of
pensioners. |
As per para 2.1 of DP&PW OM No.38/37/2016 P&PW(A)

of pensioners further clarified by Director, DP&PW to SBI is as
under:- i) The pension of Defence Civilian Pensioners, Postal and
Telecom Pensioners under CDA category is regulated by CCS (Pension)

are getting pension under IDA category are not covered by this OM. The
absorbee = pensioners who had taken lump-sum in lieu of their monthly

covered by this OM.

revision of pension under this OM. However the All India Service

Applicability of Additional Pension on attaining the age
of 65 years
to the pensioners of UT Chandigarh on the pattern of Punjab State Government |
A clarification has been sought from IS (UT), MHA
and DP&PW Central Government instructions allow
additional pension only on attaining age of 80 years and above.
Therefore, the additional payment on attaining the age of 65 years
in case of UT Chandigarh pensioners banks should not
grant additional pension on attaining the age of 65 years instead
of 80 years until a clarification regarding applicability is received.
