PENSION ANOMALY CASE.                          

Latest information  from Com R L Kapoor. Legal committee member , DELHI. Regarding Pension Anomaly case, after the Delhi high court judgement, DOT moved the file to Pension Department for its approval.Pension Department took a positive decision but put the rider to seek the approval from Expenditure Department. Expenditure Department wanted to know whether there is any ground for appeal. Accordingly the file was sent to Department of Law and Justice. Now that department has given its opinion that it is a weak case for appeal. So, all the hurdles are over. It is presumed that the opinion of Law and Justice department will be sent to DoE. After its clearance DoT will have to issue the order. Let us hope to get the final order by next month.

 Now CCA office has started sanctioning pension through SAMPANN for JANUARY 2020 VRS OPTEES since February/March 2020 and EPPOs  were issued for approximately for 200 Pensioners. Subsequently  due to corona lock down  process of Pension was slowed down and Sanction of pension was given priority. CCA Office has sent soft copy of EPPOs   and it was decided that individual has to take the printout. It was a decision for all those who retired on Superannuation during 2020.

We were not able to  have a direct meeting with the Officers of CCA Office. On 05.11.2020 our CS com RV and com V.Ramarao CP had a meeting with CCA and Jt. CCA at R.K.Nagar. During the meeting they insisted for issue of hard copies of signed PPO . CCCA  told that more than 8000 PPOs are to be printed and due to shortage  of staff, they have a plan to engage external agency for printing of PPOs and accordingly  Tender process is in progress.  On 15.12.2020 RV CS and S. Sundarakrishnan DS STR /ACS met Jt.CCA  and AO Pension and  discussed various issues. During that time also we emphasized the necessity of the issue of hard copies of EPPOs .They told that decision has been finalized and the work of printing will commence by January 2021 and EPPO  will be despatched within a couple of months. The same was told in the recently held virtual  Adalat also.
