The Pensioner Doctors Association, Punjab (PDAP) has raised concerns regarding significant unpaid dues owed by the Punjab government, totaling approximately ₹50,000 crore. This amount pertains to various issues, including the implementation of the 2016 Pay Commission, pending Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) installments, and pension revision anomalies affecting retirees prior to 2016. Dr. D C Sharma, the association's president, emphasized that many pensioners are still awaiting full pension benefits after serving for 25 years. Furthermore, the PDAP is advocating for the inclusion of non-practising allowance (NPA) benefits, which have yet to be addressed. Dr. D S Bhullar, the vice-president of PDAP and coordinator for the retired medical and dental teachers' wing, expressed frustration over the government's failure to fulfill commitments made in previous court cases involving retired doctors. The association's demands reflect ongoing challenges faced by retired medical professionals in Punjab, highlighting the need for urgent government action to resolve these financial issues.
