Constant Attendance Allowance Hiked

Constant Attendance Allowance Hiked

The constant attendant allowance given to a retired employee has increased to Rs 6,750 per month from the existing Rs 4,500, by an official OM issued now. This is effective from 1-7-2017.

The allowance is sanctioned if, in the opinion of a competent medical authority, a 100 per cent disabled retired employee needs the services of a constant attendant for at least three months.

Accordingly, the allowance has been hiked from Rs 4,500 to Rs 6,750 per month, said the order issued by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions.

History from Dr. Geoge Joseph

These are the days of creating History !  ISRO certainly creates history the every other day, and we all are really proud of it.
Former top guns too, it looks, are busy in creating history through their autobiograhy. The latest in the list is  Dr. George Joseph, former Director , SAC. This is more of a Technical one than his Autobiography.  Hats off to you sir !!
