As already been intimated the call of NCCPA to organise Protest Day on 15-02-2017 against rejection of Option 1, recommended by the 7th Pay Commission and accepted by the Government, be made a complete success by conducting protest demonstrations at circle/district levels with maximum participation of pensioners. Letter in the following format be also sent to the Prime Minister, Home Minister, Finance Minister, Railway Minister and Cabinet Secretary.

Circle Secretaries are requested to inform all the district secretaries for successful implementation of the program. The demonstration can be conducted jointly with other affiliates of NCCPA, like CGPA, AIPRPA etc, where ever possible. But the letter should be sent separately by all the Circle Secretaries and district secretaries.

Format of the letter to be addressed to the Honourable Prime Minister and Others.

To

The Hon’ble Prime Minister

Government of India,

South Block,

New Delhi. 110 001.

Respected Sir,

On behalf of the Pensioners, who are our members, we are to bring to your kind notice that the Central Government pensioners throughout the country are extremely distressed on coming to know that the Pension and Pensioners Welfare Department of the Government of India has finalized and made their submissions to the Cabinet suggesting inter alia that the recommendation made by the 7^th CPC in respect of pension determination under Option No. 1. be rejected on the specious ground that the said recommendation is infeasible to be acted upon. 

In this connection we send herewith a copy of the submissions made by the Staff Side of the JCM on our behalf which may please be considered before a final decision in the matter is taken by the Cabinet.  For the detailed reasons advanced in the said Note, the decision of the Department of Pension to reject the said recommendations, even though the same has been accepted by the Government and notified, is not only unfortunate but also not tenable.  The said suggestion of the Department of Pension, if acted upon, will crush the hope and aspiration generated in the minds of lakhs of pensioners for a reasonable pension, which the 7^th CPC considered and granted. 

We, therefore, appeal to your good self that the proposal of the Pension Department, which is presently pending consideration of the Cabinet, may not be accepted and instead the recommendation of the 7^th CPC granting option No.1 be acted upon.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
