Submitted on 24 May 2014, this memorandum presents DAPWA’s key demands on pay and pension matters for central government employees and pensioners. Major points include One Rank One Pension for all civil pensioners, withdrawal of the New Pension Scheme, a fair 1:9 ratio between minimum and maximum pay and pension, and correction of the common Grade Pay anomaly in the Defence Accounts Department. It also seeks cashless medical facilities through smart cards, a higher Fixed Medical Allowance, income tax exemption on pension, additional old-age pension, restoration of commuted pension in 12 years, and stronger grievance redressal for pensioners. Read the full memorandum for complete details and justifications.
