Sub: Implementation of Government's decision on the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission regarding revision of pension of pensioners/family pensioners etc. - Grant of full pension to Government servants who retired on or after 1.1.2006
The undersigned is directed to say that in pursuance of Government's decision on the recommendations of Sixth Central Pay Commission, orders were issued vide this Department's O.M. No. 38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 2.9.2008 for introducing modifications in the rules regulating pension, Retirement/Death/Service Gratuity/Family Pension/ disability pension and ex-gratia lump-sum compensation. In accordance with para 5.2 and para 5.3 of that OM, once a Government servant becomes entitled to pension on completion of 20 years/10 years of qualifying service, he shall be paid pension at 50% of the emoluments or average emoluments received during the last 10 months, whichever is more beneficial to him. In terms of para 5.4 of the OM, these revised provisions have come into force w.e.f. 2.9.2008 and shall be applicable to Government servants retiring on or after that date. Subsequently, it was clarified vide O.M. No. 38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 11.12.2008 that pension of Government servant retiring on or after 1.1.2006 will also be calculated based on the emoluments or average emoluments received during the last 10 months, whichever is more beneficial to him but his pension would continue to be proportionate to the pension on completion of 33 years of qualifying service. Para 5.4 of this Department's O.M. No. 38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 2.9.2008 was modified to that extent.
2. This matter has been reconsidered by the Government. In partial modification of the instructions/order issued in this respect, it has now been decided that linkage of full pension with 33 years of qualifying service shall be dispensed with, with effect from 1.1.2006 instead of 2.9.2008. The revised provisions for calculation of pension in para 5.2 and 5.3 of the OM No.38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 2.9.2008 shall come into force with effect from 1.1.2006 and shall be applicable to the Government servants retired/retiring after that date.
