A brief explanation
Fifth CPC
recommended fitment benefit of 20%. After negotiation with Union leaders the
Govt raised it to 40%. But, the 6th CPC did not suggest any such
fitment formula. Instead, the 6th CPC introduced Grade Pay. For the
pay scale of 6500-10500 the Grade Pay originally suggested in 2008 was Rs 4200.
In November 2009 it was raised to Rs 4600. Again in 2013 and 2016
also when Concordance Tables were circulated the Grade Pay for the above Scale
was erroneously shown as Rs. 4200. Some people approached the
Court. CAT Bangalore, on 18th June 2018, ordered that Rs 4600 should be
taken into account as Gr. Pay or the said pay scale.
Now, the order
is issued honouring that judgement. But the order talks about minimum
pension only. What about revising the pension of all those who were
in the scale of 6500-10500, drawing more than the minimum? The
order gives scope for further doubts, clarifications and more
cases. Let us wait and see how the pension is going to be revised
in such cases.
Note: The above
is applicable only to DoT Pensioners who were getting Grade Pay. There
was no grade pay in BSNL.
