2. In continuation of the aforesaid OMs dated 1st September, 2008 and 3rd October, 2008, the DOP&PW has issued OM No.38/37/08-P&PW(A) Pt.1, dated 14th October, 2008 authorizing the pension disbursing Public Sector Banks to revise and disburse the enhanced pension and arrears in terms of para 4.2 of the OM dated 1st September, 2008. The OM dated 14th October, 2008 is circulated for information and necessary action.
3. In accordance with the provision contained in para 7 of the OM dated 14.10.2008, the question of devising a monitoring mechanism to ensure disbursement of enhanced pension and family pension to all concerned by 30.11.2008, has been considered by the Board and it has been decided that:-
(a) Chief Personnel Officer (CPO) should nominate officers of Personnel Department in the Headquarters and Divisions/ other offices to monitor the progress of revision of pension by Pension Sanctioning Authorities and submission of the cases to Associate Accounts Offices. The progress made in the revision of pension cases showing number of cases due for revision; cases revised and sent to Accounts should be monitored on weekly basis by the CPO to ensure that target laid down by DOP&PW is strictly adhered to. The CPOs should report the position in the monthly d.o. to MS.
(b) FA&CAOs should nominate Dy.CAO in charge of pension work at HQ Office and head of Accounts Offices at Division/ Workshops etc. to monitor progress of the cases so received from Personnel Department and ensure that these are scrutinized and revised Pension Payment Advices are issued within a weeks’ time. The nominated officers should report the progress to FA&CAOs fortnightly, reporting the position of cases received, cleared and pending in Accounts Offices, along with reasons for delays in disposal of these cases. The position of the cases received in Accounts should be reconciled with the Personnel Department and a certificate to this effect, be invariably recorded in the report before advising the position to FA&CAO. The FA&CAOs should report the progress of clearance of cases received in Accounts Offices to FC (Rlys) in their MCDOs along with reasons for delay in finalization of pending cases.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Implementation of Government’s decision on the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission – Revision of pension of pre-2006 pensioners/ family pensioners etc.
1. The undersigned is directed to say that in pursuance of Government’s decision on the recommendations of Sixth Central Pay Commission, sanction of the President was accorded to the regulation, with effect from 01.01.2006, of pension/ family pension of all the pre-2006 pensioners/ family pensioners in the manner indicated in this Department’s OM No.38/37/08-P&PW(A), dated 01.09.2008. Clarifications on certain provisions were also issued vide OM No.38/37/08/P&PW(A) Pt.I, dated 03.10.2008.
2. A large number of representations are being received in this Department regarding delay in payment of pension/ family pension and arrears to the pre-2006 pensioners/ family pensioners. The matter has been reviewed in consultation with all concerned including the pension disbursing banks. In this connection, the following revised instructions are issued for implementation by all concerned.
3. Wherever, the pension is disbursed through Public Sector Banks, the Banks will pay and disburse the pension and arrears in accordance with the ready reckoner and also the additional pension to old pensioners/ family pensioners (wherever the date of birth is available in the PPO) within a week from the date of issue of this OM.
4. A revised concordance table (Annexure-I) of the pre-1996, pre-2006 and post-2006 pay scales/ pay bands is enclosed to facilitate payment of revised pension/ family pension in terms of para 4.2 of the OM dated 01.09.2008 (as clarified vide OM dated 03.10.2008) in all cases where fixation of pension under that provision is more beneficial. Some illustrations for calculation of pension/ family pension in terms of para 4.2 ibid have been given in Annexure II. It will be the responsibility of the pension disbursing public sector banks to revise and disburse the enhanced pension and arrears in terms of para 4.2 of the OM dated 01.09.2008. Dearness relief at the rates notified from time to time will also be admissible on such revised pension. All the pension disbursing public sector banks are requested to revise and disburse the enhanced pension (with dearness relief) and arrears in terms of para 4.2 of the OM dated 01.09.2008 within one month from the date of issue of this OM. A suitable entry regarding the revised pension shall be recorded by the pension Disbursing Authorities in both halves of the Pension Payment Order. An intimation regarding disbursement of revised pension may be sent by the pension disbursing authorities to the office of CPAO and Accounts Officer which had issued the PPO in the revised Form given at Annexure III so that they can verify the pension so revised and update the Pension Payment Order Register, etc. An acknowledgement shall be obtained by the Pension Disbursing Authorities from office of CPAO and the respective Accounts Officers in this behalf.
5. In case any information regarding date of birth, scale of pay or the qualifying service, etc. is not available with the bank, the bank may obtain the requisite information from the concerned Pay and Accounts Officer/ CPAO. It will be the responsibility of the concerned Pay and Accounts Officer/ CPAO to provide the information from the available records within two weeks of the receipt of request from the bank.
6. Suitable guidelines on the methodology to be adopted for payment of additional pension to old pensioners in cases where the date of birth is not available in the PPO as well as in the office records of CPAO/ Pay and Accounts Office will be issued separately.
7. CGA/ CPAO will devise their own monitoring mechanism to ensure that enhanced pension and arrears are disbursed to all civil/ pensioners/ family pensioners by 30.11.2008 positively. Similarly instructions may be issued by Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Railways to their concerned Accounts Department accordingly.
