*****

   The Government has issued certain clarifications in the Government Letters second to fourth cited regarding the revision of pension and re-employment pay in respect of re-employed pensioners.

   2. The Senior Deputy Accountant General in his letter fifth cited has stated that it has been brought to the notice of the Office of the Principal Accountant General that the teacher pensioners who retired prior to 1.6.2009 and were on re-employment on 1.1.2007 and thereafter were not paid either revised re-employment pay nor did they receive revised pension during the re-employment period in view of the clarification issued by the Government vide Government letter fourth cited. He has, therefore, prescribed certain guidelines regarding the drawal and disbursement of arrears for revision of pension and revision of re-employment pay.

   3. After considering the recommendations of the Senior Deputy Accountant General, I am directed to issue the following guidelines regarding the revision of pension / re-employment pay and disbursement of arrears consequent on such revision.

   i) All departmental officers are directed to calculate the revised reemployment pay admissible in all cases as per the clarifications issued in Government letter fourth cited and report excess paid re-employment pay, if any, to the Treasury Officer concerned for adjusting the same from arrears of revised pension payable during re-employment period.

   ii) If no over payment has occurred, a certificate to that effect has to be furnished by the departmental officers to enable the pensioners to claim arrears of revised pension during the re-employment period.

   iii) Pension Pay Officer / all Treasury Officers / Sub Treasury Officers and Pension disbursing officers under the Public Sector Bank scheme should ensure that no overpayment of re-employment pay has been made before making payment of arrears of revised pension during the re-employment period.

   iv) The excess paid re-employment pay reported by the departmental officers, if any, should be adjusted from the arrears of revised pension payable during the re-employment period and balance, if any, from the last instalment of arrears of revised Death cum Retirement Gratuity / Commuted Value of Pension payable.

Yours faithfully,

-sd-

for Principal Secretary to Government
