Dear Comrades!
Sub: Brief of the meeting held under the Chairmanship of Secretary (Pension), Government of India on 06.10.2016, to discuss 7th CPC recommendation for revision of pension of pre-2016 pensioners
In the meeting, referred to above, the Official Side expressed doubt to have details of service particulars, i.e. date of promotion and subsequent increment etc., specially pre- 01.01.2006 retirees. As such, it may not be feasible to fix-up pension, taking into account of increment received in the post from which one has retired from service.
As per opinion of the Secretary (Pension), “if recommendation No.1 is accepted, Service Record of certain persons may not be located. This will lead to number of litigation. However, we have produced certain pension dockets wherein all these things are available (where calculation of Qualifying Service was undertaken) and such option should be left with individual pensioner as per ones advantage.
The Official Side lastly suggested that, parity in pension, as was granted after the recommendation of V CPC, w.e.f. 01.01.1996, may be adopted for determining the method(notional) of all pre-01.01.2016 pensioners.
Next meeting in this regard will be held at 10:00 hrs. on 13th October, 2016.
Further, the matter of National Pension System(NPS) will be referred to a separate
committee. We have impressed upon the Secretary(Pension) that, four months time is running out. As such, decision on revision of pension of pre-01.01.2016 retirees and the matter of the NPS should be decided without any further loss of time.
Meeting on Allowances, which was slated to be held on 13th October, 2016, has been postponed to 25th October, 2016.
Comradely yours,

MURALI SOMAYAJULA says
Non availablility of Records is a bluff and excuse to avoid 7th PCR. Normally each pensioner would be taking a copy of service register for his record and reference. PAY & ACCOUNTS OFFICER Cconcerned (Pension Sanctioning Authority) would have the pensioer’s record in his office as he is the auhority to fix the pension. Moreover full records would be available with CCPAO, New Delhi or the concerned banks. These could be obtained and pension could be fixed.
2) One of the most urgent requirement is medical aid to Pensioners. Pensioners living in CGHS areas are the only persons getting the free medical facility. The rest living in all over India, in non-CGHS are deprived of the medical faciity except FMA of Rs.500/- PM for the entire family’s treatment per month which is a pea-nut when examined with the practical position prevailing in the country.Hence the only alternative is to approve and empanel the PRIVATE CORPORATE MULTI SPECIALITY HOSPIALS for giving indoor and outdoor treatment. This may kindly be seriously discussed in the next meeting and this may be impressed.upon. They may say that without CGHS dispensary (wellness center) at least in those areas, it is not possible to approve the private hospitals. A poliy decision has already taken to start CGHS Wellness Center in each town, which may be implemented and then simultaneously the private corporate hospitals may be empanelled.
