SPARSH - LIFE CERTIFICATE - METHODS

SUBMISSION OF LIFE CERTIFICATE - METHODS 

1.    All pensioners have to submit life certificate once in a year in the month of OCT & NOV by pensioners 80 yrs and above and during NOV by others. For this purpose we need to visit our pension paying banks and submit the life certificate and appear before the bank official. it cannot be done on proxy.

2.     However we can now submit the life certificate on line from the comfort of our homes. there are three methods to do that as explained below.-

LETTERS - AVOID WRITING THESE

 LETTERS THAT SHOULDN’T BE WRITTEN

 No USEFUL PURPOSE is ever served by writing needlessly of misfortune or unhappiness to anyone.

 The chronic calamity-writers seem to wait until the skies are darkest and then, rushing to their desks, luxuriate in pouring out all their troubles to their friends.

 Every day the mails carry letters of another kind whose fallout would be spectacular if they fell into the wrong hands. Foolish men often write things that sound quite different from their original intent.

By

Lt Gen PG Kamath (Veteran)

 “A lot of Faujis would know Lt Gen PG Kamath (Veteran). He does not write Retd, I am following suit now. He has written a brilliant piece on OROP. This one has all the rationale and logic clear. Makes mince meat out of any other argument. Unfortunately not on any domain or website. As such I am posting the entire script here. - LT GEN ATA HASNAIN”

It was post 1971 and the nation was euphoric. Our countrymen were lauding the Indian Armed Forces for a spectacular victory that had changed the geography of the sub-continent. The nation was savouring the victory and more than 97,368 prisoners were in our Prisoners of War Camps. It was the second largest surrender in the Military History; second only to the surrender of Gen Von Paulus, German, 6th Army at Stalingrad in the Second World War. The Armed Forces were feted everywhere for its courage and the people were convinced that it was one instrument that would never let the country down.

Amidst this euphoria there were 4000 families, who had lost their

(WE CONTINUE APPROACHING THE VETERANS WHO HAVE YET TO HAVE THEIR MAIL IDs LISTED WITH US - PLEASE CONTACT <MGE.GRPS@GMAIL.COM>)

          RETIRED PHASE OF LIFE.   After serving the Armed Forces for decades every one has to embark upon the newer phase of his/her life called "Retirement". It could be harrowing time for some while the same it mat turn out into enjoyment with all the time to oneself do do whatever one likes. It is natural to feel bit lonely and cut-off after  retirement, as one is out of usual communications with old colleagues. In addition many issues which we never had to bother while in service crop up,  Pension Entitlements and its arrears,  Income Tax, Investments, ECHS, CSD etc etc issues begin to surface with surprise.

          SIGNALS-FAMILY MAILING GROUP (EARSTWHILE)   In the digital era these difficulties can be obviated to certain extent by creating lasting bonds among the Veterans Fraternity. We therefore, initiated the creation of our own "Signals Family Mailing Group" ten years ago primarily to e-unite --(CONTD)

**WILL**

YOUR WILL AND TESTAMENT 

(VERY VERY IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT)

We have time and again stressed on our readers to prepare their will so that their families donot have to rum from pillar to post after the veteran has left for his heavenly abode. It is a very simple document which needs no expertise or legal opinion. One can write in manuscript on a plain paper and express his WILL for distribution of his assets in the manner one feels like. In the absence of a WILL your wife and children will get equal share each after long long procedures in the civil court for succession certificate. One must know the lineage who all can claim part of the assets which will render into endless court hearings.

Before proceeding further we invite you to go through our posts on the subject as mentioned below :-

SPOUSE NAME MISMATCH- CORRECTION / CHANGE

MISMATCH OF SPOUSE's NAME -- We have recently noticed that there are far too many cases among not only the JCOs & ORs but also among the officers where the names of their Spouse or the beneficiary children mentioned in the official Service records specially the PPO, of the Service Personnel do not match in Toto with the Government issued identity cards/certificates (IDs). It leads to serious problems for the family when the time for the family pension comes. It may take 6 to 12 months before the problem is sorted and the spouse or the family member finally gets the family pension.
We therefore are posting the detailed actions which need to be taken by the veterans while still in good health have the mismatches corrected. Let us first understand as to the Correct Official name of any individual. The name and the date of birth as written in the tenth class certificate is the first and topmost to legally accepted to reckon with,

COMMISSIONED OFFICERS

WHAT IS MEANT BY  COMMISSIONED

Sadly and regretfully,  we the Armed Forces Officers  neither know the meaning of being a "commissioned" officer nor it is a part of our curriculum in the Training Academies or the officer’s courses at any level. You as a commissioned officer are the only category who get a commissioning parchment stamped in the name of the President, earlier it was the King or the Queen who stamped the parchment. By tradition the President uses his stamp and does not sign. No civil servant of even the so called organised Group “A” Officer gets anything like this. They get an appointment letter signed by some Under Secretary in their department.

A commission carries with it the authority of the Constitution to exercise the powers of the State so  vested in the President as mandated, specially of the command of soldiers. 

NATIONAL PENSION SCHEME - BENEFITS

Budget 2019: Income Tax Benefits Under National Pension System 
By Vinotha Tilak On Jul 15, 2019

In the Budget 2019, the government made certain changes to income tax rules on investment in the National Pension System (NPS). Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman increased the income tax exemption limit on withdrawal from NPS and announced some additional income tax benefits for employees who contribute towards the scheme. In NPS, which is a government-sponsored savings scheme, a government employee contributes towards pension from the monthly salary, whereas a matching contribution is made by the employer.

EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY OF MILITARY - CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS

Constitutional provisions for the executive authority of the military.

Constitutional military executive authority of the soldiers comes out of the following articles:

1. Article 18;- respects the "Title of Ranks" of Soldiers even after his death. Soldiers never retire. Title of Ranks never die.

2. Article 34:- Gives military a political executive authority to intervene by declaring martial law only to restore democracy. In India parliamentary democracy is supreme. This article makes Indian military as soldiers totally committed to democracy and "we the people".

YOUR-WILL WHY A MUST FOR VETERANS

WHY MAKING AN APPROPRIATE WILL IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR VETERANS

 (YOU CAN  IGNORE THIS AT THE PERIL OF YOUR SPOUSE)

It is unfortunate that most of us have no understanding of the importance of making a WILL . They keep pending or simply ignore. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT The wife is not the only Natural Heir of the person, after the death of the officer all his properties will be distributed equally among his wife and children.  It is equally valid in case of the wife as well. The Indian succession Act a copy of which is available on this site is very clear on this distribution to all the legal heirs. The big question here is whether you will not like to leave your wife as MASTER and absolute owner of all your assets or leave her to share your assets with children thereby denying her the right of being an independent QUEEN in her remaining life, rather than being partly or wholly dependent on children.

DEFINING SPIRITUALITY

SPIRITUALITY AND RELIGION

People often ask me this, "Why Spirituality?"

Well, the answer is quite simple. But before we attempt to answer that, we must know the meaning of the term Spirituality and Being Spiritual.

This again is very simple. What we have been doing is to confuse spirituality with religion and rituals. We think that everything that resembles religion may also be connected to Spirituality. Well, friends, Spirituality includes religion but religion does not encapsulate Spirituality. I will explain.
