ORDER:

2. The Tamil Nadu Government Pensioners' Family Security Fund Scheme Contribution from the Pensioners was not enhanced when the fund amount was enhanced from Rs. 25,000/- to Rs.35,000/- and the monthly Contribution was enhanced marginally from Rs.70/- to Rs.80/ when the Family Security Fund amount was enhanced from Rs.35,000/- to Rs.50,000/

3. In the Government order sixth read above, the Pensioners' contribution towards Tamil Nadu Government Pensioners' Family Security Fund Scheme has been enhanced from Rs.80/- per month to Rs.150/- per month with effect from 01.07.2021 to run the scheme effectively and for settling the claims without any backlog. 4. In the letter eighth read above, the Director of Pension has stated that the amount of Rs.25.00 crore sanctioned as a one-time grant as advance in the reference seventh read above was fully utilized for settling the claims in respect of 5000 applications for the period from September 2020 to 13.01.2021. Before COVID-19 i.e., during the period from January 2019 to June 2021 nearly 1200-1600 applications were received, out of which 800 applications were settled from out of the funds received as subscription duly reconciled by the Office of the Accountant General, Chennai. After June 2021 nearly 2700-3400 applications have been received, of which only 1300-1400 applications can be settled from the funds received as subscription duly reconciled by the Office of the Accountant General, Chennai.
