STRETCHER-WAITING PENSIONER’S VIEWS ON VITH PAY COMMISSION REPORT
Honourable Sir,
1.         Consistent with official propriety and discipline and most humbly and respectfully it is intimated that civilian Pensioners have been ignored by the VIth Pay commission. Burning points are as under:
(a) Fixation of Pension: Pay commission has unfolded and dismantled the recommendations of the Vth Pay Commission as accepted by the Government and already implemented. 50% of Dearness relief was merged with consolidated Basic Pension as Dearness Pension on 1-4-2004 in pursuant to the recommendations of the Vth Pay commission. Pay commission should not have separated consolidated basic pension from this revised pension with effect from 1-4-2004. The correct course of fixation should have been as under:
(i) Consolidated Basic Pension plus 50 % Dearness Pension as on 1-1-2006     = A
(ii) Residual Dearness Relief as available on 1-1-2006                                      = 24%
                                                                                                      _____________________
                                                                                        Total                                    = B
(iii) Fitment Benefit 40% of ‘B’                                                                         = C
(iv) Revised Basic Pension      (‘B’ + ‘C’)                                                                     = D@
@ (Subject to the condition that it doers not fall below the 50% of the news scale linked to the post from which the person had retired)  
(b) For OPD, Medical Allowance (For pensioner living in areas not covered by CGHS):  
Under no circumstances it should be less than Rs 2000/- per month. It should be compared with the value of OPD treatment being received by pensioners living in areas covered by CGHS).
(c) For IPD (For Pensioners not covered by CGHS):
          (i) Under-mentioned analysis of the Commission is the ante-thesis of Law:
“The Commission is not in favour of extending CS (MA) Rules 1944 to the Pensioners as not only it will prove to be very costly but will also suffer from problems relating to submission of bill”.
(ii) To meet the ends of justice CGHS should be extended to the whole State of Punjab. For that State Govt should allot land and other infrastructure and funds need to be got allotted from WHO or other agencies. Till this is implemented medical reimbursement under CS (MA) rules 1944 should be extended. Working modalities should be finalized in consultation with each Department. Health Department letter No –S/14025/4/96-MS dated 5 June 1998 be restored.
(iii) In this connection a copy of ‘Open Letter’ dated 9 May 2008 written to all 13 Members of Parliament from Punjab is enclosed please.
(d) Medical Insurance scheme recommended by the Commission: In this scheme pensioners face more problems in submission of bill. Shri Shyam Sunder Convener Pensioners One Memorandum steering committee C/O BPS, PB 3303, Jangpura New delhi-110 014 has already rejected this scheme. His telegram is reproduced below:
“ABANDON HEALTH INSURANCE PROPOSALFOR CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES & PENSIONERS  AAA  RETAIN  /  SUSTAIN  /  IMPROVE  /  EXPAND  /CGHS  / ECHS  /RELHS  WHICH HAVE STOOD TEST OF TINME & ARE AFFORDABLE  AAA”
