Pensioners Plight

 

The Senate has rekindled a waning faint hope of the old pensioners by passing a resolution unanimously to increase the pension of the old retired government servants in accordance with the increase in prices prevailing in the country. How much increase would there be has not been specified and left to the financial pundits to work it out. While the increase is yet to be decided may I draw their attention to an old demand of the old pensioners to “One Grade/Rank  One Pension” formula, which is in vogue in many a civilised country. I, as a Lt Col, was pensioned off at Rs. 1,660/- in 1977 as against Rs. 50,000/- or 60,000/- that a Lt Col gets today !!

 

Anybody listening?!!
