Additional Gratuity to pre-1996 pensioners

There is a letter floating around in veteran circles asking people to fill up a form for claiming additional gratuity in respect of those who retired prior to 01-01-1996. The said letter is purportedly based on a pronouncement by the Supreme Court.

Veterans are requested to ignore any such communication since there is no truth in the same.

Dear Mr M dhillon,
Gratuity is based upon last pay ( pay in PB+GP+MSP+NPA) drawn including DA on the date of retirement/ discharge and by giving weightage of 5 yrs to the qualifying servcie, 50% of QS subject to maximum of 16.5 months salary/10 lakhs
