pension cases for revision to Accountant Generals’ office where long queues

Finance Department today that the pensioners/family pensioners need not
approach Accountant Generals’ office for submitting their cases for revision of
pension under the Formulation.
“Consequent upon the issuance of rationalization of pension structure
for pre 01.01.2016 pensioners/family pensioners vide OMNo: A/Misc

Authorities/Head of Offices were advised to furnish requisite information/data
to Accountant General (A&E) J&K Srinagar/Jammu for fixation of pension
under Formulation-11.However, it has been observed that concerned Pension
Sanctioning Authorities/Head of Offices instead of forwarding the cases
themselves to Accountant General J&K have been handing over the cases to
concerned pensioners/ family pensioners which obviously put the senior citizens
to avoidable hardships,” said an order issued by the Finance Department in this
regard here today.
It said, the issue was reviewed in the Finance Department and it has
been reiterated that the concerned Pension Sanctioning Authority/Head of
Offices will submit the requisite information/data to the nearest Treasury, who

“The Saddar Treasury Officers/District Treasury Officers shall be
responsible for depositing the cases of pensioners/family pensioners in the
office of Accountant General (A&E) J&K Srinagar/Jammu for formal pension
revision,” it said adding that however, it is clarified that submission of
cases for fixation of pension by pensioners/ family pensioners under
Formulation-I1 is purely optional and not compulsory. The pensioners/family
pensioners who are already getting equal or higher pension/family pension when
compared to due pension under Formulation-11 need not to submit the cases for
revision of pension to Accountant General(A&E) J&K, Srinagar/Jammu, it
