    BASIS OF CALCULATION OF ENHANCED PENSION WITH 2 MORE YEARS OF WEIGHTAGE

    THE MUCH AWAITED ENHANCED PENSION INSTEAD OF OROP IS LIKELY TO BE  CALCULATED ON THE BASIS OF NOTIONAL PAY AS APPLICABLE TO VARIOUS RANKS IN GROUPS ACROSS THE THREE SERVICES.IT MEANS THE ACTUAL SERVIVE  ADDED BY WEIGHTAGE GIVEN TO VARIOUS RANKS INCLUDING THE TWO YEARS GIVEN NOW SHOULD BE APPLIED TO  50% OF THE NOTIONAL PAY(OROP) APPLICABLE TO RANKS IN GROUPS OF THE SERVICES.THUS IT SHOULD BE CLEAR THAT OROP IS 50 % OF THE NOTIONAL PAY AS APPLICABLE TO VARRIOUS RANKS IN GRUOPS ACROSS THE THREE SERVICES GIVEN IN CIRCULAR 471 ANNEXTURE-A. IT IS CALCULATED  AS SHOWN BELOW.


    *NP  X  WEIGHTAGE( AS SHOWN BELOW)
                      33

    LATEST WEIGHTAGE FOR RANKS( EQUVALANT RANKS OF ARMY, NAVY, AIRFORCE)

    SEPOY           = 12 YEARS + ACTUAL SERVICE

    NAIK             = 10 YEARS + ACTUAL SERVICE
    HAVILDAR   = 08 YERAS + ACTUAL SERVICE

    * (NP)THE NOTIONAL PAY IS GIVEN IN PCDA CIRCULAR NO. 471 ANNEXURE - A

    HENCE IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE INTENTION OF THE GOVERNMENT IS TO
     EQUATE PENSION ACROSS  THE  RANKS IN GROUPS OF THREE SERVICES INSTEAD OF OROP. THIS IS A WELCOME STEP BUT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED AFTER GRANTING OROP. IN OTHER WORDS OROP MEANS 50% OF THE NOTIONAL PAY, WHICH IS A GENUINE DEMAND OF VETERANS .OROP IS IN  BETWEEN THE 50% OF THE MINIMUM & MAXIMUM OF THE NOTIONAL PAY AS PER LENGTH OF SERVICE.  HENCE WE ARE STILL FAR AWAY FORM OROP.

    .

    LET US CARRY THE STRUGGLE FORWARD TILL WE ATTAIN SUCCESS

    All missing Prisoners of War (POWs) are “on duty”


    Govt of India Implements 


    Landmark Orders of 

    Gujarat High Court in 

    PIL filed by the 
    Late Lt General Jagjit Singh Aurora

    It was on 23 December 2011 that the Hon’ble Gujarat High Court rendered a landmark judgement in a Writ Petition filed by the late Lt Gen Jagjit Singh Aurora and others in the year 1999.

    Besides other reliefs that were sought, the case was filed by the late General praying that the Govt may be directed to treat all missing Prisoners of War (POWs) as “on duty” for all intents and purposes till their date of retirement. It was also prayed that the Union of India be directed to take up the issue of the missing personnel with the International Human Rights Committee.

    The High Court, through a very detailed and extensive order, which at places recorded bone chilling details on the subject alongwith all related evidence on the matter, directed the Union of India to approach the International Court of Justice in this regard and also to pay all retirement and service benefits to the kin of the missing personnel as if they had retired on superannuation.

    The detailed judgement on the writ petition which was ordered to be treated as a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), not only traced the entire length and breadth of the issue but also dealt with accounts of individual cases.

    The Ministry of Defence, though has challenged before the Supreme Court the part of the order which dealt with directions to the Govt to take up the case with the ICJ, has however implemented the other part which dealt with treating the missing personnel on duty and releasing benefits to the kin as if they (the missing personnel) remained on duty till their respective dates of retirement.

    The Defence Ministry has already forwarded the order for implementation to the Services HQ who in turn have asked the respective Record Offices to immediately take requisite steps.

    in CPI-IW for the month of July, 2012 and 2 points jump in August, 2012 giving expectation
     for DA  80% or more from January 2013.
    All India Consumer Price Index Number [http://labourbureau.nic.in/indtab.html] for Industrial
    Workers (CPI-IW) on base 2001=100 for July, 2012 showing increase in 2 points and stood at

     In view of increased LPG & Diesel price etc. we expect more monthly increase in Index and 
    similarly in future DA.  Please go through the following calculation:-

    Expected Dearness Allowance DA for Jan, 2013 calculated as under:

    Dearness Allowance = (Avg of AICPI for the past 12 months - 115.76)*100/115.76

    LIC's SPECIAL LEAVE PETITION IN SUPREME COURT.

    Supreme Court of India

    You know it. Court proceedings are many-a-time a time consuming affair. 

    LIC's Special Leave Petition against the order of the Rajasthan High Court  was last listed in the cause list of the Supreme Court for 7th February this year. It was again listed for 5th October.

    Now we have the news that the Special Leave Petition is postponed to 26th November 2012.

    The result: Pretty well an year will be over with a couple of postponements.... and who knows, when our woes will be over once for ever.
