1.     Qualifying service (QS)

2.     Average emoluments (AE)

3.     Monthly pension

4.     Death-cum-retirement Gratuity (DCRG)

5.     Family pension- Higher rate 

6.     Family pension- Normal rate

 

Qualifying Service – R 12(30) P I & R 9 to 31 & 57 P III

         

Service that qualifies for the grant of pension, calculated as follows…..

          Calculate the length of service from the date of first entry in government regular service till the date of ending the service, both days are inclusive…. Then deduct the non qualifying service…. Then add additional or special service if any… then rounding it.

Rounding  of  QS

QS for minimum pension – 9 years even a day – 10 years

QS for maximum pension – 29 years even a day- 30 years

In  the case of physically challenged- 2 years even a day- 3 years

QS for minimum DCRG – 5 years (no rounding is admissible in this case)

QS for maximum DCRG – 32 years even a day – 33 years

In normal case: - 6 months and above- upper rounding

                                below 6 months – ignored

 

 Average Emoluments

 

  R 12(23) P I & R 63 P III

  Last ten months’ duty pay.

  If any NQS during last 10 months and equal period is taken before that period.

  Pension, DCRG, CVP, FP should be rounded to the next higher Rs at last

  AE should not be rounded

  In CVP, 40% of pension should be rounded to lower Rs.

  DA: 50 Ps and above- upper rounding

        below 50 Ps. – ignored

 

PENSION = (AE/2) X (QS/30)

D.C.R.G = (L.M.P+DA) X QS/2

F.P (Normal Rate) = 30 % of L.M.P

FP (Higher Rate) = Twice the normal rate

                                    50% of L.M.P

                                    Pension (whichever is least)

Minimum Pension/Family Pension with effect from 01.07.2014 – Rs. 8500

Maximum pension/ Family Pension with effect from 01.07.2014 – Rs. 60000

 

Commutation of pension

  A portion of monthly pension can commute as lump sum.

  Maximum portion that can commute – 40%

  No commutation – if disciplinary proceedings is pending

  Commutation = CV X ….% of pension X 12

  Commutation value - based on next birthday

  Restoration period = 12 years for those who commuted at age of 54,55,56 since the commutation factor is 11.73, 11.42 and 11.1 respectively.

  Restoration period is the rounded figure of commutation factor.

  Commutation factor - upper rounding only.

  11.73 is rounded to 12, 11.42  and 11.1 is also rounded to 12

  No commutation after restoration.

  After commutation pension is reduced monthly pension

Average Emoluments

 

2)    An officer was drawing pay Rs. 37940 on 01.01.2015 and Rs. 38840 on 01.01.2016. his normal date of retirement is 31.01.2016. The average emoluments for pension is

 

(Average emoluments is the average of last 10 months duty pay)

Last 10 months are 04/15, 05/15, 06/15, 07/15, 08/15, 09/15, 10/15, 11/15, 12/15 & 01/16.

Pay from 04/15 to 12/15 is 37940. (9X37940) = 341460 (9 months pay)

Pay on 01/16 is 38840 (1X38840) = 38840 (1 month pay)

= 380300/10 = 38030

 

 3)    Calculate the average emoluments of an employee from the following details given. Date of retirement 31.03.2016, pay as on  01.04.2015  Rs. 45800, increment on 01.12.2015.  pay raised to Rs. 46900

 

(Average emoluments is the average of last 10 months duty pay)

Last 10 months  are  06/15, 07/15, 08/15, 09/15, 10/15, 11/15, 12/15, 01/16, 02/16 & 03/16

Pay from 06/15 to 11/15 is 45800 (6X45800) = 274800 (6 months pay)

Pay from 12/15 to 03/16 is 46900 (4X46900) = 187600 (4 months pay)

= 462400/10 = 46240

 

 DCRG

 

1)    DCRG admissible to  a government servant who retired on 30.04.2013, QS 28 years, last pay 26500, DA 53%

 

DCRG= (L.M.P+DA) XQ.S/2

= (26500+14045) X 28/2

=40545X14

=567630

2)    Calculate the DCRG admissible to the officer with following details.

Date of Retirement: 31.08.2018

Qualifying Service : 23 years

Last Pay :- 116880

D.A:- 20%

DCRG= (L.M.P+DA) XQ.S/2

= (116880+23376) X 23/2

=140256X11.5

=1612944

=1400000 ( Maximum DCRG as per 10th pay revision order  is 14 Lakhs.)

 

Pension & Family Pension

 

1)    An officer joined service on 01.07.83 and retired on 31.07.2016. If his qualifying service is only 28 years. Both  average  emoluments and Last Pay  is  Rs. 55350. would  be his monthly  pension.  Also calculate family pension admissible to the family.

 

Pension = (A.E/2) X (Q.S/30)

Average Emoluments = 55350

Qualifying Service = 28

Pension = (55350/2) X (28/30)

             = 25830

 Family Pension

For  the first 7 years  from the date of retirement family will get Family Pension  @ Higher Rate thereafter it reduces to normal rate.

 

Family Pension (Higher Rate) = 50% of Last Month Pay

                         = (50/100) X 55350

                          = 27675;  Limited to 25830

 (Family Pension higher rate will not be greater than monthly pension of the pensioner)

 

          Family Pension (Normal Rate) = 30% of Last Month Pay

                                                           = (30/100) X 55350

                                                           = 16605

 

Commutation

 

1)    An officers monthly pension is 25830, he commuted at the age of 56 with commutation factor 11.1. Calculate the Lump sum amount commuted by the officer  if he  decided to commute maximum.

 

Commutation = 40% of pension X 11.1 X 12

                       = 10332 X 11.1 X 12

                       = 1376223
