damages to forests.

II. To encourage the prevention of Kuth smuggling, the following rewards

may be paid to any Non-Gazetted Officer of the Government or to any private
person who is instrumental in or gives information leading to the detection
of offences under the Kuth Act or the recovery of the stolen Kuth up to
Rs. 50 in each case and in addition, where stolen Kuth of more than one
maund is recovered, up to Rs. 50 for each maund so recovered.

Note.–_Rewards up to Rs. 300 in each case may be sanctioned by the

of property under the Jammu and Kashmir Forest Act, 1987, the
Magistrate by whom the case has been decided, is authorised
to grant such rewards and in such proportion as he may think fit
to any person or persons who have contributed to the seizure of
the property confiscated or the conviction of the offender,
provided that the total amount of reward shall not exceed the
estimated value of property confiscated plus the amount of any
fine imposed.

(b) If in any case the fine and the proceeds of the property confiscated
cannot be immediately realized, the Magistrate deciding the case
shall at once pay the reward (provided that it does not exceed
Rs. 50). If in any cases the Magistrate considers that more than
Rs. 50 should be distributed as reward, he shall distribute Rs. 50 at
once and shall submit his recommendations for larger rewards to the
Chief Conservator of Forests who shall have power to sanction
rewards not exceeding Rs. 100. If the Chief Conservator of Forests

the funds under the rule, the fine on recovery shall be paid over
to him.
(d) If after payment of the reward the conviction is reversed in appeal,
the amount paid away in reward shall not be recovered from the
persons to whom it has been paid unless it shall appear
that they have acted fraudulently in the case.

(e) In case where under the Jammu and Kashmir Forest Act, 1987, a Forest
Officer has accepted a sum of money as compensation for any damage
which may have been committed, the Chief Conservator of Forests may
authorise the payment of a portion of the amount realised not exceeding
three-fourth up to a maximum of Rs. 100 as a reward to any person
or persons who may have contributed to the discovery of the
offender.

(f) If in any case, the Chief Conservator of Forests considers that more
than Rs. 100 should be distributed as rewards, he shall distribute

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. The amount of
the basic grant will be cumulative, the unexpended balance of one year’s grant
being 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.

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.
88 [ 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.

dated 15th November, 1961).

1. (1) These rules may be called the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services
(Temporary Service) Rules, 1961.

(2) Subject to the provisions of sub-rule (3), these rules shall apply to all
persons who hold a civil post under the Government and who are under the
rule making control of the Governor but who do not hold a lien on any post

(a) personnel of Jammu and Kashmir Militia ;

(b) Government servants engaged on contract ;

(c) Government servants not in whole-time employment ;

(d) Government servants paid out of contingencies ;

(e) persons employed in work charged establishments ;

2
Provided that the ex-servicemen who are re-employed after their
retirement from army at the age of 45 years or earlier shall not be debarred
from the benefits of these rules if they otherwise fulfil the requirements of
these rules.

from the date on which a declaration issued under rule 3 takes

effect and consisting of periods of duty and leave (other than

extraordinary leave without allowances) after that date ;
1
(c) Deleted.

(d) “temporary service” means service against a temporary post and

officiating service in a permanent post under the Government.
2
3. (1) A Government servant shall be eligible for being declared as quasi-
permanent if he has been in continuous Government service for more than
3 years in a department which is not as a whole temporary :—

(a) employees may be declared quasi-permanent against permanent

posts or such temporary posts which have been in existence for
3 years or more ; and

(b) against such temporary posts transferred from plan to non-plan

establishment which have been in existence for three years or more
on non-plan establishment ;

(c) no person may be declared quasi-permanent against a plan

post.

(2) In a department which as a whole is temporary,—

(a) such posts of the Department may be declared as quasi-permanent

which have been in existence for 10 years or more and are borne

for quasi-permanency may be declared quasi-permanent against the
posts declared quasi-permanent as per(a) above ;

(d) powers for declaring posts quasi-permanent in such department

shall vest in the Administrative Department.
2
3-A. (1) The authority competent to declare a Government servant as quasi-
permanent shall be the appointing authority. Before a declaration of quasi-

suitability of the concerned Government servant in respect of minimum service,
age, qualification, work and conduct.

In issuing declarations of quasi-permanency the principle of seniority shall

invariably be followed.

2. Deleted/Recast ibid.
92 [ 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 any category of employees in
whose case the practice of maintaining A. C. Rs. is not in vogue, the certificate
of good work and conduct by Head of Office may be taken as conclusive.

1
3-B. (a) If a Government servant who has been declared quasi-permanent
in a department gives up service from that department for joining another
department he will lose the status of quasi permanency in his earlier
department. Similarly when an incumbent is transferred permanently from one
cadre/department to another, he will cease to retain the status of quasi-
permanency with change in cadre/department.

(b) There may be no objection to declare a person quasi-permanent who

if otherwise eligible, is on 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 declared as
quasi-permanent in the service to which he belongs regardless of whether
1. Inserted vide F. D. Notification SRO-258 dated 15-05-1980.
2. Recast ibid.
SCH. IX ] 93

he officiated or not on the post against which he may have been declared
as quasi-permanent.

Note.––Declarations of quasi-permanency made in the past under the rules

as were in vogue then shall not be reopened.
1
(2) Deleted.

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

permanent service shall be liable to termination on the expiry of the life of
the post or at any time by notice in writing given 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 fit, may—

(a) confirm the action taken by the appointing authority ;

(b) withdraw the notice ;

(c) reinstate the Government servant in service ; or

(d) make such order in the case as it may consider proper :

Provided that no case shall be reopened under this sub-rule after expiry
of three months—

(i) in a case where notice is given, from the date of notice ;

(ii) in a case where no notice is given, from the date of termination

of service.

94 [ SCH. IX

(4) Where a Government servant is reinstated in service under sub-rule

(3), the order of reinstatement shall specify :—

(a) the amount or proportion of pay and allowances, if any, to be paid

to the Government servant for the period of his absence between
the date of termination of service and the date of reinstatement ; and

(b) whether the said period shall be treated as a period spent on duty
for any specified purpose or purposes.

6. The service of a Government servant in quasi-permanent service shall

be liable to termination in the same circumstances and in the same manner
as that of a Government servant in permanent 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 continuance in service by an
authority who would have been competent to declare him as permanently
incapacitated for service, had his appointment been permanent.

9. A Government servant in quasi-permanent service shall if his service

is terminated otherwise 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
1. Deleted vide F. D. Notification SRO-258 dated 15-05-1980.
SCH. IX ] 95

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 pensionary 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.

4
Government Instructions.—It shall be the duty of each Head of the
Department to conduct an 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.

TERMINAL GRATUITY
5
11. (a) A temporary Government servant who retires on superannuation
or is discharged from service or is declared invalid for further service, shall
be eligible for a gratuity at the rate of one-third of a month’s pay for
each completed year of his service, provided that he had completed not less
than five years continuous service at the time of retirement, discharge or
invalidment.

(b) In the event of death of a temporary Government servant while in

service, his family shall be eligible for a death gratuity on the scale and subject
to the conditions specified below,––
(i) If the death takes place after completion of one year’s service but
before completion of five year’s service, a gratuity equal to one month’s
pay ;

from service as a disciplinary measure or to any such temporary Government
servant, who is re-employed after retirement :
1
Provided also that a temporary Government servant with twenty or more
years of service who retires on superannuation or on his being declared
permanently incapacitated for further Government service or who may die while
in service shall for purposes of grant of all pensionary benefits be treated
as having been a holder of permanent pensionable post in a substantive
capacity immediately before his retirement or death as the case may be.
Explanation:––“Pay” for the purpose of determining the amount of terminal
or death gratuity under this rule shall include pay on the
last day of service, but shall not include special pay, personal
pay and other emoluments classed as pay.
The term pay shall include Dearness Pay (DA equal to 50% of Basic pay).
2

This shall have effect from 01-04-2004.

of the concerned Government servant from family pension, if any, due
otherwise.
3
Note 2.–The provisions of rule 11 (b) above shall apply mutatis mutandis
to quasi-permanent employees who die while in service before
completing 5 years of quasi-permanent service.

Civil Pension (Commutations) Rules as sanctioned by Finance

Department Notification No. 161-F of 1960 dated 8th June, 1960.

SECTION 1-GENERAL

1. (a) These rules may be called the Civil Pension (Commutation)

Rules.

(b) These shall come into effect from l[lst January, 1960.]

(c) In these rules the word “Government” means the Government of

Jammu and Kashmir.
2. The powers under these rules shall be exercised, in respect of
Commutation of Pensions, by the authority empowered to sanction pension
under the ordinary rules and delegation orders.
2
3. Deleted.

4. The commuted value shall ordinarily be spent on one or more of

the objects specified below viz.—
(i) construction or purchase of a house ;
(ii) liquidation of debt ;
(iii) education of children or dependents ;
(iv) marriage expenses ; and
(v) starting a business enterprise.

the ordinary pension payable from the Consolidated Fund of the State subject
to a maximum of Rs. 200 per month or Rs. 2,400 per annum provided
that the uncommuted residue of pension shall not be less than Rs. 20 p.m.

2. Deleted ibid.

(bb) A Government servant who has retired from service on or after 31-1-1982
shall ordinarily be allowed to commute 1/3rd of the pension payable to him.
2
(bbb) A Government servant who has retired from service on or after
01-01-1996 shall be entitled to commute 40% of his pension payable to him.
3
Note.—The condition that pension should not be less than Rs. 20 shall not
apply to cases where pension had already been commuted but the
same got re-fixed subsequently under the provisions of Article
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. administrative authority competent to sanction pension may
extend the benefit of commutation of 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 commutation of “anticipatory” pension. In the case of an anticipatory
pension sanctioned to the amount of pension granted as anticipatory pension
can for all practical purposes be taken as given, since an anticipatory pension
is always sanctioned at an amount less than the amount of pension, ordinarily
admissible. In case therefor, in which a portion of an anticipatory pension
is commuted, commutation value should be paid as soon as the commutation
becomes absolute and that reports on the title to the commutation of a portion
of an anticipatory pension should be referred to the Administrative Department
concerned who will obtain the concurrence of the Finance Department. When
submitting reports on the title to commutation of a portion of anticipatory
pensions to the Administrative Departments, the reasons for the expected
delay in the sanction of final pension should be explained in order to enable
them to decide whether the commutation should be sanctioned or not in any
particular case. To secure repayment of the commuted value of the part of
an anticipatory pension paid in excess, the Audit Officer reporting on the title
to commutation should arrange in all cases as they arise to obtain from the
pensioner concerned a declaration in the form as per Article 292 (a) J&K
C. S. R’s. along with his application for commutation.
4
7-A. No Government servant against whom departmental or judicial
proceedings have been instituted before the date of retirement and the
pensioner against whom such proceedings are instituted after the date of his
retirement, shall be eligible to commute any fraction of his pension during
the pendency of such proceedings.

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 commu-
tation 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 shall 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
re-employment his pension, for the purposes of the rules in Chapter XX of
the J & K C. S. R’s. shall be taken at the full 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 shall 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 correct
SCH. X ] 101

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, B and 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 the sanction to pension should be sent to the pensioner when reporting
on the claims to commutation. This relates to the position which may
exist when no pension has been sanctioned, i.e., it contemplates that no
commutation of a pension will be paid until the pension itself is sanctioned.
102 [ SCH. X

SECTION IV-A–ADMINISTRATIVE SANCTION, ITS LAPSE OR

WITHDRAWAL OF APPLICATION
19. On receipt of an application for commutation, the sanctioning
authority, shall transmit to the applicant a copy of the Accountant General’s
certificate of the lump sum payable on commutation (in the event of his being
reported by the Medical Authority to be fit for commutation) and shall at the
same time instruct him to appear before the said Medical Authority within
3 months from the date of the order, or if he has applied for commutation
in advance of the date of retirement, within 3 months from that date, but
in no case earlier than the date of retirement. This intimation shall constitute
his Administrative sanction to commutation, but shall lapse if the medical
examination does not take place within the period prescribed in the sanctioning
order. If the applicant does not appear for examination before the Medical
Authority within the prescribed period, the sanctioning authority may at his
discretion extend it for a further period of 3 months without obtaining a fresh
application for commutation. The applicant can, however, withdraw his/her
application for commutation by a written notice dispatched at any time before
the medical examination is due to take place and this option will lapse as and
when the applicant appears for examination before a Medical Authority,
provided that if the Medical Authority directs that his/her age for the purpose
of commutation shall be assumed to be greater than his/her actual age, the
applicant may withdraw his/her application by written notice dispatched within
2 weeks from the date, on which he/she, received intimation of the revised
sum payable on commutation, or if this sum is already stated in the sanctioning
order (within two weeks from the date on which he/she receive intimation of
the finding of the Medical Authority). If the applicant does not withdraw in
writing his/her application within the period of two weeks prescribed above
he/she shall be assumed to have accepted the sum offered.
1
Note 1.–The commutation of pension shall become absolute—
(a) In the case of an applicant who is in receipt of superannuation/
retiring/compensation pension or a pension on absorption in a
corporate body etc. and desires to commute a fraction of that pension
any time after the date following the date of retirement but before
the expiry of one year from the date of retirement on the date on
which the application on prescribed form is received by the Head of
Office ;
(b) In the case of a Government servant who is due to retire on
superannuation and desires payment of the commuted value of
pension being authorised at the time of issue of PPO provided
application for the same is made by him not later than three months
before the date of superannuation on the date following the date of
retirement ;
(c) In the case of an applicant who is eligible to commute portion of
his pension after medical examination on the date on which the
Medical Authority signs the medical report.

(i) In the case of an applicant who is drawing his pension from treasury,
the reduction in the amount of pension on account of commutation
shall be operative from the date of receipt of the commuted value of
pension or at the end of three months after issue of authority by the
Accountant General for the payment of commuted value of pension
whichever is earlier ; and
(ii) In the case of an applicant who is drawing pension from a branch
of J&K Bank, the reduction in the amount of pension on account of
commutation shall be operative from the date on which the commuted
value of pension is credited by the Bank to the applicant’s account
to which pension is being credited ;
(iii) In the case of an applicant [referred to in (b) above] in whose case
the commuted value of pension becomes payable on the day following
the date of his retirement, the reduction in the amount of pension on
account of commutation shall be operative from its inception. Where,
however, payment of commuted value of pension could not be made
within the first month after the date of retirement, the difference of
monthly pension for the period between the day following the date
of retirement and the date preceding the date on which the commuted
value of pension is deemed to have been paid shall be authorised
by the Accountant General.
1
Note 2.—The provisions of Note 1 above will apply mutatis mutandis
in respect of retirements on voluntary basis under Article 230, or
premature retirement under Article 226(2) or retirement on
compensation pension in terms of Article 207. Persons retiring on
invalid pension cannot claim the application of the provisions of
Note 1 above in their case.
2
Note 3.— A Government servant who is granted extension in service after
he attains the age of 55 years will also be eligible if he applies
within one year of expiry of the extension to commute a portion
of his pension without medical examination subject to the
condition laid down in the Rules ibid.

3
The Administrative Department may, however, in cases where they are
satisfied that an apprentice could not pass the examination in six chances for
reasons beyond his control allow a seventh chance to appear in the
examination. 5Where however, the Administrative Department is satisfied that
the rules operate harshly, or unfairly in any case or a concession is merited
in consideration of the extraordinary circumstances of a case, it may allow
8th chance to a candidate for reasons to be recorded.
(2) Those who have successfully completed a lower course and happen to
be selected as apprentices for training in a higher course at any time shall be

that the period of seven years for which they are required to serve the
Government shall commence to run after successful completion of training in the
higher course.

will be included in select list of Subordinate Accounts Service to be maintained
by the Administrative Department and as and when there are vacancies in the

qualified according to their order of seniority in the select list. The seniority in

examination and the date of his passing it.
(iii) Direct recruit apprentices after the date of their discharge from the
school to the date of appointment in the service subsequent to the passing
examination will be free to serve anywhere they like. 2[Such of the apprentices
who join service shall be bound to serve the Government for the minimum
period prescribed in the agreement bond]. In respect of in service apprentices
who are appointed to the service after successful completion of their
examination, it shall be incumbent for their respective departments to relieve
them immediately for joining the service, failing which the concerned
departments will have to pay to the Accountancy Training School, the training
cost of the person which will include the amount of stipend paid to him by the
school during training plus a penalty of Rs. 500/- at the discretion of the
Administrative Department. Agreement to this effect shall be obtained by the

servants concerned. The disbursement of pay and allowances to the persons

reservists may be filled on a purely temporary basis subject to the

of the emergency. Temporary posts which were held by reservists even
if they are made permanent should not be filled on permanent basis
by persons holding them temporary in their place.
(e) The following concessions will be allowed to reservists (who are
officers) only :––
Travelling allowance will be admissible as under from the Defence
Service Estimates—

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.

1. Inserted vide F. D. Notification SRO-384 dated 15-09-1966.
SCH. XIII ] 197

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 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.

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.

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
condones 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.

(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 in as much 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 … 162/3%
2. Members of the All-India and Class I Central … 15%
Services subject to ordinary Leave Rules
3. Members of Class II and Subordinate … 12½%
Central Services.
