authentic source of such information.

Q:16
|
Please provide some
model calculations to further increase the understanding?
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
A:
|
Some
model calculations are done here:
Being a commissioned
officer of Regular Army, the revision is to be done as per Annexure -A (table
No 1) annexed to PCDA (P) Circular No 500. Look in relevant column
for the rankand relevant row for qualifying service. The revised pension w.e.f.
24.9.2012 comes out to 27795/- P.M.
Being the family of
a commissioned officer of Army, the revision is to be done as per annexure -A
(table No -2) annexed to PCCIA (P) Circular No 500. The
revised pension w.e.f. 24.9.2012 comes out to 10923/- p.m.
The existing pension
of the pensioner is not in order. Firstly, it needs to be raised to 13590/-
from 13500/- P.M. wef 01/07/2009 as per PCCIA (P) Circular No 482 dt
19/04/02012. Then look for revised pension for the Rank and QS in Table -20
(Air Force) annexed to Circular NO 501. The revised pension should be 15465/-
wef 24/09/12.
Moreover, as the
pensioner is more than 80 years old, he is also entitled to additional
pension corresponding to revised pension.
