As many would recall, with effect from 01-01-2006, various
forms of pensions were calculated and based on the minimum of the new pay bands
introduced by the 6th Central Pay Commission rather than the minimum
of pay for each separate grade/rank within the new pay bands according to the
new fitment tables.
This controversy was ultimately resolved on judicial
intervention and the Government ultimately relented and removed the anomaly,
though only from September 2012 rather than January 2006 which was in fact the
day of the inception of the said anomaly.
That matter went till the Supreme Court which was pleased
to affirm the orders of the Delhi High Court which had in turn directed that
the benefits were to flow from January 2006 and not from the artificial future
date of September 2012. Even the Review and then the Curative Petitions filed by the Government against the decision of the Delhi High Court were later dismissed by the Supreme Court. Of course, the Government did not issue universal orders
and has re-agitated the matter in the Supreme Court in many other cases.
Notwithstanding the controversy of revised arrears from
January 2006 versus September 2012, another anomaly that persisted was that
though the anomaly in the regular pension now stood rectified, the calculation
of casualty pensionary awards was still being based upon the minimum of pay
band rather than the minimum of pay within the pay band for each grade/rank.
The said anomaly has now been rectified with effect from September
2012 and orders have been issued for civilian pensioners ordaining that
casualty pensionary awards shall also be based upon the minimum of pay within
the pay band for each grade/rank according to the fitment tables rather than
the minimum of the pay band itself.
Orders for defence pensioners are to be issued by the Department
of Ex-Servicemen Welfare (DESW) of the Ministry of Defence and are expected
soon since the financial clearance has already been accorded.
