Dear Sir/Madam

Grant of interim relief to pensioners

As you are aware, the issue of revision of pension is pending for approval of GoI. The pensioners have approached the Bank for grant of interim relief, pending revision in pension. It has, therefore, been decided to provide Interim Relief (IR) @ 60% of the total amount of the notional pension (based on the multiplication factors mentioned below which are broadly on the lines allowed for the referral institution) and Dearness Relief thereon, to all the existing pensioners who had retired upto 31 October 2012, subject to submission of undertaking as per enclosed format.

2. The Dearness Relief rates as applicable to pensioners from time to time will be reckoned for the purpose.

Also check: Exemption from reimbursement of wrongful / excess payments made to retired Government Employees

3. The payment of IR will be made from August 2020 onwards, subject to submission of undertaking, alongwith pension till the Gol gives its decision on the proposal for revision in pension and will cease thereafter.

5. The undertaking in the prescribed format may be furnished by the eligible pensioner to the nearest RO/TE/DDM-RCO latest by 27 August 2020 for onward transmission to HO (HRMD-Superannuation Cell) to enable release of IR. In case of pensioners based at Mumbai, the undertaking may be submitted directly to HRMD- Superannuation Cell, HO.

6. Since the amount being paid is in the nature of interim relief, no representation in this regard shall be entertained.
