What is the application and relevance of 5th and 6th Pay Commission.DR recently circulated by you.?
I had retired and commuted 100% of my pension during 4th Pay Commission period. Recently, Supreme Court has restored 100% of pension to all such cases wef 15 years from the date of receiving the commuted amount.
Can a pensioner who retired during the 4th Pay Commission period, calculate his current pension by simply adding on to his 4th Pay Commission Basic: the increasing DR through the 5th and 6th Pay Commission period, together with other benefits?
The 7th Pay Commission, quite rightly, had provided larger number of increments to those retirees who retired earlier in a given pay scale. It is unfair and disappointing that this benefit to a senior retiree has been withdrawn.
