(c)     AFPCC letter No. Air HQ/99140/03/AFPCC dated 05 Aug 14 to MoD for undertaking the matter with Department of Expenditure/MoF. 

(d)     MoD vide note No. 22(4)/2012-D(Pay/Services) dated 25 Aug 14 stated that the five Core Anomalies are referred to 7th CPC.

(e)     Based on a query raised by Army Pay Commission Cell on the status of core anomalies, the MoD once again stated vide No. 22(4)/2012-D (Pay/Services) dated 03 Sep 14 that the five Core Anomalies have already been referred to the 7th CPC vide their note quoted at para 4 (d) above. 

5.       The issue of Core Anomalies were also discussed on various occasions during TRIPAS/PARC meetings. A copy of the relevant minutes of the meetings are enclosed herewith: -
