Retired Central govt employees not getting revised pension



Resentment is prevailing among the retired railway employees as they are not getting the revised pension as per the recommendations of Sixth Pay Commission, asserted SK Singh, president of United Forum of Pensioners Association while addressing a meeting on Saturday.

He also said that retired employees of many Central government departments are not getting the revised pension due to the callous attitude of the authorities concerned.

He said that though the retired employees have been given the revised pension payment order (PPO) but the pensions have not been revised. The railway authorities have given assurance that all the works relating to the revision of pension would be completed by August but two months have passed and nothing has been done in this regard.

Another leader of the association Mobin Khan said that some of the retired employees have fixed the date of the marriage of their daughters, hoping that revised pension would come in handy. The retired employees have been forced to grapple with financial problems.

RBS Yadav, joint secretary of BSNL retired employees association asserted that resentment is brewing among the BSNL employees as they have not been paid industrial dearness allowance (IDA). Jordan H, district secretary of of the organisation said that the demand for merger of 50 per cent dearness allowance with the basic salary has not been implemented for the persons retired between October 2000 to December 2006.

KC Gupta, general secretary of United Forum of Pensioners Association said that the retired employees are united to fight for their problems. He informed that Pensioners Day would be observed on December 17 and urged the members to participate in the programme.
