Delay in settlement of Pension cases for want of confirmation entries

 Corporate office letter : Click here.

Thanks: TVL Web.

CHQ update on 78.2% case and Grant of pension.

78.2% CASE: ANOTHER STEP

04/01

Com. R C Malhotra, AGS reports from Delhi:

The Cabinet Note has reached Secretary, Ministry Law on last Friday.

He has to record his views on the File. It is pending for his action. 

GRANT PENSION; NO MATTER IF PERMANENT OR TEMPORARY

04/01

In Central Services, the officials are confirmed only once in entire service.

But the PPO authorities in some cases insist on confirmation details at the time of granting Pension of such officials who got promotion not once but twice or thrice or even more. Because of this, the pension cases are delayed. Now, DoT has pointed out an old order to BSNL and said that pension should be granted to all officials without insisting on the confirmation details. There is no distinction between permanent and temporary officials in the matter of pension.

The letter from DoT to BSNL is given in the page: IMPORTANT ORDERS for the benefit of anyone affected.
