Dear Maj Gurdeep,
All Short service officers granted permanent commissioned can count their pensionable service from date of commission (29 Apr 1973) to date of retirement (2 Aug 1995) which in your case comes to 22 years 3 months. This has to be taken as 22 years ignoring 3 months.
Your pension has to be fixed in terms of PCDA(Pensions) Allahabad Circular No: 14. I am reproducing relevant extract as under :-
Para 5(a)(iii):- Officers who become substantive Major on or after 1.1.96 shall be
granted the scale of Pay of Lt. Col. on their stagnation for one year in the revised
scale of Major. Such officer will, however, continue to draw the rank pay of Major.
Para 5(a)(iv):- As a one time measure those who become substantive major
before 1.1.96 will be granted the scale of Lt. Col. on completion of 21 years of
commissioned service i.e. in their 22nd year with rank pay of Major.
Since you retired in Aug 1995, your case comes under para 5(a)(iv). Your pension should be that of Lt Col but with rank pay of Maj. Please write to PCDA(Pensions) Allahabad to instruct them to advice your PDA i.e your bank to grant you pension of Lt Col with rank pay of Maj. Please give a copy of your letter addressed to PCDA to your bank too.
Regards,
