ANOTHER ACHIEVEMENT OF OUR DIVISIONAL UNION, THE ARREAR HRA HAS BEEN PAID @30%, TO THE EMPLOYEES OF DOMJUR S.O. & MAKARDAH S.O. FOR THE PERIOD 2002 -2009. A VERY GOOD EFFORT OF OUR DIVISIONAL UNION.

Its really a good news for us, that the long pending issue (which was taken with the divisional super in the monthly meeting by us in the year 2002) of the 30% HRA Arrear of Domjur SO & Makardah SO has been settled after long departmental proceedings. Here it has to be mentioned that the case was settled earlier,but unfortunately the file was lost in transit. After that event, again we have taken the issue with the divisional head & all the requisite process has been made as per the departmental norms. At last, the issue has been settled with the help of our CHQ. Due to this order of payment of HRA Arrears for the 8 (eight) years (2002-2009),several employees got their due HRA after a long time. Thanks to all members who has given their support to clinch this issue, specially our Divisional President,Gr.-C ,Union, Com.Swapan Mandal, for their strong support & tireless effort in this issue. So,always keep faith on NFPE & achieve your target.

GRATUITY PAY UNDER NEW PENSION SYSTEM .

Death-cum-Retirement Gratuity is paid to Central Government employees under New Pension System (NPS) as it is paid under the old pension scheme. The monthly annuity under the New Pension System (NPS) is only a replacement of pension on retirement and family pension of death after retirement. The benefits of Death cum Retirement Gratuity (DCRG) and pension/family pension have been provisionally allowed,  vide the Office Memorandum of Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare No. 38/41/06-P & PW(A) dated 5.5.2009 in respect of Central Government servants covered under NPS in cases where a Government Servant is retired on invalidation/disability and in the case of death of a Government servant in service on the same rates as are applicable under the old pension scheme Central Civil Service (Pension) Rules, 1972. The retirement gratuity is payable to the retiring Government servant. A minimum of 5 years’ qualifying service and eligibility to receive service gratuity/pension is essential to get this one time lump sum benefit. Retirement gratuity is calculated @ 1/4th of a month’s Basic Pay plus Dearness Allowance drawn before retirement for each completed six monthly period of qualifying service. The maximum retirement gratuity payable is 16½ times the Basic Pay, subject to a maximum of Rs. 10 lakh. If the Government Servant dies while in service, the death gratuity shall be paid to his family at rates furnished in the table below: Sl. No. Length of Qualifying Service Rate of Death Gratuity 1. Less than one year 2 times of emoluments 2. One year or more but less than 5 years 6 times of emoluments 3. 5 years or more but less than 20 years 12 times of emoluments 4. 20 years or more Half of emoluments for every completed six monthly period of qualifying service subject to a maximum of 33 times of emoluments.                         Maximum amount of Death Gratuity admissible is Rs, 10 lakh with effect from 1.1.2006.                         This was stated by Minister of State for Finance, Shri Namo Narain Meena, in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
