At some time or other, the govt must rectify their mistakes in pension to pre-1996 pensioners. Otherwise it would be a thankless govt. and cpc.

However, officers of additional secy and above have for this purpose carved off as HAG+ grade with a miniumum of RS 75500/ starting pay getting them of assured pension of 37750/- while next lower grade officer get a pension of Rs 37000+12000 divide by 2ie 24500/- .
