Actually the main reason for this is that pensioners’ pension is made available from banks, which is a provision to be given at the beginning of the month. In such a situation, banks will have to pay pension to the pensioners in the month of November. At the same time, for changes in this, the government will have to contact the head quarters of the banks.

The system will be updated by the head quarter of the bank only after that the pension can be paid. Advance amount of pension of pensioners has not been received in Chhattisgarh. Every month Rs.1030 crores has to be given to Chhattisgarh from Madhya Pradesh in the expenditure on pension.

Due to non-payment of the same amount, there may be technical problem in advance pension of pensioners. After this, on the one hand, where the advance is being paid to the employees before Diwali. Pensioners will have to wait for 10 more days for October pension. Pension will be paid to them in the month of November.

Apart from this, the benefit of additional 5% dearness relief is not being provided to the pensioners due to lack of consent from Chhattisgarh. However, orders have been issued to give 5% dearness allowance to the employees in Chhattisgarh. Due to which the dearness allowance has increased from 28 to 33 percent.

Whereas in Chhattisgarh, at present no decision has been taken regarding the increase of pension and dearness relief to the pensioners. While a consent letter has been written by the Shivraj government of Madhya Pradesh to increase dearness relief by 5%, but no agreement has been reached on that too.

Due to the problem in technical aspects, pensioners of both the states are facing a loss of 500 to 5000 per month as compared to the pensioners of the Centre. On one hand, the central government is giving the benefit of 38% dearness relief to its pensioners. At present only 28% dearness relief is being provided to pensioners in Madhya Pradesh.

However, section 49 of the States Reorganization Act 2000 has a major role to play. In fact, in 2017, the Chief Secretary of the then Raman Singh government had issued a MoU. In which consent was sought from Madhya Pradesh to abolish Section 49. However, then the Madhya Pradesh government did not take any interest and the pensioners’ matter got stuck.

On the other hand, if section 49 is abolished, then Madhya Pradesh alone will have to bear the expenses of the pensioners’ pension and the amount due on dearness relief. In such a situation, the entire 1200 crore rupees will also have to be given to Madhya Pradesh. At the same time, 170 crore rupees will be saved for Chhattisgarh.

The biggest support for government employees after retirement is their pension. In such a situation, the central government has given the biggest gift and good news of the year to the pensioners at the time of festivals. The government has decided to increase the dearness relief given to pensioners i.e. DR Hike. Due to this, crores of pensioners are expected to get big money during festivals.

How much happened to DR Hike

In the cabinet meeting, the central government has decided to increase the DR to the pensioners by 4 percent. With the increase in Dearness Relief, the pension of pensioners will also increase. DA Hike and DR Hike happen according to the Industrial Inflation figures. The formula by which dearness allowance increases for central employees, dearness relief for pensioners also increases with the same formula. The June 2022 data of the AICPI index is showing that this time there has been an increase of 4 percent.

Accordingly, you will get pension

Due to the DR hike of 4 percent, the pensioners of the central government will now be given the benefit of DR at the rate of 38 percent. In the current structure in the 7th Pay Commission, all central government employees and pensioners are getting DA and DR at the rate of 34 percent. But, after the DR Hike to be held at the end of September, it will also reach 38 percent.

For example, the central employees will get three months’ salary together with the dearness allowance money. Similarly, pensioners will also get dearness relief for three months simultaneously. In this, the difference of pension of July and August will be given as arrears. At the same time, dearness relief money will be added to the pension of September. Pensioners can get an idea from their pay-grade band as to how much their pension will increase.

According to the pay-matrix of the 7th pay commission, there will be a bumper increase in the pension of an employee retired from officer grade. If it is assumed that someone’s basic salary is Rs 31550. So on 38 per cent DA hike, Rs 1262 will be added to his pension. Pension will increase by Rs 15,144 on an annual basis.
