AIBSNLPWA TN CIRCLE

Pension Adalat at Chennai on 22/9/2017

(Report by D.Gopalakrishnan)

As notified earlier, it was held in Hall of Inspiration under the chairmanship of Dr Niranjana, PCCA, TN between 1030 & 1230.

Dy.CCA Shri C.Sankarapandi informed that 226 grievances were received for this adalat out of which 217 are settled (almost all about non-receipt of 78.2 arrears or change of address).

From our Association Coms D.Gopalakrishnan, V.Ramarao, D.Anbalagan (Puducherry), S.Thangaraj (Vellore), R.Thiruvenkadasamy (Coimbatore), D.S.Ramalingam, S.Narasimhan, N.Mohan, Sundarakrishnan (STR) attended. From Chennai Telephone District side, Coms.M.Govindarajan, Moorthy etc attended the adalath.

It was informed that till date authority was issued for 16,845 pensioners for 78.2 pension arrears.  On our request in Thanjavur Adalat O/o PCCA exhibited the names of the beneficiaries and we thanked them.  But we pointed out that since it is asper date of dispatch, it is difficult to find out the name and we suggested that it can be either according to PPO number in ascending order or name of the pensioner alphabetically.  It was agreed to put alphabetically. 

We wanted to discuss the issue of due pension of Com G.Palani (Vellore SSA) whose pension was not fixed asper para 4.2 of DoT OM dated 15/3/2011.  We also wanted to discuss the issue of pension revision of CDA pensioners on the basis of ‘Notional LPD’ asper DoP&PW OM dated 12/5/2017.  It was informed that these two cases can be discussed in the next monthly meeting with Jt.CCA (Pension). 

We also pointed out that though the pensioners are intimating the change of address it is corrected only in the system and not in the files.  We were informed that now that mistake is rectified and now corrections are carried out in the files also. 

We told that PCCA should convene a meeting of Bank representatives without further delay because there is undue delay on the part of banks and we should also be invited for the meeting for necessary interaction. 

On behalf of our Circle we gave 8 cases for this Adalat and the outcome is given below:-

      1. P Namachivayam – change of name of spouse – Letter was sent to CGM, STR on 5/9/2017 for necessary action

     4.  Sundaram – Payment of additional commuted value of pension based on revised pay fixation (3% increment) w.e.f. 1/1/2007 – LPC called for from Pondicherry SSA not received.  On receipt of LPC, the case will be processed
      5. Silvia D/o Late M Reeta – Re-authorisation of family pension – Service book called for from Pondicherry SSA on 5/9/2017
      6.  Lakshmi W/o M Muthulingam – Grant of pension revision and authorization of dual family pension – Wanted documents were called for on 1/7/2016 itself.  Com Anbalagan informed that it was sent on 2/8/2016 itself.  Dy.CCA agreed to look into it.
     7.    P Lakshmanan – Delinking of 33 years of service and payment of pension – The pensioner is drawing more than 50% of the minimum of scale of pay corresponding to the pre-revised scale.  Hence further revision does not arise.
      8.   Kathirvelu – Revision of Pension – Authority was issued on 21/4/2017

While thanking all, Com DG told that the next Adalat may be held early and it should be centralized one as before.
