Government amends Rule 54 of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972

23 SEP 2019 6:46PM

On death of a Government servant while in service, the family is entitled to a family pension in accordance with Rule 54 of the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972. The family pension was payable at enhanced rate of 50% of the pay last drawn for a period of 10 years, if the Government servant had rendered a continuous service of not less than seven years; thereafter the rate of family pension was 30% of the pay last drawn. In case the Government servant had rendered a service of less than seven years before his death, the rate of family pension was 30% from the beginning and family pension at enhanced rate of 50% of last pay drawn was not payable to the family.

Also read: Steps to complete the pension case as prescribed in in CCS Pension Rules, 1972

The Government felt that the need for family pension at enhanced rate is more in the case of a Government servant who dies early in his career, as his pay at the initial phase of service is much less. The Government has, therefore, amended Rule 54 of the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972 by a notification dated 19th September, 2019. As per the amended Rule 54, the family of a Government servant, who dies within seven years of joining service, will also be eligible for family pension at enhanced rate of 50% of last pay drawn, for a period of 10 years.

The above amendment would be effective from 1st October, 2019. However, the families of Government servants who died before completion of service of seven years within 10 years before 1st October, 2019, will also be eligible for family pension at enhanced rates with effect from 1st October, 2019.

The benefit of amended provisions would be available to the families of all Government servants, including the personnel of CAPFs, in the unfortunate event of their death within seven years of joining Government service.

In order to claim reimbursement of Children Education Facilitation Allowance, the GDS should produce a certificate issued by the Head of the Institution for the period/year for which claim has been preferred. The Certificate should confirm that the child studied in the school during the previous academic year. In case such certificate can not be obtained, self-attested copy of the report card or self attested fee receipt(s) {including e-receipt(s)} confirming/indicating that the fee deposited for the entire academic year can be produced as a supporting document to claim Children Education Facilitation Allowance.

(v) The reimbursement of Children Education Facilitation Allowance will be done just once in a financial year after completion of the financial year.

(vi) The reimbursement of Children Education Facilitation Allowance shall have no nexus with the performance of the child in his/her class. In other words, even if a child fails in a particular class, the reimbursement of Children Education Facilitation Allowance shall not be stopped. However, if the child is admitted in the same class in another school, although the child has passed out of the same class in previous school or mid- session, Children Education Facilitation Allowance shall not be reimbursable.

(xiii) In respect of schools/institutions at nursery, primary and middle level not affiliated to any Board of education, the reimbursement under the Scheme may be allowed for the children studying in a recognized school/institution.

Aid or not, recognized by the Central or State Government or Union Territory Administration or by University or a recognized educational authority having jurisdiction over the area where the institution/school is situated.

(xiv) In case of a Divyaang child studying in an institution i.e. aided or approved by the Central/State Govt. or UT Administration or whose fees are approved by any of these authorities, the Children Education Facilitation Allowance paid by the GDS shall be reimbursed irrespective of whether the institution is ‘recognized’ or not.

Dear Sir.

Sub: Grant of increment on notional basis on 1st January & 1st of July to those employees retiring on 30th June / 31st of December - Apex Court order - reg.

Ref: NFIR's letter No. I/II Part I dated 11/12/2018 addressed to Secretary (Pers), MoF (DoE).

Check this : Revision of Pension of Pre 2006 Pensioners

Kind attention is invited to Federation's letter No. I/II/Part I dated 11/12/2018 sent to the Secretary, Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure relating to grant of increment on notional basis on 1st January & 1st of July to those employees retiring on 30th June/31st of December and urging to implement Apex Court order. Federation feels sad to mention that though a period of about nine months has passed, action has not been taken to implement Honorable Supreme Court order. A copy of our letter dated 11/12/2018, mentioned ibid is enclosed for ready reference.

Federation requests the Cabinet Secretary to kindly intervene and see that benefit of increment on notional basis on 1st January & 1ss July is granted to those employees retiring / retired on 30th June / 31st December of the year and accordingly O.M. issued soon.

With regards,

Yours faithfully,

Check this Pre-2006 pensioners who retired from the 5th CPC scale

Pursuant to the implementation of the recommendations of 6th CPC the Staff Side of National Council (JCM) had raised the demand, urging that the Central Government Employees including Railway employees who complete one year service as on 30th June and 31st December every year should be granted one increment notionally on 1st January or 1st July for calculating settlement benefit of those employees who retire on 30th June or 31st December each year. The Government however did not agree to the demand on the plea that allowing increment is not covered under the rules.

In the above context, NFIR desires to bring to the notice of MoF that the High Court at Madras was approached by some employees through With Petition No. 15732/2017 praying relief in the matter. On 15/09/2017,the High Court at Madras decided on the Writ Petition and passed order as follows:-

"Para-7 The Petitioner herein had completed one full year service as on 30/06/2013, that the increment fell due on 01/07/2013, on which date he was not in service. In view of the above Judgment of this Court, naturally he has to be treated as having completed one full year-of service, though the date of increment falls on the next day of his retirement. Applying the said one notional increment for the period from 01/07/2012 to 30/06/2013, as he has completed one full year of service, though his increment fell on 01/07/2013, for the purpose of pensionary benefits and not for any other purpose"

Against the above order of the High Court an SLP was filed by the Government of India before the Hon'ble Supreme Court, which was however dismissed by the Apex Court.

The legal position as established above clearly indicates that the employee who has completed one full year service as on 30th June or 31st December, as the case may be, should be granted one notional increment despite the fact that the increment falls on 1st July or 1st January of the year. The Federation cites following illustration to prove our contention:-

"An employee who has completed one full year of service as on 30th June (date of birth being 30th June or 1st July) and 31st of December (date of birth being 31st December or 1st January) is eligible to get one notional /increment for the period from 01/07/2018. Similarly an employee is eligible to get one notional increment for the period from '01/01/2018 to 31/12/2018 even though the increment falls on 01/01/2019 whose date of retirement is 31/12/2018".

NFIR, therefore, requests the Secretary, MoF to kindly consider the above points and see that instructions are issued to all Ministries/Departments to grant increment on notation basis to the staff in the situations mentioned above to calculate the terminal/retirement benefits and also revise these benefits in favour of those who have already retired. A copy of instructions issued may kindly be enclosed to the Federation.
