Pension is a deferred wage, paid in consideration of past service which an employee rendered sacrificing the prime of his youth for the sake of the Government & it should be such that he is able to lead a dignified life in his twilight years maintaining the standard of living he was used to during his service life ! It is in view of this basic principle that apex court of the country has repeatedly ruled, that classification of pensioners will have to answer the test of article 14 of the Constitution and further concluded that pensioners for the purpose of pensionery benefits form a class. Such homogeneous class could not be arbitrarily divided on the basis of dates of retirement when the pension undergoes an upward revision. The fixation of the cut off date was arbitrary. The division-classifying pensioners into two or more classes are not based on any rational principle. One rank one pension for Defence personnel or Pension equal to 50% Of notional fixation in the current pay structure corresponding to the scales from which the employee retired is therefore a just demand, which the government should readily accept .The cry of financial imbalance against this just demand is a false cover. If the arbitrary increase in remuneration of legislatures ,Ministers & top Bureaucrats(read IAS),huge expenditure on the security of politicians, which is more of status symbol than they security could be afforded. Circulation of fake Currency, Parallel Grey market economy, theft of resources and the huge scams by politician could not derail Indian economy then how the Just demand of those on who actually shared on their shoulders the burden of running the Govt. during the prime period of their lives can cause financial Imbalance. Why only the poor pensioner is being made to suffer! Perhaps because he has so far not realized his own power i.e. the power of vote. One retired person is equal to 6 votes i.e himself, Spouse. Son, Daughter in law ,Grand daughter & Grand son & there are almost Two crores of such pensioners (i.e Centre, States, Defence ,Rlys, PSUs, Banks, Education department etc.) So stop crying & wake up .Governments & the politicians understand only the language of Vote Bank. Joining the larger community of Sr. Citizen ,consolidate your own Vote Bank. Politicians will come running to you & you will get what you want.
