CHARTER OF DEMANDS OF CENGO INDIA FOR PENSIONERS.
A study has established that 6th CPC based increase in pension has not
been uniform for all pay scales as compared to the scales of 5thCPC. It
has been observed that at the lower level, the increase in pension has
been much lower. In respect of PB-1, the increase in pension was 1.86%
over 5th CPC scales (5200 is 1.86% of 2750 the lowest of corresponding
5th CPC scale), in case of PB-2 the situation is same (1.86%), whereas
in the case of PB-4, it is 2,6%, and in higher scales HAG, it ranges
minimum 3% and more. We seek equitable and uniform increase in all
cases.
Pension calculation formula should be simple & uniform. It should be
directly related to last pay drawn with simple equation such as 50% of
last basic pay plus DR and family pension 30% of last basic pay plus DR.
For pre 2016 pensioners notional pay fixation should be done &
there should be common multiplication factor for all the pensioners.
1. Merger of 50% DR with basic pension w.e.f 1st Jan 2014. Presently DR
is 90% and from 1st Jan, 14 is expected to be above 10%.
2. We seek full parity between past and future retirees. Any improvement
in service conditions introduced for serving employees, such as full
pension at 10/20 years service must be extended to past
pensioners/retirees.
2. We seek Old age pension to start from the age of 65 years, as is the
case in Punjab and some other states and additional pension should be
granted on yearly basis instead of five years.
3. The rates of pension should be minimum 60% of last pay drawn, and that of Family pension
4. The distinction between organized cadres and others must be done away
with. All employees of central Govt. must be treated equally, and any
incentive, such as NFU must be extended to all similarly placed
personnel.
5. Pensioners must be provided with adequate Medical facilities by
providing medical insurance cover and enlarging the coverage of private
empanelled hospitals and by appointing medical specialists. If need be
retired medical specialists may be appointed in CGHS Dispensaries.
6. LTC Facility be provided to the pensioners on the pattern of Punjab Government rules.
7. Enhanced of Fixed Medical Allowance (FMA) from present Rs.300 to
Rs.2500. There can’t be & must not be allowed discrimination between
different two sets of pensioners (pensioners of Labour Ministry are
being Paid Rs 2000.
8. Income tax exemption limit should be raised to Rs.5lacs for sr. citizen pensioners.
9. Enhanced family should be paid for 10 years even in the case of death after retirement.
