MAJORs PRE-1996 - LT COL's PENSION

LT COL's PENSIONS TO  PRE 1996 MAJORS WITH MORE THAN 21 YRS OF  ”COMMISSIONED SERVICE” .

     With effect from  1984 cadre review, one became substantive Major with 11 years of service against 13 years earlier and Substantive  Lt Col (TS)  on completion of 21 years of service. Subsequently in 1996 on implementation of the  5^th CPC the grant of Lt Col's scale of pension with Major's rank pay to Majors who had completed 20 (20) years of commissioned service was brought in. This was not implemented or was approved but not published like the case of subversion of rank pay,  post 4th cpc. Anyhow some officers of the navy and Indian air force had gone to AFT and obtained a favourable order for such scale of pay for themselves.

ITR FILING FOR THE DECEASED TAX PAYER

FILING OF INCOME TAX RETURN OF THE DECEASED PERSON

 In the eventuality of the death of a TAX PAYER his/her last return is required to be filed by the legal heir after getting him/her self registered on the Income Tax Efiling site. The responsibility of payment of tax rests with the legal heir. There have been cases where the IT Dept has raised demand after three to four years from the Family pensioner. We had earlier covered this aspect in detail at, http://signals-parivaar.blogspot.com/2015/12/income-tax-return-of-deceased-very.html please do read the nitty gritties and why and buts of the same.

   It is therefore necessary to file his/her last return. The method is not complicated and is described below in the succeeding paragraphs.

AGIF - EXTORTION CALLS BY FRAUDSTERS

**BEWARE FRAUDSTERS ARE OUT TO EXTORT MONEY FROM PENSIONERS IN THE NAME OF ARMY  GROUP INSURANCE FUND.

FILING OF REVISED ITRs

FILING OF REVISED RETURNS OF EARLIER YEAR (FIN YEAR 2015-16)

      In continuation of our endeavour in guiding and helping veterans through our web posts on Filing of Income Tax Returns and claiming rebate on the old arrears received during the Fin Year, we bring in a happy news for those veterans who missed out the Rebate in their last years return (FY 2015-16). There were large amount of arrears (Around Rs 4 Lakhs) we received during the said Financial Year, and high rebates amounting to Rs 10000 to 60000/- accrued for  veterans who took care to work with our "DO IT YOURSELF SOLUTIONS' giving you Primary School simple methods. 

         In case you did not claim the rebate and paid high income tax for the Fin Year -  2015-16  on pension and arrears received, which actually pertained to earlier years when the tax rates were low and our earnings small, here is a chance for you to correct your mistake committed out of ignorance of rules or lethargy.

MAJ GENs - REVISION OF PENSION - 6 CPC (Gen VAINS CASE)

REVISION OF PENSION FOR ALL PRE-2006 MAJOR GENERALS.

(Implementation of Honourable Supreme Court judgment in Maj Gen VAINS and others Case)

    Govt of india had to finally accept implementation of the above Judgment for all Maj Gens (Letter  - CLICK TO OPEN ) . It means that on 01 Jan 2006 their last drawn pay would have to be re-fixed as if for 6th CPC in line with serving Maj Gens who are similarly placed in Years of Service in Rank and pension be given accordingly wef 01 Jan 2006. The PCDA (O) had issued the revised LPC based on which PCDA (P) has also issued revised Corrg PPO to all the pre 2006 Maj Gens. This results into increase in pension from 01 Jan 2006 to 30 June 2014. Most of the Maj Gens have thus also received their arrears by July 2019. All pre-2006 retired Maj Gens have thus been benefited. 
     We give here how to check the correctness of arrears and how to spread them to the previous years to which they pertain to claim rebate in Income Tax under Sec 89 (l)

RETIRED RECENTLY - VETERANS

THIS POST IS FOR YOU.....                     (Updated - today)

ACTIONS BY RECENT RETIREES THEY MUST TAKE AFTER RETIREMENT ASAP

1. It is a fact of life that we, while in service never bothered about our Retired Phase of Life. We may have been very good professionally Wwith long tails of qualifications, however, are virtually NIX on the issues which bug us all day in and day out during the retired life. During service one had a functional office as well as administrative support which just vanished in thin air, in a short while after one's farewell to arms.
2. Are you, for sure, aware as to what all forms you filled up and sent to AG's branch six months before your superannuation. Wasn't it your Head Clerk who liaised with another unit to copy all these documents from the ones belonging to another recent retiree. Our ignorance would surely lead to many issues which will crop up in a few years. We will then be bash our head here and there to rectify what could have been done easily immediately after retirement. (CONTD)

PENALTY INTEREST ON DELAYED PAYMENTS OF PENSION BY PDAs

COMPENSATION BY AGENCY BANKS (PDA) FOR DELAYED PAYMENT OF PENSION AND FAMILY PENSION WEF 01 OCT 2008

1.       A large number of pensioners/family pensioners have been facing the problem of delayed payments by banks or paying lesser pension than their entitlement. It's been found to be a very very common problem particularly faced by the Family Pensioners who are generally not aware of their entitlements and the system which pays them the pension. We have seen my pensioners and Family pensioners running to their banks and virtually begging the bank clerks to look into the payments and corrections whereas they are duty bound by explicitly laid down rules too pay the correct pension without any claims from us. The attitude of the bank clerks in most of the banks has generally seen to be rude and indifferent as if they are the ones who are giving the pension to them. (Contd -click below) -----

COMPENDIUM FOR VETERANS

ALL IN ONE COMPENDIUM FOR VETERANS

(A BOOKLET PREPARED BY SIGNALS PARIVAAR FOR THE BENEFIT OF RETIRED FAUJIs)

1.      While in service, we planned for all contingencies which might occur, whether in official or in our personal issues. However, after retirement many of us do not exercise the same josh in our personal affairs. We feel that we still have plenty of time to go, as such will look into our affairs to set them in  order in due course of time. The time is moving from second to second since the entire Universe is dynamically changing every nano-second. One is not ever sure when our invitation will come to take on the journey to our heavenly abode. Let us be frank and face the fact of life without faking our worldly thoughts the end may be , all you know is round the corner. So friends its time now to 

OPTIONS - SERVING OFFRS -7 CPC PAY FIXATION

EXERCISING OPTION FOR FIXATION OF PAY UNDER 7TH CPC BY SERVING OFFICERS.

1.  The govt since approved the implementation of  the recommendations of the 7th pay commission, and have issued this time 7th CPC Army Pay Rules (Officers) in place of the Special Army Instructions giving broad directions for the implementation. Please read our last post on implementation of 7 CPC Recommendations for serving officers CLICK HERE TO READ.

2.   Under  Rule 10 all serving officers are required to send option within 180 days of the date of the publication for fixation of their pay either on 01 Jan 2016 or on a later date. In case no option is exercised their pays will be fixed as on 01 Jan 2016 which is more beneficial to large number of the officers.

3.    The officers are required to check and understand as to which of the options will be  more beneficial for them in the long run, i.e. whether to have their pays fixed  as on 01 Jan 2016 or later after earning the next increment, upgradation or promotion on 01 Jul 2016 if more beneficial to them in the long run.  In this blog-post we have attempted to work  out  the methodology to mathematically check and decide on the two options.
