CHANDIGARH, JAN 25
A special initiative has been taken by Accountant General (A
and E), Haryana to depute officers to visit treasuries and banks
situated at Chandigarh and Panchkula and scrutinize the records relating
to payments of pension or family pension available there and records
sent by them to the office of Principal Accountant General (A and E).
While
stating this here today, the Principal Accountant General, Mr. Mohinder
Singh said that during a test check of treasury vouchers and bank
scrolls, it was noticed that pensioners and family pensioners were not
being paid even minimum pension at a rate of Rs 1275 on or after January
1, 1996 and Rs 3500 on or after January 1, 2006 as per instructions of
the State Government. He said that in two cases, revision due on January
1, 1996 was not done by treasuries or banks. He said that three post
January 1, 1996 and 145 post January 1, 2006 retirement and death cases
were also not sent for revision by departments to his office.
He
said that in 67 cases, pension or family pension was revised by the
office, but treasuries and banks continued to pay the same at pre
revised rates. In 138 cases revision was due on January 1, 2006, but not
done by treasuries and banks. Details of all these cases are placed at
office website under the folder "New Initiatives".
He
said that there might be more such cases where payment was being made
at pre revised rates. Therefore, all pensioners and family pensioners
whose pension or family pensions have not been revised, have been
advised to get in touch with the pension disbursing treasuries or banks
or the concerned Pension Sanctioning Authorities. All pensioners and
family pensioners may ensure that minimum monthly basic pension or
family pension disbursed to them is Rs 1275 from January 1, 1996 onwards
and Rs. 3500 from January 1, 2006 onwards.
Pensioners could file their grievances at the website www.agaeharyana.cag.
