Extension of benefit of upgraded Grade Pay to Pre-2006
retirees of S-12 grades (Issue of grant of Grade Pay of
Rs.4600/- instead of Rs.4200/-)

DOT informed that in few cases where the CAT has directed
grant of the benefit of Grade pay of Rs.4600 to the pre
2006 pensioners retired from the pre revised pay scale of
Rs.6500 – 10500/-, the orders of CAT have been implemented
consequent on dismissal of appeal filed in the High Court.
Department of Expenditure had not however agreed to
extension to grant of this benefit to all similarly placed
pre 2006 pensioners. Department of Expenditure was
requested to reconsider this issue keeping in view the
orders of various courts and the Contempt petitions filed
in CAT. Bangalore Bench in this respect. Department of
Telecom was asked to follow up with Department of
Expenditure to ensure that the matter is resolved
expeditiously.

Department of Expenditure has observed that the upgraded
Grade Pay of Rs.4600/- was given subsequently outside the
recommendation of the 6th CPC decision, it is
not applicable to those who are holding the pre-revised
scale of Rs.65400-10,500/-and retired before 01.01.2006 .

Department of Telecom

The matters is still sub-judice and benefit of Grade pay of
Rs.4600 to Pre-2006 Pensioners in pre-revised pay scale of
Rs.6500-10500/- has so far not been given to any applicant
in implementation of CAT’s Order.
