Many defence staff do not follow pension norms
Many ex-servicemen and their dependents suffer due to faulty Pension Payment Order.
Hyderabad: The wife of Mahavir Chakra winner late
Major Padmapani Acharya did not know that she was entitled to one-rank
one-pension. Ms Charu Latha Acharya, wife of Maj. Acharya who gave his
life in the Kargil war, was also not getting the gallantry amount of Rs
5,000 per month from 1998 as the Pension Payment Order (PPO) did not
have the qualifying service mentioned.
In another case, the 84-year-old wife of a lieutenant colonel did not know that she was entitled to get 20 per cent additional pension as she had crossed 80 years of age. It took her nearly a year to get her dues. Several defence personnel do not provide the required personal data about their spouse in the PPO. It is important to mention the year of birth to claim the benefits. Of 40,000 defence personnel from TS, 70 per cent are pensioners.
Colonel P. Ramesh Kumar, director of the TS Sainik Welfare Board, said, “With regard to Ms. Acharya, the PPO did not have the qualifying service of the late Major Acharya, who died in the 1998 Kargil war. Since then, she was not receiving the Rs 5,000 gallantry award. We had to write to the Army and the matter was referred to the Principal Controller of Defence Accounts, Allahabad, which issued a corrigendum. All this could have been avoided if the qualifying service was mentioned.” In the case of the 84-year-old, the delay in getting additional pension could have been avoided if her birth details were mentioned. “There are several cases wherein the ex-servicemen miss out on important PPO details. In the recent Adalat held in the city, 932 cases related pension were reported,” he said.
Air travel ID for unmarried daughters, sons:
Unmarried daughters of defence personnel and sons up to the age of 25 will be issued an identification card for air travel. Apart from pensioners, the spouse, too, will receive the air travel cards.
Many dependants are ignorant of the fact that unmarried daughters can avail pension if the parents are dead, while sons can remain dependent till 25 years of age and avail all pension-related services.
Colonel P. Ramesh Kumar, director, TS Sainik Welfare Board, said, “Unmarried daughters of a deceased veteran and spouse are entitled to get pension benefits if her income is less than what is entitled till she is married. To get these benefits, the dependent’s name should be endorsed while applying for pension, by registering with the Zilla Sainik Board.”
He said defence pensioners are entitled to exemption from property tax. The city is home to veterans from various wars, the Sri Lankan operation and the 1999 Kargil war.

7th Pay Commission: Good news, Pay hike confirmed, govt gives green signal
The government has given the green signal to hike the minimum pay
and fitment factor beyond the recommendation of the 7th Pay Commission.
This news would come as a major relief to all Central Government
employees who have been waiting for good news and latest updates on pay
hike.
The green signal has been given to the National Anomaly Committee which
is set to meet this month. The NAC would now take up the issue.
Minimum pay hike gets green signal:
The NAC was formed to look into the pay anomalies rising out of the
7th Pay Commission recommendations. The government had assured that the
anomalies would be looked into. Now it has given the green signal to
the NAC to go ahead with the pay raise and also the fitment factor to 3
times. This would mean that the pay would be hiked from Rs 18,000 to Rs
21,000.
Government has funds:
Officials in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and
Pensions say that the government decided to give the green signal as it
had funds. The government realises that it has the funds to increase the
pay of the CG employees. This is the reason why it gave the green
signal to the NAC to go ahead and hike the minimum pay and increase the
fitment factor to 3 times.
How much will salary hike be:
As of now, the indication is that the salary hike would be Rs
21,000. However there is no clarity of what the final amount would be.
It could be more and that would depend on the deliberations at the NAC
meet. However sources say that the amount would not be below Rs 21,000. Read more at: https://www.oneindia.com/india/7th-pay-commission-govt-gives-green-signal-to-hike-basic-pay-and-it-fitment-factor/articlecontent-pf30486-2557500.html
