Subject : Emoluments reckoned for calculating retirement / death benefits of staff working in the Construction Organisations – PNM/NFIR Item No.3/2008 and PNM/AIRF Item No.7/2009.

The Staff side, in the PNM forum has requested for withdrawal of the instructions contained in this office letter of even number dated 19.8.2010 regarding reckoning of emoluments for calculating retirement/death benefits of staff working in the Construction Organisations.

2. The matter has been reconsidered in detail by the Board and it has now been held that the instructions contained in para 1 of this office letter No.E(NG)1 70 SR 6/43 dated 13.3.1972, which provide that the benefit of one grade higher shall not be taken into consideration for any purpose including eligibility for selection to Class II posts, is limited in its scope for selection to Class II posts, seniority benefits etc, and does not have applicability to reckoning of emoluments for calculating retirement/death benefits of staff working in the Construction Organisations. As such, it has been decided by the Board that the basic pay drawn by an employee on adhoc promotion in the Construction Organisations shall be reckoned as pay in terms of clause (i) of Rule 1303 [(F.R.9)(21)(a)(i)] of Indian Railways Establishment Code Vol.-11/1987 Edition for the purpose of reckoning of emoluments in terms of Rule 49 of the Railway Services (Pension) Rules, 1993. Consequently, the instructions contained in this office letter of even number dated 19.8.2010 may be treated as withdrawn. Cases decided prior to 19.8.2010 need not be reopened.

3. Please acknowledge receipt.

Project ‘SANGAM’ for Defence Pensioners

By
igeadmin
-

Controller General of Defenc Accounts (CGDA) Shri Nand Kishore recently launched a software project ‘SANGAM’ for defence pensioners in a function at its headquarters at Delhi Cantonment. Speaking on this occasion, Controller General of Defence Accounts mentioned that the project ‘SANGAM’ will provide useful Management Information System (MIS) to the financial planners in the Ministry of Defence.

Project ‘SANGAM’ is a software which will facilitate issuance of corrigendum pension payment orders. This will address the demand from the ex-servicemen for issue of individual corrigendum pension payment order consequent to implementation of recommendations of Sixth Central Pay Commission (6th CPC).

This software project is one step forward from the project ‘SUVIGYA’ which was launched in October last year on the occasion of Defence Account Department Day and is very popular among defence pensioners.

The pension payment orders to be issued using ‘SANGAM’ software will be a special corrigendum pension payment system which will contain all the basic details of original pension payment order. It will also have details of family pension, disability pension and any other type of pension available to a pensioner. The new corrigendum pension payment order is unique in the sense that it gives new ID to each pensioner which will be helpful in readily accessing all data relating to a pensioner.

There are about 18 lakh defence pensioners who will be benefitted with the launch of project ‘SANGAM’ in the long run. It will also help in grievance redressal of pensioners with regard to the correctness of payment of pension.

The software has been developed in house by a team of officers from IT wing of Controller General of Defence Accounts, headed by Shri Murli Krishnan, Sr ACGDA (IT).

Gratuity Amount Calculation

By
igeadmin
-

Employees, as defined here, are the ones hired on company payrolls. Trainees are not eligible and gratuity is paid on the basis of the employee’s basic plus dearness allowance if any.

How much can you get?

You become entitled to a gratuity on resignation or on retirement after five years or more of service. As per the Act, the gratuity amount is 15 days’ wages multiplied by the number of years put in by you. Here wage means your basic plus dearness allowance. Take the monthly salary drawn by you last (basic plus dearness allowance) on resignation or retirement and divide it by 26, assuming there are four Sundays in a month. This is your daily salary. Multiply this amount by 15 days and further with the number of years you have put into service.

For instance, if your average monthly salary is Rs 50,000, the gratuity payable to you after 10 years of service would be Rs 290,000. However your employer factors in another term: ‘uninterrupted service’. The term covers the service period of the employee including leaves or breaks, except periods notified as breaks in service by the employer.

For employees who do not fall under the Gratuity Act, the amount due for them is half of the average ten months’ salary multiplied by the number of years of service.

How to calculate Gratuity ?

Gratuity = (Last drawn salary + Dearness Allowance / 26) x 15 x Number of years of service
