Dear Sir,

Re: Pending issues

You may please recall our meeting held with you on 19-10-2022, wherein we discussed various pending

issues. We are yet to get the expected positive response from you regarding some of the following

major issues.

1) Reckoning ADO’s period of retired development officers for calculation of gratuity and

pension

We had urged you to issue clarificatory circular regarding this issue, after you regretted to

consider the period spent on apprentice by the development officer, for the calculation of

gratuity and pension. The earlier letter by the Chief (Personnel) in this regard, clearly says that

ADO’s period (training period) is to be considered for calculating gratuity; and Pension Rules

1995, provide for considering the period spent on training for calculation of pension. As such,

we once again implore upon you to issue a clarificatory circular in this regard to the operating

offices forthwith and oblige.

2) GIS to all the retirees irrespective of date of retirement- Please refer to our earlier letter dtd.

15-11-2022. We once again request you to offer GIS to all the retirees irrespective of the date of

retirement, since the entire premium would be borne by the retiree.

3) Exclusive App for the pensioners- We were thankful to you for having acceded to our request

for an exclusive App for the pensioners. We request for the early release of the same.

4) One more option to join the group Mediclaim scheme- As discussed in detail, one more option

to left over retirees may please be given to join the scheme, at least from 1-4-2023.

5) Exclusive Portal for the pensioners- On the similar lines of an App for pensioners, we request

you to take steps to design and develop an exclusive portal for the pensioners, to cater to their

various needs.

In anticipation of positive response from your end,

Thanking you,

 General Secretary
