Irregular Payment of Revised Pension

Sporadic complaints and representations about irregular payment/under payment/delay in payment of enhanced pension and other outstanding dues to the Ex-Servicemen have been received.



A Joint Notice was issued on 21.12.2009 by Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare along with Department of Financial Services which was published in most national and regional newspapers requesting the banks to revise the pension in implementation of the recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission. The matter was taken up with Ministry of Finance for a time bound action plan for implementing the various orders on pension revision as per Government decision on recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission and the Cabinet Secretary Committee. The Ministry of Finance informed that instructions have been issued to concerned Chief Managing Directors/Chief Executive Officers of all public and private sector banks to revise the pension of ex-servicemen expeditiously. Further, all Chief Secretaries have been requested by the Ministry of Defence to instruct District Collectors to review the progress made with regard to revision of pension.



This information was given by Minister of State for Defence Shri MM Pallam Raju in a written reply to Shri Ramesh Bais and Shri RM Singh in Lok Sabha today.
