to MOD letter No. 17(4)/2008(1)/D (Pen/Policy) dated 11.11.2008 vide
circular mentioned under reference. Due to difference in weightage
allowable to different ranks for computation of pension the pro-rata
pension in certain lower ranks had been more as compared to higher
ranks with same qualifying service. This anomaly has been considered by
the Government and it has been decided that where the amount of
pension indicated in the above said annexure - II, IIA, IIA (Revised) and
III of a senior rank happens to be less than the pension of a lower rank
(and group in case of PBOR) with same qualifying service, the pension of
senior rank shall be stepped up to the lower of junior counterpart.

and ordinary family pension of pre 01.01.2006 Commissioned Officers
(other than MNS), Commissioned Officers of MNS and Personnel Below

is ` 1/- less than pension admissible for NK and Havildar for the same
length of qualifying Service and group of pay in which he was last paid
respectively. It is therefore, clarified that the rate of pension shown in
Annexure III (Revised) for PBOR of Army and equivalent rank in Navy and
Air Force indicating the changes in pension of the affected PBOR will also
be applicable for TS Naik, Hony Naik and Hony Havildar reducing pension
by ` 1/-
