GS SNPWA requests CGCA for the expeditious approval for establishment of a CCA Office at Kolhapur:
The proposal merits urgent and sympathetic consideration as it concerns more than 5,000 pensioners and family pensioners spread across the districts of Kolhapur, Sangli, Satara, Sindhudurg, Ratnagiri and Solapur. A significant proportion of these beneficiaries are over 70 years of age and are presently coerced to undertake arduous journeys of 300-500 kilometers to Mumbai even for routine pension-related work, causing avoidable physical, financial and mental agony and hardship.
The establishment of a CCA Office at Kolhapur would not merely be an administrative convenience; it would be a significant step towards ensuring accessible, responsive and humane public service. It would reduce delays in disposal of pension matters, facilitate effective grievance redressal, minimize travel expenses for elderly pensioners and give practical effect to the Government's vision of citizen-centric governance.
Needlees to say, Hon PM has been consistently emphasising upon and urging the policy makers to ensure that Senior Citizens are not subjected to unwarranted agony and distress because of nonexistence of facilities which can otherwise be extended. And this issue really fits in this scheme of things.

Pension Revision case - Judgement delivered by Hon HC of Delhi on 01-07-2026:

FINAL CONCLUSION:

Rule 37A of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 prescribes special statutory framework governing erstwhile Government servants who were permanently absorbed in PSUs. Upon such absorption, the respondents ceased to be Government employees, their posts under the Government stood abolished and they were fitted under the IDA scale. Accordingly, consequent to such absorption,they shall be governed by the rules of the concerned PSU and be subjected to recommendations of the Pay Revision Committee.Hence,they cannot claim benefit of recommendations of the Central Pay Commission.

As per Rule 37A, while the Government bears the pensionary liability of the absorbed employees, such employees are still subject to sub-Rule 8 for the calculation of their pension.The source of payment does not determine the nature or extent of the right.

Properly construed, Sub-Rule 8 is nothing but a promise of extending the same formula to the absorbed employees which is applied for Central Government employees for the calculation of pension. The formula referred to is the one which shall be in force at the time of retirement or death of such absorbed employee.The Rule neither preserves the status of the absorbee as a Government servant nor creates a continuing right to claim every future benefit that may be extended to Central Government pensioners.Accordingly, this Rule does not entitle the respondents to any other benefit that may arise in the future after their retirement.

We accordingly hold that neither Rule 37A nor any of the Office memoranda relied upon by the respondents confer a right upon combined service pensioners governed by the IDA regime to claim revision of pension pursuant to the recommendations of the 7thCPC. This is because the recommendations of the 7th CPC only apply to Central Government employees and absorbees of BSNL / MTNL who draw pension on pro-rata basis from the Government. The respondents do not fall under either category. Moreover,since the underlying pay structure applicable tothe respondents has not been revised as per the 3rdPRC, the question of consequential revision of pension does not arise.

For all the aforesaid reasons, the impugned order dated 20.09.2023 passed by the learned Tribunal cannot be sustained and is set aside. Accordingly, this batch of writ petitions stands allowed in the aforesaid terms. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
