Central Govt. employees and pensioners are likely to get 6% D.A. from January 2011.: Veteran Prabhjot Singh Chhatwal PLS (Retd.).:
Central Govt. employees and pensioners are likely to get 6% D.A. from January 2011
Whatever the price of onion is; the D.A will not be as sweet as July last year. As per the All India Index published by Labour Bureau, Govt. of India the Dearness Allowance payable to the Central Govt.staff with effect from January 2011 may not be more than 6 percent.
The figure for Nov'10 has just released and it stands at 182. The December figure is expected in the end of January. Even if the figure touches 185 in December, which is very unlikely, the D.A. hike will be limited to 6%.
Only thing to cheer is the fixed allowances such as Children Education Allowance, Conveyance Allowance for some category of staff will be 25% more as the D.A. will certainly cross the 50% mark. It may be remembered that D.A. linked allowances such as Transport Allowances will be unchanged.

War Widow gets correct pension after about four decades :Veteran prabhjot Singh Chhatwal PLS Retd.
Dear veterans,
A war widow of Patiala, Smt. Rajinder Kaur Ahuja, had to wait for four decades to get the correct family pension.
Her husband, Flt. Lt. Gurbax Singh Ahuja (born on 6th April,1938) was commissioned in Indian Air force as General duty Pilot on 19 Dec, 1959 and promoted to the rank of Flt. Lt. on 19 Dec,1964. The officer was married to Smt. Rajinder Kaur Ahuja on 27 January, 1963 and a son, Aveninder Singh was born out of their wedlock on 30 Oct, 1963.
The young officer, Ahuja left this world in a combat during Indo-Pak conflict on 9 Sep, 1965 leaving his two year old son in the lap of his wife, who, then, was about 24 year old only.
The widow was granted special allowance (Liberized Pension) of Rs.526/- p.m which was erroneously suspended when the widow remarried with his husband's real brother but was restored on 1 Feb, 1972 when the authorities realized their mistake on being reminded by the widow.
But PCDA (Pension), the Pension Sanctioning Authority, again committed the blunder at the time of restoration of pension and the widow was granted an Ordinary Pension of Rs.96/- p.m. instead of Liberized Pension of Rs. 526/- p.m. which was subsequently revised to Rs.375/- p.m. on 1-1-1986, Rs.1275/- p.m. on 1-1-1996 and Rs. 3500/- p.m. on 1-1-2006.
When this discrepancy in pension came to light during a survey, jointly conducted by Indian Ex-Services League (Punjab & Chandigarh) and Ex-Soldiers, Sailor and Airmen Association (Both headed by Veteran Prabhjot Singh Chhatwal), the organization made the concerted efforts to get the widow her correct Basic Pension of Rs.22600/- p.m. with effect from 1-1-2006. and solved the case with in two months. Presently the widow receives a total pension Rs.32770/- p.m. Widow has already received an arrear amounting to Rs 14,50,000/- and about same amount will be released by PCDA ( Pension ) Allahabad after completing certain formalities in due course.
As Such the widow has suffered for about four decades to get the anomaly, in her pension corrected, though through the efforts of Ex-Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen Association (Regd), a national level organization of Ex-Servicemen and Widows.

Recognition of Marriage after retirement for pensionary purposes-Navdeep Blog;Veteran Prabhjot Singh Chhatwal PLS Retd.
Recognition of Marriage after retirement for pensionary purposes
Some Record Offices have been refusing to recognise marriages solemnised
after retirement of defence personnel. This refusal is based on an MoD
letter issued on 02-06-1989 in which it had been provided that marriages
after retirement would only be considered for family pension purposes if
in a particular case it is the first marriage and is solemnised within 5 years
from retirement or before attaining the age of 45 years, whichever is earlier.
This position by Records Offices is incorrect and in total contravention
of rulings of the Hon’ble Supreme Court as well as Government policy.
The restrictions mentioned in the ibid MoD letter dated 02-06-1989 were
withdrawn and cancelled vide another letter issued by the MoD on
05-04-1991 which was based on the decision of the Hon’ble Supreme Court
in the case Bhagwati Vs UOI.Claimants can claim family pension based on
a certificate issued by the Registrar of Marriages or an affidavit sworn
before a First Class Magistrate.Cases of officers are to be processed through
AG’s Branch while those of JCOs and Other Ranks are to be initiated
through the respective Record Offices.
