Payment of DA on Pension of ExServicemen

Guidelines issued by the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare for payment of Dearness Relief to reemployed pensioners have been extended by this Ministry to the exservicemen reemployed
in civil posts. These guidelines are as under::-

• The pay of reemployed 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 reemployment in civil posts.

• The pay of reemployed 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 reemployed.
Such pensioners are entitled to Dearness Relief on pension on their reemployment in civil posts.

• If the pay of reemployed 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 exservicemen category. This information was given by Defence Minister Shri Arun Jaitley in a written reply to ShriMahendra Singh Mahrain Rajya Sabha .
