MOCKERY OF CITIZEN’S CHARTERS!!!
&
CALLOUS ATTIUDE OF DOPT/DARPG
Hon’ble Presidentji,

Sub: Illegal VRS/Clandestine actions by Commerce Ministry

Namaste. You are the custodian of Pensions Act-1871 which protects the rights of pensioners. I am a senior citizen not begging for alms but fighting for my pension rights (covered by CCSPension Rules-1972).
Export inspection agency, under the Commerce Ministry has fraudulently introduced a SVRS in 1994 without involving the DOPT (department of personnel & training) in violation of Constitutional provisions-Art.77/3.

DOPT under the direct control of the Hon’ble Prime Minister is avoiding its responsibility. Instead of using its Super ordinate powers to declare the Subordinate Commerce Ministry’s SVRS-1994 circular( an executive fiat) as NULL & VOID, pushing me from pillar to post.

I am prepared to surrender my ILLEGAL benefits received with interest to accept my normal retirement benefits (47A) which is permitted by treasury rules.
I request you to end my long agony by directing DOPT to redress my grievance expeditiously.

Thanking you.
Sincerely Your’s,

STORY OF AN ENCOUNTER ON CONSTIUTION
Commerce Ministry’s fraud On Govt.Employees Covered Under CCS Pension Rules-1972
HOW THE COMMERCE MINISTRY VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION!!!
I was a govt. employee of Export Inspection Agency-a statutory body under Commerce Ministry, covered by CCS Pension Rules of 1972.In 1994 over 700 employees opted for SVRS & govt. partly settled retirement benefits till 1997. We filed cases for not effecting full payment of attended benefits.
Simultaneously after 11years of my efforts I got an original circular of Commerce Ministry dt.21/05/1994 under RTI Act-2005 which exposed that the 1994-VRS scheme itself is not an approved one by the Nodal depts. Also the commerce ministry’s executive fiat which was circulated among employees was deliberately edited by the officials to cheat the employees. So the circular is NULL & VOID & the scheme is ILLEGAL as the Commerce Ministry has violated all the constitutional provisions.
From 2005 I have been approaching various govt. agencies for Justice. With no tangible solutions forthcoming I filed a fresh writ in Madras high court which is still pending. My efforts for a negotiated settlement also failed. My appeals to the Hon’ble PM-incharge of ministry of Personnel, Public Grievance & Pension, and the Hon’ble President-custodian of Pension Act-1871 did not receive the attention.
Pension is not a bounty and ministry officials cheated the employees by circulating an executive fiat which suppressed the facts to deprive our fundamental right to pension. When one time legislators demand pension, the govt. employees who have worked for over 20years have been fooled by the fraudulent SVRS-1994 circular.
AWAITING JUSTICE TO END OUR MENTAL AGONY
"There are precedents from other countries where pension has been treated as a human right and the Human Rights Commission has awarded relief to the pensioners. In our case the RIGHT TO PENSION has been ROBBED OFF stealthily. Hence, it is requested that NHRC, India may take up the above grievance of VRS OPTEES and award them the necessary relief early".

This is a classic example to prove that much trumpeted grievance handling system of the Govt. of India is just a FARCE. A MOCKERRY OF FRIENDLY CITIZENS CHARTER!!!!!!
