Dear Sir,

Sub: Removal of ambiguity in fixation of pay of re-employed ex-servicemen and grant of the same benefit extended to commissioned officers who are below officers rank.

During the course of discussion the Staff side was informed that the issue is in final stage in consultation with the Ministry of Defence and necessary instructions are expected to be issued very shortly.

Therefore it is once again requested that the discrimination meted to the PBOR’s may be removed and necessary Government Orders may please be issued to remove the anomaly / ambiguity in the fixation of pay of re employed ex-servicemen.

Basholi: External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Friday said the government has decided to give six per cent reservation to ex-service men in recruitment in police force and provide land at low cost for establishment of their colonies.
“We have decided to give six per cent reservation to the ex-servicemen in the police force so they get re-employment,” Swaraj said while addressing an election rally here today.

In a bid to woo ex-servicemen who form a large chunk of voter base in this village, which shares border with Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, Swaraj said the government has decided to provide land at low cost to the ex-servicemen so that their colonies could be established.

“We will encourage herbal farming so that an ex-servicemen can get extra earning from herbal framing,” she said.
She said the government was committed to settle the claims of the refugees from the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

“Claims of the 1947 Pakistan-occupied Kashmir refugees would be settled so that they don’t remain refugees any longer. We will also provide compensation to the refugees of 1965 and 1971,” she said.

Swaraj said the government would also provide ownership rights to the people who are living in the evacuee property in the state.

“The people who live in the evacuee property would get the ownership rights of the property,” she said.

While appealing the voters in the area to vote for the party candidate, Swaraj said to bring about development in the state people must give chance to BJP.

Meanwhile in another election rally in Nagrota, Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani appealed the voters in the state to end the ?dynastic rule?.

“The time has come to end the dynastic rule of Father-son and Father-Daughter from the state,” she said.

She said that the National Conference, congress and PDP led have done nothing for the people of the state and it was the time to weed out the corrupt government from the state.

“The funds worth crores meant for the development of this state were misused by the successive governments here for the reasons best known to them,” she said.

Three top ranking retired armed forces commissioned officers – a wing commander, a lieutenant colonel, and a major – currently occupying the posts of joint director and deputy directors with state’s sainik welfare and resettlement department, are accused of drawing dearness allowance or relief from two sources, the state government as well as the defence forces, since several years.

A complaint was filed by Raju N R, a military veteran, on October 20 with the Lokayukta on the irregularity, which is said to have caused the state exchequer a loss of several lakhs. The officials concerned are Wg Cdr (rtd) Eshwar Kodolli, Maj (rtd) Shivaji M Tukkar and Lt Col (rtd) Geetha M Shetty.

Kodolli is currently serving as joint director (i/c), Tukkar is deputy director (Bagalkot and Koppal), and Shetty, deputy director (Shimoga and Davangere). The allegations levelled against them include giving false declaration to the pension disbursing authorities of armed forces to get dearness relief on their defence pension. Once employed by state government (where they draw salary with DA), they are not entitled to DA on defence pension.

“Defence services officers are selected for re-employment in the Karnataka state department of sainik welfare & resettlement (DSWR), and so, state government employees,” Raju told Bangalore Mirror. “Every retired defence services officer is required to render an annual certificate to the Defence Pension Disbursing Authority (PDA) for drawing defence pension. In this certificate, they declare that they are, or are not, re-employed in a government job. Based upon their declaration, the PDA pays DA on their defence pension. The PDA has no means to check the veracity of this declaration, and the defence services officer is honour-bound to make a truthful declaration. A false declaration for personal gain is an act of moral turpitude, which attracts disciplinary action.”

Tukkar has been re-employed with the department of sainik welfare and resettlement since Nov 9, 2009, Shetty since June 13, 2011 and Kodolli since October 20, 2011, as per records available with Raju. But they have continued to draw DR – which is currently 100% on the pension – and DA, Raju said. This despite an armed forces tribunal order in June 2013 in a similar case pertaining to two other officers – Maj (rtd) R S Vishwanath and Col (rtd) CM Uthaiah – to refund the Dearness Relief drawn for the period of their re-employment.
