Sir, My father Sri. A Natarajan retired from Southern Railways in September 1990. Today, ie on 8th September 2012 he has completed 80 years of age. I just want to know whether the increase in pension of 20% at attaining the age of 80 years will automatically be implemented by the concerned authorities or is there any procedure to be fulfilled by the beneficiary?
