Dated : 17.10.2021

Honourable Finance Minister
Smt Nirmala Sitharaman ji

Subject: An appeal to release 3% of Dearness Relief installment due wef 01.07.2021.

Respected Madam,

Govt. Pensioners of the country always look to you as their savvier. As you are well aware of the plight of pensioners who are essentially the Sr Citizens. We need not point out that post Carona-Pandemic cost of living for this category with old age vagaries has steeply risen. Pensioners do not get Bonus or other allowances except the Dearness Relief which as per ground reality though not sufficient to 100% neutralize the rising cost of living but undoubtedly provide some solace.

Normally, DR due from Ist of July is released before ‘Durga Puja’. This year though the Bonus is paid to the Government employees. Pensioners who were very hopeful that DR due will be credited to their Bank/PO accounts before “Vijay Dashmi” are disappointed. Alas! they are still looking to you with hope.

Met today with the Cabinet Secretary (Government of India) and handed him over a copy of our letter dated 16th January 2021, expressing our anguish over the freezing of Dearness Allowance/ Dearness Relief payable to the Central Government Employees and Pensioners/ Family Pensioners. I also demanded for payment of Dearness Allowance/ Dearness Relief with arrears since 01.01.2020.

Expected DA 2021

During the course of the discussion, the Cabinet Secretary said that the country was passing through an unprecedented situation, that is why, Government had to take such an action, but he further said that there should not be any doubt that freezing of Dearness Allowance/ Dearness Relief will continue even after 30th June 2021.

I also asked him that, no action has been taken in our letter dated 11th January 2021 (Reg. the undue delay in settling the issues discussed in the meeting of the Standing Committing of NC/JCM and 47th meeting of the NC/JCM). He immediately called Addi. Secretary(Esstt.), DoP&T, and asked her to organize all the meetings due as well as to get implemented the issues agreed in the meetings of the NC/JCM referred to above.

THE STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH

Jabalpur, Dated : 03-12-2019

Shri Prashant Singh, learned senior counsel assisted by Shri Anshul Tiwari, learned counsel for the petitioner.

Shri Deepak Kumar Singh, learned Government Advocate for the respondents-State.

Heard.

The petitioner has filed this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking following relief:

(i) To issue a writ in the nature of mandamus by directing the respondents to pay the annual increment fell due on 01.07.2015 to the petitioner.

(ii) To direct the respondents to pay the annual increment i.e. pay scale of 20440-5400 and arrears due from 01/07/2015 with interest of 6% per annum.

(iii) To grant any other relief, which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case including cost of the litigation in favour of the petitioner.

On 30.09.2019, learned counsel for the respondents was granted time to seek instructions as to how the petitioner can be refused the benefit of grant of annual increment which is to be added on 1st of July of every year, but, no response has been filed.

Also check: Notional Increment on retirement 30th June DoPT – Madras High Court Order

The petitioner was retired from service w.e.f. 30.06.2015. The increment, which was to be granted on 1st of July, 2015 was denied to him on the ground that he retired on 30.06.2016 and was not in service on 1st of July, 2015.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon a decision of the Madras High Court in the case of P. Ayyamperumal vs. The Registrar, Central Administrative Tribunal and others-WP No.15732/2017 decided on 15.09.2017, which was later on affirmed by the Supreme Court. Considering the law laid down by the Division Bench of the Madras High Court it is clear that the petitioner cannot be denied the increment which was due on 01.07.2015 merely because he got retired on 30.06.2015, since he has completed full years of service and was eligible to get the said increment. Since the case on which the petitioner is placing reliance is squarely covered with the case of the petitioner, nothing is required to be adjudicated in this petition.

Accordingly, the petition is allowed directing respondents to extend the benefit of annual increment to the petitioner which was due on 01.07.2015 and accordingly the retiral dues of the petitioner be revised and he be also paid arrears within a period of three months from submitting certified copy of this order.
