Excess payment is not your fault.

U need to make complaint to pension pay authority about it.

It is not clear as t whether you are convinced or not that the payment is excess or merely said to be excess.

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Advocate)     16 November 2016

I am not able to fully agree with the idea that the excess payment (if really excess0 can be purely due to deptt's folly.

 

Ther employee sumits a pension claim form wherein he states his length of service and last basic pay.

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Advocate)     16 November 2016

In case the payment is really excess then promissory estopple may not operate against a statutory provision.

"is there any Law / Rule /  Court order  so we take legel advise,"

 

You can certainly take legal advise, from a counsel specializing in service matters.

Your counsel can examine the matter from the prespective of last post of Mr. Sudhir Kumar, and advise you.

 

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Advocate)     18 November 2016

In case the overpayment is due to misrepresentation of facts by the pensioner then :-

  1. Recovery can be made
  2. Action can be initiated for total withdrawal of pension.
  3. FIR can be made against him  and procession officials.

In such case the pensioner will be begging before the deptt to accept the refund.

So better be equipped with facts without which no advise can be proper.

Kumar Doab (FIN)     18 November 2016

A dispute shall occur either due to yur stand or due to dept.

If it has to occur then consult in advance with full facts.

First, do not worry.   Second, the pensioner is aged 70 years.  Third, the Bank has to recover 5 lakhs on the ground that it has allegedly paid that amount excess.  You need not take any action.  If either the bank or pension payment authority takes any legal action to recover the amount, then only you should start to take action.  There are certain guidelines laid down by the supreme court prohibiting the recovery of excess amount   (whether  it was excess or not is still a disputed  question) and the pensioner squerely comes in those exceptions and the bank cannot recover the excess amount.  Note down our mobile number and if the bank takes any legal action contact us for free legal advise and aid.  Again I say, do not bother about bank's barkings.  They can do nothing against the pensioner.
