Sub: Non grant of

Case of Sri. M. Ramanathan, Retd. Postal Assistant, Papanasam HO
under Thanjavur Division – Reg.
-:oOo:-
The
said official was retired from service compulsorily w.e.f. 20.03.2012 vide SSPOs., Thanjavur memo.No. BI/MR
dt. 20.03.2012. Even though pension papers were collected and forwarded
to the authorities concerned , PPO has
not been issued till date.
As
per Rule 64 of CCS (Pension) Rules
1972, if for any special reasons, it has
not been found possible to complete the pension process , the Head of office shall
take steps to authorize payment of provisional pension and
provisional gratuity by the first
of the month in which it is due. But it
was not granted and paid with till date.
While
enquiring with the SSPOs.,
Thanjavur he replied that there is no provision to grant provisional pension and provisional
gratuity , in case of compulsory
retirements. But it was not supported with any rules or
with any orders of
Directorate . As per Rule 69 of
CCS (Pension) Rules 1972, even in case of
officials who retired on superannuation or otherwise against whom departmental or
judicial proceedings are instituted or continued, provisional pension should be
granted immediately, in order to
ensure the minimum livelihood
to the family.
Even
though the appeal period against the orders of
penalty is already over and
the affected person could not
able to make even any appeal , since he is hospitalized. He is under
severe treatment and reportedly his
liver has been removed. He is
urgently in need of money to
continue his treatment and his
family is in a dithering condition now.
On
the grounds stated above, Our Circle Union requests the CPMG, TN Circle , to kindly intervene
in this matter, so as to
grant provisional pension and
provisional gratuity to the retired
official at the immediate means and to save his
life.
Thanking
you Madam,
With
regards,
(J.RAMAMURTHY)
CIRCLE SECRETARY.
