AND SOMETIMES
JUSTICE DELAY IS JUSTICE DENY
LEAVE IT
WHAT ABOUT DA ORDERS
The govt. has done a great job
NEW CG EMPLOYEES RECRUITED ON OR AFTER 1.1.2004 WILL NOT BE PAID 60% ARREARS UNLESS THEY SIGN THE FORM REGISTERING THEMSELVES UNDER THE NEW PENSION SCHEME
DDOs ARE ORDERED NOT TO PAY 60% ARREARS WITHOUT SUBMISSION OF REGISTRATION FORM FOR NPS FROM THOSE EMPLOYEES
THIS IS A MEASURE TO TAKE FORCEFUL REGISTRATION FROM ALL THE POST 1.1.2004 RECRUITED EMPLOYEES SINCE THE ACTION OF GOVERNMENT IN ANNOUNCING THE NPS IS DONE BY ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS WITHOUT AMENDING PENSION ACT
Dear All! The Government Orders made it compulsory for payment of 60% of Pay Commission Arrears to all Government Employees recruited on or after 1.1.2004 to submit a form signing for registering under New Pension Scheme to get Permanent Retirement Account Number [PRAN]. The form of registration under NPS shall be submitted to the National Securities Depositories Limited [NSDL] before 31.08.2009 by the respective DDOs.

Now for the purpose of the registration and allotment of PRAN(Permanent Retirement Account Number) the Ministry Of Finance instructed vide its departmental O.M cited under reference (2) stated that, “in the case of post-0l/01/2004 entrants into the Central Government, the second installment of arrears may be released only after individual application forms for registration to the New Pension Scheme have been obtained by the DDO/PAO from the concerned Government servant.” this is totally against the Principle of Natural Justice and being the model employer of the State, the Government of India should not impose ill conceived office procedures in regard to the New Pension Scheme, in a forceful manner to its employees as it is required.
As the payment of 60% arrears to the central government employees is arising only out of the implementation of the Sixth Central Pay commission and not because of the post entrants and pre-entrants of Government services on or after 01/01/2004. This is absolutely against the Article 14(1) of the Constitution of India which envisages that, “The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India.”.
In a stage when there is no clear cut operating procedures and with the question of who is going to be managing the funds of the New Pension Scheme still uncertain, in this scenario these kind of forcible instructions from the democratic state, is seriously viewed by this innocent category of Central Government Employees as highly undemocratic and feel insecure about their future life. It is the duty and obligation of the State and its Departments to establish its requisite office procedures by means of very transparent and in an informative manner to the beneficiaries of the of any Scheme (like New Pension Scheme), but not in the way of simply bifurcating the Central Government Employees as post entrant and pre entrants of the Government Service based on their appointments and putting a precondition for paying their legitimate payment arrears which shall deviate the role of the welfare state from the basic goal of social equity and public welfare
