REPORT BY : Mr Venkanna Kamidi

Regarding Pay fixation on reemployment, DOPT has given right directions even though it is clearly mentioned in their clarification such ruless are not provide last pay drawn protection it is absolutely right because para 4(a) and Para 4(b)(i) is not support.Departments quoting that paras while asking clarifications. I have talked with DOPT it is very clear .It is clearly clarified to department such rules are not provide subject to last pay drawn protection.Remaining Rule 4(b)(ii) and (d)(ii) and Para (v) then only we will get last pay drawn. .it is indirectly saying to the departments  these rules are not provide to fix their initial pay at the same stage at which they drawing the last emoluments at the time of retirement.some of the rules which you have not put .so again you put by quoting that letter reference as per that that rules it is clearly said by dopt no such provision. what I am saying that the protection of last pay drawn is there .it is very cleared by the dopt clarification.so you understood first then ask department the rules which you quoted that Para 4(a) Para 4(b)(i) .our protection of last pay drawn is only on the base of Para4(b)(ii) and Para 4(d)(ii) and Para 3(v) if department not accepting then get it writting and move forward that is only  court.

RTI REPLY FROM EPFO :-

NATION FORGOT THE SUPREME SACRIFICE OF SOLDIERS : EXSERVICEMEN THROUGHT THE COUNTRY APROACHED CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL TO GET THEIR LEGITIMATE RIGHTS

Tthe brave soldiers of indian Armed Forces sacrificed their lives to protect the nation since its inception.   Even in the recent past terrorist attck on Patahnkot Airbase, 07 brave soldiers sacrificed their lives to protect our nation. Soldiers  paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Orders of the Commanding officer are the last word for them. Soldier never thought on the battle field that it is dangerous, he might get wounded, he might even die |   Had they died, it would be because they laid down their lives for their country.  They chose to obey without regard for the cost.  The living veteran may not have a grave marker as a memorial, but they nevertheless gave much for our country.  Memories linger. But the govt authorities, employer of reemployed exservicemen never thought about us. 

Govt of India issued guidelins for pay fixation of reemployed exservicemen from time to time but the employer concerned of most of the department misinterpret the provisions and we are deprived due to wrong clerification/interprettion by so called babus/officers. If we consider the logical facts, service rendered by an Ex-serviceman never can be compared with the fresher, as veterans have wide experience of versatile nature of work, highly motivated, disciplined and trained for prompt actions with demand of situation and it has been proved in the PSU/Banks that the productivity/efficiency of the ESM category of manpower is almost 95% more than the fresher and they have honoured their efficiency/service experience  in the form of allowing the pay fixation/ protection of last pay drawn. According to the requirement of the stages of life the minimum supported wages to the reemployed veteran who sacrificed their youthfulness in the sack of nation must be considered by the competent authority.  This is not a mercy to the veteran, they deserve it and it is the right of the veterans who were separated from family and relatives for a long, posted in the field/CI Ops/Hazard area and dedicate their lives to serving their country to protecting the people of India. The competent authority should consider the facts and issue necessary instructions to facilitate the benefit of pay fixation for ex-serviceman (PBOR) on reemployment at the same stage as the last pay drawn before retirement.

Several requests made before the controlling authority of the various govt deptts but it ends with no result.  Finally approx 100 CAT cases have been filed by the exservicemen all over the country, among them the Delhi bench and Hyderabad bench are likely to release the verdict within a few weeks.

Veterans who approached CAT may intimate us the progress for information of all members.
