NEW BUDGET, INCOMETAX EXEMPTION
Department of Pension sought views of Pensioners Organizations also in this regard.
OUR ASSOCIATION HAS suggested that PENSION SHOULD NOT BE TAXED.
Assocham (Association of Chambers of Commerce in India) has suggested to raise income tax exemption limit to Rs 5 lakh in Budget “Considering the inflation over the years, tax exemption limit should be increased from Rs 2,50,000 to Rs 5,00,000,” the chamber’s memorandum to the Finance Ministry stated.

COURT CASES
The Arrears Case (338/18) is listed for 18-6-2019. We hope it will be taken up for hearing.
The LPD case (346/18) was also postponed again and again and finally listed for 7-6-2019. One day before that date it was re-posted for 12-6-2019 by notification. Again on 11-6-2019 it is once again posted to 21-6-2019 by notification.
Earlier there was only one judge. Now both judges are available. We hope that the Tribunal will take up the cases for hearing.
ANOMALY CASE: On 16-12-2016, CAT Principal bench pronounced its judgement in our favour in the anomaly case . Unfortunately, instead of respecting the court order, DoT preferred to file appeal in High Court. The high court of Delhi gave a very long gap to consider the case. Now, it is posted to 18, July 2019. More than 4200 BSNL employees retired from October 2000 to July 2001 have suffered huge loss in their pension due to the anomaly. Half of them have already left this earth. Remaining people are 79 years old. They are waiting for the justice.

the office of Finance Minister to be provided in new Budget proposals."
There are about 3 crore pensioners in India, including 65 lakh central service pensioners.
Pensionary benefits are not taxed, but pension of government employees and PSE pensioners are taxed.
Pension of MPs is not taxed on the plea that “ it is not salary but income from other sources”.
“Other sources” is nothing but Exchequer. Govt pensioners too get pension from same source.
Hence, PENSION of everybody should be out of tax net. Such a declaration by the MODI II Govt. will earn goodwill of 10-15 crore of people, though the beneficiaries may be 10% of that.
Taxes on Liquor and luxury items should be increased.
We do not produce gold. But we are second in the world in buying gold ornaments. This wealth is nonproductive; it helps neither the nation nor the society. Hence maximum tax should be imposed on gold transactions.
RETIREMENT AGE MAY BE REDUCED TO 58?
22-6-19: Justice Delayed
Our Case in CAT Ernakulam for Pension @ 50% of Last Pay Drawn, was not taken up for hearing on 21-6-2019 though it was listed. The Court heard some cases but our number did not come.
The delay is quite disgusting.
