Ill conceived Government direction



Points raised by Shri Batki and Shri Parab are Valued points. The pension to RBI Pensioners is to be paid from the pension fund raised from the contribution of the RBI Employees and NOT from the Consolidated Fund of India. As such, imposing of any conditionals by Finance Ministry are not reasonable on any ground and also do not provide natural justice to Pensioners. The Writ Petitioners may like to approach and raise their objections in Bombay High Court stating that the Speaking Order of The Government and the current Guide lines (conditionals) to RBI are contrary and need to be quashed.The pension Updation is to be allowed in the light of recent Supreme Court Judgments and RBI / Govt. to be directed not to make a different category within the pensioners contrary to law. An early hearing by High Court is necessary as many senior citizen are affected by this ill conceived Government direction to RBI by linking to pay revisions / modernization of the allowances of RBI Officers though these allowances are not paid to the pensioners.
