Pre-2006 Pension Arrears Calculator – Online Tool to estimate revised Pension as on 1st January 2006 for Pre-2006 Pensioners and consequent Arrears from 01.01.2006
Those who retired before 6th pay Commission implementation must be a relieved lot now, as Govt at last fulfilled the 8 years old demand of Pre-2006 Pensioners for revision of their pension with effect from 1st January 2006.
By issuing latest Office Memorandum No.38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 30.07.2015, Govt has undone the pension anomaly for Pre-2006 Pensioners caused by earlier Office Memorandums of even no dated 01.09.2008, 03.10.2008 and 28.01.2013.
As revision of pension as per the order dated 30.07.2015 would involve Arrears Calculation for almost 10 years, we thought of providing an online tool to calculate revised pension of Pre-2006 Pensioners as well as month wise pension arrears from 1st January 2006.

1. Pension Arrears on revision pension with effect from 1st January 2006 to 23.12.2012 and
2. Pension arrears with effect from 24.09.2012 to till date.

Background for revision of pre-2006 pension and pension arrears:

  • As per Pension fixation method stipulated in Office Memorandum No. 38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 01.09.2008 and 03.10.2008 which were issued on implementation of 6th Pay Commission recommendations in respect of Pre-2006 Pensioners, revised penion was ensured to be fixed at 50% of the minimum of 6th CPC Pay Band corresponding to Pre-revised pay scale from which the pensioner had retired, if pre-revised pension (before 2006) multiplied by factor of 2.26 is less than the said 50% ensured pension. Like wise, revised family Pension was ensured to be fixed at 30% of the minimum of 6th CPC Pay Band corresponding to Pre-revised pay scale from which the pensioner had retired / deceased.
  • As per fitment table given in these earlier instructions, several pre-revised pay scales were bunched in to a single 6th CPC Pay Band.   This Grouping of several pre-revised pay scales and fixing same pension for retirees from these pay scales based on the minimum of pay in revised 6th CPC pay band created huge disparity in revisedpension of pensioner retired in a higher pay scale and those who retired in lower pay scale.
  • After prolonging legal battle, govt agreed to follow, a revisedconcordance table which is based on fitment table of serving employees, in which higher pre-revised pay scales (that were bunched in to a particular Pay band) were equated with stepped up pay in 6th CPC pay band. However, date of effect of this order as per OM dated 28.01.2013, was given as 24.09.2012.
  • Pre-2006 Pensioners continued their legal battle before Hon’ble High Court and Apex Court, for fixing date of effect of this order from 1st January 2006.
  • After Hon’ble Supreme Court dismissed Department’s SLP and fixed deadline of 4 months for implementing original order of CAT in favour of Pensioners, Office Memorandum dated 30.07.2015 has been issued now by Department of Pension and Pensioners’ welfare for allowing revision of Pension for Pre-2006 Pensioners as per revisedconcordance table with effect from 1st January 2006.
