เคตเคฟเคทเคฏ: Revision of pension after authorisation under Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules 2021 โ€“ reg.

The undersigned is directed to refer to this Departmentโ€™s OM No. 38/10(04)/2024-P&PW(A) dated 18.10.2024 and to reiterate that as per Sub Rule 2 of Rule 66 of CCS(Pension) Rules 2021, subject to provisions of Rule 7 and 8 of CCS(Pension) Rules 2021, pension or family pension once authorised after final assessment or revised under Sub Rule 1 of Rule 66 of CCS(Pension) Rules 2021 shall not be revised to the disadvantage of the pensioner or family pensioner unless such revision becomes necessary on account of detection of a clerical error subsequently. In case the clerical error is detected after a period of two years from the date of authorisation or revision of pension or family pension, no revision of pension to the disadvantage of the pensioner or family pensioner shall be ordered without the concurrence of Department of Pension and Pensionersโ€™ Welfare.

2. Further, the question whether the revision has become necessary on account of a clerical error or not shall be decided by the administrative Ministry or Department. If, consequent on revision of pension or family pension under sub-rule 2, an excess payment of pension or family pension is found to have been made to the pensioner or family pensioner and if such excess payment is not on account of any misrepresentation of facts by the pensioner or family pensioner, the administrative Ministry or Department shall examine in consultation with the Department of Expenditure whether or not recovery of such excess payment can be waived off and issue appropriate orders in accordance with the relevant rules and instructions in this regard. Where the administrative Ministry or Department decides not to waive off the excess payment of pension or family pension, the retired Government servant concerned or family pensioner shall be served with a notice by the Head of Office requiring him to refund the excess payment of pension within a period of two months from the date of receipt of notice by him. In case the Government servant fails to comply with the notice, the Head of Office shall, by order in writing, direct that such excess payment shall be adjusted in instalments by short payments of pension in future, in one or more instalments, as the Head of Office may direct.

3. All Ministries/Departments are requested that the above provisions of Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 2021 may be brought to the notice of all concerned for compliance.

Sub: โ€“ Ensuring efficiency in bill payments and timely processing of pension cases -reg.

The undersigned is directed to say that the efficiency and timely disposal of bills and pension cases is one of the core responsibilities of all the Ministries/Departments/Offices under CGA Organisation. Any delay in such matters not only affects the efficiency and accountability of this organisation but also hampers the service delivery which undermines the credibility of the financial management system.

2. All Pr. CCA/CCAs/CAs(Independent) are, therefore, requested to keep a close watch on the functioning of PAOs under their control and issue necessary instructions/advisories from time to time to ensure strict compliance with the extant rules/instructions while passing bills and processing pension cases. Further, emphasis should be on the following points:

  • All bills, particularly pension cases and related payments, must be disposed of within the prescribed timelines.
  • Piecemeal objections should not be raised. Any objection, if unavoidable, must be specific, justified and strictly based on relevant rules and regulations.
  • PAQOs must act as facilitators by guiding and advising departmental offices for smooth processing of claims.
  • A standardized checklist should be circulated by each Pr.CCA/CCA/CA(Independent) to Departmental Authorities to prevent unnecessary or avoidable return of bills/pension cases.
  • Delays which cannot be justified under rules are to be strictly avoided and accountability may be ensured in cases of lapse.
  • Pensionary benefits must be recorded in service book at each stage (Issue, Payment, Recovery).
  • Pensionary benefits should be released only to the concerned Pensioner/Family Pensioner.

3.The above guidelines will help to strengthen the efficiency and accountability of all the Ministries/Departments/Offices under CGA Organisation. This may please be ensured by all the Pr.CCA/CCA/CA (Independent) that these standing instructions must be compiled by all the concerned.
