In the Government Order first cited, orders were issued revising the pension/family pension and other retirement benefits notionally with effect from 1-1-2016 and monetary benefit from 1-10-2017. In the said Government Order, it was also ordered that the arrears on retirement benefits i.e. Gratuity/Commutation of pension including encashment of leave surrendered at the time of retirement consequent on pay revision in respect of the employees who retired between 1-1-2016 and 30-9-2017 shall be paid in two instalments i.e. first instalment in the current financial year 2017-2018 and second instalment in the next financial year 2018-2019.
2. The Principal Secretary and Commissioner of Treasuries and Accounts in the reference second cited has requested that whether PAOs/Treasuries may be allowed to make the payment towards second instalment of arrears to the pensioners based on the Government Orders.
3. I am therefore to inform that the second instalment of the arrears due for payment in the year 2018-2019 as ordered in the Government Order cited may be drawn and paid to the pensioners / family pensioners from April 2018. In case of pensioners / family pensioners who have not claimed and paid the first instalment of the arrears due for payment during the year 2017-2018, the entire arrears may be drawn and paid in one lumpsum.
Yours faithfully,
