Dear Sir,
Reference: DOP&PW OM No. 45/52/97-P&PW Dated: 16-12-1997.
1. We invite your kind attention and seek early justice for the CPF (Contributory Provident Fund) Retirees who retired after 31-12-1985 and are suffering great hardship due to non- receipt of the Ex-gratia Payment as paid to those CPF Retirees who retired upto 31-12- 1985.
2. Ex-Gratia Payment of Rs.600/- PM plus DR was granted, to CPF Optees who retired between 1-4-1957 to 31-12-1985 vide DOP&PW orders cited above. The amount of Ex- gratia Payment and DR thereon were revised from time to time. But no Ex-Gratia Payment has been granted to the CPF Optees who retired after 31-12-1985. This is unjust, discriminatory and causing continuous hardship to the post 31-12-1985 CPF Retirees.
3. All CPF Retirees were recruited before 1-4-1957 and as such formed one class of employees. Any distinction between them on the basis of date of Retirement is discriminatory and violative of Articles 14, 16 and 39 of the Constitution of India as well as according to the Law of Justice settled in DS Nakra’s case and General Bains’ Case decided by the Apex Court of India.
4. The number of surviving CPF Optees, who retired after 31-12-1985, is very small as all the CPF Optees joined service before 1-4-1957 and the last ones of such optees would have retired by 1997 or before that. As such, the financial implication of granting them Ex- Gratia payment would also be small but would do the much delayed justice to them and provide them the much needed relief .
5. It is, therefore, requested that the CPF Optees who retired after 31-12-1985 and their Families be granted Ex-Gratia Payment & DR at par with the CPF Optees who retired upto 31-12-1985 and unjust discrimination and hardship may please be removed.
Yours’ truly,
(Harchandan Singh)
Secretary General,
