Damocles' sword

Dear Mr Gangadharan,


  • Referring to the  comparative calculations given by Mr P Mohan, the so called reduction in  net pension is not real as a post 11/2012 retiree  also receives the difference in commuted pension along with arrears of difference in pension. As a result the deduction towards the higher commuted value of pension is  bound to be higher. The gross   monthly pension is more than the pension received by a similarly placed pre-Nov 12  retiree.So there is no Damocle's sword hanging in the latest dispensation as feared.


Greetings.
