This is to remind the readers, lest they have forgotten, that Rank Pay case, being fought by RDOA on behalf of Officers, is to come up for hearing on 11th July. The case was to be heard on 6th May, but UOI made a mention and request that the Solicitor General would not be available on 06 May 2011, as such fresh date be given. Our Senior Advocate had earlier informed the Court that SG was not appearing for the last four to five hearings; Justice Aftab Alam, therefore, told UOI that this be conveyed to the SG and he should be present at the next hearing. The next date was fixed on 11 Jul 2011.
RDOA has analyzed the earlier judgment and have made a summary on how arrears, if case decided in our favour by SC, will be calculated. These are as under:-
Rank Pay plus DA, depending on your Rank as on 1-1-86 till 31Dec 95
Rank Pay plus DA, depending on your Rank as on 1-1-96 till 31Dec 05
Rank Pay will become 50% on retirement
No additional amount is available on promotion in between the two Pay Commissions as that was granted by CDA(O)
Simple interest @6 % will be admissible on arrears, as per earlier Supreme Court ruling
The above is simply put, but will need tremendous follow up and it is here that the RDOA has an even bigger role, by interacting with CDA(O) and CDA(P), who may back track giving non-availability of info as an excuse. Even if AG’s Br intervenes, it will be a long haul for individual officers, whereas RDOA could get the entire authentication done for its members, having all relevant info.
In view of above it may be worthwhile for Veteran Officers to become members of RDOA even at this belated stage. Form for membership is att at link ‘how to become member’available in the website:http://sites.google.com/site/rdoaindia
