GOI WANTS TO BUY TIME TILL GENERAL ELECTION

Respected elders,
 Reports from ministry of finance & department of pension indicates that the GOI wants to buy time by filing another SLP in supreme court against pre-2006 pensioners .The main contention of the SLP is  on the the inability of the GOI to implement the court order due to huge financial implication. The GOI is learn t to have obtained legal opinion for the same.Their main aim of this move is to buy time till the the govt machinery is put on election mode by election commission. When the contempt petition is expected to come up for hearing in CAT PB on 25/09/2013, they are likely to  repeat the above excuse. All the pensioners associations are requested to rise to the occasion & thwart this move of the GOI.Here it is worthwhile  to mention that lakes of cores of rupees can be lost on scams like coal gate ,chopper gate& 2G  but alas.......GOI has no money for paying  few hundreds of cores of rupees to pre-2006 pensioners as ordered by court.

INJUSTICE DONE TO MIDDLE RANK PBOR IN DEFENCE FORCES BY 6th CPC

Sergeants(group-x) in IAF, petty officers  in NAVY & havildars in ARMY who were placed in the 5000 scale by 5th CPC was placed in the PB-1 scale by 6TH CPC and the government did not  intervened to improve it as done in case of HAG scale of central govt employees. All central govt employees except defence forces who where placed in the basic scale of 5000 by 5th CPC was brought in to PB-2 .This is a clear case of discrimination against the middle ranks in the PBOR of defence forces and this anomaly is to rectified.
