Queries on Pension

1. References have been recieved that the family pension should be calculated @ 30% of the notionally fixed pay on the basis of Fourth Pay Commission and consolidated thereafter as on 01/01/1996. This matter has been considered but it has not been found practicable to accede to the same as consolidation of pension can be done only with reference to the family pension already drawn prior to 01/01/1996. Family pension @ 30% is effective from 01/01/1996 only.
