It covered among other issues 1) Framing the terms of reference of 7th Pay Commission by the Government with the issue of the Pensioners for protecting the parity of pension between the past, present and future pensioners and that the need for close cooperation between the Pensioners Organisations and the JCM National Council Organisations to ensure inclusion of this issue in the terms of reference; 2) Since the PFRDA legislation adopted by the Parliament is against the spirit of the Supreme court judgment that declared the right to pension as a fundamental right, the anti-worker and anti-pensioner law must be withdrawn by the Government; 3) The Defined Pension Scheme must be extended to all government employees recruited on or after 1.1.2004 and the three lakhs of Postal Gramin Dak Sewaks must also be brought under the Defined Pension Scheme and 50% of service rendered by Casual Labourers should be counted for Pension; for the GDS who are recruited as Postman or MTS should be give full benefit of GDS service for pension; 4) The anomalies between the pension fixation for pensioners and pay fixation for employees by the 6th CPC are to be removed and the National Anomaly committee should come forward quickly to sort out all the pension anomalies arose after implementation of 6th CPC; 5) The action of Central Government in filing a revision petition to contest the verdict of the Delhi Principal Bench of CAT on issues of pre-2006 pensioners after losing the case in all the Courts up to the Supreme Court earlier is retrograde and therefore the Government should immediately withdraw the revision petition and implement the Delhi CAT judgment w.e.f 1.1.2006; 6) The Government should come forward to take the highest pay scale of the different merged pay scales by Pay Commissions for determining the minimum pension to Pensioners; 7) The Government should take a quick decision on the item pending in the National Council for extending the benefit of MACP w.e.f 1.1.2006 for those retired between 1.1.2006 and 31.08.2008 and also to modify the MACP Scheme in accordance with the judgment of Jodhpur CAT for granting the I, II & III MACP in the higher cadre to which the official has been elevated on the basis of ‘Selection’ and not on the basis of seniority-cum-fitness; 8) In the background of revision of percentage of commutation by the 6thCPC, the Government should come forward to revise the period of commutation from 15 years to 12 years keeping the spirit of judgment of Supreme Court to protect the pensioners from incurring heavy loss to the tune of several thousands of rupees; 9) Instead of referring the issue of merger of 50% DA and DR with basic pay / besic pension from 1.1.2011 to the 7th CPC, the Government should come forward to do so before constituting the 7th Pay Commission; 10) House Rent Allowance, Leave Travel Concession, Festival Advance, Right to allotment of vacant Staff Quarters for accommodation should be granted to Pensioners; 11) In the pattern of Tamilnadu State Government a scheme of Pensioner’s Family Relief Fund should be formulated for the Central Government Pensioners also and on the death of a pensioner the family shall be granted a sum of 1,00,000/- as relief; 12) The adamancy of Government to deny to enhance the FMA to at least of 1200/- per month and enhancing to a meagre amount of 300/- per month in the background of high prices of medicines and consultation fees should be given up and a realistic stand in commensurate with the market realities on enhancement of FMA should be taken by the Government; 13) The Government’s approach of killing the CGHS slowly and converting the whole system into a system of medical insurance is retrograde; the Government should revise their stand and come forward to establish CGHS wellness centres in all district centres in the country as well as earmark at least one quality hospital in each district for cashless medical treatment to pensioners by expanding the CGHS through adequate budgetary allocations and bring all the desiring Pensioners under the ambit of CGHS without any distinction or discrimination; and 14) The order of the Government for issue of photo identity cards to Pensioners by the respective department should be further liberalised to ensure free issue of identity cards to all pensioners without insisting to bear the cost of identity card preparation; 15) The Government should impelement all judgments in favour of Pensioners without unnecessarily appealing in higher courts and should extend the benefit for all similarly placed pensioners.
In addition to the above resolutions, some more resolutions on pensioners demands were moved by the Delegates in the Conference which are being wetted by the Secretariat of the State Organisation for processing and they will be published later.
