Veterans told to petition ombudsman

Special Correspondent

KOCHI: The National Ex-servicemen Co-ordination Committee's Kerala unit has urged veterans to petition the Banking Ombudsman against those agencies which have not yet carried out pension revision and defence relief revision.

State unit general secretary K.P. Saidalavi said the Union Government had notified pension relief revision effective from January 1 this year and defence relief revision effective from January 1 last year. The coordination committee had written to the RBI about the non-implementation of these by certain agencies and the RBI had forwarded the petition to the Banking Ombudsman. Now the veterans could take up their individual cases with the ombudsman.

Mr. Saidalavi also urged the agencies to immediately carry out the revisions. He wanted the veterans and the family pensioners to verify the pension amounts due to them from the coordination committee.
