Thank GOD, and let's see what happens !

Revision of Pension : O/o AG, Kerala

I have a news here, quoting from a paper report (Hindu dt 7-1-09).

" ..... the Pension and Family pension of employees retired prior to Jan 1, 2006, are being revised by the respective drawing unit. In order to rectify the defects , if any, in the revision, and also to update the family pension, all pensioners and Family pensioners of the above mentioned category are to apply to the AG (A&E) in the prescribed form. ... "

This is yet another proof that the authorities do not give appropriate care and consideration to the pensioners. The message is that, unless the pensioner runs behind the authorities with written applications, his/her pension would not be revised or rectified. The fact remains that the authorities have all necessary data , and they can very well make the revisions precisely and timely and pay the pensioners. Then why the poor old pensioners are made to run behind them ?

The second message is that I appreciate the office of the AG. They are atleast concerned about their previous employees. That's why they made an announcement, asking the pensioners to point out revision needs. THANK YOU ... that's a good gesture.

The third is that many other Organisations are not at all concerned with their pensioners. All those pensioners are made to run to get their pensions revised. And yet, they did not make any effort to communicate on the revisions to their ex-employees.

I reserve my words to make any further comments.
