Pay arrears of pension to all Pre-2006 retiree Central Govt pensioners from 01 January 2006 rather than 24 September 2012 : Supreme Court

As most readers would know, there were anomalies in the fixation of pension of pre-2006 central govt retirees with effect from 01 Jan 2006 and the question was whether pension was to be calculated based on the minimum of each grade/rank within the newly introduced pay-bands or on the minimum of the pay-band itself. The said anomaly was resolved by way of judgements of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) as well as Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT) which inter alia ruled that pension would be calculated on the basis of minima of each rank/grade within the pay-band. The judgement of the CAT was challenged by the Govt before the Delhi High Court. In the meantime however, the Govt itself removed the anomaly but granted the benefits from 24 Sept 2012 rather than 01 Jan 2006 which was the date of the inception of the anomaly.

Hence the exact controversy now stood narrowed down to whether the benefits of the correct pension were to flow from 01 Jan 2006 which was the date from which the 6th Central Pay Commission recommendations were implemented or from 24 Sept 2012 which was when the Govt had decided to remove the anomalies in the pension structure after the said Pay Commission.

The controversy was finally resolved by the Delhi High Court which directed that after removal of the anomaly, the pension arrears were to flow from 01 Jan 2006 and not from the future artificial date of 24 Sep 2012. Never to respect well-rounded judicial verdicts, the Govt challenged the decision of the High Court before the Supreme Court, however the Supreme Court was pleased to dismiss the SLP filed by the Govt in July 2013. The Govt then filed a review petition followed by a curative petition alleging ‘gross miscarriage of justice’ but a 5 Judge Bench dismissed the curative petition too.

The Govt however did not implement the decision across the board and kept filing SLPs and Civil Appeals across the board against decisions of judicial fora in favour of pensioners.

Ultimately, all these cases were clubbed together and were finally heard today by the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court has today dismissed all appeals filed by the Union of India and upheld the decision of grant of arrears with effect from 01 January 2006 rather than 24 September 2012.

Another closure to another agony. 


The amount of basic pension which was made admissible from 24 September 2012 for each rank can be discerned from this Circular issued by the Principal Controller of Defence Accounts (Pensions). The said amount plus applicable DA/DR would now be admissible from 01 January 2006.

My father retired in year 1968 as Lt Col (Select), and expired in year 2010.
Mother got family pension till Sep. 2014 when she too expired. During their life time they were aware of these goings on in matters of arrears of pension. Will the Govt. Pay the arrears suitably, as I have not closed any of the pension account in the bank?. I hope orders issued would be clear and not leave any room for ambiguity .

sl said...

This is a most welcome update.

As to how far the judgment will address pension parity issues, besides the applicable date matter, remains to be seen.

One hurdle having been overcome, it may be time to look at the other related problems as mentioned by me previously http://bit.ly/1xaRBhk.

Sham Narain said...

Military Service Pensions and Civil Service Pewnsions have different rules. We are told Military Service Pension was 2/3rd(66%) of last pay drawn while Civil Service Pension was 50%of last pay drawn. How far is it correct? When and why did both categories now have same rule of 50% of pay last drawn.

Provisional Pension receipients will they also get the benifit of Pre 1 Jan 2006 award or is it only for regular pension drawees.

Death Cum Retirement Gratuity(DCRG) is another benifit which Military and Civil Govt. Agencies withhold.We are told Supreme Court order says it can not be with held.What are the orders on this subject.

There was some orders regarding payment of interest at @9 % from May 2013,if the arrears were not paid with in three months
There was also a related case about payment full pension instead of pro rata rates for 20 or more years of service
Were the above two issues also upheld by the final orders?

Landmark judgement indeed, but Does it mean the Government Servant who drew out the ingenious Grounds for filing a SLP and Curative Petition will loose his own Pension? No that will not happen and probably the Seventh Pay Commission will have a larger issue Built into the Recommendations for a slew of case post 2019!!

corona8 said...

It would be of interest for everyone to learn if interest at 9% on arrears would still be applicable from 01 Mar 2013 as ruled by Hon'ble Delhi High Court in this earlier judgment.

Frankly, it can still be argued interest should be applicable from the date of entitlement denial viz., 01 Jan 2006, but I suppose there are legal precedents for these matters. Only Maj Navdeep could clarify for readers.

Unknown said...

Thanks to all who fought cases, thanks to HSC for giving justice. HSC indicated that CPC recommendations were misinterpreted in this case. Similar to Rank pay case (IV). Sure a signal to concerned officials.

Anonymous said...

Dear Maj Navdeep,

Thank you very much for the information. One query - I took PMR in 2005 after 20.5 years of service. Post implementation of AVS committee report all of us were Lt Cols drawing rank pay of a Lt Col unlike a Lt Col(TS) who draw rank pay of a Major. In this list of pension what will we be classified as - Lt Col or Lt Col(TS)?? We have never written Lt Col(TS) in any official correspondence when in service.

Unknown said...

COL BK Sharma and his associates and All the ESMs engaged diecrtly or otherwise deserve big THANKS. One thing is for sure that the Service Personnel serving or retired are now aware that each tCOime some benifits have to come, Babus both big and small F**k up the issue and then we are required to run post to pillar, as if we are to the beggers. Its time they are told that enough is enough. This time 7CPC again right from the day one the Govt should be chased , for which IESM or such like ESM org should create cell to understand the nity- grity of the language.

Ujwal Dabir said...

Maj Navdeep Singh,

I must thank you for this result that you tirelessly worked for.

I have however a doubt as an email about the judgement, probably incorrectly, mentioned that the Govt. may accept it only in respect of the petitioners. It also stated that if this happens there could be an appeal on behalf of all veterans, which may delay payment of arrears.

As judgements on the subjects have squashed the memo that incorrectly specified minimum of the pay band for modified parity that memo ceases to exist legally. As such any pension fixation done as per that memo is also invalid for all veterans and the memo which correctly specified remains valid. Under these circumstances why should there be any need to file another appeal on behalf of all veterans?

Dear Navdeep,
There was a news item today in the Deccan Chonicle that the Hon SC has given a ruling that 50% of last pay drawn should be given as pension without any cutoff dates or proportional service(33years) basis for past pensioners as per the 6thCPC.
how does it impact? can you clarify.
thanking you

Cheers navdeep sir.

Veteran said...

Tribune of today starts off with heading “ Bonanza for Armed forces personnel” & “SC : pension cannot be less than 50 % of pay”.

The legal correspondent of the paper (tribune) do not have any clue of what is the actual matter . A matter in which civilians were paid their 6CPC dues wef 1/1/2006 and faujis were cunningly denied the same by the babus of MOD and SC has to intervene to resolve the issue. There is no Bonanza or 50 % of pay etc involved in it . It is just the 6CPC implementation to be simple and straight forward.

One expected a more responsible reporting from a Chandigarh based print media like Tribune , who are well versed with fauj. The editorial committee should take note of this wrong reporting and issue a press statement, immediately.
The Army PRO should be active and give a press release on the subject . Veteran Maj Navdeep may be contacted to make a press statement on similar lines at chandigarh.

Veteran said...

@ Ravindra .
Yes -the nominee or in the abscence of a nominee , the legal heirs are the bonafide receipients of this arrear through the pension bank account of your father as well as mother .

, It pertainis to (LTA) of your father and mother seperately in this particular case
.1. Your Father's LTA (life time arrears ) would be around Rs 36500/- which will come to his bank a/c and Rs 25000/- or more on account of your mother.
.2. Once the implementation letter is issued , you have to contact your bank who will give this money to the nominee or in their abscence to the legal heirs
The above figures can improve also . In the abscence of other data one is not exactly able to tell you the exact figure . Therefore ,in case of any qry , call me on 7603246 or email me :latif.ccct@gmail.com

dattatreyahg said...

Why no one is talking about one more important thing that seems to have been cleared by SC? (Mr Chiranjiv Singh has written about it elsewhere ). That is,Full Pension to all Pre-2006 Pensioners with Qualifying Service of 20 Yrs or above [instead of 33 yrs]. Any comment on that, Navdeepji?

Anonymous said...

With the Supreme Court ruling now that Pension will be paid at 50%, would this result in a refixation of the Pensions from Jan 2006? To quote an example, say of Lt Cols or Cols, the Pension as per MOD Letter Dated 21 May 09 and later amended vide Letter Dated 17 Jan 13 was based on the fitment factor where pension has been reduced based on No. of years of Service.

For Eg. In the case of a Lt Col (TS) with 25 yrs was paid Rs. 23,878 based on the working of 50% basic pay 26,265 multiplied by 0.909 (25+5=30/33) and in the case of a Col with 22 yrs service, the pension paid was 24,426 based on same working - Rs. 27,795 multiplied by 0.879 (22+7=29/33).

Are we now entitled to the arrears that would accrue from Jan 2006 due to huge difference in the two amounts per month. Would greatly appreciate if you can spare some valuable time of yours and reply on this query please. Thank you.

Mahananda Biswas said...

Respected Major Navdeep

Now that the 17.03.2015 order is in open, there are some doubts among large section of Armed Forces veterans about the applicabilities of the said order. We look at you for a few clarifications/advice as you were the man closely connected with the matter. It will be great if you publish your considered view on the fallowing ambiguities in your blog.

1. Whether the benefit of the order is applicable to only litigants or to all pre-2006 pensioners.
2. The pensionable service for JCOs and Other Ranks in Armed Forces is 15 years. Their pension is also fixed on pro-rata basis taking in account a notional figure and weightage for each rank. Unlike Officer ranks in the Armed Forces their pension was not revised on the basis of 50% of pay in the pay band and GP MSP X-Pay thereon from 24.09.2012. Now after the Court order will the so-called PBORs will be entitled for any benefit even with 15 years service?
3. If GOI hold back the benefit to PBORs, will it be a fit case for them to take legal course individually or collectively?
Your interpretation/ advice would be a great help to clear the air.

Thank you.

I think this order does not cover full pension to 20+ yrs service. Although it is also likely to come soon. Let us hope for the best

Hello Sir,

My father is an ex-army he retired from artillery from JCO rank (Nab/Sub his service he retired on 1 April 1991 with 22 years 7 months service. He wanted to know what will be the approximate pension

Unknown said...

To all those friends who are in doubt about 50%, or otherwise called full pension, for 20 yrs+ service,I would like to sunmit the following:
1. It is true and certain that we should get arrears from 1-1-06 to 23-9-12.
2. The latest judgment does not mention full penaion or 20 yrs for full pension in detail.
But, The whole issue, fought by penaioners on one aide and UOi on the other, is about inplementatation of pay commission recommendation, govt resolution dated 29-8-08, and DOP decision decisions accepting thise recommendations. When legal proceeedings were commenced, CAT judgment 0655/2010 formed the basis for adjudication by different courts. This 0655/2010, clearly mentions, the penssion in no case shall be less than 50% min of pay + grade pay in the payband corrsponding to the pre2006 scale.
Hence in my opinion, there is no doubt the latest judgment includes that benefit also.
Whether the Govt honours or not I can not say.
One pointer is: the additional solicitor general, Pinky Anand, told the court that 50% etc. will involve 1500 cr. she must be talking about full pension case only, which was brushed aside by SC. If it is only arrears from 1-1-06 to 23-9-12, the amount will be much more than 60000cr.

IS IT THAT PENSION FIXED ON 1.1.2006 AS PER THE DOP ORDER ISSUED DETRIMENTAL TO PRE 1996/2006 PENSIONERS, WOULD BE ENHANCED FURTHER AS PER CAT JUDGEMENT UPHELD BY SUPREME COURT? THERE ARE SO MANY RAILWAY PENSIONERS WHO WERE NOT REFIXED AS PER DOP ORDER DT.28.1.2013. ARE THEY GOING TO GET REFIXED FROM 1.1.2006 AS PER SC JUDGEMENT.

PLEASE CLARIFY. .

Did your late father submit a "Lifetime Arrears" certificate nominating someone for the same, most probably your mother? Similarly, did your mother leave any such form of nomination? If not I am afraid, it is going to be difficult for you to get it. Pls check with the pension sanctioning authority/the bank.

Unknown said...

Respected Navdeep Saheb, I find that lot of confuSion is prevailing regarding how the pension of pre 2006 pensioners will be reffixed. I request you to give some examples. Say the basic pay in the pre 2006 scale is 15375 and in the corresponding revised scale grade pay is 7600. Will it be correct that pay in the pay band will be 15375×1.86=28597.50,which will become 28600 on account of rounding off to nearest higher multiple of 10.Thus pension will be reffixed at 50% of sum of 28600 and 7600 i.e.18100. Is it correct ? Pre-revised scale is 1200-375-16500

s.ksaxena said...

AS PER H C DECISION AND CLARIFY THE PENSION FORMULA WILL BE

BASIC PAY AS ON 31.12.2005 X 1.86 + PAY GRADE

Sir it should not be as complicated as it is put. All you have to check with the pension office is if the names of the children are made available in the records of your father, then you have to submit a family certificate issued by MRO along with NOC of other sibilings and submit your claim in the prescribed forms. Your not closing the bank account is not of any help, that is inoperative acct. U will need death certifates in oroginal

The same was revised to Rs 15465/- pm wef 24/09/2012 due to some anomaly noticed in 6th pay commission. However, Supreme Court in its verdict ruled that the anomaly notices at later date in 6th pay commission to be paid from 01/01/2006 on case filed by pre 01/01/2006 retirees. The same has been implemented for the pre 01/01/2006 and post 01/01/2006 retirees have been left in lurk. On approaching PCDA pension Allahabad they replied that they have received the instructions to pay the arrears to pre 01/01/2006 retirees and no instruction have been received for post 01/01/2006 which is an injustice to post 01/01/2006 retirees and now created an anomaly for post 01/01/2006 retirees. Post 01/01/2006 retirees are also entitled for revision of their pension from their date of retirement to 23/09/2016 as the Supreme Court ruled in its verdict that arrears to be paid to all. Govt should pay attention to resolve this problem to avoid rushing the post 01/01/2006 retirees to The Court to get justice done to them.
