Dear Comrades,
CONCORDANCE TABLE REVISED ON THE BASIS OF 6CPC REVISED PAY FITMENT TABLE APPLICABLE TO POST 2006 CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
After a long battle, Pre-2006 Pensioners and family pensioners have 
something to cheer. Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare, 
Ministry of Personnel, Pension Grievances and Pension has issued orders 
to enhance the pension of Pre-2006 Pensioners and Family Pensioners 
based on revised Concordance Table meant for linking pre-1996, Pre-2006 
Pay Scales. This Concordance Table has been revised on the basis of 6CPC
 revised pay fitment table applicable to Post 2006 Central Government 
Employees.
It was a long pending demand of Pre-2006 Pensioners and Family Pensioners right from the day of implementation of Sixth Pay Commission report by
 Govt in 2008 that revision of pension as per minimum of pay in pay band
 equivalent to the pre-revised pay scale (Pay Scale w.e.f 1986 and Pay 
scale w.e.f 1996) had created anomaly among Pensioners retired in lower 
and higher cadre. This Anomaly in revision of pension as per aggrieved 
pensioners is due to merger of 5 to 9 pre-revised scales in to one post-2006 Pay in Pay band.
For example, nine pre-revised scales were merged into one Post-2006 Pay 
band of Rs. 15,600-39,100. Consequently, after revision of pension as 
per 6CPC recommendations in 2008, a pensioner who retired in 
(comparatively) lower pre-revised pay scale of Rs.9000-275-9550 (S-17) 
and a pensioner who retired in (comparatively) higher pre-revised pay 
scale of Rs.12,000-375-18,000 (S-23) were fixed with same amount of post-2006 revised pension.
In order to set right this anomaly, 
government has now come up with this Office Memorandum
F.No.38/37/08-P&PW
(A) dated 28.01.2013. As per this OM dated 28.01.2013, the concordance table which was used in the earlier 
Office Memorandum No: OM No.38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 01.9.2008 has been revised and the pension of pre-2006 pensioners 
has been enhanced based on 
fitment table as per Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure 
OM No.l/l/2008-IC dated 30th August, 2008,
 which was issued for fixation of revised pay of Central Government 
Employees. Similarly, the family pension of Central Government family 
pensioners has also been enhanced based on 
revised concordance Table.
To illustrate, this enhanced pension, a pensioner who retired from the 
pre-1996 (w.e.f 1986) pay scale of Rs.3700-125-4950-150-5700 (S-23) was 
fixed with post-2006 revised pension of Rs.11,600
 as per OM dated 01.09.2008. Now, as per revised concordance Table in OM
 dated 28.01.2013, the same pensioner would be fixed with a revised 
enhanced pension of Rs.14,960. The differential enhanced pension in this case would Rs.3360.
However, no arrears of
 pension will be paid based on this revision of Pension, as the order 
for enhanced pension would take effect only from 23.09.2012. It has been
 categorically stated in the OM dated 28.01.2013 that There will be no 
change in the amount of revised pension/family pension paid during the 
period 1.1.2006 and 23.9.2012, and, therefore, no arrears will be 
payable on account of these orders for that period.
