Good News for Central Government Pensioners
THE Pay Commission had hiked the salaries and pension of Government employees with effect from 1.1.2006, but those who retired prior to 1.1.2006 were put to a disadvantage compared to those who retired after. The Central Administrative Tribunal in an order that would benefit thousands of pensioners, directed the Government to re-fix the pension of all pre-2006 retirees w.e.f. 1.1.2006 and pay the arrears thereof within a period of 3 months. If the Government does not go in further appeal, these pensioners are in for a bonanza.
