All pensioners and family pensioners of Haryana whose pension or family pension have not been revised have been asked to get in touch with the pension disbursing treasuries or banks or the concerned authorities.
Principal Accountant General Mohinder Singh said that the pensioners should ensure that minimum monthly basic pension or family pension disbursed to them was Rs 1,275 from January 1, 1996 onwards and Rs 3,500 from January 1, 2006 onwards.
Singh, according to a Haryana government release here today, said that a special initiative was taken to depute officers to visit treasuries and banks situated at Chandigarh and Panchkula and scrutinise the records relating to payments of pension and family pension available there and records sent by them to office of Principal Accountant General (A and E).
During a test check of treasury vouchers and bank scrolls, it was noticed that pensioners and family pensioners were not being paid even minimum pension at a rate of Rs 1275 on or after January 1, 1996 and Rs 3500 on or after January 1, 2006 as per Haryana government instructions, he said, as per the release.
He further said that in two cases, revision due on January 1, 1996 was not done by treasuries and banks.
He said that in 67 cases, pension and family pension was revised by the office but treasuries and banks continued to pay the same at pre revised rates.
In 138 cases revision was due on January 1, 2006 but not done by treasuries and banks, he pointed out.
