Subject: Urgent Revision of Pension for Pre- 01.01.2006 Central Government Pensioners
Respected Sir,
I am writing on behalf of the Bharat Pensioners Samaj to draw your attention to a significant development pertaining to the revision of pension for pre-01.01.2006 Central Government pensioners.
We are privileged to inform you that the Honourable Delhi High Court, in its judgement dated 20.03.2024, in W.P.(C) 6002/2016 ALL INDIA S-30 PENSIONERS ASSOCIATION AND ORS versus UNION OF INDIA AND ORS, has made a decisive ruling. Paragraph 47 of the judgement explicitly declares the Office Memorandum (OM) F.No 38/37/08-P & PW (A) dated 18.11.2009 of the Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare (DOP & PW) as illegal. The High Court has quashed and set aside this memorandum, citing its contradiction with the legal precedents established by the Hon’ ble Supreme Court in the cases of SPS Vains and D. §. Nakara. Consequently, OM F.No 38/37-P and PW(A) dated 01.09.2008 has also been deemed inapplicable.
In light of this ruling, the Bharat Pensioners Samaj earnestly appeals to your esteemed office to take immediate action in issuing orders for the revision of pension for all pre-2006 pensioners to bring them at par with post-01.01.2006 pensioners.
We believe that this revision is not only a matter of justice but also a fulfillment of legal obligations towards the dedicated individuals who have served the nation.
We trust in your understanding of the urgency and importance of this matter and request your prompt attention and action.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours sincerely,
