  THIS EDITOR HAS JUST RECEIVED A COPY OF THE HANDBOOK.   THIS HANDBOOK BRINGS A LOT OF DATA, RIGHT FROM THE DAY WHEN PENSION WAS INTRODUCED BY LIC OF INDIA TO ALL THE PENSIONERS, OF COURSE, GIVING AN OPTION TO JOIN THE SCHEME.  THE ARTICLES UNDER THE PENSION RULES STAND UPDATED TILL DATE .  HOW THE PENSION, FAMILY PENSION IS CALCULATED, THE VARIOUS SCALES OF PAY FOR ALL THE CADRES FROM CLASS 1 TO 4 ARE ALL NARRATED FULLY.
