  • There is a field available for change in the date of start of ‘Reduced Pension Date’ prior to allotment of PPO number in Pension Module at PAO Login. PAO may change ‘the start of Reduced Pension Date if superannuation pension is a case processed after date of superannuation has already passed and pensioner has opted for commutation. Further, as DSC has been reverted on the request for change in start of reduced pension date, the PAO may change the date of start of reduced pension date prior to allotment of PPO number and thereafter, generate ePPO for verification at all three levels prior to DSC again.
  • Reference is also. invited to Point number 7 of aforesaid OM wherein it was directed to “verify all the contents of ePPO after taking print at any level with manual case before digitally signing by PAO” and.as per Point number 8 of above OM, it was also desired that “If there is any problem due to technical issues, the same may be forwarded to pension helpdesk for rectification prior to DSC”.

Determination of Pay/Emolument for calculation of family pension and death gratuity where a Government servant dies during currency of a penalty

No. 1/15/2020-P& PW (E)
Government of India
Ministry of Personnel Pension & Public Grievance
Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare
(Desk-E)

3rd Floor, Lok Nayak Bhawan
Khan Market, New Delhi-110003
Dated December 9, 2021

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject:- Determination of Pay/Emolument for calculation of family pension and death gratuity where a Government servant dies during currency of a penalty – regarding

The undersigned is directed to say that in accordance with Rule 54(14)(c) of CCS Pension Rules, 1972, the pay for the purpose of family pension means the emoluments as specified in Rule 33 of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 or the average emoluments as referred to in Rule 34 of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972, if the emoluments of the deceased Government servant have been reduced during the last ten months of his service otherwise than as penalty. Similar provision exists in Rule 50(5) for calculation of retirement/death gratuity.

2. As per Rule 33, the expression ‘emoluments’ means basic pay as defined in Rule 9(21)(a)(1) of the Fundamental Rules which a Government servant was receiving immediately before his retirement or on the date of his death. As per Rule 34, average emoluments are determined with reference to the emoluments drawn by a Government servant during the last ten months of his service.

3. References have been received in this Department seeking advice as to how family pension and death gratuity in respect of a Government servant are to be calculated if a Government servant dies during the currency of a penalty, which reduces the pay of the Government servant for a specified period only, as in such cases the impact of the penalty is limited to the period specified in the order of penalty and the Government servant regains his pay and increments after the period of penalty is over. Clarifications have been sought whether, in such cases, family pension and gratuity would be calculated based on the reduced pay, which the Government servant was actually drawing on the date of death or on the pay which the he would have drawn if such a penalty had not been imposed on him.

4. The matter has been examined in consultation with Department of Expenditure. The manner in which the pay of a Government servant is to be regulated on imposition of penalties of reduction to a lower stage, withholding of increment and reduction to a lower time scale, has been explained in Department of Personnel & Training’s OM No. 11012/15/2016-Estt A-III dated 18th June, 2019. These instructions also bring out the penalties on imposition of which there is no impact on the pay after the expiry of the period of penalty and also the manner in which notional pay of a Government servant is to be fixed during the currency of such penalties.

5. It is observed that determination of family pension and death gratuity based on actual pay drawn in case of death during the currency of a penalty referred to in para 3 above would result in reduced amount of death gratuity and also reduced family pension to the widow/family. This may not be the intention of the disciplinary authority while imposing that penalty. Therefore, in cases where the intention of the disciplinary authority was to restrict the impact of the penalty on the Government servant for a specified period only, determination of family pension and death gratuity on the basis of the reduced pay during the currency of such penalty would result in an unintended hardship to the family of the Government servant, who dies during the currency of such penalty.

6. It has, accordingly, been decided that in cases where a Government servant dies during the currency of a penalty on expiry of which he would have regained the same pay which he would have drawn if the penalty had not been imposed on him, the family pension and death gratuity in respect of such Government servant shall be determined based on the notional pay which he would have been entitled to on the date of death and such notional pay may be treated as emoluments for this purpose.

7. These instructions shall be applicable with immediate effect and the past cases shall not be re-opened. However, the cases where the death of a Government servant has occurred before the issue of these instructions but family pension and death gratuity has not been determined so far may also be decided in accordance with these instructions.

8. Necessary amendment in the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 shall be made separately.

9. This OM is issued with the concurrence of Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure vide their ID No. 1(13)//EV/2021 dated 12.08.2021.

10. In its application to persons belonging to Indian Audit and Accounts Department, these orders are issued under Article 148(5) of the Constitution and after consultation with the Comptroller and Auditor General of India vide their यू.ओ.संख्‍या-216-स्‍टाफ हक.(नियम)/ए.आर./09-2019 दिनांक 23.09.2021.

11. The Administrative Divisions of all Ministries/Departments and attached/subordinate offices are requested to bring the contents of these instructions to the notice of all concerned for compliance.

Bank Strike Latest News: 2 Days continuous strike on 16th & 17th Dec 2021

UFBU Bank Strike Notice

CIRCULAR No. UFBU/2021/17

Date :01.12.2021

TO ALL CONSTITUENT UNIONS/MEMBERS

Dear Comrades,

Oppose moves of privatisation of Banks
Oppose Banking Laws(Amendment) Bill, 2015
Rise in protest – Resist the move
Observe 2 days continuous strike on 16th & 17th Dec 2021

All our unions and members are aware that in a developing country like India, where Banks deal with huge public savings and Banks have to play a leading role to ensure broad-based economic development, public sector banking with social orientation is the most appropriate and imperative need. Hence, for the past 25 years, from the banner of UFBU we have been opposing the policies of banking reforms which are aimed at weakening public sector banks.

All of us would recall that in 2000 when the then Government brought a Bill in the Parliament proposing to reduce Government’s equity in PSBs to 33% and thus to pave way for privatisation of Banks, UFBU vehemently opposed the same by our massive strike on 15-9-2000. Thereafter, the Government fell due to lack of majority in Parliament and thus that Bill got lapsed.

Even thereafter there were repeated attempts by subsequent Governments to privatise the Banks and UFBU has been consistently opposing the same through our struggles and agitational programmes. In February this year, when the Government announced in the Budget that two PSBs would be privatised in addition to IDBI Bank, UFBU immediately met and gave the call for strike on 15th and 16th March, 2021 which was a massive success due to the enlarged participation of bank employees and officers.

We further decided that if the Government would initiate any further measures on this agenda, UFBU would again resort to struggle programmes. Since we learn that the Government has listed Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2021 for introduction and passage during the current session of the Parliament, UFBU held its meeting on 29th and 30th November, 2021 and decided to unleash agitational programme. After deliberations, the following programmes have been chalked out

3rd Dec. 2021Petition to all Members of Parliament by UFBU
Upto 4th Dec. 2021 Dharna in all State Capitals
4th Dec. 2021Massive Demonstration in all State Capitals
On the day of introduction of Bill Demonstration/Morcha before Parliament 
7th Dec. 2021 Demonstrations in all District & Town centres
8th Dec. 2021 Demonstrations in all State Capitals
9th Dec. 2021 Black Badge Wearing
10th Dec. 2021Twitter campaign
13th Dec. 2021 Wearing of protest Masks & Demonstration in all State Capitals
14th Dec. 2021 Submission of online petition to Prime Minister
15th Dec. 2021 Press Meets in State Capitals & Demonstration in all Branches & Rallies
16th & 17th Dec. 2021Two days continuous stay out strike
Further strike actionsTo be decided looking to developments

Strike Notice has been served by UFBU on the IBA and hence individual unions need not serve any separate strike notice.

Looking to developments in the Parliament session, UFBU will meet at short notice and decide further programmes.

We shall contact all the Central Trade Unions, all political parties and Members of Parliament to extend their support to our agitation and also accordingly take up the issue with the Government.

Comrades, all of us can understand the situation which is being created by the move of the Government to privatise the Bank knowing fully well that it is a retrograde measure. Hence, we need to fight unitedly and with full determination.
We appeal to all our unions and members to close their ranks and move together in effectively implementing all the programmes.

Our struggle is to defend public sector banking; our struggle is to demand propeople banking policies; our struggle is to ensure broad-based economic development of our country; our struggle is to ensure vibrant banking to enable vibrant economy; our struggle is to protest the interest of the entire workforce of the Banks; In short, our struggle is a patriotic struggle.

The struggle is going to prolonged and all our members should be mobilised and prepared accordingly.

Onward to struggle, Onward to Strike

With warm greetings,

Yours comradely

(SANJEEV K.BANDLISH)
