Ref.:BPS/SG/RB/012/4 Dated 03.02.2012

Hon’ble Shri Pranab Mukherjee,

Union Minister of Finance,

134 North Block, New Delhi – 110001

Respected Sir,

Ref : Aspirations of Senior Citizens regarding the National Budget for 2012-13

Respectfully, Bharat Pensioners Samaj, one of the oldest & largest representative Federations ofIndian Pensioners, wish to place the following suggestions and aspirations of Senior Citizens, in

respect of the ensuing Union Budget. Sr Citizens are today around 10% of the National Population,mostly consisting the community of Aam Adami.

Sir, financial problems of Sr. Citizens largely arise because, most of them are products of the lowcost economy era in our Country, when the earnings and the savings were meager compared to

present levels. Now, surviving with the dwindling returns on the already meager savings and gallopinginflation has become a challenge. Moreover, most of the Sr Citizens suffer with age related health

problems and health care has become so costly that Sr Citizens can not afford it. These are twosituations on which Sr citizen have no control. Therefore, to merely survive in the present high cost

economy we have to ask for some financial concessions and we earnestly request you to pleaseconsider them favourably.

1] Increase the Tax exemption limit to 5.0 & 7.0 lac At present Income Tax exemption limit forSr. Citizens (60+ / -80) is `2.50 lakhs and it is proposed to be continued after implementation of DTC.

Sir, income tax exemption for individuals is related to the cost of living which is directly linked withinflation which has been rising year by year. While in case of other citizens with similar taxable

income, basic income tax exemption has been relaxed & raised over the years since the financial year2004-2005, in case of Sr. Citizens the effective basic exemption has been progressively reduced.

For & upto F.Y.2004-2005, Sr. Citizens were getting concession in income tax payable (under

section 80CC) to the tune of ` 20,000/-as compared to other citizens with similar taxable income. In2005-2006 this was changed, basic exception for other citizens was raised to ` 1,00,000/- & that for

the Sr Citizens it was made ` 1,85,000/- abolishing the ` 20,000/- deduction from Tax payable. Thischange resulted in reduction of effective concession to Sr Citizens from ` 20,000/- to 12,000/ thereby

causing a loss of ` 8,000/ to them. This concession was further reduced in subsequent years & willnow come down to jus ` 5,000/- on implementation of DTC.

Sir, Income of Senior Citizens gets reduced day by day due to deteriorating interest rates andunbearable dearness of food items and medical facilities. They do not enjoy fully Public Goods and

Services provided by Government for citizens due to immobility and many other factors. Their ability topay Tax gets reduced after retirement and from year to year due to less income, more expenditure on

food & medicines. Their Net worth gets reduced considerably as at the beginning of the year. There are

many other factors, which also require to be considered. Thus all Senior Citizens deserve to be completelyexempted from paying Income Tax. They have paid a lot of Tax for 30-40 years during their earning period

and worked hard after achieving Independence as well as during the present Economic Growth.

However, if complete exemption cannot be allowed, exemption up to 5 lakhs instead of only 2.50

lac for 60+ and 7.0 lac for 80+ group of Sr Citizens may be considered sympathetically.

2] Tax deduction at source [TDS] It is a fact that Sr. Citizens are often put to lot of mental stressand confusion as they are required to approach, often repeatedly, the Income Tax offices for refund of

tax deducted at source despite their furnishing “H” form to the concerned authorities / Banks who stilldeduct that through inadvertence and oversight. It is therefore requested that Senior.Citizens Community

may be excluded from the purview of TAX Deduction at Source.

3] In the new Tax code , you have proposed to give some incentives for savings with the hope that

people will be encouraged to save. In view of EET proposal and permitting the savings in only 4 SavingsIntermediaries which does not suit Sr. Citizens. They will be discouraged to save anything due to long

term scheme & EET and thus will lose the present incentive of getting rebate for saving of ̀ 1 lakh and willhave to pay more tax to the extent of not saving. Keeping in view their deteriorating financial and physical

condition from year to year and their capability to pay tax and to ensure that their Net Worth does not getreduced disproportionately, the rule of EET may not be applied to Senior Citizens & they be allowed to

save in the existing schemes like Senior Citizens Saving Scheme 2004, NSCs, etc.

4] The plight of Central and State Government and PSU Pensioners The above categories of

Pensioners are also badly hit by inflation which has eroded considerably their already inadequatepension. Pension should, therefore, be paid net of taxes as was recommended by the 5th CPC vide

Para 167.11 of their report. Moreover, pensioners are a homogenous class which cannot be divided onthe basis of their date of retirement and pension is not a bounty. It is a statutory, inalienable, legally

enforceable right( S.C.Judgement D.S.Nakara & others vs UOI (AIR 1983, SC 130) & Vth CPC reportPara 127.3 to 127.6 .Therefore, the Government is urged to honour the S.C. judgement in letter &

spirit to bring all pensioners at par .

5] Implementation of the National Policy on Older Persons, The National Policy on Older

Persons (NPOP) although announced almost 12 years ago has witnessed very slow momentum inrespect of implementation of various Welfare Programmes for senior citizens, largely due to lack of

specific Budgetary provisions. We request that this aspect may kindly be taken care of in your next b

6] The plight of Central and State Government and PSU Pensioners These categories of Pensioners are also badly hit by inflation which has eroded considerably their already inadequate

pension. Pension therefore, should be paid net of taxes as recommended by the 5th CPC vide Para167.11 of their report. Moreover, pensioners are a homogenous class which cannot be divided on the

7] Specific Saving Scheme for Senior Citizens For financial protection to Elderly Community,9% Senior Citizens’ Savings Scheme was introduced in August. 2004 through the Budget

announcements. During the intervening periods, there has been huge increase in cost of living with theresult that 90% of Sr. Citizens, who get pension benefits, but have to survive on interest returns on their

investments of meager savings, have been experiencing innumerable difficulties in the maintenance oftheir very livelihood.

OROP : ONE RANK - ONE PENSIONPARLIAMENT OF INDIA

Rajya Sabha Secretariat

Press Release

HUNDRED AND FORTY-SECOND REPORTon the petition praying for grant of one rankone pension to the armed forces personnel

The Committee on Petitions of Rajya Sabha

under the Chairmanship of Shri Bhagat SinghKoshyari, MP, presented its Hundred and Forty-

second Report to the Rajya Sabha on 19thDecember, 2011 on the petition praying for grant of

one rank one pension to the armed forces personnel.

2. The Petition was submitted by Shri Sanjay

Prabhu and others, resident of Bangalore andcountersigned by Rajeev Chandrasekhar, MP,

Rajya Sabha.

3. The Committee during the course of its

deliberations interacted with the petitioners,representatives of Departments of Ex-servicemen

Welfare (M/o Defence), Expenditure (M/oFinance) and Pensions and Pensioner's Welfare

(M/o Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions)and some organizations/individuals.

4. Following are the important

recommendations of the Committee:-

4.1 The Committee has taken note of the fact

that a sum of `1300 crores is the total financialliability for the year 2011-12 in case OROP is

implemented fully for all the defence personnel inthe country across the board. The Committee was

informed that out of this, 1065 crores would go toretirees belonging to Post Below Officer Ranks

(PBOR) while the Commissioned Officers wouldbe getting the remaining i.e. 235 crores. The

Committee felt that 1300 crores is not a very bigamount for a country of our size and economy for

meeting the long pending demand of the armedforces of the country. The Committee understand

that this 1300 crores is the expenditure for oneyear which might increase at the rate of 10 percent

annually. Even if it is so, the Committee does notconsider this amount to be high, keeping in view

the objective for which it would be spent.

(Para 11 of the Report)

4.2 The Committee was not convinced with

the version of the Ministry of Finance that the grantof OROP to the defence personnel would eventually

generate similar requests from the civilian workforce of the country under the Central Government

and the State Governments. The Committee feelsso because of the quite different terms and

conditions of service of the two different categoriesof employments. The terms and conditions of

armed forces are tougher and harsher than thecivilian Government employee. On the issue of

returning of service medals by the defencepersonnel of our country to the President of India

in view of the Governments' apathetic attitudetowards their demand of grant of OROP, the

Committee was of the view that our defencepersonnel should not feel alienated to this extent

again and they are not forced to surrender theirhard earned service medals in this manner to exhibit

their discontent with the government policies.

(Para 11.2 of the Report)

4.3 The Committee also felt that the decision

of the Government to bring our defence personnelon the pattern of the civilians with regard to their

pay, pension, etc. (from Third Central PayCommission onwards) is not a considered

decision which has caused hardship to thedefence personnel and has given birth to their

demand for OROP. The Committee understandthat before the Third Central Pay Commission,

the defence personnel were getting their pay /pension on the basis of separate criteria

unconnected with the criteria devised for thecivilian work force. That criteria acknowledged and

covered the concept of OROP which has beengiven up after the Third Central Pay Commission.

Sir, there is an imperative need to extend them adequate financial protection by modifying the

Scheme as “11% Senior. Citizens’ Savings Scheme” & raising the max. deposit limit to Rs 20 lac.We, therefore, reiterate that the interest rate of the Scheme should be increased to 11% and it be

continued with new arrangements for payment before maturity within one year.

8] Higher 2% rate of interest on Term Deposits Although all Banks were advised by R.B.I. in

April 2001, to pay half to one percent additional interest on term deposits, no Bank is paying onepercent additional interest and trying to comply with R.B.I. directives within the range of half percent

additional interest. In fact, even 1% higher interest is not adequate to provide the desired protection toSenior Citizens. It is requested that there should be provision of additional 2% interest on their term

deposits The benefit of additional interests should be on all types of deposits to fulfil the requirementsof financial protection to Senior Citizens. the R.B.I., therefore, needs to be advised suitably.

Sir, we have placed before you in brief our major financial aspirations . Considering the increasing

span of life and limited resources at the disposal of Senior Citizens, we feel confident that as abenevolent progressive economist, you will positively consider to translate the above siggestions and

aspirations into reality.

Sir, it is observed that before the Budget you arrange meetings with different sections of society to

hear their views. We shall be thankful if you would consider us similarly so that there would bemeaningful interaction to understand one another with relevant perspectives. We ardently look forward

to your communication in this regards.

the latest orders and how a few availed of thesebenefits on his specific guidance to them.

Shri Dutta praised the services of BPS and

particularly our octogenarian Secy Gl, Shri ShyamSunder. He continued that even at this advanced

age, Shri Shyam Sunder has been spending morethan 16 hours on many days in the cause of

pensioners. He suggested that volunteersavailable at Delhi should come forward and render

requisite assistance to lessen the burden of ourSecy Genl. At this juncture, Shri O P Verma, a

dedicated member of BPS from Dwarka (NewDelhi) came forward to render the requisite

assistance to the BPS. On a suggestion madeby the Secy Gl, it was decided to include him as

a ‘Special Invitee’ to the MC.

Other speakers lauded the services of BPSand stressed that the unity among pensioners

should be further strengthened. The other issuesraised by them were non-implementation of parity

principle/modified parity for the existing pensioners(both pre-1996 retirees and pre-2006 retirees) and

other long-pending demands of pensioners.

Regarding the merger of AICCPA with BPS,

the proposal for formation of a Jt Committeereceived from Shri S S Ramachandran, Secy Gl,

AICCPA was approved. However, the House feltthat BPS being the older organization (established

in 1955) it may not be advisable to change thename of the organization.

The AGM ended with a Vote of Thanks to the

Chair proposed by R N Tripathi, Sr VP.

PROCEEDINGS: AGM - 2011The House assembled on 04.11.11 at 10:00

hours. The Chief Guest was Shri K R

Gangadharan, Vice President, IFA, Toronto @Secunderabad, (AP). He was received with

warmth and affection by the President, Sr VicePresident, Secy Genl and Secy (Railways) of

BPS. After a brief welcome remarks both by thePresident and Secy Genl, the proceedings started

with collective singing of the National Anthem.Shri R N Tripathi, Sr VP anchored the proceedings

of the meeting.

Shri K C Pipal, President, thanked the ChiefGuest for his acceptance of the invitation from

the BPS and also sparing his valuable time to bewith the delegates from across the country. He

also thanked each member and office bearers ofthe Management Committee, BPS, for their co-

operation. He praised Shri Shyam Sunder, ouroctogenarian Secy Genl for his untiring services

to the BPS even at this advanced age. Heexpressed his happiness that during his tenure

in BPS, he could see this age-old Federationachieve still further heights by two holding National

Conventions of Railway Pensioners at Delhi andSecunderabad respectively and now planning a

March to Parliament alongwith other federationsand serving Central Govt employees to present a

memorandum on our long-pending demands.

Thereafter, the President requested the Chief

Guest to honour the Members of the PlatinumAge Brotherhood 2011. Thirty-one Members were

invited to attend the function. 22 of them whograced the occasion were honoured with garlands

and presented with a citation and a shawl. One ofthe members of Platinum Age Brotherhood

thanked the BPS for this honour. A GroupPhotograph of this Brotherhood was also taken.

Before taking up the next item of the agenda,

‘Awards for Outstanding Affiliates’ Sr VP madean announcement of a contribution of Rs 5,000/-

by Shri S C Maheswari, Secy, Railways in thename of his wife Smt. Daya Maheswari (who

passed away on 01.08.11) to be utilized forpresentation of an award in her name, along with

a Trophy, each year for the most Outstanding

Affiliate of BPS. One Award of ` 5,000/- alongwitha Trophy each year is already donated, in honour

of Late Shri S P Vatta, by his family, for the samenoble cause of awarding a most Outstanding

Affiliated Association. Thereafter, Shri Maheswariannounced that the BSNL Assn at Ahmedabad

was adjudged as the most Outstanding Affiliatefollowed by AICGPA, Pune as the second one. 2

other affiliates of BPS at Mohali and Chandigarhwere selected as the third and fourth winner. The

Chief Guest and the President presented thetrophy, cash awards and certificates to the

representatives of these winners.

The Chief Guest, Shri K R Gangadharan, inhis address thanked the BPS for the warm

reception accorded to him. He narrated an incidentwhen Hon’ble CM of Haryana declined to meet

him initially as a representative of Sr Citizens justlooking at his appearance ( in view of his

considerably younger age, the Hon’ble CM tookit for granted that he could not be a representative

of Sr Citizens. Thereafter, he was finally given aninterview by the CM when others explained in detailhis position and status in a leading International

Organization connected with Sr Citizens). ShriGangadharan narrated that, while some of the

International cities do have friendly dispositionsand facilities for Sr Citizens at Railway Stations

and other public places, more number of citiesdo not have such friendly approach whereas the

position in Indian cities is far from satisfactory. Insome countries of the world, there is a national

policy for senior citizens whereas, in India, abeginning is yet to be made in framing a National

Policy for Sr Citizens. Though recommendationshave been made for laying down a National Policy,

it is yet to be framed in the absence of a powerfullobby for Sr Citizens.

It is ironical that the concerned Minister and

the Deptt received sufficient funds to initiate variousmeasures for the welfare and benefit of Sr Citizens

but the allocation could not be used and fundslapsed in the absence of suitable policy and

guidelines. (Both the concerned ministers andbureaucrats – Centre and States – were working

at cross purposes and raising queries.) Various

AGM : 2011

committees and sub-committees were formed,

issues discussed but eventually no decision wastaken. He suggested that in view of very large number

of senior citizens in India, a powerful lobby shouldbe created and should focus on their demands for

the general welfare of all senior citizens.

He felt that an advocacy effort would be veryimportant in getting things done in this field. He

said that the Ministry of Social Justice at thecentre should take the initiative and should follow

with the concerned departments in various Statesin framing the guidelines and utilizing the funds

for senior citizens. He advised that all federations/confederations of pensioners should move

together with other forums of senior citizens ingetting these general benefits / welfare measures

for all senior citizens in addition to projectinggenuine long pending demands of pensioners.

First session before Tea-Break came to anend after Sr VP conveyed ‘Vote of Thanks’ to the

Chief Guest, distinguished members on the dais,members of the Platinum Age Brotherhood and

all members of the BPS present in the house.

When members assembled after Tea-break,R N Tripathi made a reference to members who

left for their heavenly abode since the last AGM.The House stood in silence for 2 minutes as a

mark of respect to them.

Thereafter, Secretary General’s Report was

taken up for discussion. In the absence of anyformal report of Secy Genl, Shri Shyam Sunder

recalled that most of our activities are being coveredregularly in our monthly magazine – ‘BHARAT

PENSIONER’. He mentioned that full parity/modified parity codified by the 5th Pay Commission,

carried forward by the SCPC and accepted by theGovt for the benefit of the existing pensioners has

not been implemented by the Govt. This issue hasbeen taken up with the Deptt of Pension, but the

Govt is yet to act upon this demand. He listedother achievements including holding of National

PRE - 2006 PPO REVISION

Our Struggle in SCOVA &

Outside bears fruit.

See : The GOI in Action Mode.

MINUTES OF THE MEETING HELD ON 3rd Nov,2011 AT NEW DELHI WITH THE OFFICERS OFTHE GOVT DEPTTS/ MINISTRIES REG ISSUEOF REVISED PPOs IN RESPECT OF PRE-2006PENSIONERS / FAMILY PENSIONERS

A meeting was held on 3rd Nov, 2011 at 3:30PM in ICAR Committee Room, Krishi Bhavan,

New Delhi under the Chairmanship of Shri RameshC. Misra, Secretary (Pension, AR&PG) with the

officials of 16 Deptts/Ministries having maximumnumber of pre-2006 pensioners/family pensioners

and the 4 Ministries/Deptts outside the domainof CPAO, viz., Ministries of Defence and Railways

and the Deptts of Telecom and Posts. TheController General of Accounts (CGA), Shri C.R.

Sundaramurati was also available for the meeting.The objective of this meeting was to review the

progress made by various civil and non-civilMinistries and to identify and avoid the bottlenecks

in the process of revision of PPOs in respect ofpre-2006 pensioners.

2. The list* of participants is at Annexure - I.

3. At the outset, the Chairperson welcomed

all the participants and briefed them about thebackground and objective behind convening of this

meeting. The Chairperson expressed concern overthe slow progress made by the Ministries/Deptts

in this regard resulting in delay in the revision ofPPOs. He informed that the matter was last

discussed in the Standing Committee of VoluntaryAgencies (SCOVA) meeting held on 21.9.11. At

that time, the number of revised PPOs issuedfinally by the CPAO was 73,050 as on 5th Sep,

11. In their latest report, the number shown as on20th Oct, 11 is 85,727. The issue of 12,677 revised

authorities during a period of one and a half monthsuggests that there is some improvement.

However, there is scope for improvement.

4. The Chairperson pointed out that out of6,46,872 (total pre-2006 pensioners), there are

1,58,970 pre-1990 pensioners, of which 1,13,029

are from the Ministries/Deptts of the Gol. As perCPAO, there was a pendency of 99.5% in these

cases as on 5th Sep, 2011. A difficulty in respectof pre-1990 cases that has come to the notice is

that for the purpose of determining the quantumof the qualifying service, the date of joining of the

Government servant has been made a mandatoryfield in the CPAO’s software and a revised PPO

cannot be issued if this field is kept blank. Itappears that in the absence of any record, the

pensioners are being asked to supplydocumentary proof in support of the date of joining

declared by them, which some of them are perhapsnot in a position to provide.

5. The Chairperson observed, which was alsoagreed to by the CGA, that the date of joining is

not an important information for calculating thequalifying service as it may be reduced by the

interveninq periods of absence from duty and inany case it has no effect on the determination of

family pension. Therefore, it was decided that dateof joining should not be kept as a mandatory field

in the software. He further added that assuggested in the SCOVA meeting, the Ministries/

Deptts may like to consider augmenting theirmanpower for expeditiously completing this

exercise within a time-frame.

6. The CGA pointed out that the authoritiesconcerned in the administrative Ministries/Deptts

are required to send the updated pension papersto concerned PAOs so that the revised authority

could be forwarded by the PAOs to the CPAO forexpeditious action. He further mentioned that the

role of the CPAO starts only when PAO of theconcerned Ministry/Deptt submits the revised

pension payment authority of the pre-2006Pensioners to the CPAO for onward transmission

to the Banks with the special seal of authority.

7. Thereafter, the status of revision of PPOs

by the Ministries/Deptts was reviewed on thebasis of inputs received from them as well as the

CPAO. A statement received from the CPAO onthe status of revision of pension cases of pre-

2006 pensioners and family pensioners (positionas on 20/10/2011) of the 16 largest Ministries/

Deptts is placed at Annexure A*.

8. As against the figure of total 2,08,511 pre-

2006 pensioners/family pensioners and 38,754number of PPOs shown already revised in the

statement by the CPAO, the representative ofMinistry of Home Affairs (MHA) informed that they

sent 250 PPOs to the concerned PAOs. Therepresentative from the MHA was informed that

they would also have to review the positions ofvarious organizations like BSF, CISF etc. under

them and was asked to come prepared in thenext meeting with all information about all the

units/offices under their administrative control.

9. Ministry of Urban Development pointed out

that response received from the pensioners wasvery poor and they received only 58 applications

from the pensioners/family pensioners so far eventhough CPAO published an advertisement on

3.9.11 across the country. The Chairpersonobserved that the Ministry may put up

advertisement to elicit responses from thepensioners. It was finally decided that the Deptt

of Pension and PW would bring out a model advtnext month which may be used by individual

Ministry/Deptt. The advt may also spell out theutility of the revision of PPO to the individual

pensioner/family pensioner. It was also agreedthat the advt shall also be posted on the web-site

of respective Ministry/Deptt. It is also agreed thatall the Banks may be directed by the Reserve

Bank of India/CPAO to seek details of family fromall pensioners/ family pensioners at the time of

receiving life certificates from them in the monthof November.

10. As against the position indicated in the

statement of the CPAO, Deptt of Atomic Energyinformed that they have completed 55% cases.

They have been writing letters to the pensionersas they have set a target of revising 1000 cases

per month and completing the whole exercisebefore 31st March, 2012. In view of the satisfactory

progress, it was decided not to call the Deptt ofAtomic Energy for review in future.

11. CBEC raised the issue that some of theBanks, especially, PNB is not sending Annexure

III which has been a cause of delay. Age and otherdetails of family pensioners are not available and

therefore the cases cannot be processed further.

CBEC was informed that all the authorities

concerned will accept the attested copies ofdocuments such as Election ID, PAN card,

matriculation certificate, passport, CGHS card,driving licence or the Aadhar card submitted by

the pensioner/family pensioner. However, there maybe cases where the pensioner/family pensioner is

unable to produce any of the above documentsbut has some other documentary evidence. In such

an event, a decision taken by the adrninistrative”Ministry/Department shall be final.

12. Ministry of I & B’s information differed fromthat provided by the CPAO substantially. They

state to have done 1526 cases (16.5%) out of atotal of 9,232 cases as against 1,050 cases (6%)

out of 17,364 shown by the CPAO. It was decidedto review the matter in the next meeting.

13. There was mismatch in figures given by

the Deptt of Economic Affairs, Deptt of Revenue,Ministry of HRD and the Ministry of Agriculture

on the one hand and the CPAO on the other hand.To sort out the matter, it was decided to call all

the Deptts to come with their respective figuresfor more fruitful review in the next meeting.

14. Ministry of Civil Aviation informed that 700cases sent by them to the CPAO were not taken

into account by the CPAO. Further, they areconfident of meeting the deadline of 31st March,

2012 set by them. Keeping the progress madeand the commitment shown, it was decided that

the Ministry of Civil Aviation need not be calledfor the next meeting.

15. Similarly, keeping in the view that morethan 50% cases of the Ministry of Consumer

Affairs, Food and Public Distribution pertain tothe FCI which belong to the IDA pattern, it was

decided that they need not be called for the nextmeeting as their pendency does not need review.

16. Ministry of Rlys informed that they have atotal of 11.81 lakh cases, 8.72 lakh pension cases

and 3.09 lakh family pension cases. They publishedadvertisement in the newspapers and received 3.99

lakh applications out of which 2.68 lakh PPOs havealready been issued. Chairman, Rly Bd has written

PPO REVISION

11BHARAT PENSIONER

February 2012

BUDGET IS THE TIME TO BREAK THE SPELL

The forthcoming budget must put asideneo-liberal policies and increase publicspending on infrastructure and employment

On the face of it, UPA 2 govemment appears

beleaguered. The Supreme Court has cancelled

the 2G licences, thus, negating the telecom

minister Kapil Sibal’s claim that there is no scam

as there is “zero loss to the exchequer” and that,

nothing “irregular” happened. New areas of conflict

have arisen over the age controversy of the army

chief, Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro)

scientists, refuting government claims over the

Antrix scam and IAS officers in Andhra Pradesh

protesting against CBI action against them on

charges of corruption while leaving ruling politicals

alone. Price rise continues to burden people,

distress suicides of farmers continue unabated.

The prime minister himself admitted that the

nutritional status of our children is a “national

shame”. He also bemoaned the sorry state of

affairs in developing scientific research in the

country that is bound to adversely affect our future.

Problems with allies in the UPA keep mounting

with the relentless throwing of tantrums by the

Trinamool Congress.

The confidence that the government is

displaying to brazen out these developments

appears to arise from the comfort it seems to be

drawing from the hope that the results of the

current elections in some states would be in its

favour. It hopes to wrest Uttarakhand and Punjab

from the Opposition, succeed in numerical

manipulations in Goa and Manipur and emerge

as a ‘king maker’ in Uttar Pradesh. The visible

discomfort and disarray in the main opposition -

BJP - and the materialisation of these hopes, the

UPA feels will allow it to ‘ride the storm’.

On this basis, the UPA is preparing to launch

a more aggressive offensive of liberalisation in the

current budget. Even otherwise, under the pretext

of containing the burgeoning fiscal deficit, such

an agenda seems to be on the anvil.

This is happening despite the World Bank’s

recent warning that developing countries. India in

particular, should be prepared for a crisis that will

be on a par or worse than the 2008-09 global

economic meltdown. Its forecasts are significantly

lower than those in June 2011. The global economy

is likely to grow by 2.5% in 2012 and 3.1% in 2013

compared with the forecasts of 3.6% for both years.

The euro zone economy is expected to contract

no longer in individual countries but as a whole,

i.e., decline in real terms in 2012.

Almost simultaneously came The Economist

with Lenin on its cover page sporting a Che

Guevera cigar with the caption “The rise of State

capitalism”. This unabashed apologist of

capitalism and neo-liberalism bemoaned this

model of the emerging world. In an 18-page

supplement mainly covering China, Russia and

Brazil, it states that: “States capitalism is on the

march” and concludes unconvincingly that liberal

capitalism would be better for economic growth,

notwithstanding the current experience. The non-

inclusion of India in this survey is significant for

we are increasingly being correctly seen as ait

emerging ‘cheer leader’ of neo-Iiberalism.

UPA 2 appears all set to bring in crucial

financial reforms in the budget, legislations that

Left parties had prevented from being made into

law for the last seven years. Refusing to learn

from our own experience that preventing the

opening up of our financial sector is what helped

India resist the devastating impact of the global

meltdown in the first place, this government

appears to blind itself to this latest warning by

the World Bank.

The hopes in India that further financial liberalisation

will attract an inflow of foreign funds providing an

impetus for our growth also appear remote with the

World Bank warning that the rich countries had little

monetary or fiscal ammunition available to stem any

vicious cycle of continuing recession.

Making capital available more freely and less

expensively alone cannot spur economic growth. This

can bolster profits. However unless the purchasing

power in the hands of the people rises, sustainable

economic growth would not be possible.

BUDGET

12 BHARAT PENSIONER

February 2012

We had been suggesting repeatedly that instead

of giving staggering amounts of tax concessions to

the rich (nearly ̀ I5 lakh crore during the last three

years), these amounts should be collected and used

for public investments to build our much needed

social and economic infrastructure while generating

large scale employment. The consequent growth of

domestic demand in India is what can sustain a

healthy economic growth which would be more

inclusive as well.

The New York Review of Books recently said:

“How could we have so misread history and treat

with contempt the teachings of John Maynard

KeynesV Remember that post-1930’s Great

Depression, Keynes had advocated active State

intervention (with the express purpose of saving

capitalism from socialism) as the only manner in

which capitalism could achieve full employment

through public investments.

Despite the growing worldwide struggless

against the ongoing capitalist crisis as seen inthe Occupy Wall Street movement, and the

snowballing strikes and protests in almost all

European countries, capitalism and its apologists

like The Economist have a tendency to ignore

the boldest of writings on the wall. Marx said once

said that capitalism “has conjured up such

gigantic means of production and of exchange, it

is like the sorcerer who is no longer able to control

the powers of the nether world whom he has called

up by his spells.” This global capitalist crisis is

systemic. lt is not because of the greed or avarice

of individuals.

Thus, in India, at this moment, it is necessary

that popular pressures are mounted to change

this neo-liberal policy direction and heavily invest

in public spending for building our much needed

infrastructure and generating large-scale

employment. This is the direction that the

forthcoming budget must give for the sake of India,

that is Bharat.

in-charges to visit pensioners for their individual

verification, depute Personnel Inspectors to visitpre-2006 pensioners and get complete information,

create special cells to receive and process theapplications, deputing more staff to complete the

work without further delay. The RBI has also beenrequested to instruct Banks to obtain information

from the pensioners in the month of Nov along withthe life certificates.

17. Ministry of Defence informed that they

were ready with 1 lakh cases out a total of 17lakhs. It was informed that all forms etc. have

been standardized and the process is going topick up speed soon. Deptt of Telecom has revised

15,000 cases out of the total 33,000. Deptt ofPosts has revised 2.21 lakh cases of the total

2,30,743. They expect to clear the 4% pendingcases by 31st Dec, 2011.

18. In view of this, the above-mentioned 4Ministries/Deptt, which are outside the CPAO

network, need not be called for the next meeting.However, they would continue to update the

Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare ofthe progress made from time to time so that

DOP&PW’s data is updated.

19. No one from CBDT, Ministry of Personnel,

Ministry of Mines, the Ministry of Health & FW andthe Deptt of Science & Technology attended the

meeting. The Chairperson instructed that the matterbe taken up with the Chairman, CBDT and the

respective Secretaries of these Ministries/Deptts.

20. In the closing remarks, the Chairperson

re-emphasized the seriousness of the matter anddirected that all the Deptts of the Ministries should

be represented in the next meeting individually.The CPAO will provide the information of each

Deptt separately. The CPAO will also amend thesoftware so that date of joining does not remain a

mandatory field for pre-1990 cases.

The meeting ended with a vote of thanks to

the Chair.

SUBJECT

Pension (Fixation Revision & Disbursement):- Wewant to draw your particular attention to Hon’ble Supreme

Court’s Constitution Bench historic judgement delivered incase of D.S. Nakara on 17-12-1982 and request that it

implemented in letter & spirit. Pensioners should not bedivided on the basis of their date of retirement or otherwise

and a uniform formula be adopted for the revision of all thepension irrespective of Class, Category or Status while in

service, i.e. if a multiplication factor of 3 is given to onesection of pensioners then, by sheer logic, it should be

uniformly adopted for all the Pensioners.

Pension to be net of Income Tax as wasrecommended by the CPC-V vide their Para 167.11-

Inflation is much more than any tax; it erodes the majorpart of already inadequate pension. To enable pensioners,

at the fag end of their lives, to live honourably, they bespared from CPC-V, Pension should be net of income tax.

Merger of DR with pension whenever it goes above50%:- In the case of working personnel, their allowancesautomatically go up by 25% whenever D.A. goes above

50%. As pensioners do not get any allowances, they feelcheated. In order to strike a balance, DR should be merged

with Pension whenever it goes beyond 50%.

Pension to Disabled & sickly pensioners bedisbursed at their residence in accordance withRBI guidelines :- Due to physical/mental disability or onaccount of prolonged sickness, quite a number of

pensioners are unable go to the Pension Disbursing Agency.There are Standing Instructions issued by the Reserve

Bank of India for payment of pension at their residence insuch cases. These Instructions are followed more in breach

than in implementation. However, in actual practice, Bankauthorities avoid doing so causing a lot of inconvenience

and even harassment to the unfortunate disabled or sick.

RAILWAY BD’s REMARKS

Only Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare(DOP&PW), the nodal department of the Government of

India on pensionary matters is competent to take anydecision on the point raised. This Ministry being an

Administrative Ministry in pensionary matters, is boundby the instructions issued by the DOP&PW.

In all matters relating to Income Tax on the Railwayemployees, the Ministry of Railways are guided by the

provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961, rules madethereunder and various instructions issued by the Ministry

of Finance (Central Board of Direct Taxes) from time totime. The Ministry of Finance is the nodal Ministry.

Railways do not have any powers to doanything contrary

to the instructionsissued by the Ministry of Finance inthis regard.

The matter pertains to Deptt of Pension & Pensioners’Welfare, this being a policy matter applicable to all Govt

employees.

As per extant instructions on the subject sick/incapacitatedhandicapped pensioners may draw pension in the

following manner:-a) Pensioners who are too ill to sign a cheque and cannot

be physically present in the bank to withdraw moneyfrom his account but can put his thumb/toe impression on

the cheque/withdrawal form- In this case, the thumb ortoe impression should be identified by two independent

witnesses known to the Bank. One of whom should be aresponsible Bank official.

b) Pensioner who is not only unable to be physicallypresent in the bank but is also not even able to put his

thumb/toe impression on the cheque/withdrawal form dueto certain physical defect/incapacity:- In this case a mark

Family Pension on their turn are facing much hardship,and even harassment, at the hands of the dealing clerical

staff. The reason for this unfortunate situation is therebeing no Standard procedure & Check list to act upon.

There are cases where such dependents have beenrunning from pillar to post for more than a year or even

two to get their Family Pension started. Railway Board isrequested to come to the rescue of these dependent

Unmarried/Widowed/Divorced daughters and the Blind,Physically & Mentally incapacitated Sons of ex. Railway

employees who are no more; it is not only imperative butalso urgent to lay down a standard procedure & the

requisite Check list in respect thereof with a time boundschedule.

Another reason for the delay in such cases often is theinability of the concerned section head to trace the old

records. But we have a simple solution to remedy such aseemingly intractable problem: The same or similar

procedure may be introduced as was adopted in the caseof pre-1986 retirees while revising pension on the basis

of notional fixation of pay as on 1.1.86 in implementationof the Vth CPC recommendation. Thus the RB should issue

definite and specific guidelines as to how to process thecase further when the relevant records are not traceable.

The Administration may in such cases, accept certifiedcopies of relevant documents submitted by the claimants

Harassment Due to delay in issuing revised PPO incase of pre 2006 retirees:- Wef from 1.1.2006, elderlypensioners & family pensioners of age 80 years & above

are entitled to additional pension at ascending rates.

Problems arise in the case of family pensioners wherethere is no mention of age & DOB in the existing PPOs.

The Banks do not entertain their claim to Additional familypension for want of mention of age/DOB in the existing

PPOs. They do not accept Voter I.D. cards etc as proof ofage, on the plea that the Deptt is not providing to them the

subsequent verification & acceptance.

Secondly, in the absence of revised PPOs, Pensioners &Family pensioners are being deprived of the advantage

of the provision that in no case revised Pension shall beless than 50% of the minimum of the Pay Band plus GP,

corresponding to the scale of pay from which thepensioner retired and further that in no case FP shall be

less than 30% of the said corresponding Minimum of PBplus GP. The Railway Board is, therefore, urged to issue

suitable orders prescribing time bound Schedule forissuing revised PPO on revised proforma incorporating

family details & DOB of spouse & dependent familymembers for early issue of revised PPO to all pre 2006

retirees.

daughter beyond 25 years of age of the deceasedrailway servant/pensioner. However, instructionshave recently been issued vide this office letterNo.F(E)II/2007/PN-l/5 dated 20-05-2011(copyenclosed) for expediting the disposal of thepending cases for grant offamily pension towidow/divorced/unmarried daughters anddisabled siblings.

Procedure for grant of family pension to physicallyhandicapped/mentally retired son/daughter isprovided in rule 75(6) of the Railway Services(Pension) Rules, 1993.

As regards the suggestion to introduce similar procedureas was introduced at the time of revising pension on the

basis of notional fixation of pay on 01.01.1996, it is statedthat this Ministry cannot take any unilateral decision in

the matter. The decision, if any, taken by the DOP&PW inthis regard will be followed by this ministry earnestly

Delay in revision of PPOs on Railways is engagingRailways’ concern. Recently Additional Member (Staff)has directed CPOs vide letter No.2008/AC-II/21/20 dt 18-

07-2011 (Copy enclosed) to complete the task of revisionof PPOs in a time bound manner. For this purpose, they

have been asked to take measures like issue ofadvertisement in national and local newspapers inviting

pensioners to apply for revision of their pension, deputePersonnel Inspectors to visit pre-2006 pensioners to get

complete information required to issue revised PPOs,form special cell to receive and process the applications

from pensioners, deputing more staff in the concernedbranches of Personnel Deptt by reallocating the duties

within the existing staff strength to complete the workwithout further delays.

In fact, the matter has been taken up at the highestlevel by CRB through his D.O. letter to GMs forrevision of all remaining PPOs in a time boundmanner. He has also directed Rlys to form teamsof WLIs and Depot In- charges to visit pensionersfor their individual verification.As regards additional pension to pensioners/family

pensioners on attaining the age of 80 years and above,guidelines have also been issued vide this office letter

Income Limit for Dependency be raised to `3500/- +

DR- Income limit for Dependency/ eligibility for SecondaryFP has been raised to Rs.3500/- + DR thereon. As per the

6th CPC recommendations. Clarificatory orders need to beissued urgently as in most of the Divisions the income limit

is being still treated as ̀ 2,550/-.

Ex-gratia for Pre 1986 SRPF beneficiaries & theirfamilies:- Very few (a very small number) of Pre-1986

SRPF(C) beneficiaries are now alive, they are at presentbeing forced to live below poverty line due to meagre ex-

gratia of ` 650 to ` 3000. DR too in the case of familyrecipients is lower by 8% as compared to other pensioners.

Their dependent children i.e. unmarried/widowed/divorceddaughter, mentally, physically & visually disabled sons,

too are being discriminated against by not allowing themthe same entitlement to the meagre ex-gratia on their turn.

Certainly they too are entitled to lead a dignified lifecomparable to their earlier status in younger (working)

days as Rly Employees. Keeping in view the present daycost of living, a highly inflationary regime and humanitarian

factors, they deserve to be considered for another chanceto come over to Pensionary benefits. As the number

involved is very few, it would not cause any appreciablefinancial burden on the Govt.

Payment of enhanced ex-graita to pre 1986 SRPF(C) beneficiaries:-

In Railway Board’s letter No. F(E)III/PN/Ex.Gr./3 dated 15-11-2006

(RBE No. 170/2006) it is laid down that the Head of Office or

Department, which sanctioned the existing ex-gratia payment

authority, shall prepare the revised ex-gratia payment authority at

the enhanced rates, as in, Sub-para l(VII) above suo-motu in lieu of

the said existing authority of Rs.600/-. Revised payment authorities

have not so far been issued by several Divisions with the result a

large number of those beneficiaries are still being paid ex-gratia at the

old rates only. Instructions therefore need to be issued immediately

by the Rly. Bd. For implementation of the above mentioned orders

within a stipulated period and also ask for submission of compliance

report in this regard from concerned authorities.

Revised dependency criteria for grant of familypension has already been communicated to allZonal Railways etc. vide this office letter No.F(E)III/2008/ PN-1 /13 dt 15-09-2008 (Copy enclosed).

In the case of payment of ex-gratia to widows and eligible dependent

children of deceased SRPF (C) optees, this Ministry follows the instructions

issued by the Deptt of Pension and PW, the nodal deptt of the Govt in such

matters and hence, this Ministry cannot take any unilateral decision in the

matter. As regards the demand for giving another chance to the surviving

SRPF beneficiaries to come over to the pension scheme, it is brought out

that the Pension Scheme was introduced on the Rlys on 16-11-1957 with

retrospective effect from 01-04-1957. As per this scheme, the employees

who joined service on and after 16-11-1957 were compulsorily governed

by the Pension Scheme and the employees who were in service

between 01-04-1957 and 16-11-1957 were given an option to come over

to the Pension Scheme. Subsequently, whenever the pension scheme

underwent progression due to recommendations of successive CPC,

etc. the employees who had chosen to remain under SRPF(C) scheme,

were extended further opportunities to come over to the pension scheme.

In all, 12 such options were given, the latest being the one given on the

basis of the recommendations of the 4th CPC, in terms of which, all CPF/

SRPF(C) beneficiaries who where in service on 1.1.1986 were deemed

to have come over to the pension scheme on that date unless they

specifically opted to continue under the CPF/SRPF(C) Scheme. In effect,

the surviving SRPF(C) beneficiaries are, those persons who had

specifically chosen to remain under the SRPF(C) scheme.

The demand of such SRPF(C) beneficiaries for coming over to the Pension

Scheme was considered by the Supreme Court and in their Judgement of

13th July, 1990, it was held that the Govt’s legal obligation in the case of

SRPF(C) retirees ended on their retirement and that SRPF(C) beneficiaries

had received lump sum amount at the time of their retirement. The Vth & Vlth

CPCs did not recommend grant of another option to CPF/SRPF retirees to

switch over to the pension scheme. It may be appreciated that the Ministry

of Rlys being an administrative Ministry is governed by the orders/instructions

issued by the DOP&PW, the nodal deptt of the Government in such matters

and, therefore, cannot take any unilateral decision in the matter.

Details of the cases alongwith the names of the Divisionwho have not issued revised ex-gratia payment authorities

in terms of Board’s letter No.F(E)III/98/PNl/Ex.Gr./3 dated15-11- 2006 (Copy enclosed) need to be furnished to

enable necessary instructions being issued to theconcerned Zonal Railway etc.

Medical attention & treatment:- To issue ‘Smart Card

(on CGHS Pattern) to all RELHS beneficiaries’

It would be necessary to sensitize the Rly Doctors regarding

good behaviour and clinical practices and training forhandling geriatric patients.

In the existing Sr Citizen OPDs in Divisional & Zonal hospitalsthe facility should be strengthened and new OPDs opened

where it does not exist at present. Separate nominated days& time periods be fixed for Specialist consultation so that the

elderly do not have to stand in long queues for long periods &the Doctors are able to pay them adequate attention.

At outstations where H.Us & Lockup Dispensaries exist,

specialized OPD consultations be outsourced with theexisting procedure of dispensing of medicines & referral

through Railway’s Health Units / Lockup Dispensariesthemselves be continued.

In the CGHS, the cost of Smart Card is borne by the Ministry

of Health & FW. Why then should the Rly pensioner bepenalized to pay the cost? The Smart Card would be

immensely popular if the cost thereof Rlys is borne by the Rail

Constitution of multilevel hospital Advisory and GrievancesRedressal Committee with representations of pensioners

representatives on CGHS pattern.

RELHS scheme to be made open-ended for retirees withoutLock-in period and qualifying service of 20 years.

Providing Rest-Room facilities attached to Railway hospitalsfor stay of pensioner and their family members.

A larger number of Hospitals & Diagnostic Centres need to

be recongnized within a radius of 20 Kms from the HealthUnits / Lockup Dispensaries so that elderly patients, for

whom an attendant & even small expenditure is a luxury,are not put to physical & economic strain because of

reference to outstation Hospitals & Diagnostic Centres.

Smart Card scheme for RELHS beneficiaries was

launched as a Pilot Project in NCR Region. The PilotProject was concluded in August, 2011. The result,thereof, and further course of the action on theissue is under detailed study by Rly Bd.

The facilities for both Railway employees andRELHS beneficiaries are under constant review.Wherever the need for upgrading the facilities isfelt, the same is examined on merit andprovisions made. Similarly the days of visit byspecialist in the OPDs are fixed where both theRailway employees and RELHS beneficiaries availthe facilities.

Suggestion is noted.

Remarks against Item No.2(i) above may be seen.

The suggestion is noted.

Relaxing the length of qualifying service for joining RELHS isunder examination and the issue of extending the date of

joining RELHS for pre-2009 retirees is also under examination.

Consequent to the Hon’ble MR’s Budget announcement,Rest-Rooms have been developed in various hospitals

for patients’ attendants.

A Committee has been constituted to make an in-depthstudy and recommend the various details regarding

recognition of non-railway Private Hospital and DiagnosisCenters for specialized treatment of Railway beneficiaries

The item could have been forwarded to DOP & PW

Reference could have been made to DOP & PW

As per Master Circular 63 dt 12.10.95 (reiterated vide

No. E(W)2011/PA-1/4 dated 20.12.2011) Para2.13 onPension Adalat, Pension Adalat at Divisional level is to

be conducted every 3 month interval. Again in filenoting of Rly.Bd, File No 95PA/2 on the subject of

SCOVA page 4 Sl No19 –Receipts Sub:13 SCOVAmeeting held on 2.11.95. Under the title comments it is

recorded “instructions already exist that PensionAdalat should be held once at the zonal Railway/

Production units hqs and once in three months at theDivisional level to redress the grievances of

Pensioners. Again on page 37 of the same file S.No 1Sub: letter received from BPS addressed to CRB – In

Para 3 it is recorded “Pension Adalat is being conductedonce in every year at Zonal level and once in three

months at Divisional level.Para 1 of M.C.63 E9W)95/PA/1 dt 12.10.95 states, “the intention of conducting

Pension Adalat is to examine the grievances ofPensioners so as to redress the same by taking on –

the –spot decisions & to obviate the delays, if any, insettlement of their dues. Such a step would go a long

way in instilling a sense of being cared for and attendedto in the minds of Pensioners and thus dispel their

feeling of neglect & isolation.Settlement of dues against

Reimbursement of Medical expenditure therefore cannotbe excluded from the purview of Pension Adalat. No of

Pensioners/Family Pensioners & their grievances haveconsiderably increased over the past one & a half decade.

In the absence of strict time line & punitive clause,Grievances recorded thru Pensioners Portal “CPENGRAM”

are not being timely resolved by the Rly Admn, quite a noof such grievances are either pending for over two years

or have been unilaterally closed w/o resolving. SCOVAmeetings too are at best once a year. An year is too long

a time for the pensioners who have outlived the normallife expectancy of 67 years.Thus keeping up the spirit of

M.C. 63, scope & periodicity need to be increased urgently.

A Pensioners’ Cell with a Nodal officer at the Boardlevel too needs to be nominated.

DOP &PW has since issued detailed instruction vide their

No1/16/2011-P &PW(E) dtd 8/12/2011. These instructionsneed to be implemented over Indian Railways

Item could have been referred to DOP &PW.

Smart Card scheme for RELHS beneficiaries which was

launched as a Pilot Project in NCR region in 2008 remainedoperative for hardly three to four months during

2008,2009,2010 & 2011 & suffered with severaldeficiencies like : (i) Only three Medical Emergencies i.e

cardiac, cancer & dialysis were covered. Genl MedicalEmergencies & Neurology were left out. (ii) Though the

Smart Card was supposed to be covering the NCR regionyet only the hospitals located in Delhi were included. Even

the hospitals on panel for emergency treatment in otherNCR towns were left out. (iii) Poor response from hospitals

was mainly because of hassles in bill payment. As suchcorrect assessment may not be possible.

Matter needs to be reconsidered in the light of National

Policy on Older Persons (NPOP)
