mukundan says
My basic itself is not regularised Inspite of recommendation and resulted in a loss of about 2.5 lakh in service. Further in settlement and pension benefits from 2010 to 2016 and again from 2016 pension on wards.. The total monitory loss is about 5 lakh so far. It is from 1996 0nwards. The issue on repeated appeals and persoal chasing was accepted as a case of genuine in 2003 and recommended in 2009. I retired in 2010 May and is still chasing for the same. individually for my genuine pay and after. My personal visits are also went in vain. Instances of over payment on pension are also there supported by court judgement to leave as such and not to withdraw the excess payment paid. Will my case recommended be looked in by the authorities? Or is there any one to take up my issue for settlement of my genuine arrears>
