6th Pay Commission: Information on pension just a call away

Khabrein.Info Correspondent,

Mumbai, September 9, 2008: Information on pensions as per 6th Pay Commission Recommendations is just a call away.

It must be good news to central government pensioners who were finding it hard to get information about the new pension

amount that they would be getting.

With news on several aspects of 6th Pay Commission still sketchy pensioners specially those who live alone are finding it

difficult to get information on their new salary structure as well as on amount of arrears that they may be getting.

Government has raised the amount that the pensioners would be getting. It has even improved upon the sixth pay commission

recommendation in the final notification that was issued last week.

Octogenarians will now be paid an additional 20 per cent of their basic pension, while those aged 85 will get 30 per cent

more, rising to 100 per cent additional pension for centurions.

To get an idea of the quantum of hike, a person with a basic pension of Rs 10,000 — who used to get Rs 22,050 in hand — will

now receive a total pension of Rs 26,216. The new rates are effective from January 2006 and the arrears will be given out in

two instalments — 40% during the current fiscal, 60% in 2009-10.

Now the pensioners can get all the information on pension by calling Defence Accounts Pensioners Association (DAPA) in Pune

on telephone number 020-24451319.

The call can be made between 2 pm to 8 pm.
