This will be done by notional pay fixation under each intervening Pay Commission based on the formula for revision of pay. While fixing pay on notional basis, the pay fixation formulae approved by the Government and other relevant instructions on the subject in force at the relevant time shall be strictly followed. Then:

• 50% of the notional pay as on 01.01.2016 shall be the revised pension and 30% of this notional pay shall be the revised family pension w.e.f. 01.01.2016; and

4. Accordingly, all the CFTIs are requested to workout the pension/ family pension of pre-01.01.2016 faculty and non-faculty pensioners/family pensioners of CFTIs, as per the formulations discussed above read with other principles enunciated in DoP&PW's OMs of dated 12.05.2017 & 06.07.2017 and subsequent OMs dated 18.07.2017 & 13.09.2017.

5. In case of those employees who retired/died before 01.01.1986, the pension may be worked out on the lines of concordance tables given in Department of Pension and Pensioner’s Welfare OM No. 38/37/2016-P&PW(A), dated 06.07.2017 based on their notional pay as on 01.01.1986, which was fixed in accordance with DoP&PW’s OM No. 45/86/97-P&PW(D)(iii), dated 10.02.1998.

The revision of pension and pensionary benefits such as gratuity etc. are to be made applicable to only those who are covered with the schemes which are in accordance with the similar schemes for Central Government employees.

8. In case any institute has revised pension in a manner different from the above formulations, the same may have to be reworked by the concerned institute and necessary adjustments are to be made.

9. Any excess payment made on account of incorrect fixation of pension or any other excess payment made shall be adjusted/recovered against the future payments due or otherwise to the beneficiary.

Higher Basic Exemption Limits for senior citizens under income tax

Individual tax payers the basic exemption limit, up to which he is not required to pay any tax, is presently capped at Rs. 2.50 Lakhs.  However for resident senior individual citizens who have completed the age of 60 years and yet to complete 80 years  the limit is Rs. 3 lakhs. For resident individual tax payer over 80 years does not have to pay any tax up to Rs. 5 lakhs annual income.

• 2. Higher Deduction limit under Section 80D for senior citizens under income tax

  For all senior citizens deduction upto Rs. 50,000/- for health insurance premium can be claimed by themselves or their children. From current year, in case the senior citizen does not have any medical insurance, deduction upto Rs.50,000/- can be claimed for any medical expenses including day today expenses as well as for hospitalization. Earlier this benefit was available to only for the senior citizens who had completed 80 years of age.

  3. Higher Deduction Limit for interest from Banks and Post Office under Section 80TTB for senior citizens under income tax

  Upto last year a deduction upto Rs. 10,000 was available in respect of interest from saving bank account but from current year all the senior citizen can claim  deduction not only for saving bank interest but also for  interest on any deposit with post office or bank and that too upto Rs. 50,000/- in a financial year. So now from current year senior citizens will be able to claim enhanced deduction upto not only on fixed deposits but also on the deposits made under Senior Citizen Savings Scheme(SCSS). The law has also been changed to provide that the no tax deduction at source will happen for senior citizen as long as interest on all these deposits for all the branches of a bank taken together does not exceed Rs. 50,000/- in a year. While arriving at the amount of Rs. 50,000/- interest on saving bank account shall be excluded as there is no provision for tax deducting at source on it irrespective of amount credited during the year. So a senior citizen has to submit form No. 15H only if he wants to receive the interest without deduction of tax at source and such interest exceeds Rs.50,000 in  a year.

  4. Higher Deduction limit under Section 80DDB for senior citizens under income tax

  Tax laws allow the tax payers a deduction in respect of expenses incurred for medical treatment of self or dependent relatives. For general tax payers the amount of deduction available is Rs. 40,000/- but in case the expenses are incurred in respect of a senior citizen the entitlement goes to Rs. 1 lakh in a year.

  5. Exemption from Payment of advance tax tosenior citizens under income tax

  In case your tax liability after reducing the amount of TDS is more than Rs. 10,000/- in a year, you are required to pay advance tax in four installments. However senior citizens are exempted from requirement of payment of advance tax provided they  do not have any income under the head "Profits and Gains of Business or Profession". The senior citizen can discharge their tax liability at the time of filing their ITR.

Grievance Description	:	1The H’ble Prime Minister 2)The H’ble Defense Minister  Respected Sirs, We on behalf of veterans from all over India wish to thank you for implementing OROP even though partially for the time being and hope that the anomalies will be taken care off soon. At the same time we wish to bring to your kind attention regarding the serious grievances of not only veterans but also serving soldiers whom we met recently while they were on leave. The soldiers informed us that through social media they came to know; there is a proposal to increase of Military Service Pay to JCOs equal to MNS and ORs will be paid half of the amount only. Their curiosity in sharing the news disappointment were beyond any expression. They have openly expressed their discontentment towards the attitude of their higher bosses in denying justice to PBOR on two main issues. Hard living area allowance and Military Service Pay DISPARITY which they expressed as INJUSTICE when all are serving for the same country belongs to the same country. The above two major issues beyond any doubts have psychologically affected the morale of JCOs and ORs. Denial to all was better than reduction of morale of a large section. It was a British Raj policy to grant few additional coins to bosses to suppress the large section in an establishment. In the course of their selfish motive, our top bosses have forgotten the pledge they have taken “I will look after the interest of all those are placed below me above my own interest” Sirs, you have been to their places and seen the conditions of soldiers mainly ORs who are more exposed to risk due to adverse climatic conditions, insurgency, terrorist operations enemy fire. A soldier is doing duty in the open whether it is plus 50 degree or minus 50 degree climate while his boss is controlling from shelter. Our soldiers have proved their efficiency and valor all the times in repulsing the enemy attack on our boarders engaging the Pak terrorists which your good self also has openly appreciated many times through Media and in public meetings. But with above mentioned apathy towards the lower Ranks which constitute the large section of the Armed forces, we along with them feel as a great Injustice done not only to the serving soldiers but also to those who have undergone these situations while in service. Respected sirs, we wish to openly request to kindly look into this serious matter because the serving soldier cannot raise their voice since they are trained to be disciplined. But do not forget the fact that they also have families to be looked after like their bosses and one can dedicate with full concentration only when he feels that his family is safe in the hands of nation if life is to be sacrificed for defending the nation. The above two major issues have psychologically affected the morale of JCOs and Ors of the Armed forces. Hence I request your honor that Military Service Pay and Hard Living area allowance may be paid equal to all the personnel irrespective of Ranks due to the very principle that bullet fired by enemy adverse climate do not differentiate between men and officers. All are affected equally and not according to the pay they receive. We do hope that your good office will interfere in this matter and give Justice to all soldiers including officers, JCO’S OR’S. Thanking you. Yours Faithfully,  MBC MENON CHAIRMAN  NATIONAL FEDERATION OF EX-SERVICEMEN
