A pat for the PAT, and the ongoing PAT*

There's a  PAT* going on !  It's the Pensioners' Assiduity Test that's going on !! 

Any idea for anyone  about our Pension revisions ??  I don't have !! That's  how our mother ISRO does the PAT with its Pensioners.

{  Assiduity means Patience }


As many pensioners rightly quote, " You dont need Rocket Science to set right pension revisions ".
I hope ISRO listens !

A pat for the PAT

ISROfef is very very happy to learn this great step !   Congratulations ISRO !!

Read the news item in TheHindu, today.

It's a pat on our younger brothers and sisters at ISRO.  

Two increments and Too many problems

All of the ISRO Pensioners, who retired in the  levels of SD to SG, before 2016 ,  are in problem. They have not  got the 7CPC revised pension yet.  The issue, according to our pension Cell (VSSC) is,  related to the  ADDITIONAL TWO INCREMENTS !

The grapewine is that the revision is being shuttled between VSSC, ISRO-HQ, and CPAO ( Fin Ministry). And no one so far has indicated any probable date of  clarifications and settlement of the issue .

Two increnets makes too many problems !    But the fact is clear ... No one is really interested to pursue / speed up  actions.  We, poor Pensioners are left with only one choice !  Wait for the mercy of our  mother ISRO, however long its going to be !!
