WIDESPREAD  PENSIONERS' DAY IN TAMILNADU

THE MAN WHO BROUGHT HONOUR TO PENSIONERS IN INDIA

“PENSION IS NOT A GRACE....

PENSION IS NOT AN EX-GRATIA PAYMENT.....”

32 YEARS AGO, on 17th December 1982, the Supreme Court of India
declared so in the Classic judgement delivered by five most eminent judges of India
in D S Nakara Vs. Govt of India case.
Till 1986, there was no pension revision in central services. 
But, the Govt was compelled to ask 4th CPC to study pension system
and recommend modification, if any required. 
Based on 4th CPC report, pension also was revised from 1986. 
Only because of the case filed by Mr. D S Nakara and his friend
Rear Admiral (Retd) Satyendra Singh.
5th CPC recommended better benefits for pensioners quoting Supreme Court. 6th CPC also recommended pension revision, but, with lesser benefits to the pensioners than the serving staff.Now the 7th CPC is on the job.
Pensioners of India observe 17th December every year as PENSIONERS DAY.

 We pay our respectful tributes to late Mr Nakarawho was instrumental 
for gettingthe landmark-classic judgement on pension system from Supreme Court of India.
