TNSTC pensioners get relief on DA payment

The Madras HC has directed the administrator, TN state transport corporation employees pension fund trust.

Chennai: The Madras HC has directed the administrator, TN state transport corporation employees pension fund trust, to forward a proposal to the transport secretary to amend rule 20 (A) of the TN state transport employees pension fund trust rules for payment of dearness allowance at government rates to pensio­ner­s/family pensioners of state transport undertakings immediately and on receipt of the same, transport secretary shall consider it in accordance with law and pass necessary orders within eight weeks.

Justice A. Arumug­hasway gave the direction while disposing of a petition from the state transport and transport corporations retired employees welfare association.

Petitioner’s counsel G Sankaran submitted that as and when the state government issued orders for revision/enhancement of the rate of DA, the trust was forwarding a proposal to the state government for passing appropriate orders for sanctioning the revised DA for the pensioners/family pensioners of the transport corporation and, thereafter, the state government passes its orders. But, it was being received by belatedly by the pensioners.
