GOVERNMENT’S
REJECTION OF OPTION 1 (BASED ON
INCREMENT METHOD) OF 7TH CPC
HAS BEEN CHALLENGED BY THE CENTRAL GOVT SAG (S-29) PENSIONERS ASSOCIATION; OA
FILED IN CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL, (PRINCIPAL BENCH) NEW DELHI.
The
Governments’ rejection of option 1 (based on Increments Method), recommended by the 7th CPC in Para 10.1.67 of its Report, has been challenged
by the Central Government SAG (S-29) Pensioners Association in an OA (Original
Application) filed by them before the Central Administrative Tribunal,
(Principal Bench) New Delhi.
Notice has been issued to Union of
India and the next date has been fixed on 27th July, 2018. This is the first such case to be
filed on this issue.
It may be mentioned that this
Association had played a pioneering role, right up to the Supreme Court, in
restoring of modified parity recommended by the Sixth Pay Commission and
accepted by the Govt. at first but later on unjustly denied for fixation of the
minimum pension of pre-2006 pensioners at minimum of the Pay in the Pay Band
plus Grade Pay thereon corresponding to the Pay Scale from which the Pensioner
had retired. This case had benefitted a very large number of Pre-2006
Pensioners.
