THE MAN WHO BROUGHT HONOUR TO PENSIONERS IN INDIA

THE MAN WHO BROUGHT HONOUR TO PENSIONERS IN INDIA

“PENSION IS NOT A GRACE....

PENSION IS NOT AN EX-GRATIA PAYMENT.....”

32 YEARS AGO, on 17th December 1982, the Supreme Court of India

declared so in the Classic judgement delivered by five most eminent judges of India

in D S Nakara Vs. Govt of India case.

Till 1986, there was no pension revision in central services. 

But, the Govt was compelled to ask 4^th CPC to study pension system

and recommend modification, if any required. 

Based on 4^th CPC report, pension also was revised from 1986. 

Only because of the case filed by Mr. D S Nakara and his friend

Rear Admiral (Retd) Satyendra Singh.

5^th CPC recommended better benefits for pensioners quoting Supreme Court. 6^th CPC also recommended pension revision, but, with lesser benefits to the pensioners than the serving staff.Now the 7^th CPC is on the job.

Pensioners of India observe 17^th December every year as PENSIONERS DAY.
