Pre-2006 with less than 33 years service

This news is being repeated here, as many of the Pre-2006 pensioners are still not aware of this GOOD NEWS.

Pension for those with less than 33 years of service is calculated pro-rata. CAT (Ernakulam) in its judgement ref:  O No. 715/2012 and 1051/2012 dt 16-8-2013 had asked the Govt to rectify the anomaly.
When the pension (of Pre-2006) is calculated pro-rata, if the amount is less than 50% of the revised pay + grade pay, the higher of the two is to be paid.

Govt appealed against this. Hon'ble Kerala High Court rejected this on 7-1-2014. Later, the Hon'ble Supre Court also rejected the Govt's appeal, on 20-2-2015.

This means that , Pre-2006 pensioners  with less than 33 years of service also are eligible for pension at 50% of Revised Min pay in PayBand + Grade Pay.

{ Now , all Pre-2006 pensioners (of the same Pay Band) , with 20 years or 33 years or more service will get the same pension.   This is another anomaly. Let's hope that Govt will rectify this by implementing the FULL PARITY !
