BHARAT PENSIONERS’ SAMAJ
Resolutions
adopted by the Central Managing Committee of Bharat Pensioners Samaj New
Delhi In
its meeting held on 14.4.2013 at New Delhi.
Resolution
No.1
There is serious unrest amongst the Central
Government Employees as well as Pensioners due to the inordinate delay in
releasing the additional installment of 8% D.A. /D.R. due to them from
1.1.2013. The Managing Committee of BPS calls upon the Government of India to
take early steps to release the above installment without any further delay to
avoid further hardship to the employees and pensioners. In the normal course, it ought to have been released along with the
monthly payment of March 2013.
Resolution No.2
There
is relentless inflation in the country’s economy for the last several years due
to which there is steep erosion in the real values of salary and pension of
employees as well as pensioners, exposing them to undue financial hardships.
This meeting urges on the Government to take early steps to grant 50% D.A. /
D.R. merger benefit pending appointment 7th Central Pay Commission
for Revision of employees and pensioners as well.
Resolution No.3
The
Hon’ble Principal Bench Central Administrative Tribunal New Delhi have in their
order dated 1.11.21011 directed the
Central Government to implement modified parity to all the pre-2006 pensioners / family pensioners correctly as
per 6th CPC recommendations and as accepted by the Government and to
pay the arrears thereof wef 1.1.2006 to all the eligible persons. The government, issued orders vide their OM
28.1.2013 implementing the benefit from 24.9.2012. These are orders are not only at variance with the afore mentioned principal
bench order but also violative of the Art.14 of the Constitution of India. This meeting, therefore, urges on the central government to
give effect to their OM dated 28.1.2013 with retrospective effect from 1.1.2006
and do justice to all the C.G. pensioners in this regard.
Resolution No.4
In
the table enclosed by the Government as an Annexure to O.M. dated 28.1.2013,
the Grade Pays actually implemented to certain posts wef 1.1.2006 have not been
taken for the purpose of modified parity for those who retired in the pre-revised
corresponding posts prior to 1.1.2006.
In the case of S-13 while grade pay implemented wef 1.1.2006 is @
Rs.4600/- for this the grade pay shown in table for Pre-2006 pensioners is @
Rs.4200. This has created unwarranted unjustified imbalance between those who
retired prior to and after
1.1.2006. The same has happened in
respect of several other posts. The
Hon’ble Principal Bench CAT New Delhi in
para 29 of their dated 1.11.2011 had clearly observed that the improved
benefits granted by the government than what was recommended by the Pay
Commission should be taken into account for purpose of modified parity. This meeting urges the Government to take
improved / higher grades and grade pays actually implemented for corresponding
posts wef 1.1.2006 for working out modified parity to Pre-2006 who retired from
the same or equivalent posts at their respective date(s) of retirement and to
ensure that modified parity orders are correctly implemented.
Resolution No. 5
Bharat
Pensioners’ Samaj has made series of representations urging the government to
extend the same fitment benefit as is
given to the existing employees for revision of their revised pay wef
1.1.2006 also to pensioners and to adopt the following formulae for the
revision of pensions of pre-1.1.2006 pensioners i.e., basic pension +86% DR+
50% grade pay and in the alternative to
extend one and the same factor for revision of pension to the entire pre-2006 pensioners who are a
homogenous group. The Samaj has been
raising this issue in various Fora without any tangible result. The committee has, therefore, decided to
explore the legal options also for achieving the above demands and also
authorized the Secretary General to take early necessary steps on the above
directions.
Resolution No. 6
The
Railway Board has issued orders vide their Order No.2007/H/28/1/RELHS/Smart
card dated 18.7.2012 for issue of Smart Cards to RELHS 97
beneficiaries residing at Zonal Head Quarters, State Capitals and Metros. These
orders have not been implemented so far in many zonal railways for one reason
or the other. This meeting urges on the
concerned authorities to take early steps to implement the above orders as many
RELHS beneficiaries eligible for the above benefit are not able to avail
themselves the said benefit

Non-CGHS areas are not able to avail
