Respected Sir,
Sub: Anomalies in the pensionary benefits payable to the section of employees absorbed in Autonomous bodies / PSUs etc—Reg.
I like to submit that several employees including me are affected by the anomaly detailed below. I have represented already on this issue through proper channel. This may please be taken before the committee for dicusion for reasonable solution.
I was working as AAO in Postal Accounts office, Chennai. I had 23 years service in Postal Department. Then I took appointment in ESI Corporation in 1998. I have further service of 14.5 years in ESIC. I opted for pensionary benefits for the combined service under the Central Government and Employees State Insurance Corporation as per the pension rules of Government of India at that time. I am likely to get only DCRG and full pension after retirement from ESIC.
When a Government servant is absorbed in an Autonomous body / PSUs etc, he will have
an option (a) to receive pro rata retirement pensionary benefits or (b) continue to have the pensionary benefit of combined service under the Government and in the Autonomous Body. Under the option (a), 100% commutation of pension was paid up to 1995 if opted for it. Such employee was not entitled to get anything from his parent department there after. This option shall be exercised within six months. Since I desired full pension, I opted (b) for combined pensionary benefits. My friends opted (a) i.e pro rata pension. The pensionary benefits, due for my 23 years service, was paid by Postal Department to Employees State Insurance Corporation for counting my service in order to provide combined service pension after retirement.
Thereafter, the various pension rules amended subsequently have extended additional benefits such as restoration of 1/3 rd commuted pension to the employees opted for lump sum payment on absorption. Others are drawing monthly pension. Dearness Relief on pension is also given from 1999 onwards. The sixth central pay commission has granted full pension for 20 years service which is more beneficial to absorbed employees opted pro-rata pension. Thus attractive pensionary benefits are extended to the employees opted (a) whereas the employees opted (b) for combined pension are fully ignored, discriminated and denied such benefits.
I want to submit that the parent department is gaining by not restoring / paying 1/3 commuted value of pension with DA monthly and Employees State Insurance Corporation is benefited by receipt of undue pensionary benefits from parent department whereas I am discriminated by virtue of the option exercised at the time of absorption based on the pension rules of those days. My colleagues are enjoying additional pensionary benefits since they have opted for pro rata pension. Since the option given at the time of absorption is null and void and meaningless on account of attractive benefits granted to one section of employees discriminating the other, the Confederation is requested to take up this anomaly before the National Anomaly Committee and cause necessary action for the issue of suitable orders granting the following benefits to the employees opted for pension under combined service.
1. The Parent department (Postal department) shall be ordered to restore 1/3rd commuted value of pension after 15 years from the date of absorption.
2. The ESI Corporation (the Autonomous body) shall refund the undue pensionary benefits along with interest to me which was collected by it from the parent department. It may retain proportionate pensionary benefits for 5.5 years required to sanction full pension after retirement, since option was already exercised for full pension.
