RECOVERY OF EXCESS PAYMENT OF PENSION BY PDAs

                **ALL PENSIONERS MUST MAKE A NOTE OF THIS POST**        

           Many cases have come to light where the Banks have made recoveries in one go on their own without any intimation to the pensioners or without their concurrence on the Excess Pension Payments made erroneously by their staff.

Such recoveries if made in bulk are illegal and against the instructions issued by the RBI and Govt of India.

(SUCH A DIFFICULT SITUATION IS AVOIDABLE IN CASE THE PENSIONERS KNOW THEIR PENSION ENTITLEMENTS FORM TIME TO TIME.  WE HAVE ENDEAVOURED IN OUR BLOG SITE TO GIVE OUT DETAILS OF THE ENTITLEMENTS OF ALL RANKS OF THE ARMED FORCES.)

The legal position on the case of recoveries of excess pension remitted by banks to pensioners is as follows:-

ENDORSEMENT OF DOB OF SPOUSE IN PPO

    ENDORSEMENT OF  DATE OF BIRTH AND NAME  IN PPO OF YOUR SPOUSE AS FAMILY PENSIONER

   The PPOs issued before 1990 did not have the name of the spouse mentioned as the family pensioner after the demise of the pensioner. It was a problem to have  the family pension commenced and took many months in the procedure.  However,  post 1990 the PCDA began showing only the name of the spouse in the PPOs so that the family pension can begin without a break on the demise of the pensioner.
        On implementation of the recommendations of 6 CPC on enhancement of pension on being Super Sr Ctz was sanctioned for the Family Pension also at par with the pensioners i.e on attaining the age of 80, 85, 90, 95 and 100 yrs.

OROP SCHEME 2016 - ISSUES NOT ADDRESSED

           Govt has implemented the OROP Scheme as per their notification despite the Jantar Mantar Agitation. We do hope that the agitation will succeed to achieve its stand. However the Govt is likely to take itsd that it has already instituted one man Judicial Committee under Justice Reddy to study the  demands. 

         While all efforts continue,  there is also need to prepare our list of issues, anomalies and what must be corrected by the Govt on OROP. We thus will like to take a step in this dirction by requesting our readers to kindly put in their bit under the comments to this post what they feel must be added, amended or modified in the scheme, in other words your wish list of issues.

          We will have the same refined by the experts and pass on to the concerned organisation, which will take up the issues with justice Reddy.

The circular gives comprehensive instructions to the PDAs to check the rank groups qualifying service of the pensioners from their PPOs and then pay as per the relevant tables as explained there.

QUALIFYING SERVICE (QS)

It is therefore important that you must check the same in your PPOs for correctness as per your Records of Service.
