Answer 1

Dear Client,

I understand your query. I suggest that you send a legal notice to the bank, highlighting the specific years in which the lapse on the bank's side occurred and the pension was delayed, and give 30 days to credit the pension amount.

If the 30-day period expires and you do not receive your pension, then file a complaint with the RBI Complaint Management System.

If the matter is still not resolved, then you can approach the Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT) to address your legal issue.

Hope this answer helps with your legal query raised by you!

If you require detailed legal advice, discussion of your documents, or guidance regarding the further legal course of action, you may opt for a one-to-one consultation.
