THE MOUNTAIN DELIVERED A MOUSE !!!

It is like the 3000 years old story told by AESOP which said that "Then, slowly, and with hardly a whisper of sound... out of the huge cleft in the mountain peak there slowly emerged... a tiny little mouse."

"As ex-servicemen steadfastly press for the implementation of One Rank One Pension (OROP), top Ministry of Defence (MoD) sources have said that the main reason behind the delay is not funds, but the minuscule increase that jawans may get if OROP is implemented in its present form. Sources said that the concern within the government is that the jawans may get an increase of just about “few hundred” rupees per month — a raise that may not justify the decade long OROP agitation." ...Media report

A VERY SPECIAL AND NOVEL FUNCTION BY ERNAKULAM SSA

UNIT OF AIBSNLPWA.

Shri. P. Raman, aged 94 is the senior most member of our Association in the Ernakulam SSA ,residing at Kumily- a hill station in the revenue District of Idukki. Shri. Raman became a family pensioner, on the sad demise of his unmarried son T. R. Mohanan Telecom Mechanic, Kumily on 30th March 2008.Our Circle Association took up the case of sanction of Family pension to Shri. Raman, with the CCA .An amount of more than Rupees four lakhs was sanctioned to him as pensionary benefits which was a surprise to the family folks and the rustic men alike . On 17th December 2014, the Pensioners' Day, the Ernakulam District Association had honoured our members above 80 years of age . But Shri. Raman could not travel such a long distance of about 200 Kms from Kumily to Ernakulam. Hence a team of more than 15 of our Association headed by Circle Secretary R.N.Pada Nair and Thodupuzha Branch secretary P.P.Velayudhan, including E. Madaswamy and Lalu from Kumily visited Shri. Raman's house. His three daughters and their family members, neighbours and well wishers gave a warm welcome to the visitors . Circle Secretary R. N. Padanair addressed the gathering and felicitated Shri. Raman. A memento arranged by the District Association was also presented to him. It was really a pleasant occasion and a previllege to the Association to felicitate the 94 year old veteran .

Within 2-3 years, the private companies earned profit much more than their investment.Then, in 2002, BSNL was allowed to give the service, after the market was captured by private companies.When the BSNL entered the field, a competition started.Call chares were reduced, Incoming calls were made absolutely free. Customers were benefitted.

The long-pending ‘One Rank One Pension’ (OROP) scheme for ex-servicemen is likely to be rolled out ahead of the Assembly polls in Bihar later this year, top government sources indicated on Tuesday.

The government is working out the modalities for OROP and the announcement will be made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they said.

“It (OROP) is being worked out. We will need to have a separate category so that it cannot be legally challenged later on and nor do others stake claim. This would be separate from other government pensions,” sources said.

READY RECKONER

Ready Reckoner (on implementation of 78.2% case) FOR THOSE WHO RETIRED PRIOR TO 1=-1-2007

Many of our viewers have demanded to place a Ready Reckoner (on implementation of 78.2% case) in this website. We prepared a Ready Reckoner for the pre-2007 retirees and submitted the same to Member (Finance), Telecom Commission. We did not place the same in this website as we were waiting for a definite decision. Even now, it may be little premature. Let the Cabinet decision and the formal order be known. The Ready Reckoner is available in page DA. Click on DA (above the photo at the top). Then, click on IDA. Click on Ready Reckoner. A Title will appear at the bottom left side like “ READY RECKO..” etc. If you click on it, an Excel Table will appear. Then type your old basic pension and see the results.

Note: the above Ready Reckoner is applicable to pre-2007 retirees only. A simple Ready Reckoner could be prepared for their case.

But, for those who retired on or after 1-1-2007 it is not so simple. Date of Retirement, Amount of increment received, Date of increments, promotion if any etc. etc. have to be taken into account individually to assess the benefit.

If anyone can help us to prepare a simple ready reckoner for post 2007 cases, it is welcome.
