Payment of DA on Pension of Ex-Servicemen
Guidelines issued
by the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare for payment of Dearness
Relief to re-employed pensioners have been extended by this Ministry to the
ex-servicemen re-employed in civil posts. These guidelines are as under:-
• The pay of
re-employed pensioners who held posts of the ranks of Commissioned Officers at
the time of their retirement is fixed at the same stage as last drawn before
their retirement. These pensioners are not entitled to any Dearness Relief on
pension on their re-employment in civil posts.
• The pay of
re-employed pensioners who held posts below the ranks of Commissioned Officers
(PBOR) at the time of their retirement is fixed at the minimum of the pay scale
of the post in which they are re-employed. Such pensioners are entitled to
Dearness Relief on pension on their re-employment in civil posts.
• If the pay of
re-employed pensioners who held posts, below the ranks of Commissioned Officer
(PBOR) at the time of their retirement before attaining the age of 55 years, is
fixed at a higher stage because of advance increments and no protection of the
last pay drawn is being given, the pay is treated as fixed at a minimum of the
pay scale for the purposes of ignoring the entire pension and allowing Dearness
Relief on pension.
It is expected that
the aforesaid guidelines are being implemented by all banks uniformly without
prejudice to the ex-servicemen category. This information was given by Defence
Minister Shri Arun Jaitley in a written reply to ShriMahendra Singh Mahrain
Rajya Sabha today.
