It has been experienced that pension/gratuity claims of persons promoted as offrs during last one year of their service are being delayed due to the following reasons:(a) Service book not centralized with CRO (O) within six months of retirement date thus leaving no adequate time for pay fixation and pension processing. (b) Pension case not initiated as subordinate as per laid down time schedule in anticipation of promotion and higher pay fixation. 2. To overcome this trend and to avoid delay, the following procedure will henceforth be strictly adhered to: (a) Service book of such newly promoted officers as referred above will be sent for centralization not less than nine months before date of retirement. (b) Pension papers will be initiated as per time schedule in the existing pay scale (subordinate) without waiting for promotion/pay fixation as officer. Subsequent revision of pension etc can be carried out. In case any potion of promotion , an undertaking for delaying PPO as per proforma attached as Appendix be obtained and submitted. (c) In case the service book cannot be centralized for any reason before nine months of retirement, pension case should be initiated as subordinate by Command Chief Engineer. The service book should be sent for centralization and pay fixation and subsequent revision of pension as officer by the concerned formation/Command Chief Engineer only on return of service book from paying CDA after scrutinizing of pension case. In no case initiation of pension case will be delayed. Contd/-2… -2- 3. Responsibility for delays in issue of PPO and subsequent claims of interest on this account due to non-compliance of above instructions will devolve on the unit/formations where the officer is employed during the period. 4.

Of late pension claims of retiring officers involving discipline angle are getting delayed unduly, apparently, due to some confusion in determining the involvement. Observations raised on this account and staggered response by units has been cutting into the time schedule of TEN months for initiating the pension claim. This has a cascading effect on delaying the issue of the PPO by PCDA(Pensions) Allahabad 2. To avoid delays in such cases, the following clarificatory instructions are issued:(a) Determination of involvement in a disciplinary case :The following actions / events having due authority only qualify to declare a retiring officer as involved in a ` discipline' case. (i) When under suspension irrespective of whether Charge memo issued or not. (ii) Suspension revoked due to judicial or other order but case not finalized and suspension period not regularized. (iii) Formal charge sheet issue under Rule 14 of CCS (CC&A) Rules 1965. A charge sheet under Rule 16 does not subsist as such cases have to be finalized before date of retirement. (iv) Formal charge sheet not issued but a decision to serve charge sheet taken by the Competent Authority and recorded communication to this effect to be quoted as authy if draft charge sheet is called for by the disciplinary authy. (v) Case filed by CBI / Police quoting details of charge sheet filed and date. (vi) Convicted by a court of law in a criminal case. (vii) Detained in Police / judicial custody for more than 48 hrs and deemed suspended. In all the above contingencies the offr is deemed to be involved in a `discipline' case. In such an eventuality, references of authy / communication under which the officer is involved in a `discipline' case should invariably be indicated in Appx `14' of the pension claim. Without the reference of authy the provisional pension case cannot be processed. A copy of the authy / charge memo / Intimation from Judicial / Police / CBI as the case may be should be enclosed. Contd…2/- -2(b) When discipline case finalized after issue of PPO for provisional pension :(i) Fresh Appx 15 A as annexure to IAFA 356 (Appx 15) indicating current status and any other pending discipline cases. (ii) Fresh Appx 14 Judicial Certificate (iii) Fresh Appx 11 Application for commutation without medical examination by the Offr (iv) Fresh nominations for commutation by the offr as on the date of application. (v) Copy of finalization order of discipline case by the Competent Authy (vi) Copy of spl PTO publishing the casualty of finalization of discipline case indicating penalty / exoneration etc., . (vii)If the case is finalized before retirement, but penalty of recoveries imposed, a certificate notifying recovery. (viii) If case is finalized before retirement, but penalty of reduction in pay scale imposed, a certificate and PTO certifying reduction in pay scale and recoveries of overpayment if any in the last 10 months average emoluments (c) When only enquiry is in progress (i) No effect on pensionary benefits and need not be reflected. (ii) In case charge memo is issued at a subsequent date after finalization of the enquiry, same has to be informed to CRO (O) with copy of the memo and the appx 14 initiated afresh. (iii) In case charge memo is issued after transmission of the PPO to the bankers, same has to be retrieved by the unit / formation where the officer is serving / served and fwd to this office along with documents as above to initiate provisional pension claim. 3. In short, Heads of Offices are to ensure that the retiring offrs get their correct dues. Neither short payment due to wrong interpretation of the involvement nor overpayments be made. Special watch of the integrity aspect is to be kept till date of retirement in respect of retiring officers who are involved in an ongoing inquiry. Some illustrative formats of Appx 14 and Appx 15A IAFA 356 representing different types of cases are enclosed as annexure I to III for practical guidance. The above info should be disseminated down to AGE (I) level and acknowledgement obtained. 4.

Appendix 16 being attached with pension claims is hereby dispensed with immediate effect. As a result certain modifications in the format of pension application have been carried out. Consequently sub para (i) and (j) of para 2of this office letter No. 90724/INSTS/01/EIB (P&A) dated 25 Jun 2001 are deleted and replaced with a new single sub para viz. (j) as under: Para 2 (j) (replacing para 2 (I) and (j) of CRO abid letter dated 25 Jun 2001. The existing appendix 14 format is merged with appx 15 and is redesignated appx 15 A which is an already existing prescribed pension format of IAFA 356. This format as modified is attached as appendix 15A forming part of IAFA 356 (The pension application). In case the Officer is involved in a disciplinary case, the same has to be clearly mentioned with details of references of charge memos issued, Competent Authy, and a copy of the Charge memo served etc. It may be emphacized here that an Officer is considered to be involved in a disciplinary only when a charge memo is served upon him or a specific decision is recorded by the Competent Disciplinary Authority to issue a charge memo, but the actual issue is under process. If a draft charge memo is submitted to the Competent Authy for approval, such a fact must be clearly spelt out. Subsequent issue of the charge memo must also be intimated to CRO (O) with a copy and fresh appx 15A submitted. Please note that investigation of alleged lapses by a Court of Inquiry or the recommendations of a Court are NOT the Authy for considering involvement in disciplinary case and should not be indicated. Appx 15 A should invariably be signed by the Head of the Office only Contd…P/2 : 2 : and NOT by any other Adm. Authy. In case of CE Command office only, if so considered absolutely necessary due to any reason, this certificate may be signed by ACE Command concerned for whom specific delegation for this endorsement is given. Certificates signed by any other Adm Authy will be rejected and delay on that account in pension process rests on the Unit concerned. The existing appendix 14 format is modified as per attached appendix. Appendix 16 is abolished being redundant in view of revised Appendix 14. Appendix 14 should reflect involvement in disciplinary/judicial proceedings / SPE Cases wherever a judicial/SPE /Police Charge Sheet is actually issued or an officer is under deemed suspension for being detained in Police/Judicial custody for over 48 Hrs. The certificate in appendix 14 should be signed by HOO only. In cases where the retiring officer is the Head of the fmn / office: - In such case, this certificate is to be signed by next superior in Departmental chain of control where from the officer is retiring. Where the fmn concerned is directly under E-in-C/Army HQ, this certificate will be rendered by Command Chief Engr based on the integrity report by E-in-C EID. In this connection a reference is invited to instructions issued vide E-in-C EIB (P&A) letter No. E-in-C EIOB letter No. 90724/Gen/79/33/EIB (P&A) dt 12 Jan 2001. 3. With the issue of above amendment whereever, Appendix 14 is mentioned in our ibid letter/Adm Instructions, this may be read as the modified Appendix 15A and whereever appendix 16 is mentioned, this may read as the modified appendix 14.
