Grant of sanction for prosecution – DOPT Guidelines

No. 372/6/2017-AVD-III
Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions
Department of Personnel and Training

North Block, New Delhi
Dated 02 December, 2020.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject : Adherence to Guidelines issued by DoPT regarding grant of sanction for prosecution – regarding.

The Department of Personnel & Training had formulated guidelines for grant of sanction for prosecution and issued the same vide this Department’s various OMs inter-alia, dated 06.11.2006, 20.12.2006, 31.01.2012 and 01.03.2019 (to be read with OM dated 18.07.2019).

2. These guidelines clearly prescribe the situations under which consultation with CVC is required by the concerned DAs while considering the requests of CBI for grant of Sanction of Prosecution, which inter-alia, include that:

(i) The CBI would forward its final report of investigation to the CVC and also simultaneously endorse a copy of the report to the Administrative Ministry/Department concerned and the Competent Authority shall within three weeks formulate its tentative view regarding the action to be taken and seek the advice of CVC in the matter.

(ii) In cases in which the sanction for prosecution is required to be accorded in the name of the President, the CVC will advise the Ministry /Department concerned and it would be for that Ministry/ Department to consider the advice of the CVC and to take a decision as to whether or not the prosecution should be sanctioned;

Also Read : Sanction of Prosecution of Government Officials

(iii) In cases in which an authority other than the President is competent to sanction prosecution, and that authority does not propose to accord such sanction, it is required to report the case to the CVC and take further action after considering the CVC’s advice.

3. Recently, CVC has observed that some Ministries/Department, specifically CPSUs and Public Sector Banks, are not following the said guidelines/instructions in true spirit. Further, in certain cases the Competent Authority formally declined the sanction for prosecution and then referred the matter to the CVC for advice.

4. As once the Competent Authority takes a decision and communicates it to the CBI, the matter of grant of sanction for prosecution cannot be reviewed, it is important that the requisite consultation with CVC, etc. is completed before the Competent Authority takes a decision in such matters.

5. In view of the above, all Ministries/Departments are advised to ensure strict adherence to the afore-said instructions of DoP&T in this regard.

6. This issues with the approval of the Competent Authority.

In terms of clarifications issued vide Railway Board’s above referred letter, in order to revise the Pre-2016 as well as Post-2016 pension cases as per the recommendations of 7 CPC in ARPAN Module by reckoning the element of Charge Allowance as Pay which the following procedure may be adopted respectively:

i. Revision of Pre-2016 cases:

The cases that have been revised excluding element of Charge Allowance actually drawn by the ex-employee may be re-opened and re-processed by taking into account the last pay as Basic Pay plus Charge Allowance by applying same Concordance Table as originally selected at the time of revision under 7th CPC. Considering the methodology adopted in construction of Notional Pay Ready Reckoner Table, the modified last pay (basic pay + charge allowance) if does not fit the prescribed pay slab/pay range in the concordance table, the basic pay provided in very next range/slab, may be reckoned as basic pay for determining the Notional pay for revision of pension/family pension w. e. f 1-01-2016 as per 7th CPC.

ii. Revision of Post-2016 cases:

In terms of para-3(iii) of Bd’s letter dt.30-01-2020, in the case of post-2016 cases settled in ARPAN, since both PPO as well as Settlement dues need to be revised, the affected cases may be initiated and re-processed in ‘ARPAN-Revision Module’ by selecting ‘Change in Pay’ option and basic pay may be modified by adding component of Charge Allowance actually drawn by the railway servant at the time of retirement as per the payroll detail. The entire cycle of settlement process at all levels of USERS may be completed for successful generation of Bills (difference settlement bills) as well as revised PPOs. Due care may be taken to ensure correctness of settlement bills actually payable to the retired employee. The cases where PPOs were generated in ARPAN but payment of Settlement dues was made outside ARPAN, the same methodology may be adopted to avoid undue overpayment of revised settlement dues. Further, since the ARPAN generated Bills data needs to be pushed to IPAS platform though SFTP, the 8 digit PF number may be modified in Bill txt file data at par with IPAS party master (IPAS-PF Number) for seamless transition of bills.

In case of any difficulty, ARPAN Team may be contacted for technical assistance.
