EXTENT OF DISPARITY AMONG GROUPS OF PENSIONERS RETD FROM 1992 TILL DATE...CHM ANALYSIS.




I attach a chart prepared by me  showing the degrees of parity and degrees of disparity in pension in the absence of upgradation of pension with every wage revision for various generations of retirees and also as at 1/8/2019.
The percentage of parity was calculated   as on the effective  date of every wage revision by taking the percentage of the existing  gross pension on that date to the gross pension of a similarly placed retiree who retired in the month of effective date of wage revision.Such ratios have been given in TABLE A.
The corresponding percentages of disparity   were also calculated  by using the equation:  % of Disparity = 100-% of Parity in pension for each generation as on  the various effective  dates of wage revision and such ratios  have been given in TABLE B.
For Group 1 retirees retired  up to 31/7/1992/1/4/1993(in case of Class I),the minimum percentage of erosion of parity as at 1/8/2019 was 47.8 for Assistant and the maximum was 66.7% for an Executive Director.
For Group retirees who retired upto  31/7/1997, the minimum percentage of disparity was 47.5 for Assistant  and maximum was 58.9% for Executive Director.
The corresponding minimum and maximum  percentages of disparity for Group 3,Group 4  & Group 5 were (42.7,45.9),(32.9,38.1), & (15.9,16.4) respectively.
The percentages as  at 1/8/2019 will undergo a change to a lower percentage once the wage revisions are effected as at 1/8/1997,unless LIC/GOI decides in favour of upgradation of pension in the meantime or we win our case  for upgradation in the Supreme Court.
The degrees of erosion in parity are not uniform for all generations on account of DR anomaly in case of pre-August 1997 retirees and because of the different degrees of weightage after merger of DA with Basic Pay at the time of various wage revisions.
Just as there is discrimination  between pensions of similarly placed pensioners in various wage revisions,there is also a discrimination in the matter of erosion of parity among the various generations of pensioners.
The only way to remedy the situation is upgradation of pension.We may consider making use of this data while arguing our case in Supreme Court.

Note: The change in DR formula for pre-August 1997 retirees from 29/1/2007 as a result of DHC judgment has been factored into the calculations from 1/8/2007.

Indications:




















  1. Higher the cadre, higher the degree of disparity in gross pension due to
non-upgradation.


  1. Higher Annual Acceleration rate in disparity has been experienced by Group 2
retirees than Group 1 Retirees over 22 year while Group 1 retirees have suffered the
highest erosion in parity as at August 2019 .


  1. From Group 3 retirees onwards,earlier the generation,the higher the average
annual acceleration rate of disparity.

  1. Average rate of annual acceleraton of disparity has been lowest for ED in Group 1
And Group 2.


  1. Group 3 retired EDs have suffered the highest average annual acceleration rate
of disparity at 9.5%. while they have experienced the lowest first wage revision disparity.

  1. Highest disparity in the first wage revision w e f 1/8/1997 has been experienced
by Group 1 retirees, followed by Group 4 retirees after the 1/8/2007 wage revision.

  1. The lowest first wage revision disparity has been experienced by Group 3 retirees.




  1. Group 1 & Group 2 retirees have experienced the highest rate of disparity
progressively on account of DR anomaly and lack of 100% DR neutralisation.

  1. Group 5 retirees have experienced a disparity ranging from 15.9% to 16.4%
during the 12-year period which may increase once wage revision takes place
w e f 1/8/2017.

Appeal by Sridharan G.N 6:02 PM (13 minutes ago) FAITH AND PRAYER  deserve to be considered as one of the weapons to fight the virus menace. It is  not without purpose that even the Westerners believe in the old dictum - 'many things are wrought by prayers'. Gandhiji said that the tenets of Hindu religion and faith has universal application .Our ancient texts do prescribe prayers as a panacea for all human ailments. For instance in Mahabharata - vide Dwadasa nama pancharam an appendix to Vishnu Sahasranamam - a sloka in the words of Bishma pitamah runs as follows: "Achyutha,Anantha,Govinda namocharana beshajath nasyanti sakala rohath ,Satyam satyam vadhamyaham" That is, he swears that uttering the various names of the Lord will cure a person  of  ALL his diseases.In another sloka it is said that even water from holy Ganga can be good enough a medicine (oushadam) if only we believe the Lord (sriman Narayana) as the doctor.(vaidy
