Contempt of Court petition filed by our Association in the pension anomaly case came up before the Principal bench of CAT today. Court issued notice to all the Respondents by name, as the usual procedure. Next date is 16-8-2017.

As all of you know, we had filed a case in Principal Bench of CAT,New Delhi to get removed the anomaly in pension of those who retired during the period from October 2000 to July 2001. On 16-12-2016 CAT pronounced its judgement in our favour. 90 days’ time was given to the Respondents (Dept of Telecom, Dept of Pension, Dept of Expenditure etc.) to implement the court order. 180 days have passed since. The Court order is not honoured.
DOT officers say that they have asked the Government advocate to file Appeal in High Court against the CAT decision. We immediately filed a Caveat Petition in Delhi High Court to ensure that we are heard before the High Court gives any decision in the Appeal. Another 90 days have passed since then. Still no Appeal is filed in High Court.
CONTEMPT
Therefore, finding no other way, we have filed a Contempt of Court Petition on 13-7-2017 in Principal Bench of CAT.
IMMEDIATE EFFECT
I anticipate that the Government Advocate will file the appeal petition immediately in High Court. Administrative reasons will be shown for the delay. In most of the cases the Court condones such delay on the part of Government Departments. Then we have to fight the case in High Court.We are prepared for it. We are prepared to fight in the Supreme Court even...... P S RAMANKUTTY

Dear Sir,

However, we invite your attention to Concordance Tables No. 24 & 25 issued vide DOPPW OM Dated 6-7-2017, wherein the orders issued vide MOF (DOE) OM. 1/1/2008-IC dated 13th November,2009 have not been taken care of, while finalizing the Concordance Table Nos. 24 & 25.
2. The posts which were in Pre-revised scale of Rs.6500-10500 as on 1.1.2006 were granted Grade Pay of 4600 corresponding to Pre-revised scale of Rs.7450-11500 w.e.f. 1-1-2006 vide Para 3 of MOF (DOE) OM dated 13-11-2009 cited above.
As such, for the purpose of working out Notional Pay all Pre-2016 Pensioners who retired from the pre-revised Scale of 6500-10500, are entitled to Grade Pay Rs.4600/ . But, the Concordance Table Nos. 24 & 25 show the scale of Rs.6500-10500 with GP 4200/-

On 6-7-2017, the Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare has released one Ready Reckoner Table to help central government pensioners to revise their pension under the latest formulation approved by Cabinet.It is a very useful Table; no doubt.
But, unfortunately there is a mistake.
For those who retired before 1996 from the then Pay Scale of Rs 2000-3200 (JTOs, ASTTs, Grade IV etc.) the replacement scale from 1-1-1996 was Rs 6500-200-10500. From 1-1-2006 their replacement pay scale was 9300-34800. The sixth CPC bunched pay scales of 5000-8000, 5500-9000 and 6500-10500 together and gave a single pay band of 9300-34800. Those who got promotion and those who did not get promotion, all got same pay band and same grade pay of Rs 4200.
Later on, to undo the anomaly, the Finance Ministry vide their Office Memorandum dated 13-11-2009, raised the Grade Pay for 6500-10500 from Rs 4200 to Rs 4600. Now, DoP&PW has prepared the Concordance Table without noticing the above change.Those who retired from the said pay scale of 6500-10500 will lose a good amount in their re-fixation of pension.
I sent Email to leaders of more than 50 central government pensioners’ organizations supplying a copy of the said OM dated 13-11-2009 and requested them to take up the matter. I sent an email pointing out the mistake to the concerned officer in Pension Department also.
It has to be rectified. Else it will be a gross injustice to the senior Class III officials retired.
