This post is only for my Veteran friends. Im posting below a mail from Veteran Cdr. Ravindra Pathak, who is the I/c Pension Cell of IESM. Please go through this and fill out the questionnaire seen in the attached document and send directly to the addressee mentioned therein. I dont know if this post is share-able. If it is, I would request my veteran friends to share it and give wide publicity to it. Dear All Pension of the Armed Forces personnel has been the biggest casualty in most pay commissions. Little has been done to address the disadvantages of the “terms and Conditions of engagement” and the “retirement conditions”. A soldier retires healthier but dies younger than his counterparts is a testimony to this fact. In the pre independence era the pension of the Armed forces personnel ranged between 50 -100 % while that of his counterpart did not exceed 50%. It is a known fact that most Armed force personnel retire at a relatively young age. They find themselves out of job and the pension they get is quite inadequate considering the fact they have to shoulder burgeoning responsibilities. The problem is accentuated on the untimely demise of the pensioner. Towards this a study is being undertaken at College of Defence Management, Secunderabad for giving recommendation to the VII pay commission for enhancement of the pension. 2. This questionnaire is to be administered to both retired (including Next of Kin (NOK), if drawing family pension) and serving personnel (Lt Cols and above and JCO/OR if in last five years of their retirement in the present rank). 3. Recommendations given by CDM earlier were suitably projected in the VI pay commission resulting in overall benefit. A similar endeavor is being undertaken again. I am attaching a copy of my answers to the questionnaire.(Less Personal details) You may like to add and subtract and send to xxandhu@yahoo Pls do take five minutes to do the honors as it would benefit us a lot in the future.
