1. The Compassionate Fund has been started for the relief of families of Government servants left
in indigent circumstances through the premature death of the person upon whom they depend for
support.

2. The proceeds of this fund in the shape of interest on capital will be treated as annual basic grant
to be utilised for the grant of relief to the destitute widows and other dependants of deceased officer.

carried forward to the credit of similar expenditure in succeeding years.

3. The principal conditions laid down for regulating grants from the fund are:-

(a) Grants from the fund will be restricted to cases of exceptional character only.

(b) The deceased officer must have rendered meritorious services as a public servant. Unusual
meritorious service shall give special claim for consideration.

(d) In more ordinary cases preference shall be given to dependants of officers who have
completed many years service and have just failed to claim their pension.

(e) Other things being equal preference will be given to the dependants of those who have been
on low rates of pay.

(f) As a general rule a grant shall not be given if the salary of the deceased officer exceeded
Rs. 500 a month.

(g) Care will be taken that too many grants are not made to families of officers who have been
serving at the Headquarters of the Government.

4. The grants will be sanctioned in accordance with the following rules:-

(i) No pension will ordinarily be granted from the Fund, but in any special cases yearly grants
made will be for a limited period only to defray the expenses of the education of children.
120 [SCH. VI

(ii) The amount of relief in each case should be equal to half of the last monthly pay of the
deceased official for each completed year of service both qualifying and non-qualifying
subject to a maximum of Rs. 1,200, in anyone case.

(iii) Applications from survivors of deceased officials with less than 3 years service in the
case of hereditary State Subjects and 5 years in the case of others should not be
considered.

Note.-The restrictions do not apply to cases for grant of relief from the fund which fall under rule 3
clause (c) above.

(iv) Applications from survivors of officials who died before the commencement of Samvat
year 1975 in the case of hereditary State subjects and Samvat year 1980 in the case of
others should not be entertained.

5. The fund will be administered by a Board consisting of the following:-

(a) Revenue Minister,

(b) Finance Minister, and

(c) Chief Secretary.

The Secretary to Government in the Revenue Department will be ex-officio Secretary of the
Board. Applications should be sent to the Secretary of the Board through the Department concerned
and should be accompanied by information as to how for the conditions mentioned in Para (3) above
have been satisfied.

The Character Roll or Service Book of the deceased Government servant when available (or its
equivalent) should invariably accompany the recommendation for the grant of a Compassionate
Gratuity with a report from the Commissioner of the Province in which the deceased family resides as
to the circumstances of the family.

On receipt of these details the Board will pass orders on the case. The orders of the Board will be
communicated to the Department concerned and in those cases where a gratuity or pension is
sanctioned by the Accountant General also.

6. The amounts granted out of Compassionate Fund to the widow or widows or survivors of a
deceased Government servant will not be liable to attachment for his liabilities.

 124 [SCH. IX

(2) For purposes of determining work and conduct, the usual course is to refer to the A. C. Rs. of
the concerned for the preceding 3 years. In certain subordinate services the maintenance of A. C. Rs.
is not in vogue and in many cases the availability of A. C. Rs. in chain may not be possible for the
reason that it has not been maintained in an office where the incumbent has worked or for reasons of
a person having worked in different offices in broken spells in a year. A competent authority may in
case where non-availability of A. C. Rs. in chain is attributable to the circumstances beyond control
and where it is satisfied that work and conduct of the incumbent is as a whole satisfactory record
necessary certificate in each case to that effect before making the declaration. Similarly in respect of

deputation or on temporary transfer at the time when his juniors in the department are declared quasi-
permanent.

(c) The total number of Government servants declared permanent/ quasi-permanent in any service
should not exceed the total number of temporary/permanent posts sanctioned for a particular category
or class of that service.

(d) A person who has been declared permanent will cease to be quasi-permanent if he holds any
such status before permanency. Similarly a Government servant who has been declared permanent in
any post need not be made quasi-permanent in ,any higher post in which he may be appointed in
officiating/temporary capacity.

(e) Unlike confirmation, quasi-permanency need not be made from post to post unless the
Government servant loses the status of quasi-permanency in a Department/service for one or the other
reason.

2
4. (1) A declaration issued under rule 3 need not specify the particular post or a particular grade
in a cadre against which a Government servant is declared as quasi-permanent. An employee may be

permanent in the service to which he belongs regardless of whether he officiated or not on the post
against which he may have been declared as quasi-permanent.

(2) Deleted.

5. (1) The service of a temporary Government servant who is not in quasi-permanent service shall

either by the Government servant to the appointing authority, or by the appointing authority to the
Government servant.

(2) The period of such notice shall be one month, unless otherwise agreed to by the Government
and by the Government servant:

Provided that the service of any such Government servant may be terminated forthwith by
payment to him of a sum equivalent to the amount of his pay plus allowances for the period of the
notice or, as the case may be, for the period by which such notice falls short of one month or any
agreed longer period.

(3) Where a notice is given by the appointing authority terminating the service of a temporary
Government servant, or where the service of any such Government servant is terminated either on the
expiry of the period of such notice or forthwith by payment of pay plus allowances, the Government
or any other authority specified by the Government in this behalf, may, of its own motion or otherwise
reopen the case and after calling for the record of the case and after making such enquiry as it deems

service.

Explanation.--Under Rule 6 and Rule 7, a quasi-permanent employee is entitled to the same

treatment in respect of disciplinary matters as a permanent employee holding the specified post. Since
reduction of status from permanent to temporary is not one of the recognised penalties that can be
imposed on a permanent Government servant under the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Service
(Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1956, a quasi-permanent employee cannot also be
relegated to a temporary status for reasons of inefficiency or as a disciplinary measure but the
penalties permissible under the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Service (Classification, Control and
Appeal) Rules, 1956 may be awarded in the manner prescribed in these rules.

7. A Government servant in quasi-permanent service 1[ x x x ] shall, as from the date on which his
service is declared to be quasi-permanent, be entitled to the same conditions of service in respect of
leave, pay and allowances, joining time, grant of advances (Motor Car, House Building, etc.) as a
Government servant in permanent service holding the specified post. In disciplinary matters also, the
same conditions will apply.

8. Notwithstanding anything contained in Rule 6, the services of a Government servant to whom

these rules apply, may be terminated at any time, on his being declared physically unfit for

than as a disciplinary measure or by resignation, be eligible for:-

(a) a gratuity at the rate of half a month's pay for each completed year of quasi-permanent
service, such gratuity being payable on the

basis of the pay admissible to such Government servant in respect of the specified post
on the last day of his service; and

(b) any gratuity to which he is entitled in respect of his service before his appointment to
quasi-permanent service.

1
Provided that in case of continuous quasi-permanent service of 5 years or more a
Government servant who may not have been confirmed on any post before the date of
his retirement (including retirement on invalid pension) shall be entitled to count the
entire period of quasi-permanent service and the continuous temporary service whether
on pensionable or 2[temporary] establishment 3[department] (other than non-pensionable
establishments mentioned in Art. 177) preceding his quasi-permanency qualifying for
pension and he shall be eligible for pension and benefits as if the entire period of
temporary service and the quasi-permanent service were permanent and pensionable.

This shall be deemed to have come into effect from 1-1-1971].

10. Where a Government servant in quasi-permanent service is appointed substantively to a

permanent post, the entire period of his quasi-permanent service shall be deemed to be qualifying
,. service like permanent pensionable service for the grant of pension or gratuity as the case may be.

annual review of all temporary posts including quasi-permanent posts in his department which
deserve to be made permanent Such review shall inter alia indicate the reasons for making such posts
permanent and also give the financial implications of the proposed permanency. The review shall be
made in December every year and forwarded to the Secretary to Government, General Department by
31st of December each year for being processed in order to obtain orders of the Government thereon

This shall be deemed to have come into force with effect from 1-4-1973.

Art. 240-A of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Service- Regulations.

6. Ordinarily commutations shall not be allowed of a compassionate allowance granted under

Article 170 of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Service Regulations but the sanctioning authority may
sanction commutation of such an allowance if they are satisfied that commutation will be for the
permanent benefit .of the commuter’s family.

7. In cases where anticipatory pension be permitted under Article 292 (a) J&K C.S.R's.

such pension within these rules in consultation with the Accountant General, on the conditions.
envisaged in the declaration, under part (i) of Article 292-A ibid to be obtained separately for

1
Note. -The applicant who has clearly indicated his intention to commute the maximum amount
of his pension or expressed the amount proposed to be commuted as a fraction or percentage of the
full and final pension, within the maximum permissible limit, and is allowed to commute such
fraction or percentage of the anticipatory pension sanctioned to him on the earlier occasion, shall
neither be required to apply afresh nor to produce a fresh certificate of medical examination for
commutation of the difference between the fraction or percentage of the final pension and the
anticipatory pension. As the commutation in such cases is payable in two installments, one out of the
anticipatory pension and the other after final assessment of pension, the report from the audit officer
will have to be called for in Part II of Form A for commutation of civil pension twice A fresh
sanction of the administrative authority for the difference of the commuted value i.e. the maximum
value accrued minus value commuted provisionally shall be necessary. This will also apply to cases
where the pension finally sanctioned to a retired Government servant is subsequently revised
retrospectively.

In case the intention to commute the maximum amount is not expressed in the earlier application.
a Government servant desiring to commute a further portion of his pension on finalisation of the
amount of his pension shall be allowed the same subject to examination by Medical Board. The date
on which the Medical Board signs the medical report shall be the date of effect for the difference of
the amount of the portion of pension to be commuted for which medical examination is conducted.

8. A commutation once applied for, sanctioned and given effect to, cannot be rescind i.e. the
portion of a pension commuted cannot be restored on refund of its capitalised value. The Head of the
Department or other officer will scrutinize the application, and in particular will see that commutation
will be to the distinct and permanent advantage of the pensioner or his family, and that the residue of
pension which will be left over after commutation plus income from other sources, will be sufficient
to maintain the pensioner and his family in accordance with his status in life after retirement, due
regard being had to the manner in which the amount realised on commutation will be applied. The
forwarding authority is further required to make recommendations as regards the extent and the
purpose for which commutation is desired.

For this purpose the sanctioning authority should obtain a report in the following form from the
Head of the Department or the Head of the Office under whom he was employed before retirement: -

“I am satisfied that the residue of pension, which will be left after commutation, plus income
from other sources, is sufficient to maintain the pensioner in accordance with his status in life in
retirement.”

9. If the applicant makes any statement, found to be false within his knowledge, or willfully
suppresses any material fact in answer to any question written or oral, put to him in connection
with his medical examination, the sanctioning authority may cancel the sanction at any time
before payment is actually made, and such a statement or suppression may be treated as grave
misconduct for the purpose of Article 168 J & K C. S. R's.

10. The lump sum payable shal1 be calculated in accordance with the appended table of present
values. In the event of table of present value applicable to an application having been modified
between the date of administrative sanction to commutation and the date on which commutation is due
to become absolute, payment shall be made in accordance with modified table, but it is open to the
applicant, if the modified table is less favorable to him than that previously in force to withdraw his
application by notice in writing, dispatched within 14 days of the date on which he receives notice of
modification.

11. In the case of a pensioner who is re-employed in Government service and who commutes a
portion of his pension before or after such reemployment his pension, for the purposes of the rules in'
Chapter XX of the J & K C. S. R's. shall be taken at the ful1 amount which he might have drawn if he
had not commuted a portion of it.

12. A pensioner suffering from any of the diseases enumerated below which are considered to be
so dangerous to life that they may prove fatal at any time is ineligible for commutation viz.

(i) Aneurysm (ii) Tuberculosis of lungs (iii) Diabetes (iv) High blood pressure over 200 systolic
(v) High blood pressure over 160 systolic with Albuminuria (vi) Un-compensated Cardiac Disease
(vii) Pernicious Anemia (viii) Leukaemia (ix) Angina Pectorix (x) Apoplexy (xi) Ascites (xii) Beri
Beri (xiii) After operation for cancer (xiv) Mitral Stenosis (xv) Insanity.

13. An application for commutation of pension in Form A, Part I, together with a signed
declaration in Form C, Part I shal1 be addressed to the authority competent to sanction ordinary
pension through the Head of Office in which he/she is or was employed immediately before
retirement, or, if he/she is or was himself/herself the Head of the Office, through the Head of his/her
Department if the applicant is still in service or has retired, but his/her pension has not yet been
sanctioned. In other cases or where the pension is already sanctioned the application will be made
direct to that authority in both the cases, the application will be transmitted forthwith to the Audit
Officer, who reports title on the applicant's pension.

SECTION II-SUBMISSION OF APPLICATIONS

14. The applicant must give full information regarding his financial position, the need for
commutation and the advantage that he expects to derive therefrom.

15. Particular care should be taken in order to avoid delay, that the class of pension invalid,
superannuation, retiring or compensation and the
SCH. X] 133

correct amount are given in the preamble- on Form A and that all the other information required is
supplied correctly. The form of application commutation of pension (Forms A, Band C) will be
furnished to a pensioner on request by the Treasury Officer who pays his/her pension and in the case of
a pensioner drawing his/her pension through an agency other than a State Treasury by the Accountant
General. No extra copies of the Forms will be supplied to pensioners. A Government servant applying
for commutation of pension before actual date of his/her retirement will obtain the form for application
from the Treasury through his/her Drawing Officer.

16. In the case of a pensioner whose age for the purpose of commutation is directed by the
Medical Authority to be taken as greater than actual age, a request for permission to reduce the amount
for commutation within the period prescribed in these rules should be considered as tantamount to a
withdrawal of application, such as a request should accordingly be treated as new application.

SECTION III-REPORTS BY THE ACCOUNTS OFFICER

17. In cases where pension has not been reported upon by the Accountant General, the application
for commutation should be submitted after the report has been obtained in advance from the
Accountant General about the admissibility of the amount of the pension in advance. For this purpose
verifications should be secured six months earlier than the date of retirement. The Accountant General
will, while verifying service fix the amount of pension (Provisional), subject to the continuance of the
applicant uninterruptedly in service till the date of his retirement from service.

18. In order to avoid delay and to save the pensioner from loss Accountant General should issue a
report on the commutation of pension in advance of the formal report on the title to pension, in cases
in which the report on the title to pension is not likely to be issued in sufficient time to permit of
arrangements being carried through before the applicant's next birthday. Provided, that the portion of
the pension to be commuted is clearly well below one-half of the approximate amount of the total
pension likely to be sanctioned and the uncommuted residue of the likely pension is also well above
the limits prescribed in these rules. If in such a case, the commutation becomes absolute before the
pension is formally sanctioned, the payment of commutation money should not be authorized until the
formal sanction of the pension is received, but intimation of the possibility of loss because of delay in

rendered by the person during the emergency caused by the Chinese Aggression,
1962.

1-A. Lien.--Permanent civil employees shall be allowed to retain lien on their

respective civil posts during the period of their absence on military service to
enable them to return to their civil posts on release from military service.

The temporary civil Government servants who are permitted to take up

military service should if they so apply, be permitted to return to their civil posts,
on release from military service provided those posts are still in existence at that
time and the service rendered is ‘approved' military service.

2. Pay.--The officers shall be entitled to draw during military service, the civil
rates of pay and allowances which would' have been admissible to them from
time to time, if they had not proceeded on military service, or the military rates of

military service as J. C. Os/other ranks, the civil rates of pay and allowances
which would have been admissible to them from time to time shall, however, be
reduced by Rs, 25 per month on account of free rations.

Where the civil rates of pay and allowances are admissible, the difference
between those rates and the military rates will be paid by the deface authorities
and a debit thereof will subsequently be raised against the Civil Department
concerned.

3. Increments and promotions.-The period of the military service shall be

treated as service outside the ordinary line for the purpose of, Art. 79 (b) as a
result of which besides periodical increments the officials, will be given such
substantive or officiating promotion in the cadre in which they
 SCH. XIII] 225

.. were inducted in a substantive or officiating capacity prior to their taking up

military service, to which they would otherwise have been entitled if they had not
proceeded on military service.

4. Leave.--(a) The officers shall not be allowed to earn leave during military
service according to the civil leave rules applicable to them before their transfer to
military service. The amount of leave actually taken by such persons while in
military service shall be deducted from their civil leave accounts. Any case of

(b) Temporary civil Government servants will, during military service, be

governed by the military leave rules in all respects.

(c) In all cases, the leave salary will be paid by the defence authorities and no
leave salary contribution shall be demanded by the Civil Departments from the

Provident Fund (State) will be calculated as laid down in the rules of different
funds concerned. The Government contribution where payable, towards the
Provident Fund account of a subscriber during the period of military service will
form a charge against the Defence Service Estimates. Those estimates will,
however, be entitled to a refund of the whole amount charged thereto on this
account, or on a proportion thereof as the case may be, in any individual case in
/
which the whole of the Government contribution with interest thereon, or a
fraction thereof, is withheld.

Government Instructions.--(i) On final selection of a civil Government to take up military service,

for the difference shall be raised against the Civil Accountant General by the CDA (ORS) who shall
also afford credits to him for the recoveries made on account of Provident Fund advances etc as noted

(V) For purposes of determining whether civil pay and allowances are higher than the military pay
and allowances, the following elements shall be taken into account from Civil and Military Code:

below will also be taken into account :

the Government servant would have continued to draw the
duty allowance.

(2) Such duty allowance will be reckoned so long as the

Government servant would have drawn the duty allowance.

(3) Such duty allowance will be computed in the nature

of personal pay to be absorbed in future increases in pay on
the civil side.
 SCH. XIII] 227

(iv) All the local and compensatory allowances shall be regulated in accordance with the provisions of the
..
Military Pay Code applicable at the place of posting. Hazard pay, high altitude allowances, field area concessions

(viii) The Civil Government servant will continue as a member of the Provident Found to which he was
subscribing before taking over Military duties. Contribution to the Fund will be deducted by the Military authorities
and recoveries made will be intimated to the Civil Accounts authorities concerned for adjustment in their books. In
case any Government servant was not a subscriber of any Provident Fund before transfer to Military duty, he shall be
.called upon to become a member of the DSOP/AFPP Fund. In that case, the accounts of the officer will be
maintained direct by the Military authorities. Any advance to be drawn from the Provident Funds shall be sanctioned
by the competent Military authorities in consultation with the authorities controlling the Provident Fund concerned
any payments and recoveries made will be intimated to them.

Government servant avails himself of leave during the period and he will be allowed to draw only the civil leave
salary for this period. The transit period shall not in any case exceed the joining time admissible under the rules
applicable to the Civil Government servants concerned. The disbursement of pay and allowances to the persons
concerned for such periods shall be made by the Defence authorities and necessary debits in respect thereof will be
raised subsequently against the Civil Department concerned.

entitled to conveyance to the intended place of residence in India at the same rates as admissible to
corresponding ranks in the Army etc.

(d) The following concession will be allowed to reservists (other than officers) only.

'Filling up of vacancies.--The vacancies caused by the calling up of reservists may be filled on a

purely temporary basis subject to the existing orders on the filling, up of such vacancies for the
duration of the emergency. Temporary posts which were held by reservists even if they are made
permanent should not be tilled on permanent basis by persons holding them temporary in their place.

(e) The following concessions will be allowed to reservists (who are officers) only:-

Traveling allowance will be admissible as under from the Defence Service Estimates:-

(1) When an officer is called up for training he will be entitled to the same traveling allowance by

traveling on duty. These allowances are payable only for actual journey performed and will be limited
to the maximum admissible, from the place at which the Civil post is held/permanent place of
residence in India, to the place of training and return or back to any other station .not involving extra
expenditure to the State.

When an officer is called up for active service and also on termination thereof he will be entitled
to the same T. A. as above.

(2) The period of absence from duty of Civilian Government servants occasioned by their
interview/medical examination etc. in connection with their joining the above organisations should be
treated as special casual leave. This concession would, however, be admissible only in those case
where it may not be possible for the Government servants concerned to attend to their duties after the
interview/medical examination etc. If a Government servant withdraws his candidature at the
interview he would not be entitled to any special casual leave.

1
6. Record of Service.--Entires in the Service Books of the Government
servants allowed to take up military service shall be made as per following
procedure:-

(a) Entires in Service Books regarding pay and allowances drawn in military
service:-

In respect of cases where Government servants are entitled to civil rates of

pay and allowances during military service, the increment including
crossing the Efficiency Bar in the scale of pay will continue to be granted by
the military authorities, the crossing of Efficiency Bar being subject to the
specific sanction of the competent authority unless any punishment having
the effect of stopping of increments or pay and allowances is reported by the
military authorities. The entry should accordingly be made by the civil
authorities at the appropriate time indicating that sanction to the crossing of
Efficiency Bar has

1. Inserted vide F.D. Notification SRO-384 dated 15-9-1966.

SCH. XIII] 229

been given where such Efficiency Bar is involved. As regards cases

where Government servants are allowed military rates of pay and
allowances, the entries should be made by the civil authorities after
obtaining necessary information from the military authorities.

(b) Entries regarding leave availed of during military service:-

As temporary and quasi-permanent Government servants are fully governed

by the military leave rules during the period of military service and do not
earn any leave under the civil leave rules during such service, there is no
question of making any entry in their civil leave account/service book. On
the other hand, permanent Government servants earn leave under the civil
leave rules during military service and allowed to carry forward the
unavailed of leave, on their reversion to civil departments. In their cases,
the entries in their civil leave account and service books should be made
by the civil authorities after their reversion to their civil appointments.

(c) Recording of the certificate of verification of service in the service books :-

As the record of service of officers permitted to take up military service

during the present emergency will be kept by the military authorities, in one
form or the other and also their pay and allowances will be disbursed by
them, there is no need of recording certificates of verification of service in
the service books by the civil authorities concerned in respect of the period
of military service. The necessary verification for this period will be done by
the military authorities. On reversion of such officers to the civil
appointments, a suitable note of this verification having been done by the
military authorities should, however, be recorded by the civil authorities in
the service book of the officer on the basis of the facts supplied by the
military authorities.

The above procedure would also apply mutatis mutandis to Civil Government
servants who are members of the Territorial Army/Auxiliary Air Force/Defence
reserves and are embodied or called up.

[Referred to in Note 6 below Art. 185]

Rules governing allocation of pensionary liability between the Central and the State Governments (Extracts from
Appendix 3, Account Code Vol. I)

(i) For the purpose of these rules,

(a) length of service" means length of "qualifying service".

(b) Service under a Government includes period for which a Government servant drew pay or leave salary from that Government.

(c) When pensionary charges are apportioned under these rules between different Governments on the basis of length of service, the period
of probation or training during which the Government servant did not hold a sanctioned charge should be excluded from the calculation
of such service.

(d) Foreign service should be treated as service under the Government, which received or remitted, as the case may be, the contribution for
pension in respect of such service.

(e) Compassionate allowances are treated as pensions.

(ii) The pensionary liability under these rules shall be distributed among the employing Governments in proportion to the periods for which the
Government servant concerned has drawn pay or leave salary from each Government, i.e. in proportion to the length of service rendered under
each.

(iii) When a deficiency in qualifying service is condoned, the period condoned should be reckoned as service under the Government which con-
dones it.

(iv) A Government servant, who during the last three years of his service served under one Government but was concurrently remunerated by both
Governments or who served under and was remunerated by both the Governments simultaneously, should be considered to have served during this
period under each of these Governments for a period proportionate to the cost which each Government incurred.

1. Inserted vide F. D. Notification SRO-318 dated 30-9-1964.

SCH. XVI] 311

(v) Services of such retired Government servants shall be expressed in terms of months, 15 days or more being regarded as a month.
When share of pension debitable to a particular Government comes to less than a rupee it shall be neglected.

(vi) When a portion of such pension is commuted by payment of the capitalised value of a portion of his pension to the pensioner, the
amount commuted may be taken as being in absorption or reduction of the shares debitable to the different Governments in the order in
which those shares rise from the least to the largest amount.

Thus if out of a pension of Rs. 200 per month which is apportioned as follows :-

State … Rs. 50

Centre … Rs. 150

Rs. 100 is commuted, the commutation will have the effect of extinguishing the share of Rs. 50 debitable to the State and reducing from Rs.
150 to Rs. 100 the share debitable to Centre.

The capitalised value of the amount commuted shall be, debited to the respective Government, in proportion to the amounts by which their
monthly shares of the pensions have been reduced

(vii) In respect of "Leave Salary" the rules of allocation apply only to Government servants governed by the leave rules under the
Fundamental Rules. In. such cases the incidence of leave salary shall be determined by the provisions of Appendix 3 Account Code Vol. I.
For Central Government servants governed by the Revised Leave Rules, 1933, and the State Government servants governed by the Leave
Rules of the State there is no need to allocate the leave salary inasmuch as the recoveries by way of contribution at the rate of 11 % towards
leave salary shall be made from the borrowing Governments.

In the case of Central Government employees to whom Revised Leave Rules, 1933, do not apply, the rates of monthly contribution for
leave salary payable during active service shall be :-

1. Members of the All-India and Class I Central

Services subject to Special Leave Rules …16 2/3 %

2. Members of the AU-India and Class I Central …15%

Services subject to ordinary Leave Rules

3. Members of Class 11 and Subordinate …12%
