6CPC and OROP Arrears - Brig CS Vidyasagar

Dear Smt Damayanthi Garu,

1.         I am sure you must be fed up with my mails. One more request is, Madam, I am getting too many complaints from members and non – members of our organisation Tri Services Ex-Servicemen Welfare Association (TSEWA) that they have not received their 6th CPC arrears necessitated by Circular 547 for JCOs & OR, by Circular 548 for Officers and also OROP arrears. The reason for non – remittance of such arrears is banks do not have qualifying service or group (for JCOs & OR). Unless banks have this information, arrears cannot be worked out as their software will not generate arrears sheet.

2.         This fact that some of the Ex-Servicemen and most of the family pensioners may not have the data i.e. qualifying service or Group (X or Y). This is known to PCDA (Pensions) Allahabad only. They advised banks to send details of such pensioners. My meeting with heads of CPPC, SBI, SBH and Andhra Bank in Hyderabad tells me that banks have duly notified personnel whose qualifying service and Group are not available with them and sought the same from PCDA (P) Allahabad. More than two months have passed yet PCDA (P) Allahabad has not furnished the information to the banks.

3          Banks are getting bad name for no reason whatsoever. Madam, one cursory look at any PPO of old pensioners who retired in early 1980s or late 1970s tell us that other than rank, name, pension, DCRG sanctioned, PDA, nothing more is mentioned in PPO of those days. Even wife’s name is not there. Could not PCDA (P) Allahabad digitise all original PPOs to know whose qualifying service and Group are not there in the PPO? Then list of such pensioners could have been easily made and the missing data could have been obtained either from PCDA (O) Pune for Army officers or from Record Offices for JCOs/OR or from Army HQ, AGs Branch (MP 5/6) and DGAFMS office for Officers.

4.         May I therefore request your indulgence to give suitable instructions to all PSAs to immediately furnish details of qualifying service and group to all those pensioners whose data is not included in original PPOs and send a copy to concerned pensioners for their records. This will help CPPCs to work out arrears of 6th CPC & OROP and remit the same to the pensioners without any further delay.

Regards,

Brig CS Vidyasagar (Rtd)
