ORDER
Background
1. The RTI Application dated Nil was filed by the Applicant with the PIO, Southern Railway, Palghat
Division seeking information related to revision of his pension as per 6th pay commission and
issuance of revised PPO against 4 points. The PIO replied on 15.10.2010 giving point wise
information. The Applicant, however, filed his first appeal to which the Appellate Authority replied on
9.12.2010 providing further information and also stating that the revised Pension Payment
Authority’s order dated 14.1.2010 is found to be in order. Being aggrieved with the reply the
Applicant filed his second appeal dated 10.3.11 before the Commission.
Decision
2. During the hearing the Appellant sought further details with regard to his pension since according to
him in the PPO furnished to him for the year 2010 the details therein have been calculated
incorrectly. He sought other information – all related to calculation of his pension amounts.
3. After hearing both parties, the Commission directs the Appellate Authority to give a personal hearing
to the Appellant and clarify his doubts with respect to calculations that have been made while fixing
his pension, and to issue a speaking order . The hearing may be held before 8th August 2011.
3. The appeal is accordingly disposed of.
