ISRO Pensioner -July 2019 issue

The 2019 July issue of ISRO Pensioner ( Journal of ISRO Pensioners' Association ) is released.

It contains a lot of  information for ISRO Pensioners.

Down-grading Sci/Engr SFs

Now that the revision of 7CPC Pension of SD to SG grades are on, there's lot of relief for them !  They leave the rest of 2 increments to the Lord !! May the Lord be favorable to us !

But, right now, there is a hidden down grading of some !  particularly Engr SFs.

Regarding CHSS ,  Sci/Engr SFs were in Level 4.  But now, most of them with lesser number of increments in their pay are not in Level 4  !  They are  downgraded to Level 3 !

Requests all in this category to assess their position and respond.

Revised PPOs , without 2 increments

Finally ,  ISRO shows a bit of kindness to their parents ! 

They are processing the Revised Pension (as per 7 CPC ) Orders ( ignoring 2 Additional Increments ). Remember, this is for those Engineers in SD to SG grades, who had +2 increments.

The CPAO reports that the revised PPOs are on their way to the respective CPPCs !

Let's wait for some more time, to get it fruitful.

You can check your revised PPO status at CPAO. Click below. No registration necessary, but enter your PPO number.

CPAO

There's a link  "See Your PPO Status. Please Enter PPO Number:  "

BUT.....

You are to get a copy of the Revised Pension Order from ISRO (which they sent to CPAO for approval).
Secondly, you are to get the revised PPO from CPAO, Delhi.
Thirdly, your Pension paying Bank will get you the arrears.

Watch out for the steps !!

ISRO shining

Congratulations ISRO ! We are really proud of you !!  We  are happy, because you are our baby !!!

ISRO, you are shining up above the world so high,
Like the Cullinan diamond in the sky !

A Good News

Finally, our Dept has decided to process the pension cases, without considering the +2 increments. The relevant para of the Om dt 24-5-2019 is given below. 



Sub:  Two additional increments granted to Scientists/Engineers in
the grade of SD, SE, SF and SG for the purpose of pensionary
benefits.

Earth, Moon, Mars, and now to Venus

Congratulations ISRO.  We all wish you the best. And we are confident that you will win. After all, you are on a very safe and  sound base, which we all built for you.  You add on to it and win... win... and win always.

But why do you forget  your  seniors who built them for you ?  This is not humane.  Please do justice to us, and give us the right Pension as per 7CPC and Court orders. We don't expect anything else, and no favors.  

This deed of justice would take a minute for the decision by Chairman ISRO and a day's work by a few Admn staff. Can't that be done before you go to Moon next time ?
