It is heartening to note that the rate of pension of a Subedar is less than what he was getting as on 1-1-2006.

For example:  Table -36 of Cir 430.

A subedar of  X group  of 30 yrs of service, retired in the year 2002.

As per the  above table, he was getting a basic pension of 11066 as on 1-1-2006.

Now , according to Cir 547, Annexure- A,  his pension is mentioned as 10280.

What is this- Instead of an   increase, there is adecrease.

Whether the JCO has to repay   ?.

There are three periods  mentioned in the Tables of cir 430,

Prior to 1996,   1-1-1996 to 10-10-1997  and  10-10-1997 to 31-12-2005.

The rate should have been as per the periods of retirement,

But the Annexure  A, B and C  of Cir 547 is prepared  just for one period hence the  anomaly.

The affected Subedar is questioning / asking us  whether any recovery will be made  on the basis of this circular.

There are many  such discrepancies in the Annexures  A, B  and C..

Affected veterans are requested to verify their own Rate of pension  and inform the PDAs  not to make any recovery.
