Little being done to rectify salary anomalies that affect my pension

I am one of the officers from the prestigious post of SLEAS-II in the Department of Education. I retired on 13.04.2011 after serving for 39 years. On my retirement, my paying office at the Sammanthurai, Zonal Education Office prepared my pension-related documents. While this was in progress some salary anomalies surfaced in my prior service of SLTS-1 and the current service of SLEAS-III& II.

I brought the above anomalies to the notice of the Public Administration Ministry and the Eastern Province Provincial Department of Education. The Ministry and the Provincial Department had requested the Sammanthurai, Zonal Education office to take necessary steps with regard to my salary anomalies. These two institutions had sent those requests on 8/5/2018 and 30/10/2018 respectively. But, I haven’t heard anything from that zonal office, so far.

In addition, I too had sent a request to the zonal office to rectify my salary anomalies on 07 /11/2018. But I have not received any reply.

I am a 67-year-old pensioner who is getting less as a result of the salary anomalies created by the above zonal office in 2011. And this salary anomaly surfaced because, the office seems to have ignored or failed to apply the provisions of E/ code section VII: 2:4 and circular Nos: 5:3:1: 11/94, 7/2000, 4/2003& the directive of the line Ministry of Education etc.

It is my fervent hope that the Department of Pensions, the custodian of all pensioners, would look into this matter urgently and rectify the anomalies.
