6.When can we expect complete financial settlement.
7.After retirement . its very hard to travel from our native to current working location, what are the measures that we are supposed to take to avoid this.
8.What can be claimed post retirement commute.
9.What other benefits we get as part of retirement process.
It would be great if I can get above details at the earliest
Thanks in advance,
Srinivas
At least one month in advance
At least one month in advance of the date of retirement your mother will receive a booklet containing various forms explaining all the things to do and person to contact. So there is no need to worry as things got much simplified over the years. You have to vacate railway quarter on day of retirement in normal cases. If extension of stay is needed you have to apply in advance to the DPO of the division indicating reasons. Settlement amount depends on many factors like her present pay/Grade Pay, Years of service, Leave encashable etc

Dear Sir,
My father is an ex-employee of south eastern railway, CKP. He was drawing his pension since 1998 and there were no problem he had faced till November, 2011. Every year he had submitted his Life-Certificate on November month (as instructed by SBI, Belauha branch, Basti, UP where he hold Pension account). In the same way he has also submitted Life-Certificate on November, 2011 for the year and coming year. He has last withdrawn his pension on November, 2011 and submitted the Life-Certificate. From November, 2011 to till date his pension is not credited to the SBI bank account and not able to withdraw the same from bank. My father asked for the reason to Bank Manager and manager replied my father has not submitted the Life-Ceritificate on November, 2011 and due to this his pension is not coming to the bank. When my father has explained he has submitted the certificate bank manager said might be certificate has misplaced and not sent to SBI Lucknow branch and also asked my father to resubmit the certificate. He did the same and submitted the certificate again on April, 2012 as directed by Bank Manager. Still after submitting the certificate my father's pension is not crediting in the bank account and Bank Manager is not explaining the reason why pension is not coming. As my father is not getting his pension almost from 1 year he is very upset and unable to find out the reason. For this matter what should we do and whom do we meet or contact. Please guide us. Looking forward your positive reply as soon as possible.

Family Pensioner
Please note that my father,
Please note that my father, Late Sh. Harjit Singh , ex-Works Manager , CLW ( PPO No. CLW/1991/138) expired on 30th August 2003.After his demise the family pension got transferred to my mother's name, Mrs Balbir Kaur.
My mother, Mrs Balbir Kaur ,was drawing the family pension till her death ( 04.04.2012). I, Rimpreet Kaur, is her unmarried daughter with no source of income and I have submitted all the necessary supportive documents alongwith the application form ( GMA/PEN/UM/RK dated 21.01.2013) to GM, office, Chittaranjan. Mr Jaishankar, Welfare Inspector , GM Office, CLW, had visited my residence in Mohali in August 2013 for verification. He had assured that the pension would get transferred to my name latest by December 2013 as government processes are slow and files move at a very slow pace. When I contacted hem in December 2013, he was evasive and told that CLW does not have any proof that my father was working with CLW. This is surprising after having submitted all the forms and every necessary supporting documents.I even sent to them the sheet of pension disbursement calculation sent by the accounts department to my father, Mr Harjit Singh .
Now, I am being told that my family pension case has gone to the accounts department, CLW and do not know how much more time would it take.
I am single , unmarried and depending on my relatives to meet my daily needs and medical expenses. CLW, I would request your intervention so that the family pension gets transferred to my name with arrears. I am frustrated as it is difficult to call up the officials and either they dont pick the calls or just say that they dont know.
If the welfare inspector is helpless and has let so much time pass away, who can help us here?
Seeking your help and guidance.

UNKOWN CLAIMANT :
My father-in-law retired as a Chief TTE from Vizag. He expired in the year 2000 and his wife expired prior to that.
After his demise , his unmarried daughter seemed to have claimed the pension for a few years.. She also got married in the year 2002 and there is none in the family eligible for the pension.
We are in receipt of the news that his pension is being claimed by somebody but as far as our knowledge goes the family members have not been claiming as they are not eligible.
How can we seek the details about the person claiming his pension and for how long has it been claimed?
What measures are applicable in this case?
