2.
In this context, DP&PW has clarified the position vide
their ID No.38/6/16-P&PW-(A) dated-13.05.2016 that in
accordance with CCS Pension Rules, pension is admissible if the retiring/
absorbed employee has completed a qualifying service of 10 years at
the time of retirement/ absorption. Therefore, all those pensioners who
were drawing monthly pension after completion of 10 years qualifying service
before 01.01.2006 are eligible for benefit in term of OM
dated-01.09.2008 and 06.04.2016.
3.
These orders are however, not applicable to those absorbee pensioners who
had got 100% lump-sum in lieu of their monthly pension on
absorption in PSUs etc. during 1973-1995 and are eligible for
restoration of only 113rd of their
pension in respect of such absorbee pensioners.
However, the absorbee pensioners, who are receiving full monthly
pension would continue to be covered by the OM dated-01.09.2008 and
06.04.2016 referred to above.
4.
Further, all Pr. CCAs/CCAs/ CAs/AGs and Administrators of UTs were
advised to verify the list of PPO numbers for revision provided by CPAO in
their PAOs login, from their records as to whether these PPO numbers are
covered by DP&PW OM dated-06.04.2016. The other cases which were not
available in the list provided by CPAO but covered under the OM
dated-06.04.2016 were also to be revised. It is to ensure that
cases of compulsory retirement pension and compassionate allowance under
Rule-40 & 41 of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 are not to be revised
as they are not covered by the OM dated-06.04.2016.
