Sir,

       A kind reference is invited to the OMs cited above wherein the procedure for revision of pension/ family pension has been evolved. It has been categorically stated in the reference (1) OM that revision  is to be done by the Departments from where the pensioners had retired. In order to avoid any ambiguity or confusion, as to the modalities of revision it had been emphasised and reiterated in the references 2, 3 and 4 that the revision of pension should be done suo moto by the Departments concerned without eliciting or collecting any information / details from the pensioners. In the reference 4^th cited Government have directed “to sensitise the official dealing with pension cases to suo moto process the pension revision cases of pre-2016 pensioners / family pensioners forth with based on details available with Head of Office /PAOs without insisting submissions of any additional information or documents  from them.” In spite of specific directions / orders some departments like Railways, Audit and Accounts Department, Defence Civilians etc. are calling for details regarding pay, pay scale and pension from the pensioners and family pensioners causing difficulties and embarrassment to the pensioners / family pensioners. Southern Railway has gone to the extent of publishing an Advertisement in several newspapers asking to details in a Proforma within a period of 30 days. It is really surprising how the Departments can go against the letter and spirit of the unambiguous orders of the Government of India. This Association apprehends that such procedure will result in delay /procrastination in the revision and authorization of pension /family pension. We would therefore request the Government to kindly issue strict instruction to all the Departments to comply scrupulously with the earlier orders of the Government and to expedite the process of revision of pension / family pension.

           

Thanking you,                                                                                                        yours faithfully

Cabinet approves modifications in the 7th CPC recommendations on pay and pensionary benefits

The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi approved important proposals relating to modifications in the 7th CPC (Central Pay Commission) recommendations on pay and pensionary benefits in the course of their implementation. Earlier, in June, 2016, the Cabinet had approved implementation of the recommendations with an additional financial outgo of Rs 84,933 crore for 2016-17 (including arrears for 2 months of 2015-16).

The benefit of the proposed modifications will be available with effect from 1st January, 2016, i.e., the date of implementation of 7th CPC recommendations. With the increase approved by the Cabinet, the annual pension bill alone of the Central Government is likely to be Rs.1,76,071 crore.  Some of the important decisions of the Cabinet are mentioned below:

1.        Revision of pension of pre – 2016 pensioners and family pensioners

The Cabinet approved modifications in the recommendations of the 7th CPC relating to the method of revision of pension of pre-2016 pensioners and family pensioners based on suggestions made by the Committee chaired by Secretary (Pensions) constituted with the approval of the Cabinet.  The modified formulation of pension revision approved by the Cabinet will entail an additional benefit to the pensioners and an additional expenditure of approximately Rs.5031 crore for 2016-17 over and above the expenditure already incurred in revision of pension as per the second formulation based on fitment factor.  It will benefit over 55 lakh pre-2016 civil and defence pensioners and family pensioners.

While approving the implementation of the 7th CPC recommendations on 29th June, 2016, the Cabinet had approved the changed method of pension revision recommended by the 7th CPC for pre-2016 pensioners, comprising of two alternative formulations, subject to the feasibility of the first formulation which was to be examined by the Committee.

In terms of the Cabinet decision, pensions of pre-2016 pensioners were revised as per the second formulation multiplying existing pension by a fitment factor of 2.57, though the pensioners were to be given the option of choosing the more beneficial of the two formulations as per the 7th CPC recommendations.

In order to provide the more beneficial option to the pensioners, Cabinet has accepted the recommendations of the Committee, which has suggested revision of pension based on information contained in the Pension Payment Order (PPO) issued to every pensioner.  The revised procedure of fixation of notional pay is more scientific, rational and implementable in all the cases.  The Committee reached its findings based on an analysis of hundreds of live pension cases.  The modified formulation will be beneficial to more pensioners than the first formulation recommended by the 7th CPC, which was not found to be feasible to implement on account of non-availability of records in a large number of cases and was also found to be prone to several anomalies.

DEARNESS RELIEF FROM 01-01-2017

CGPA/KL/GL/2017/18              dated            15-02-2017

To

Shri. Arun Jaitely

Hon’ble Union Minister for Finance

North Block, New Delhi - 110 001

Sub:   Budget proposals 2017-18 – Personal Income Tax- Additional burden on certain low income senior citizens

Respected Sir,

          This Association appreciates the approach of the Government to reduce the burden of taxation of honest tax payers and salaried persons who are showing their income correctly. We also consider that your proposal “to reduce the existing rate of taxation for individual assessees between income of        Rs. 2.5 lakh to Rs. 5 lakh  to 5% from the present rate of 10%” is a welcome step in the right direction. Your claim is that “this would reduce the tax liability of all persons below Rs. 5 lakh income either to zero (with rebate) or their existing liability.” In order not to have duplication of benefit, the existing benefit of rebate available to the same group of beneficiaries is being reduced to Rs. 2500/- available only to assessees upto  income of Rs. 3.5 lakhs (Para 174 of the budget speech).

            We may submit that your present proposal actually increases the tax burden of senior citizens who are in the income bracket of Rs. 3, 50,010/- to Rs. 3,99,990/- though the intention of your proposal is to reduce the tax liability of all persons below Rs. 5 lakh income. For example, the tax liability for a senior citizen having an income of Rs. 3,50,010/- during the F.Y.2016-17 is Re. 1/- only whereas the tax liability for the same person during the F.Y.2017-18 would be Rs. 2576/-  (including the education cess). We may also bring to your notice that the senior citizens have little scope to avail the concession under section 80(C). We earnestly believe that the Hon’ble Finance Minister would not have anticipated this anomalous position.

          As the intention of the Government is to “reduce the tax liability of all persons below Rs. 5 lakh income,” this Association requests you to be gracious to revisit the proposal and amend it to extend the tax rebate of Rs. 2500/- to all persons having a taxable income below Rs. 5 lakhs.

Thanking you,                                                                                               yours faithfully
