Sub: Payment of Additional Quantum of Pension to old pensioner.

Representations are being received from various Pension Disbursing Agencies(PDAs) seeking clarification as to from which date payment of additional quantum of pension to the armed forces service pensioners on attaining age of 80 years and above will be paid in cases where age shown in the PPO varies with the exact date of birth mentioned in the office records (i.e original discharge certificate).

The issue has been examined and it is noticed that in all old cases, there was a practice of mentioning the age of armed forces personnel instead of date of birth (though the date of birth was mentioned in LPC cum data sheet provided by the records offices). It is also noticed in some cases that age mentioned in the PPO differs from the date of birth/age mentioned in the LPC cum data sheet due to late submission of claim by ROs/HOOs and late notification of PPO as well.

Accordingly, it has been decided that in all such cases where pensioner is not satisfied or PDA is not sure regarding date of commencement of additional pension, the cases may be referred to this office through ROs/HOOs’ concerned for issuing Corr. PPO for making necessary amendment.

subject : Payment of Dearness Relief on pension to the re-employed teachers of Delhi Administration

References have been received from the re-employed teacher of Delhi Administration that the authorized banks are not making payment of dearness relief on pension to them.

Earlier, the banks have stopped the payment of DR on pension on the instruction of Govt. of NCT Delhi and now some authorized banks are not acting upon the instructions of the Govt. of NCT Delhi for payment of Dearness Relief on pension to the re-employed teachers of Delhi Administration.

In this connection, attention is drawn towards the guidelines mentioned in the OM No. 45/73/97-P&PW (G) dated 02.07.1999, wherein it is mentioned that the pension Disbursing Authority (Banks) shall release Dearness Relief on pension to those re- employed pensioners who submit the certificate issued by the re-employing department as per Para 4 (II) (a) of the said OM.

All the authorized banks are advised to make payment of Dearness Relief on pension to the re-employed teachers on the basis of the instruction issued by the Govt. of NCT or Delhi.

Section 12A of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (the Act) provides for conditions for applicability of Sections 11 and 12 of the Act. One such condition under clause (b) of sub-section (1) thereof is that where the total income of the trust or institution computed without giving effect to Section 11 and 12 exceeds the maximum amount not chargeable to Income-Tax in any previous year, its accounts for that year have been audited by an accountant as defined in the Explanation below sub-section (2) of Section 288.

It further provides that the person in receipt of the said income, furnishes along with the Return of Income for the relevant Assessment Year, the Report of such Audit in the Prescribed Form duly signed and verified by such accountant and setting forth such particulars as may be prescribed.

Accordingly, vide Income-tax (2nd Amendment) Rules, 1973 w.e.f. April 1, 1973 Rule 17B and Form 10B were inserted in the Income-tax Rules, 1962 (the Rules) for this purpose. Rule 17B of the Rules provide that said Report of Audit of the accounts of a trust or institution shall be in Form No. 10B.
