DEAR VIEWERS/READERS,
PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTOOD THE SITUATIONS OF INDIA INDIAN ARMED FORCES JAWANS FIGHTS FOR WAR TO PROTECT THE NATIONAL FROM ENEMIES HE WILL NOT BE TREATED/ HONOURED PROPERLY BY NATION PROPERLY BUT A CRICKETER PLAYS AND WIN HE WILL BE HONOURED AT A HIGH MANNER BY MEANS OF HUGE PRIZES, OTHER BENEFITS ETC ETC BUT WE EXSERVICEMAN NOT DEMANDING THAT MUCH BUT REQUESTING FOR ONE RANK ONE PENSION SINCE MORE THAN 30 YEARS NO GOVERNMENT IS INTERESTED TO GIVE IT. OUR PRESIDENT OF INDIA, THE SUPREME COMMANDER OF INDIAN ARMED FORCES HAS NO TIME TO LISTEN THE LEGITIMATE DEMAND OF AN EX SERVICEMN LIKE ONE RANK ONE ONE PENSION BUT SHE HAS SUFFICIENT TIME TO HAVE TEA/COFFEE WHATEVER MAY BE WITH CRICKET PLAYERS AT MUMBAI. THIS IS TOO BAD AND PATHETIC SITUATIONS SO I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM TO YOUR KIND NOTICE THAT NOTHING WILL HAPPEN OTHER THAN WELFARE OF RICH PEOPLE, OFFICERS CATEGORIES (IAS, IPS, IRS, IFS, DEFENCE OFFICERS ETC ETC) NO WELFARE TO BELOW OFFICER RANKS.
It has been observed from the serving employees,after adding fifty percent of DA with basic salary have been entitled to draw addition allowances.simultaneously,if the fifty percent DA inrespect of pensioners added,the extra percentage calculated on the revised basic pension,a minor additional sum be gained if done on par with serving employees. but, presently, the increased 6 percent straight away calculated on old basic pension,ignoring fifty percent with present basic,is injustice. may need to review the matter in the interest of meagre beneficiars.
Dearness relief is annonced for Central Govt Pensioners but it usually Ignored the Pensioners in all norms DR is crossed 50% there should be some benift to the pensioners comparingly Present Employees they will get extra 25% in other alloeances. may Consider this request ???
