Pension Money Not given

[anandmohandass]

My Mother Smt.S.Padmavathy expired on September, 04 2007. As per Tamilnadu Govt.Pensioners Family Security Scheme a Payment of lumpsum amount of Rs.25,000/- only to Thiru.S.Mohan Dass(MY Father) was alotted.

The letter sent by the Pension Office had the folowing details:

Proc.No.Rc.PPO/PEN43347/07/K1
dated : 24/12/2007
signed by the Pension pay officer
dated 26/12/2007

The letter clearly says that "the check will be isued by the Director of Pension, DMS Compound, Teynampet, Chennai-6."

But when My Father approached the Director's office He was disoppointed by the officials saying the check has been sen through POSTAL.

Till today we have not received any check or acknowledgement card from the postal department which is IMPOSSIBLE BY ALL MEANS. We have also checked with the postal office. They say they have not received any registered letter.

My Father works in a responsible post and also I can't afford to take leave on 'loss of pays' as I have joined ina new private company.

Even though when I made a second visit on 04/04/2007. This time the authorities gave the following details:

Check sent by postal retured on 06/02/2008.
Ref.NO: ndis1246/08/F3, dated 06/02/2008.

Why in the whole world that a CHECK should be sent through postal.
If so WHY THEY DO not INFORM earlier(I could have avoided a 'loss of pay').

I have chipped ina email to the Public Information Office who is also the Senior Deputy Accountant General (Admn.)
Office of the The Accountant General (A&E), Tamil Nadu
361, Anna Salai, Teynampet
Chennai – 600 018

BUt she called my father's mobile and informed him that she cannot send a acknowledgement for the email. It does not fall under her jurisdiction.

THERE IS A LONG STANDING NEXUS BETWEEN THE POSTAL STAFF WITH THE PENSION OFFICERS. IT WOULD BE A REVOLUTIONARY EVENT IF THIS 'NEXUS' WAS EXPOSED.

I HAVE FURTHER COMPLAINED WITH THE "Department of Administrative Reforms And Public Grievances" Through the online Grievance Redressal Form. An Automatic acknowledgement 'Registration Number' is given.

If the issue goes beyond 2 months, they have to give reason for the delay under the rules and regulations.

Waiting for Justice.

Moved from 'New Member Introduction' to 'Ask for RTI Query'.

[nile0611]

Just pen down your letter asking the authority to pay your father Interest on the delay in disbursing pension. I am sure you will not get prompt reply
Just wait of 15 days and then ask for the status of your letter under RTI .

Thanks Kushal,

Only after I sent the post, I read the terms and conditions of the group.

I think i will that in mind here afterwards.

With Kind Regards,

Dear Kushal,

I have a query, why not 'emails' are not accepted as legitimate records for such cases.
