Regarding payment of interest on delayed payment of gratuity

I.P.Estate, New Delhi.

No.F.12/9/2011-AC/DSIII/1163-1171

Dated: 29.08.2011

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Regarding payment of interest on delayed payment of gratuity.

A number of proposals are being received from various departments seeking approval for payment of interest on delayed payment of gratuity in respect of retired government servants on account of administrative lapses.

The attention of all the Departments is invited to the provisions laid down in RuIe-68 of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 and Government of India’s decisions thereunder. It has been provided that, if the payment of gratuity has been authorized later than the date when its payment becomes due, and it is clearly established that the delay in payment was attributable to administrative lapses, interest shall be paid at such rate as may be prescribed, and in accordance with instructions issued from time to time. In all cases where the payment of interest has been sanctioned by the department with the approval of the competent authority, such department shall fix responsibility and take disciplinary action against the government servant or servants responsible for the delay.

All necessary steps should, therefore, be taken by the Head of Office for ensuring that payment of interest on delayed payment of gratuity is avoided. Officials dealing with such files should be held accountable and responsibility be fixed for not taking timely action in this regard.

However, where disciplinary or judicial proceedings against a government servant are pending on the date of his retirement, no gratuity is to be paid until conclusion of the proceedings and issue of final orders thereon.

Henceforth, it has been decided that in all cases of payment of interest on delayed payment of gratuity attributable to administrative delays [barring cases where disciplinary or judicial proceedings against a government servant are pending on the date of his retirement] action will be taken against officials responsible for such delays which may include recovery of the amount of Interest paid on account of delayed payment of gratuity from the salary of delinquent officers/officials.

Surrender of CSS Officers by the Ministries/Departments to the Department of Personnel & Training — Instructions regarding.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Surrender of CSS Officers by the Ministries/Departments to the Department of Personnel & Training — Instructions regarding.

In the recent past some Ministries/Departments have unilaterally surrendered officers of CSS/CSSS/CSCS to DoPT mostly on the grounds of non-performance or dereliction of duty and sometimes on the ground that the officer has proceeded on long leave with or without valid reasons. This is not a good practice.

2. Firstly, such unilateral surrender of an officer on the grounds of non performance or under-performance bring stigma to the said officer and in the interest of natural justice, it is necessary that he should be given a chance to explain his position before any such action is taken. Secondly, such surrenders also pose problem before the Cadre Controlling Authority in DoPT as there may not be any available post against which salary of such an officer can be drawn till he is posted to another
Ministries/Department. And, finally, merely transferring an officer on the grounds of non performance/under performance from one department to another does not solve the basic problem of under performance in that specific case.

3. In view of the above, if an officer is not performing well or is derelict in performance of his/her duties, then the correct course of action is to take action against such officer for non performance etc. under the relevant Conduct Rules and also record such non-performance at the time of writing performance appraisals. This will not only give a chance to the officer concerned to explain himself, but would also debar non performance/under performance or dereliction of duty

4. In view of the above, Ministries/Departments are directed that they should desist from unilaterally surrendering any officer of CSS/CSSS/CSCS to DoPT. If the Ministry/Department is not satisfied with the performance of an officer, action should be 1taken against him or her against relevant rules and at that stage if it is warranted that h&she should be transferred out of the Department, a request may be made to D0PT which would be considered on priority. If, despite the above instructions, any
Ministry/Department surrenders an officer unilaterally without following the above procedure, such surrender would be presumed to have been made along with the posts and the sanctioned strength of the concerned Ministry/Department would be reduced accordingly and no replacement would be provided to the concerned Department against such surrenders.

5. It is requested that the above instructions may be strictly adhered to.

Implementation of One Rank One Pension

Improvement in pension is an ongoing process. Though the demand for One Rank One Pension (OROP) has been considered by various Committees in the past but it has not been found feasible to accept it. However, keeping in mind the spirit of the demand a Committee was set up under the Chairmanship of Cabinet Secretary to look into the issue of OROP and other related matters, which submitted its report on 30.6.2009. The Committee made seven recommendations to substantially improve pensionary benefits of Personnel Below Officer Rank (PBOR) and Commissioned Officers, which have been accepted by the Government. Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare, Ministry of Defence has accordingly issued orders in implementation of the same vide Government letters dated 30.10.2009, 19.1.2010, 20.1.2010 & 8.3.2010 which are also available on www.pcdapension.nic.in. These orders have substantially increased the pension of pre 2006 retirees.

The yearly statement of booking of Defence Pension Expenditure during and up to the month of March ending (2009-2010 & 2010-2011) shows that the total amount allotted for Defence Pension Expenditure has been booked in full and no amount is lying unspent. Further as per the reports received from various pension disbursing authorities including Public Sector Banks/Private Sector Banks almost 98.5% cases requiring revision have been cleared. Only few cases are pending for revision, which are also being pursued for early settlement.

The process of revision of pension is being monitored regularly by the Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare (ESW), Controller General of Defence Accounts (CGDA) and the Department of Financial Services.

This information was given by Minister of State for Defence Shri MM PAllam Raju in written reply to Shri K.E. Ismail in Rajya Sabha today.

Complaints about inordinate delay of 2- 3 years in settling the claims have also been received.

4. It is hereby reiterated that documents indicated in para 5 of 0M dated 21.05.09 mas’ be relied upon by the Heads of Office for admitting claims of the family pensioners.

It is also emphasized that the date of birth of the applicant may also be ascertained at the time of sanctioning family pension as it may be required for deciding the quantum of additional family pension when the family pensioner attains the age of 80 years or above.

5. In case the applicant is unable to submit any of the documents indicated above but claims family pension based on some other documentary evidence, such cases may be submitted to the administrative Ministry/ Department. The decision of the administrative Ministry/ Department in this
regard will be final.

6. Requests have also been received for inclusion of the name of dependent disabled child(ren) in the PPO during the life-time of the pensioner.

Therefore, the name(s) of such child/ children may he included in the details of family by the Head of Office on receiving a request from the pensioner or his/ her spouse. However, family pension would be sanctioned only when their turn comes to receive the family pension on the demise of the pensioner/ family pensioner, after examining (he claim(s) of
such disabled children for family pension subject to the fulfillment of conditions stipulated in the relevant provisions of CCS(Pension) Rules, 1972.

7. All Minístries/ Departments are requested to give wide publicity to these clarifications.
