Central govt given pensionary benefits after VIth CPC to Superannuated/above 28 years service pers as they are already drawn 50% last pay as pension.However their commutation amount as per new table effected w.e.f 1.1.06 (Balance amount only).Hence they are already drawn big amount commutation as per old rate.Below 25 years service pers lost their pension as well as commutation. Hence we (pensioners of 1.1.06 to 1.9.08) are requested to ammend the rules and issue all pensionery benefits take effect w.e.f 1.1.06 including commutation. Give commutation to all retired pers as per new commutation table as per new rate, then govt save a big amount from pensioners of big pay band pers i.e(Superannuation/above 28 years service pers)
