Nothing will happen. Both IBA and UFBU worked, recalculated, fine tuned Ex gratia for three months to see that pensioners get ex gratia, as minimum as possible.
1. A formula for ex gratia which has no head and tail is introduced.They cannot explain on what basis this formula is arrived at except with the evil agenda of reducing ex gratia.
2. Next the condition is EX gratia will be paid on total pension (tapered) paid as on 31.10.22 and it will be reviewed next in April 2024.
By this condition two times DA revised in March 2023 and Sep 2023 and 100% DA from Oct 23 excluded from Ex gratia. Of course from April 24 we will get ex gratia on the latest pension slip. But we will lose arrears for 17 months on this difference. ,
Why DA was not merged for Pensioners retired before 2022.
After merging DA basic pension will increase. In future there will be some decent increase in DA also as Basic pension is revised. So Ex gratia also will increase. To avoid this this issue was pushed to residual issue and it will remain as residual issue till next BPS.
Another method of cheating is if you are eligible for Ra.149 Ex gratia you will get only 100 Rs. This
is daylight robbery. Every rupee is important. It should have been rounded off to the nearest Rupee.
Adding fuel to fire Unions have given undertaking that pensioners will not use the ex gratia offer/terms in court against IBA. But IBA has not given any commitment that it will not use this against pensioners in courts.
