DOPPW released comprehensive guidelines for sensitive, accessible and meaningful redressal of Central Government Pensioners’ grievances on CPENGRAMS Portal

F-No-14/12/2023-P&PW (CPEN)-9012
Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions
Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare

3rd Floor, Lok Nayak Bhawan, Khan Market,
New Delhi, Dated the 16th October, 2024

Subject: Comprehensive guidelines for sensitive, accessible and meaningful redressal of Central Government Pensioners’ grievances on CPENGRAMS Portal – reg.

The undersigned is directed to refer to the Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare’s OMs dated 06.08.2021 and 23.08.2023 regarding the strengthening of the Pensioners’ grievance redressal mechanism and to say that in compliance of Cabinet Secretary’s DO No. 1/28/2/2024- Cab. dated 01.07.2024, conveying the directions of Hon’ble Prime Minister during his interaction with the Secretaries to the Government of India on 29th June, 2024 to make grievance redressal system more sensitive, accessible and meaningful, this Department has reviewed the process of the Centralized Pension Grievances Redress and Monitoring System (CPENGRAMS).

2.Accordingly, the guidelines have been revised on following issues, as under:

A. Role and Responsibilities of Grievance Redressal Officers (GROs):

(i) Grievance shall be redressed under ‘whole of the Government approach’. If the grievance does not pertain to the GRO to whom it has been forwarded, he shall immediately forward the same to the concerned GRO, if he knows the correct mapping. Otherwise, he shall return it back to the Nodal Public Grievance Officer of his Ministry/Department and the Nodal Officer shall forward the grievance to concerned GRO or to the DOPPW (in case, the grievance does not pertain to that Ministry/Department). In no case, grievance shall be closed summarily by stating, ‘it does not pertain to this Office ‘.

(ii) No grievance shall be closed without final outcome accruing to the applicant. As most of the pension grievances are monetary in nature, therefore, in the Action Taken Report (ATR) filed at the time of closure of grievance, Unique Transaction Reference (UTR) number or Reference number should be filled in on the portal. For grievances which are not monetary in nature, relevant order(s) or document(s) including PPO/letter/e-mail should be uploaded.

B. Role and Responsibilities of Nodal Public Grievance Officers:

(i) Every Nodal PG Officer shall undertake a monthly review of Pension related grievances pending on the portal to ensure the qualitative redressal of grievances within the prescribed time limit as mentioned in para 2C(ii) of this OM. The Nodal PG officer may access the poor/average feedback of the applicants by accessing CPGRAMS Portal (https://pgportal.gov.iniccfeedback/) and take necessary corrective measures.

(ii) The Nodal PG Officer shall analyze the trend of grievances and conduct a root cause analysis. Accordingly, remedial measures related to people, policy and procedures to reduce the incidence of grievances may be taken.
Page 1 of 2

C. Timeline for the redressal of the grievances:

(i) Over the period, the average redressal time of the pension related grievances has reduced substantially due to the reforms brought in the grievance redressal process including constant monitoring by DOPPW, on-line movement of the grievances to the concerned GROs and the capacity building of manpower deployed in pension grievance redressal process.

(ii) Therefore, Ministries/ Departments should strive to redress the pensioners’ grievances within 21 days with the employment of technological intervention and development of skill sets of the GROs. In the cases, where redressal of the grievance requires longer time, an interim reply may be furnished on the portal along with the reason for the same and the expected timeline for redressal of the grievance.

D. Appellate Mechanism:

(i) Upon the closure of the grievance, applicant is provided with the option to prefer an appeal against the redressal of his grievance within 30 days of closure of the grievance.

(ii) The Appellate Authority shall dispose of the appeal within 30 days of receipts of the appeal. A speaking order shall be passed, attaching relevant documents, if any.

E. Dealing with physical grievances :

The grievance applications filed in physical form with the Ministry/Department shall be uploaded on the CPENGRAMS portal to ensure proper monitoring of these grievances. For filing of grievances on the portal, the process as elaborated under the heading- ‘Help’ on the Home page of CPENGRAMS Portal ( https://pgportal.gov.in/pension/Help.aspx) may be referred.

3.This issues with the approval of the competent authority.

North Block, New Delhi
Dated the 14th October, 2024.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Grant of notional increment on 1st July/1st January to the employees who retired from Central Govt.service on 30th June / 31st December respectively for the purpose of calculating their pensionary benefits – regarding.

The undersigned is directed to say that in terms of Rule 10 of the Central Civil Services (Revise Pay) Rules, 2006, notified by D/o Expenditure vide Notification No.G.S.R.622 (E) dated 29.08.2008, date of annual increment was made uniform viz.1st July of every year with effect from 01.01.2006.It was subsequently decided vide Rule 10 (1) of the Central Civil Services (Revise Pay) Rules, 2016, notified by D/o Expenditure vide Notification No.G.S.R.721 (E) dated 25.07.2016, that there shall be two dates for grant of increment namely 1st January and 1st July of every year.

2. Hon’ble High Court of Madras in its Order dated 15.09.2017 in W.P.No.15732 of 2017-P.Ayyamperumal Vs Union of India & Ors. allowed grant of notional increment to the petitioner on the day following the date of his retirement from service for the purpose of calculation of pensionary benefits. Judgement in the case of Shri P.Ayyamperumal was implemented in personam. Following this, D/o Personnel and Training (DOPT) received a number of representations from the employees who superannuated on 30th June/ 31st December claiming similar benefit. Large number of Court cases have also been filed before Hon’ble Administrative Tribunals, High Courts and Supreme Court on the subject matter.

3. The issue was examined in consultation with the nodal authorities concerned and with due regard to the relevant provisions in the Fundamental Rules (FRs) which regulate grant of increment to the Central Government employees. It is pertinent to note that FR 9(21) (a) defines ‘pay’ as the amount sanctioned to a Government servant for a post held by him substantively or in an officiating capacity or to which he is entitled by reason of his position in a cadre.FR 17 provides that subject to any exceptions specifically made in these Rules, an employee shall begin to draw the pay and allowances attached to his tenure of a post with effect from the date when he assumes the duties of that post and shall cease to draw them as soon as he ceases to discharge those duties. Further, FR 24 stipulates that an increment may be withheld from a Government servant if his conduct has not been good or his work has not been satisfactory. To summarise these Rule provisions, for availing the benefit of an increment on the date of its accrual, an employee should be in service, should have rendered satisfactory work and should have displayed good conduct during the period of qualifying service.

4. However, Hon’ble Supreme Court vide Order dated 11.04.2023 in Civil Appeal No.2471 of 2023 (@SLP (C) No.6185/2020) – Director (Admn.and HR), KPTCL Vs C.P.Mundinamani & Ors, upheld the Orders passed by the Division Bench of the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka at Bengaluru in Writ Appeal No.4193/2017 allowing grant of one annual increment, which the original writ petitioners earned on the last day of their service for rendering services during preceding one year from the date of retirement with good behaviour and efficiently, for the purpose of calculating the retiral benefits. However, Union of India was not among the Parties in the said case.

5. Subsequently, Hon’ble Supreme Court vide Order dated 19.05.2023 dismissed SLP(C) No.4722/2021(Uol Vs M.Siddaraj) filed by M/o Railways on the subject matter with the observation that the appeals filed therein are squarely covered by the Order dated 11.04.2023 in CA No.2471 of 2023.M/o Railways filed a Miscellaneous Application (MA No.2400/2024) before the Hon’ble Supreme Court seeking guidance/ clarification regarding the modalities to be adopted while implementing its Order dated 19.05.2023.On 22.07.2024, while hearing the matter, Supreme Court ordered that the learned counsel for the Union of India shall examine as to whether Union of India needs to file an application in CA No.2471/2023 disposed of vide judgment dated 11.04.2023.After due legal consultations on the directions of the Apex Court, this Department filed a Petition (Dy.No.36418/2024) before Supreme Court on 12.08.2024 seeking review of its Order dated 11.04.2023 which is pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court.

6. Meanwhile, on 06.09.2024, while hearing MA No.2400/2024 filed by M/o Railways along with several Intervention Applications tagged therewith, Hon’ble Supreme Court took note of the pending Petition (Dy.No.36418/2024) filed by Union of India seeking review of its Order dated 11.04.2023 in CA No.2471/2023 in the matter. While observing that the issue raised in the applications requires consideration insofar as the date of applicability of the judgment dated 11.04.2023 in CA No.2471/2023 to third parties is concerned, Hon’ble Court issued following directions, by way of an Interim Order, to prevent any further litigation and confusion:

a. The judgment dated 11.04.2023 will be given effect to in case of third parties from the date of the judgment, that is, the pension by taking into account one increment will be payable on and after 01.05.2023.Enhanced pension for the period prior to 30.04.2023 (erroneously mentioned as 31.04.2023 in the Order) will not be paid.

b. For persons who have filed writ petitions and succeeded, the directions given in the said judgment will operate as res judicata, and accordingly, an enhanced pension by taking one increment would have to be paid.

c. The direction in (b) will not apply, where the judgment has not attained finality, and cases where an appeal has been preferred, or if filed, is entertained by the appellate court.

d.In case any retired employee has filed any application for intervention/impleadment in Civil Appeal No.3933/2023 or any other writ petition and a beneficial order has been passed, the enhanced pension by including one increment will be payable from the month in which the application for intervention/impleadment was filed,

This interim order will continue till further orders of this Court.However, no person who has already received an enhanced pension including arrears, will be affected by the directions in (a), (c) and (d).
