The above parameters for Grant-in-Aid were made applicable from the financial year 2013-14 on the basis of recommendations of “A committee for making recommendations for rationalisation of amount of Grant-in-Aid to identified Pensioners’ Associations”, as contained in this Department’s letter No.55/24/2013- P&PW(C) dated December 19, 2013 copy of which was also sent to all the identified Pensioners’ Associations.
