificate issued by STC BSF Baikunthpur is attached. (My photo is
attached)
b)
Both eyes
lost. Completely blind.
c)
Left hand
lost. Totally disabled.
ii)
Thus, I am
100% disabled while on duty as cited above. I am completely blind/disabled and
wholly dependant on somebody from day to day functions/survival.
iii)
I have
been sanctioned Disability Pension @ Rs. 750/-pm. Wef: 04/05/1992 based on then
basic pay Rs. 1240/-.
But, I have not been granted
invalid Pension under Rule:- 38 of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972. Thus, I have been
deprived of this additional Invalid Pension since 04/05/1992 (original Date of
Medical Boarded out Pension). My departmental BSF (Head of Office-STC BSF North
Bengal, Baikunthpur, Siliguri was not aware of entitlement of such double
Pensions i.e. Disability Pension and Invalid Pension, in case of 100%
Disability due to injuries while on duty. Otherwise, BSF would have granted suo
motu these entitlements to me in 1992 itself. In around 2016, I came to know
about this, from our BSF Ex-Servicemen Welfare Association, Salugara, Siliguri
(WB), and I applied for same. But our PAO BSF, New Delhi did not reply for
same.
iv)
Here,
there are several 100% disabled BSF/CAPF Pensioners who are getting both two
Pensions i.e.(i) Disability Pension u/r EOP Rules, 1939 and (2) Invalid Pension
u/r 38 of CCS (Pension) Rules 1972. But it is picquant, I am left out. Reasons
for non-response by PAO BSF, New Delhi is beyond my comprehension.
v)
From
Welfare point of view, 100% disabled Pensioners must be provided such welfare
measures on top priority and also needs to be brought to notice of all serving
personnel, as this has a direct bearing on morale.
(C)
AUTHORITY
OF BOTH PENSIONS
1.
Para-3 of
Schedule-II (See Rule 9 (2) of CCS(EOP) Rules, 1939 (Copy attached).
2.
Rule-38 of
CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 (Copy attached).
