Points from Members
10.
Following points were received from members:-
(a) 2563 Major RP Sehgal The matter should
be taken up with appropriate authorities
that all Majors with 13 years or more
service and retired pre 1996, should be given the pension of the rank of Lt Col.
OR
Let your legal expert advise me the
course of action at my end.
Decision
We will wait for the outcome of pre 1996 retirees
(Maj and equivalent getting pension of Lt Col) case pending in The Hon’ble
Supreme Court before deciding the future course of action.
(b) 1813 Col Rakesh Sachdeva Non Functional
Financial Updrade has been
sanctioned by the Government of India
for all paramilitary and police forces. Not granting NFU to Military Personnel will be discriminating and a factor which will affect the izzat and morale of the defence forces personnel. RDOA should take up this issue strongly in a
manner deemed fit by the General Body of the RDOA.
Decision
Matter is in Supreme Court and at concluding
stage. Final outcome is expected after
the Constitutional Bench finishes with the hearing of Ramjanam Bhumi case. Let
us wait and hope for the favourable judgement of Hon’ble Supreme Court.
(c) 2456 Major Raghbir
Singh I would like to inform
that there was great injustice done to
Major’s rank as No major was superannuated in the year 2013 and live data
was taken from a Major premature retiree who has done 22 years of service and a part D casualty. Pension Sanctioning authority had
taken his last pension as bench mark for all Major who
even having more qualifying i.e till 33
years. We have approached various authorities i.e CGDA, PCDA and DESW but no body is ready to listen to our grievances. My point is RDOA should take
up our issue with appropriate authority so that we can get justice. Now 2nd
revision is in pipe line so our concern
also be heard before revision.
Decision
Major Raghbir Singh who was present in the
meeting was advised that affected officers have to approach AFT
individually. As an association we can not approach AFT. Affected officers
should approach AFT. We will extend necessary help thereafter.
AGENDA POINT NO. 6
Any other Point with the
Permission of the Chair
11. Gp
Capt BM Karir (M.No. ) said In ECHS most of medicines are NA as also the
procedure for referral is cumbersome. The same should be simplified as on the
lines of CGHS.
Decision
As
per the information available Funds have now been allotted to ECHS and
medicines are available. However RDOA
will be take up the matter with
MD, ECHS to resolve the issue.
There were no further points from the
members.
