No.11/35/2019

Dated: 24/09/2019

The Cabinet Secretary,

Rashtrapati Bhawan,

New Delhi — 110 004

Dear Sir,

Sub: Proposed change in the policy of retirement on superannuation of 
Central Government employees on completion of 33 years service or 60 years 
of age whichever is earlier-reg.

Through several sources, the information is being circulated that the Government 
 has been considering revision of the extant policy on retirement and bringing 
new rules with stipulation that those Central Government employees who have 
put in 33 years service or attained the age of 60 years, whichever is earlier,
 shall retire on superannuation.According to the sources it is learnt that the 
DoP&T has sent proposal to MoF for consideration for the purpose of bringing
 new rule from 01/04/2020.

Since the proposal of the DoP&T is likely to affect existing Central Government
 employees, therefore, consultations are required to be ensured with the JCM/Staff
 Side as the service condition of the existing staff may get affected. NFIR, therefore,
 requests the Cabinet Secretary to kindly see that consultations are made with the  
JCM/Staff Sideon the said proposal early. According to the JCM Rules, consultations 
are must on all such vital matters, therefore arbitrary decision should not be taken
 in the interest to maintain healthy industrial relations.

NFIR hopes that the Cabinet Secretary would kindly consider the above points and 
issue directions to the authorities concerned to hold meeting with the JCM/Staff
 Side early.

Yours faithfully,

(Dr. M. Raghavaiah)

General Secretary/NFIR &

Leader, JCM/Staff Side

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.

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.
