Pensioners Post Getting Ready!

Pensioners Post 'May' issue getting ready!

Comrades! Layout of 'May' issue of PP is over and gone to print. The despatch is again on 25th May. All are reminded to undertake a campaign to enroll subscribers @ 120/- for a year as more enrollment alone can help bringing the issue uninterrupted! Advertisements are welcome and we are ready to have Advertisement Agents too at attractive commission. Interested comrades can approach by email pensionerspost @gmail.com with their desired terms!

The front wrapper of May issue is here:

Aadhaar Seeding with Pension Payment Banks

Special Aadhaar Seeding and Registration 

Camp for Pensioners

The Central Government has announced a Special Aadhaar Seeding and Registration Camp for Pensioners in their own bank branches where they draw their pension. It is announced that with the Aadhaar Card registered with the bank, the Pensiones need not physically go to the bank every November for submitting the Life Certificate; It can be done online from home or from the nearest branch of the same bank. This can be done from anywhere in the country or from the world.

AIPRPA is writing to the Pension Ministry to point out the usual omission in the order viz., every time any such order issued the mention of POSB is either inadvertently omitted or left out and the Pensioners drawing pension from the POSB are told that since POSB is not mentioned the same is not applicable to Post Office SB branches! This discrepancy is being addressed.


The announcement of the Government is as follows:

Sub: Delay in Refixation of Pension to Pre-2006 Pensioners with less than 33 years of qualifying service – regarding.

            Ref: Department of Pension & PW OM No. 38/37/08-P&PW (A) Dated 6.4.2016.

Sir,
            This is to bring to your kind notice that despite the issuance of orders by the Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare cited under reference for the grant of full pension instead of prorata pension for those Pre-2006 pensioners, no action seems to have been initiated by the Postal Authorities for re-fixing the pension to such pensioners so far. It is learnt that in the absence of endorsement of the orders of the DoP&PW by the Postal Directorate is cited as the reason for not initiating any action on the matter by the Postal Audit Authorities.

            This is also worth mentioning here that some important orders of the Pension Ministry are not immediately endorsed by the Postal Directorate in the past also. To cite an example, the orders of FMA Revision from 300/- to 500/- was inordinately delayed by the Postal Directorate. Now the present orders on grant of full pension to Pre-2006 is also not endorsed in time by the Postal Directorate. This type of avoidable delay on the part of the Postal Directorate is causing much strain on the Postal Pensioners as they are forced to wait longer to get justice, despite orders by the Government of India.

            We therefore urge upon you to kindly intervene to cause to issue the endorsement orders immediately with instructions for grant of revised pension w.e.f. 1.1.2006 suo-moto without any need for personal representations from the pensioners. Such a move will give benefits to thousands of eligible Pre-2006 Pensioners with less than 33 years of service.

           An early action is highly solicited.                                  Yours faithfully,
                                                                                                                                                                                                                        (R.N. Parashar)
