Subject: – Revision of pension of pre-2006 pensioners etc. for faculty and other staff of Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTs).

Sir,

I am directed to refer to this Department’s order of even dated 25th May 2010 on the subject mentioned above. Representations were received requesting that the minimum pension of pre-2006 ie. pensioners who retired prior to 01.01.2006 should be at least 50% of entry pay prescribed for each level in the relevant pay band plus the Grade Pay.

2. The Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare was consulted in the matter who have held the view that the pension of the pre-2006 pensioners ie. who retired prior to 1.1.2006 may be fixed following the principles laid down in Para 4.2 of the Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare OM No. 38/37/08-P&PW (A) dated 1.9.2008 as clarified vide their OM dated 3.10.2008. This was mentioned in this Department’s order of even number dated 25.05.2010.

3. Department of Pension & Pensioners have further informed that several representations were received from pre-2006 pensioners requesting for higher pensionary benefit. These representations were considered by that Department in consultation with Ministry of Finance but could not be agreed to. Accordingly the representations received from Central Government pensioners stood disposed of vide that depanment’s OM No. F 38/37/08-P& PW (A) dated 11.2.2009 and dated 19.3.2010. Hence, the requests received from pensioners of various Centrally Funded Technical Institutions like IITs, etc, can not be agreed to.

4. Hence all the institutions are requested to fix the pension of pre-2006 pensioners ie. who retired prior to 1.1.2006 as per the order of this Department dated 25.05.2010 Any deviation made in the matter of grant of pension resulting in over payment made may be adjusted from subsequent pension payment.

5. This issues in consultation with AS & FA

Yours faithfully
