AT THAT TIME CDA(AF) fixed my pension as Rs1819/-only??? AFTER 15YRS I again applied for restoration of 43% of my pension which was granted . Now I have applied for restoration of one rank one pension CDA has issued a PPO for this but the staff in SBI cpc cell are having a problem in interpretting the PPO ,i think they are not using modified parity rules. Please advise and help me in this matter as i am sick and immobile. thanking you, Rana Ray.

    I saw in the circular no.502, two nos table circulated in three categories such as navy mentioning table 3 & 4 , Air force mentioning table 5 & 6 and Army mentioning table 1 & 2 respectively. In those pair of table captioning Normal rate of ordinary family pension in respect of pre 1.1.2006 retiree ( table 2 for army ) and Enhanced rate of ordinary family pension in respect of pre 1.1.2006 retiree. ( table 1 for army ) As a result the pension calculation is too hard to solve.
    For Example.
    In Army Table 2 Like Naib Subeder Rs6,212/- for 27 years QS( G- Y )
    and Table 1 like Naib Subeder Rs.10,532/- for 27 years (G-Y)
    According to observe the above mentioning table , please advise what will be right calculation should be taken from those pair of table.

    Is the orders are applicable to Military Nursing Service Officers (Retd) pre 2006.

  • Hony Capt KL Saini 11 years ago

    As per PCDA-P Circular No 501 dated 17.01.2013 Is a servicemen who retired on 31-10-2008 entitled to the benefit of pension revised wef 24-09-2012? Really PCDA(P) is doing commendable job to publish these orders on the internet for which we all ESM are debited.
