OPEN LETTER TO THE EX. SERVICE ORGANISATIONS REGARDING THE PENSIONARY DEMANDS OF COMBATTANTS OTHER THAN OFFICERS IN CONNECTION WITH 6 C PC .

Sir,

                     This    letter is written as per the  collective decision of the members of a blog named http://www.ex-sergeant.blogspot.com.we are a  group of veterans   who   regularly interact  and exchange ideas on matters of   common benefit  and interest to the veteran fraternity.

                      We  are aware that  your ORGANISATION is engaged in the  task of ensuring the welfare and wellbeing of the veterans  and interact and intervene in the subject with the concerned authorities  including  GOI. Your contributions  towards this noble cause  deserves  special mention and your services will surely be cherished  by the veteran  fraternity.

                          You might be aware of the fact that  the pensionary benefits  extended to the combatants other  than officers  as per the  6CPC is  totally disappointing  and the pension tables  notified are full of anomalies and inconsistencies .The GOI  constituted  two committees to look into the matter  and  the  committees  submitted their reports.

                           But    improvements in the  pensionary benefits are still awaited and certain recommendations of the committees are  totally unacceptable  and  defeats the very purpose of its  constitution.

                              In this  context we feel that your ORGANISATIONS being  champions in perusing  the welfare of veteran community  might have interacted with the  concerned authorities and the GOI. But  only the  details and contents  of  one or two letters sent by  certain ORGANISATIONs  that too with no unity  in demands raised, are known to the veteran   fraternity and it   has caused  a lot of anxiety and  heartburn  amongst  this bloggers in particular and the  veteran fraternity  in general that their issues are not  being properly taken  up by the ORGANISATIONS.

                              Hence to set records straight  and  to put an end to the anxiety  and accusations  of inadequacy of  efforts from your  end  a reply  may please be  send to this blog. or to the e-mail  address of the moderator given below making your stand clear on the  subjects and the efforts taken by you if any  in the following issues.

1.    sanction of 70 percent pension to  combatants below  officer ranks.

2.    Pay band up gradation of   sergeants and  master warrant officers and equivalents.

3.    The implementation of the  improved pensionary benefits from 01012006 as the  COS committee  recommended implementation with  prospective  effect.

4.  Raising  of the minimum service pension to 7000 as the  minimum  enhanced family pension is  7000 and thereby avoiding an awkward anomaly    whereby  the family of a  pensioner stands financially  benefited by the sad demise of the   pensioner.

This is the  draft letter which will be send to all the Ex-Service organisations, all over India hence, your precious comments and valuable suggestions may be sent to the following e-mail within three days.

 

                            Your replies will be posted in this blog  so that there will be  more transparency  on  your stand  on the above subjects and the efforts taken by you in this regard. Therefore all the Ex-Service Organisations are requested to send their postal addresses as well as e-mail address so that letters can be addressed to them.

ALL BLOGGERS ARE ALSO REQUESTED TO POST THIS ON THEIR BLOG AND CO-OPERATE IN THIS MISSION
