Dear Friends,
In INDIA Polish Force is  insufficient to deal with low & order Problems even in Cities leave aside the rural areas which is totally absent. In all Metropolis it is irrationally diverted to wards VIP security duties.The conman men has to suffer due to so called VVIP/ VIP/ influential politicians.They do not hesitate to even amend the Constitution  to go on extending their  Privileges.
  Most of the govt. officials tend to work when bribed .The nexus between Politicians, Police and Criminals is taking the public granted &of no consequences. The definition of Democracy have gone haywire.It is been used as (Govt. Of the Politician, By the Politicians and for the politicians).All those who have money have no fear of law. Their battery of advocates can prolong the court cases till eternity. They can Purchase/threaten the complainants and or Witnesses to get acquitted.
< ONLY GOD MAY SAVE THIS NATION>

PREFACE



1.                         It is in response to the popular demand of Veterans in general and officers of Signals Forum NOIDA in particular to update and reissue the Useful Information for Welfare of Veterans and Senior Citizens & Their Next of Kin. The last Hand out, in booklet form, was issued in Sept 2006. 
2.                       In the mean time, number of new schemes has been implemented by the government orders have been issued such as winding up of AGIF-(MS), establishment of large number of ECHS Clinics, all over India and implementation of 6th Central Pay Commission Report.. It has become necessary to update the Information for the Veterans. I have collected most of the Information already published in Print & E-Media. I am obliged and Thankful to all of them. I have taken all precautions to verify the facts mentioned here, but advise all the readers, not to quote it as an authority.
3.                       This Booklet has been compiled by me getting most of the Inputs from Two Brochures Published By AG’s Branch, One; for Officers & Their NOK and the other for All Others. I obtained  Various Inputs  from; 6th CPC Report, Court Decisions & various published Material,  for that I am obliged and Sincerely thank all of them.
4.                         Mutual help Groups, Such Groups wherever formed with dedicated veterans to help each other has been very useful in mitigating hardships of fellow veterans. It requires mutual understanding that we all may face difficulties ourselves at any time and may need help in the hour of crisis. In addition, those who are in active service now, will be veterans one day and therefore should not feel that we are burden on them. We the Veterans Approach them for help when it is beyond our control. The SO-IN-Cs of The Corps of Signals has been proactive in helping Veterans & their Families. I Hope others are also doing so. It will go a long Way if The AG Branch should ensures that it is followed at all Mil Stations in India. All the Officers whether in staff or in units should also treat the Veterans, as their GOOD WILL Ambassadors. I will also advise our brother veterans NOT TO further over burden them . They are acutely under staffed.
5.                          Wish you all Very Happy and Healthy Long Life. I also request all of you to take timely action wherever needed. Suggestions for improvement of the contents are most welcome.   Lastly, I reserve all my Appreciation and admiration to the Report My Signals Blog and it’s team of  dedicated Officers and Staff, without them, it would have been very difficult to Reproduce it on their Blog. I take this opportunity to thank you All.

43.                                                                How to make A WILL:
(a)                 A WILL may be hand written or typed which is preferable for sake of clarity.
(b)                       There is no particular form.
(c)                                      Stamp paper is not essential but paper should be durable.
(d)                 Registration of a WILL is not mandatory but desirable to safeguardAgainst loss and fraud. It also obviates the necessity of witnesses        To appear in the court at the time of PROBATE of the WILL.
(e)                 For Registration of the WILL the TESTATOR and both the attesting witnesses have to appear, sign and attest the WILL in the presence of the Registrar. Each Individual should Carry two copies of recent Photographs.
44.                                                                Clauses in a WILL
(a)                                      . Name and address: - Here state you’re Name, father’s name and address     including your District.
(b)                                      Reasons and Intentions: Here state necessity or urgency if any for making the WILL
(c)                                       Sanity and own volition: - State that you are making the WILL voluntarily without any pressure and that you are in full control of your mental faculties.
(d)                                      Enumeration of Heirs and Properties:-Give names and father’s name of your spouse(s), Children, dependent father, mother and unmarried daughter(s).
(e)                                      Bequest: - Use clear and unambiguous language in allotting LEGACIES to each Heir. Intention conveyed by the WILL should be clearly defined. Uncertainty of intention renders the WILL Null and Void.
(f)                                           Appointment of Executor(s):- Be careful in nominating the Executors. Firstly an executor should be extremely dependable, honest of good health and younger in age and secondly he should be willing to take over the responsibility.
(g)                                      Execution and Attestation: - A WILL is to be signed by the TESTATOR or his nominated representative in the presence of the two attesting WITNESSES, WHO SHOULD SIGN IN PRESENCE OF EACH OTHER and say so in writing.
45.                                                                Registration of A WILL:-Register only single copy of the WILL to avoid confusion. If WILL has not been registered and one of the witness expires a fresh WILL have to be drown. Also at the time of probate of the WILL both the witnesses are required to be present in the court. To avoid it registration of the WILL is helpful. If an Executor predeceases the Testator a fresh WILL should be executed.. It is advisable to select witnesses and executors of younger age and enjoying good health. Each of them should be willing to under take the responsibility assigned to him.
46.                                                               Safe custody of a WILL.   For Safe Custody a WILL should  be kept either with the Registrar, the Solicitor, Banker, in your locker, with a dependable friend or in the house at a safe place.
47.                                                                Enforcement of a WILL.  A WILL is enforced, either by a Probate or by Letter of Administration (Succession Certificate). In case where witnesses can not be produced in the Court then a Letter of Administration is to Be Obtained from the District  Court.
48.                                                                Probate.
(a)                                         To obtain Probate of the WILL, the beneficiary or the Executor should make an application to the Distt. Judge U/S 264 of Indian Succession Act 1925. He may transfer the Case to the C J M of competent jurisdiction. In order to obtain the    Probate of the WILL, there are two legal requirements. Firstly, to establish in the civil court of law that the WILL in question had been made voluntarily and signed by the deceased person in the presence of independent witnesses
(b)                                         Secondly. To ascertain that there was no subsequent WILL executed by the deceased person. To establish the first requirement the persons who have signed as witnesses are required to appear in the District Court and give evidence to authenticate the WILL, in question. If the WILL has been registered, the appearance of witnesses in the civil court is dispensed with. To establish the second requirement the civil court promulgates NOTICE in Govt. Gazette and in local newspapers To Whom It May Concern to produce before the court within given period, any WILL, if held by any one claiming to be made by the said diseased person. When any other member of the family does not contest the WILL in question, a Probate of the WILL is Ordered by the court. In the circumstances when WILL is not registered and the Witnesses to the WILL have predeceased or not traceable, then the heir has to obtain succession certificate for claiming estate of the deceased.
49.                                                               Obtaining Succession certificate: -
(a)                                         Where no WILL has been executed, found or produced, a legal heir requires a Succession Certificate to posses the legacy
(b)                                         To obtain a Succession Certificate a legal heir should apply to the Distt. Court to issue it, enclosing original death certificate of the Deceased and proof in support of his claim.
(c)                                         The Court may issue notice inviting objections if any from other claimants, returnable within three months
(d)                                         .If satisfied the court may appoint an Administrator/Executor to execute the Estate or issue a Succession Certificate to the applicant.

METHOD OF CALCULATION OF FAMILY PENSION BASED ON PENSION LAST DRAWN BY THE JCO/NCO/OR.

1.   Let the pension last drawn be   X                               x=15980
2.   Let the rate of DA prevalent be di %                        di=58%
3.   Basic pension of the deceased pensioner = X(100/158) =15980/1.58
       It was 70 % of total pay                                   =10114
4.   Pay of the Pensioner, P=10114(100/70)           =14450
5.   Basic family pension, @ 60%  of pay; F=14450(60/100)  = 8670   
6.   Total Family Pension on demise of pensioner; Ft  = 8670+di
       From 21/11/2011 Till 31/12/2011=8670(1.58) =13698
7.    Family Pension from 1/1/2012 till date=8670(1.65)=14306, dii=65%                                                               
8.   In case the Pension last drawn is different the above formulae shall be
      Used for calculations.
9.   The above formulae works out to be; Family Pension =pension last drawn ( 100/70)x60,or 85.71 % of last pension drawn by the pension.
