Most of the Maj Gens have thus also received their arrears by July 2019. All pre-2006 retired Maj Gens have thus been benefited.

    CALCULATION OF ARREARS -  Jan 2006 to 30 Jun 2014

   (Updated  Jan 2019)

Most Pre-2006 retired Maj Gens have already received their new PPOs as per the honourable SC Judgment..

 What is the increase in their basic pension from 01 Jan 2006 to 30 Jun 2014, is the increase in pension fixed as per the new PPO. received by them from PCDA(P) .
  For a particular Maj Gen with 37.5 yrs QS or above his new pension has been fixed at Rs  34855/-  as against Rs 30350/-  (Circular 500) hence there is an increase of Rs 4505/- per month wef 01 Jan 2006 up to 30 Jun 2014 when the same was increased in OROP to 38763 wef 01 Jul 2014.

Please note that the notional pay fixed varies from general officer to gen officer and is in the range of 32000 to 35000 depending on the last pay drawn at the time of retirement. The arrears can be calculated accordingly with a simple multiplication.

The arrears they get are =  4505 X 143.40  = Rs 646017.00  where 143.40 (MAGIC MULTIPLIER) is our derived multiplication factor taking into account DAs from time to time for the said period. ( give +  or – Rs 10/-) -   Simple (hai Na Primary Class calculation) do it yourself as per your pension so fixed –  cheers .

IMPORTANT - RELIEF IN INCOME TAX ON ARREARS RECEIVED.

Since these arrears pertain to the period of Jan-06 to Jun-14 as such they will be entitled to relief in income tax under section 89 (i) . Please read in detail as to how to interpolate the arrears of >6 Lakhs to previous years and take action as given in our web post on this portal as under :-

The relief will be possible only if during the relevant Financial Years one had not been in the 30% bracket for income tax in those years.



The table (copied from the mentioned post) along side  gives the multiplying factor for particular Financial years in order to split the arrears for the previous years. One can read in details in the Relief post as mentioned above. 

Example - Taking the increase of Rs 4505, the part of total arrears which pertain to say Financial year 2008-09 will be 4505 X 13.98 (Factor from above table) . similarly one will know for other years.
