What procedure is to be followed for revision of pension of Pre-86/Pre-96 Hony Commissioned Officers under modified parity formula order?
Modified Parity Formula Orders issued by Govt. of India, Ministry of Defence under their letter dated 07.06.99 envisage that w.e.f. 1.1.96 service pension of a pensioner will not be less than 50% of the minimum of the revised pay scale introduced w.e.f. 1.1.96 for 33 years service. If the actual service plus admissible weightage is less than 33 years, the service pension will be reduced proportionately. Similarly family pension w.e.f. 1.1.96 will not be less than 30% of the minimum of the revised pay scale introduced w.e.f. 1.1.96. In case of PBOR, modified parity is beneficial only to Hony Commissioned Officers. For revision under modified parity, pensioner should apply on prescribed application form i.e. Annexure II to Govt. letter dated 14.07.98 (available with PDAs) to their PDA who will, after verification of particulars, send the application to RO concerned. In Pre-86 cases the Record Office will send the application form to the PAO concerned for notional fixation of pay as on 1.
