Plight of food transferee employees of food corporation of india in getting justice delivered by committee on petition of Lok Sabha


In this human rights week starting from today I want to highlight the the plight of Food Transferee Employees of Food Corporation of India in getting liberalized pension scheme of the central government is really pitiable. Take for instance my case. I retired as Joint Manager from Zonal Office South of the Food Corporation of India on 30/09/2003 after serving more than 38 years of service in the then Regional Directorate of food and in the Food Corporation of India on my transfer of service from food department to FCI . Being erstwhile employee of the Regional Directorate of Food, my services was transferred to FCI. I was deemed to be a cpf op tees in FCI as I could not give my second option for liberalized pension rules of the central government as I was transferred then from Chennai to Andhrapradesh on promotion as Assistant Manager (General). However, after repeated plea from our staff forums the IV pay commission (whose recommendation was accepted by the Central Government) had recommended that al
l Govt. employees in cpf be compulsorily be brought under liberalised pension scheme and therefore i am rightly entitled to get Central Government Pension by virtue of my transfer from regional directorate of food which fact has been recognized by the committee on petition Lok Sabha chaired by Honble Probhunadh Singh in its report dated 25.5.2005 vide its report duly submitted to Lok Sabha which fact is available in google search under caption COMMITTEE ON PETITION 14th Lok Sabha. The recommendation of the committee to amend 12 A of the FCI act to give effect to iv pay recommendation for giving pension to employees like me is delayed considerably and I have been requesting the Government to grant me pension but I am yet to be favored with pension sanction order. While the Central Government had conceded the demand of Central Government Bank employees for giving another option and allowed them to enjoy pension benefits we are yet to be favored with similar orders and consequently I am continuously deprived of my legitimate right thereby i feel myself pushed out of bounds and discriminated . I have no other alternative but to seek justice before the President of India as I am yet to get justice from the Government of India. In this context it is also pertinent to mention that the matter also appears to have been in lok sabha list of business list as on august 28 2012 and its fate is not known.My apprehension is whether I will see my pension in my life time itself being 70 years old senior citizen.
