Wondering what to do about restoration of pro-rata deduction of pension for less than 33 years service?



From Brig Vijay Raheja Signals Corps Veteran
 

There have been queries on weightage and also when will orders for arrears on account of truncated service (i.e. less than 33 years). Please note that 6th CPC removed weightage and accounted for it while fixing pensions for each rank. Relevant data extracted from Circular 500 is reproduced below.
