PR E FAC E
Finance Deptt. previously prepared compendium of the circulars relating to WBS (DCRB) Rules’71 which covered the period upto December, 1994. Since then a number of circulars have been issued from Finance Department relating to Pensionary matters. The need to compile those circulars after 1994 has long been felt. This volume is the result of the earnest effort to compile all the relevant circulars on this subject into one handy book. We hope this handbook will be useful for different Govt. offices in dealing with the cases of pensionary matters in terms of WBS(DCRB) Rules’71. Utmost care has been taken to make the compilation exhaustive and useful to all. Even then if any error/omission is noticed, the same may please be brought to the knowledge of this Deptt. In fine, I would like to appreciate the special efforts put in by Sri Kingsuk Kumar Bandyopadhyay, W.B.C.S. (Ex.), Joint Secretary (Pension) and Sri Biswanath Mukherjee, Head Assistant, Pension Branch for such compilation.
Sri H.K. Dwivedi Secretary, Finance Department.

Government of West Bengal Finance Department D.O.No. 1557-F(Pen)
Dated, Calcutta, the 22nd Sept. ’94.
Dear Shri Mallick, Please refer to your D.O. Letter No. Pen.Co-ordn/4/Vol.VI/357 dated 6.10.93 regarding fixation of pay on contract appointment after retirements. It is clarified that in general we follow the spirit of Rule 55B of WBSR Pt.I while fixing the amount of consolidated pay of a re-employed pensioner on contract appointment and the said amount is kept within the sum total of last pay drawn before retirement less pension + D.A. admissible on re-employment less D.A. relief on pension and other allowances, if admissible. In such cases though the amount so fixed is much in excess of the basic pay as admissible on re-employment as per provision of Rule 55B of WBSR, Pt.I, it may not be construed as violation of the said rule as the consolidated pay includes admissible allowances also in addition to basic pay. But if the consolidated pay has been fixed in any case at a higher rate than the amount as admissible on the basis of principle followed by us as stated above, the same would not be in conformity with the spirit of rule referred to above and the matter requires to be regularised by Government. As regards the second point, since while working out the amount of consolidated pay, the fact of drawal of D.A. relief is taken into account by reducing the amomat of D.A. by the amount of D.A. relief on pension, the re-employed pensioner may be allowed to draw the D.A. relief on pension along with his pension separately subject to satisfaction in each individual case that the consolidated pay has been fixed on the above principle and there has been no extra benefit on account of D.A. and D.A. relief on pension taken together. Yours sincerely, Sd/- G.N. Chatterjee

Dated, the 6th October, 1993.
Dear Shri Chatterjee, In some pension cases, it has been noticed by this office that the retired Govt. employees are being re-employed in state autonomous bodies/undertakings on contract basis with a consolidated pay which is in excess of their last pay drawn before retirement from Govt. service. As such, I would request you to clarify whether payment of such condolidated pay in excess of the last pay drawn before retirement from Govt. service, violates the provisions of the Rule 55B of the W.B.S.R. Part-I and if so, how such payments will be regularised. 2.
Besides, I would request you to clarify whether such retired Govt. servants who are in receipt of such consolidated pay on re-employment, will be entitled to draw dearness relief on pension during the period of re-employment.
3.
I would request you kindly to look into the matter arrange to issue the aforesaid clarifications at an early date. Regards, Yours sincerely, Sd/- S. Mallick

Sir, I am directed to refer to your D.O. Letter No. Pen.Co-ordn/4-Vol.VI/75 dated 1.6.94 followed by D.O. reminder No. Pen.Co-ordn/ 4-Vol.VI/306 dated 20.10.94 addressed to Shri G.N. Chatterjee, Joint Secretary, 4
Finance Department regarding eligibility of the wife of a Government servant who fled away with another person and got re-married long before the death of the Government servant, but after introduction of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 for family pension and death-gratuity. The issue was taken up with Ld. L.R., West Bengal who has opined as follows :— “The marriage between such woman and the Government servant concerned cannot be declared void even by a Court of Law in the circumstances of the case but the concerned husband could approach a Court of Law for a decree of divorce under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act and in the event of a decree being passed in favour of the husband such wife could not lay any claim either to pension or gratuity of her first husband.” Hence, unless such decree is obtained by the first husband of the wife before his death, the wife will be eligible for family pension and death-gratuity as per rules which she would have received in case she did not leave her husband prior to his death. The son of the deceased Government employee will however get a share of death gratuity in terms of rule 7(1) (e) (l) of W.B.S. (DCRB) Rules, 1971 read with F.D. Notification No. 2564-F dated 30.3.76 in case no nomination subsists. A copy of the Ld. L.R’s Note dated 17.1.95 and a copy of the precis to which the said Note is a reply is enclosed for perusal. Yours faithfully, Sd/- B.N. Pal Deputy Secretary to the Government of West Bengal.
Ld. L.R., West Bengal’s Note dated 17.1.95. I have perused the precis. It appears from the precis that the wife of the deceased Government servant left her husband and get herself re-married long before the death of the Govt. servant. The question is whether such re-marriage, if the term can be used as such, will automatically dissolve the marriage between her and the Govt. servant. The answer to the query is in the negative. The marriage between such woman and the Govt. servant concerned cannot be declared void even by a Court of Law in the circumstance of the case but the concerned husband could approach Court of Law for a decree of divorce under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act and in the event of a decree being passed in favour of the husband such wife could not lay any claim either to pension or gratuity of her first husband. As such step has not been taken by the Govt. servant concerned as per precis, the marriage between two shall be deemed to have continued even this day and in the eye of law she shall be treated as widow of the Govt. servant concerned. Hindu Succession Act of course lays down certain 5
disqualifications and one such disqualification also relates to the re-marriage of certain types of widows but Succession Act does not make any such disqualification in the ease of widow of the intestate as because such widow obviously is the widow of the person concerned when succession opens on the death of the husband. The bar of re-marriage of widows extends to only three classes of widows as mentioned in Section 24 of the Hindu Succession Act. Therefore, in the present case the widow in question is eligible to get retirement benefits which she would have received in case she did not leave her husband prior to his death. It is not however correct that the son of the deceased cannot get the benefit of death gratuity unless, the marriage of the women with the Govt. servant is held to be void. The definition of “family” as appearing in the West Bengal Services (Death-cum-Retirement Benefit) Rules, 1971 differs while the question of death gratuity is concerned from the definition of ‘family’ for the purpose of family pension. In accordance with definition of ‘family’ for the purpose of death gratuity son amongst others as mentioned therein are entitled to share the same. Therefore, even if the marriage is subsisting the son in questions is entitled to share the gratuity together with his mother. For the purpose of family pension the son cannot get the same in view of Rule 104 of the D.C.R.B. Rules.
Sd/- A.B. Mukherjee L.R. In-Charge 17.1.95
Precis of the case Accountant General, West Bengal has wanted to know whether family pension and death gratuity may be paid to the son of a deceased Government servant during the life-time of the wife of the Government servants who fled away with another person and get re-married long before the death of the Govt. servant but after introduction of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. It is felt that unless the first marriage of the wife is held void, the son of the deceased cannot get the benefit of death-gratuity and family pension. The question is whether the first marriage of the wife is to be held automatically void with the second marriage of the wife or it cannot be held void unless declared as such by a Court of Law, Ld. L.R., West Bengal may be requested to give his valued opinion. Copy of D.O.No. Pen.Co-ordn/4-Vol. VI/306 dated 20.10.94 from S. Mallick, Dy.

: Counting of Pay for pensionary benefits in the cases of promotees borne in the Secretariat Common Cadre.
Sir, I am directed to say that there is a case pending in the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta in the matter of implementation of Common Cadre in the Sectt. Due to pending of this Court case, all promotions in the Sectt. Common Cadre are allowed on provisional and ad-hoc basis. But these promotions are not “provisional” in the normal sense of the term, as there is no likelihood of these promotees being reverted. In some cases of retirement of these promotees objections have been raised regarding counting of emolument drawn last on promotion for pensionary benefits. Now after careful consideration of the matter the Governor has been pleased to decide that the emolument drawn last by the employees borne in the Sectt. Common Cadre though promoted on provisional and ad-hoc basis will count towards calculation of pensionary benefits, as a special case and in relaxation of rules. Yours faithfully, Sd/- B.N.

3.
After careful consideration of the matter, the Governor has been pleased to decide that in such an event and situation as discussed above, the previous Head of Office, by whom the payment authorities from the Principal Accoutant-General (A&E), West Bengal have been received, shall draw the relevant cheques as per para 1.6 as if he is the present Head of Office of the concerned employee. After drawal of the relevant cheques the previous Head of Office shall forward the said cheques along with relevant papers to the present Head of Office of the retiring employee in advance to enable the present Head of office to hand over the cheque on the schedule date to the concerned employee. The present Head of office of the retiring employee, on receipt of the relevant cheques etc. from the previous head of office, shall complete the residual work as enjoined in paras 1.6 and 1.7 of the aforementioned Memo. After handing over the cheques pensioner’s copy of intimation letter of P.P.O. and the certificate under para 1.7 to the retiring employee, the present head of office shall take stops for revision of pension of the retired Govt. employee if the transfer involves a change of pay or anything having a bearing on the pensionary benefits of the retired employee concerned.
4.
The Governor has further been pleased to direct that all heads of offices to submit pension cases complete in all respects to the Principal Accountant-General (A&E), West Bengal just before six months in advance from the date of superannuation of the concerned employees.

Question has been raised as to the admissibility of family pension to children of a deceased Govt. employee/pensioner from a wife whose marriage with the said Govt. employee/pensioner would be voidable or held void under the provisions of Hindu Marriage Act. 2.
In view of the fact that Section 16 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 as amended by Hindu Marriage Laws (Amendment) Act states “Notwithstanding that a marriage is null and void under Section 11, any child of such marriage who would have been legitimate, if the marriage had been valid shall be legitimate, whether such child is born before or after the commencement of Marriage Law (Amendment) Act, 1976 and whether or not a decree of nullity is granted in respect of that marriage under this Act, and, whether or not the marriage is held to be void otherwise than on a petition under Act”.

The rights of such children require to be protected and will accrue accordingly. It is, therefore, clarified that pensionary benefits will be granted to children of a deceased Govt. employee/pensioner from such type of void marriages when their turn comes in accordance with rule 105 ibid. It may be noted that they will have no claim whatsoever to receive family pension as long as the legally wedded wife is the recipient of the same. Sd/- D.

Sub :
Revision of Pension of Pre –1.1.86 pensioners.
The undersigned is directed to state that in continuation of instructions contained in this Department’s Memorandum No.1128-F(Pen), dt.27.10.98, the Governor is now pleased to decide that the pension/family pension of all pre-1.1.1986 pensioners/family pensioners, whose pension has been consolidated under Memo. No.1128-F (Pen), dt. 27.10.98 as an interim measure (para 11 of the said Memo.), may be revised with effect from 01.04.97 in the manner indicated in the succeeding paragraphs :– 2.1 The revision of pension may be made either a)
on actual calculation basis with reference to service and other pension records with notional fixation of pay, or
b)
on ad-hoc basis @ 10% (ten per cent) increase on the consolidated amount of pension as shown in this Department Memo. No. 1128-F(Pen), dt. 27.10.98.
2.2. To avail of this benefit, a pre-1.1.86 pensioner/family pensioner is required to exercise an option for either of the two alternatives in the form prescribed at Annexure-IV (in duplicate) along with application in prescribed form (in duplicate) as at Annexure-II within a period of 180 days from the date of issue of these orders. The option once exercised shall be final. Those who fail to exercise option and submit application not within the stipulated period will be deemed to have opted to continue to draw their existing pension/family pension. 2.3 In cases where the pensioner/family pensioner was alive as on 1.4.97 and died subsequently, his/her legal heir(s) or nominee(s) as per Payment of Arrears of Pension (Nomination) Rules, 1986, as the case may be, is/are also entitled to life time arrears with effect from 1.4.97 till the date of death of pensioner/ family pensioner. For this purpose legal heir(s) or nominee(s), as the case may be, may also submit option and application. FOR PENSIONERS/FAMILY PENSIONERS OPTED FOR REVISION ON ACTUAL CALCULATION BASIS 3.1 Under existing rules, at present, pension/family pension is based on the emoluments last drawn by the Government employee concerned. Government has decided that pension of all pre-1986 ratirees who were alive on 1.4.97 may be updated by notional fixation of their pay as on 1.1.86 by adopting the same formula as for the serving employees and thereafter for the purpose of consolidation of their pension/ family pension as on 1.1.86, they may be treated alike those who have retired on or after 1.1.86. 56
Accordingly, pay of all those Govt. employees who retired prior to 1.1.86 and were in receipt of pension as on 1.1.86 and also in cases of those Govt. employees who died prior 1.1.86 in respect of whom family pension was being paid on 1.1.86, will be fixed on notional basis in the revised scale of pay for the post held by the pensioner at the time of retirement or on the date of death of Government employee, introduced subsequent to retirement/death of Govt. employee, consequent upon promulgation of Revised Pay Rules on implementation of recommendations of successive Pay Commissions or due to general revision of the scale of pay for the post, etc. The number of occasions on which pay shall be required to be fixed on notional basis in each individual case would vary and may be required to be revised on several occasions in respect of those employees who retired in the ‘fifties’ and ‘sixties’. In all such cases pay fixed on notional basis on the first occasion shall be treated as ‘pay’ for the purpose of emoluments for re-fixation of pay in the revised scale of pay on the second occasion and other elements like DA/ADA/IR, etc. based on this national pay shall be taken into account. In the same manner, pay on notional basis shall be fixed on subsequent occasions. The last occasion of such fixation of pay shall be in the scale introduced under WBS (ROPA) Rules, 1990 effective from 1.1.86. While fixation of pay on notional basis on each occasion, the pay fixation formulae approved by Govt. and other relevant instructions on the subject in force at the relevant time shall be strictly followed. However, the benefit of any notional increments admissible in terms of the rules and instructions applicable at the relevant time shall not be extended in any case of re-fixation of pay on notional basis. The notional pay so arrived as on 1.1.86 shall be treated as emoluments for the purpose of calculation of pension and accordingly the pension shall be calculated as on 1.1.86 as per the pension formula then prescribed. The pension so calculated shall be consolidated as on 1.4.97 in accordance with the provisions contained in paragraph 4.1 of this Deptt.’s Memo No. 1128-F(Pen), dt. 27.10.98. Such consolidated full pension shall not, however, be less than 50 per cent of the corresponding minimum of the revised scale of pay introduced with effect from 1.1.96 for the post last held by the concerned pensioners. However, such pension will be suitably reduced pro-rata, where the pensioner has less than the maximum required service for full pension as per normal rules applicable to the pensioner as on the date of his/her superannuation/retirement and in no case it will be less than Rs. 1300/- per month. This pension shall be treated as the basic pension for the purpose of future grant of relief on pension. 3.2 In the case of family pension, the notional pay as on 1.1.86 fixed as per provision of para 3.1 above shall be treated as pay last drawn by the deceased Govt. employee/pensioner and family pension shall be calculated thereon at the rate in force as on 1.1.86. This family pension shall be consolidated as on 1.4.97 in accordance with the provisions contained in para 4.1 of this Deptt.’s Memo. No. 1128-F(Pen) dt. 27.10.98. Such consolidated family pension shall not, however, be less than 30 per cent of the minimum of the revised scale of pay introduced with effect from 1.1.96 for the post last held by the concerned pensioner/deceased Govt. employee. 3.3 It has been separately decided that family pension shall be calculated at a uniform rate of 30 per cent of basic pay instead of slab system and shall be subject to a minimum of Rs. 1300/- per month and maximum of Rs. 6,720/- per month. It has also been decided that the benefit of increased rate of family pension may also be extended to pre-1.1.86 family pensioners from 1.4.97. Accordingly, in case of those pre-1.1.86 pensioners whose family pension has been calculated on notional pay under the slab system, family pension as on 1.4.97 shall be re-calculated at the rate of 30 per cent of the notional pay as determined on 1.1.86. The additional family pension becoming due on account of difference between family pension admissible under slab system and at the rate of 30 per cent shall be added to the consolidated 57
family pension worked out in accordance with the provisions of para 3.2 above. The total of these two amounts, i.e. consolidated family pension plus additional family pension, if any, shall be basic family pension with effect from 1.4.97 and shall be subject to a minimum of Rs. 1300/- per month and a maximum of Rs. 6,720/- per month. The basic family pension so calculated shall not be less than 30 per cent of the minimum of the corresponding revised scale of pay introduced with effect from 1.1.96 for the post last held by the concerned pensioner/deceased Govt. employee. Relief on pension shall be admissible in accordance with the orders issued from time to time. A few examples of calculation of family pension in the manner prescribed above are given in Annexure-I to this Memo. 3.4 In the case of existing pre-1.1.86 pensioners in whose case the family pension has not come into operation as pensioners are/were alive, while updating their pension on the basis of notional pay as on 1.1.86 the family pension shall also be revised, consolidated and updated, wherever necessary, in terms of these orders and noted on their Pension Payment Order. The updated rates of family pension will apply as and when family pension becomes payable in such cases. 3.5 Notional fixation of pay as on 1.1.86 will not affect death-cum-retirement gratuity entitlement already determined and paid with reference to rules in force at the time of retirement/death of the Govt. employee. 3.6 Each pre-1.1.86 pensioners/family pensioners or legal heir(s) or nominee(s), as the case may be, shall address the application along with option as stated in paras 2.2 and 2.3 to the Pension Sanctioning Authority, i.e. the Head of Office from which the Govt. employee/pensioner had retired or was working last before his/her death. 3.7 It shall be the responsibility of the Head of Office from which the Govt. employee had retired or was working last before his/her death to revise the pension/family pension of pre-1.1.86 pensioners/family pensioners and the Principal Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal to issue a revised pension payment order in accordance with these orders. Concerted efforts should be made by all concerned authorities to ensure that pre-1.1.86 pensioners/family pensioners are not put to any harassment or hardship in regard to re-fixation of their pay/pension/family pension. The detailed procedure/guidelines about action to be taken on the application received from pre-1986 pensioners/family pensioners by Head of Offices and other authorities for revising pay and re-computing pension/family pension are contained in Part-I of Annexure-III to this Memo. 3.8 On receipt of application along with option from the pensioner/family pensioner/legal heir(s)/nominee(s), the Head of Office will take steps for revision of pay on notional basis as stated in the preceding paras. After the pay has been revised, pension/family pension as on 1.1.86 should be computed on notional basis and thereafter, this notional pension as on 1.1.86 should be consolidated applying the formula as contained in para 4.1 of this Deptt. Memo. No. 1128-F(Pen), dt. 27.10.98. The Head of Office will forward a copy of application in Annexure-II, option in Annexure-IV along with a detailed calculation showing fixation of pay and pension etc. on notional basis as per existing rules and the final consolidated pension due from 1.4.97 to the Principal Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal along with Service Book and previous pension papers for issue of revised payment authority. No formal sanction in Single Comprehensive Form is necessary in such cases. The Principal Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal after due check at his end will issue revised authority to Pension Disbursing Authority concerned for payment and a copy of the same may be endorsed to the Head of Office concerned. 58
In case a Department/Office has been abolished or merged with another Department/Office, the case of revision of pay would have to be processed by the office in which the parent Department of the retired/deceased Govt. employee has been merged or the office which is keeping the records of the abolished Department/Office. 3.9 There may be cases where it would be difficult for the Head of Office to determine the revised scale of pay corresponding to pre-revised scale as the scales of pay have been revised from time to time and some of the scales might have become defunct after a particular period of time. In such cases, it would be for the Administrative Department to decide about equivalence of pre-revised scale with the revised scale after consulting Finance Department. 3.10 In cases where the amount of revised pension/family pension arrived at on the basis of notional fixation of pay as on 1.1.86 happens to be less than the amount of consolidated pension/family pension already drawn by pre-1.1.86 pensioners/family pensioners with effect from 1.1.86, there is no need to revise the existing pension/family pension and issue a revised P.P.O. The applicant may be outrightly apprised of this fact by the Head of Office. FOR PENSIONERS/FAMILY PENSIONERS OPTED FOR REVISION ON AD-HOC BASIS
4.1 Revision of pay on notional basis from to time time as indicated in preceding paragraphs will require locating old records for past periods. As the Departments and offices of this Government have been reorganised several times during this period, it is likely that the service records of a large number of employees may not be readily available. There is also possibility of the records having been destroyed on expiry of their scheduled retention period. Accordingly, revision of pension on actual calculations with reference to service records may involve difficulties and result in considerable delay in settlement of the claims. With a view to expediting the process of re-fixation of pension and calculation and payment of arrears, it has been decided to offer to the pensioners/family pensioners concerned revised pension calculated on the basis of ad-hoc formula developed on certain assumptions. Accordingly, those pre-1.1.86 pensioners/family pensioners who will opt for ad-hoc formula for revision of their pension shall get an increase at the rate of 10 per cent of the consolidated amount of pension/family pension as shown in this Department Memo. No.1128-F (Pen), dt.27.10.98. Fraction of a rupee shall be rounded off to the next higher rupee. This 10 per cent increase plus the consolidated pension/family pension as per Memo No.1128-F (Pen), dt.27.10.98 shall be treated as basic pension for the purpose of future grant of relief on pension. 4.2 In case of existing pre-1.1.86 pensioners in whose case the family pension has not come into operation as the pensioners are–were alive as on 1.1.86 if the pensioner concerned opted for the benefit at para 2.1(b), the family pension shall also be revised on ad-hoc basis and noted on their P.P.O. The revised family pension will apply as and when family pension becomes payable in such cases. 4.3 Each pre-1.1.86 pensioner/family pensioners or legal heir(s) or nominee(s), as the case may be, shall address the application along with option as stated in paras 2.2 and 2.3 to the Pension Disbursing Authority, i.e. the Treasury Officer or the Public Sector Banks in Calcutta, as the case may be. 4.4 All Treasury Officers in this State disbursing pension/family pension to State Govt. pensioners/family pensioners are authorised to pay pension/family pension revised on ad-hoc basis without any further authorisation from the Principal Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal after verification of the date 59
of retirement from the Pension Payment Order or other records maintained in his office. If any difficulty arises he may consult office of the Principal Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal. The Principal Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal will issue general authority for this payment to all Public Sector Banks in Calcutta and also to Accountant Generals of other States. An intimation regarding the disbursement of revised pension may be sent by the Treasury Officer or the Public Section Banks in Calcutta to the Principal Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal in the form given at Annexure-V to this Memo for updating the records maintained in his office. 5.
No arrears on account of revision of pension on actual calculation basis or on ad-hoc basis will be admissible for the period prior to 1.4.97.
6.
No commutation will be admissible for the additional amount of pension accruing as a result of revision on actual or ad-hoc basis. The existing commuted portion of pension, if any, would continue to be deducted from the pension revised on actual or ad-hoc basis while making monthly disbursement so long the commuted protion of pension is not restored as per existing rules.
7.
Arrears already paid on account of consolidation of pension/family pension as an interim measure in accordance with the provision contained in paragraph 11 of this Department Memo. No.1128-F (Pen), dt.27.10.98 shall be adjusted by pension disbursing authority against arrears becoming due on the revision of pension/family pension on the basis of this order.
8.
Where the Government employees in permanent absorption in Public Sector Undertakings/Autonomous Bodies continue to draw pension separately from the Government, the pension of such absorbees will also be updated in terms of these orders as per their option. Cases of the Government employees who have drawn one time terminal benefits in lump sum equal to 100% of their pensions shall not be covered by these orders.
9.
This order shall be deemed to have taken effect from 1.4.97.
10. All Departments/Directorates are requested to bring the contents of these orders to the notice of all Heads of Offices under them. All Pension Disbursing Authorities are also advised to prominently display these orders on their Notice Boards for the benefit of the pensioners/family pensioners.

ANNEXURE-III Part-I [Para 3.7 of Finance Deptt. Memo. No.2706-F (Pen), dt.7.9.99] Guidelines for Revision of Pay and Re-fixation of Pension etc. for Pre-01.01.86 pensioners/Family Pensioners. For the Head of Office (a) The Head of Office will accept the application in Annexure-II, in duplicate, for the revision of pension/ family pension in respect of those pre 01.01.86 pensioners/family pensioners who were in receipt of pension/family pension on 01.04.97. (b) The relevant entries in the application will be verifiedwith reference to documentary evidence available in the office and/or with the applicant; and for fixation of pay on notional basis as on 01.01.86 the following factual information will have to be collected in each individual case :1.
The date from which pension/family pension was sanctioned.
2.
Post, scale of pay for the post and stages of pay on the date of retirement/death of the Govt. employee.
3.
Occasions on which the pay of the post held by the pensioner/deceased Govt. employee in case of family pension was revised between the period from the date from which pension/family pension was sanctioned till 01.01.86. Such revision could have taken place due to promulgation of Revised Pay Rules on implementation of recommendations of successive Pay Commissions or upward revision of the scale by the Government. 63
4.
The corresponding replacement scale of pay accepted for the pre-revised scale on each occasion.
5.
The standard formula adopted for fixation of pay in the revised scale for the then serving employees on each occasion.
(c) Thereafter, in each individual case, the pay of the retired/deceased employee would be fixed successively on notional basis. This implies that on the first occasion, the pay in the revised scale of pay would be fixed on the basis of pay last drawn by the retiree/Govt. employee before retirement/death as if he was drawing the same pay in the pre-revised scale on the date of new scale of pay. The notional pay so arrived at would be the basis for fixation of pay in revised scale on the second occasion meaning thereby as if he had drawn the same pay during the entire duration till the further revision of the scale of pay. This exercise shall be carried out till the pay is fixed in revised scale of pay introuduced under the WBS (ROPA) Rules, 1990 effective from 01.01.86. It may be noted that in case of fixation of pay on notional basis, the normal benefit of increment beyond the period the retiree/Govt. exployee was in service or the benefit of any notional increments admissible in terms of rules and instructions applicable at the relevant time shall not be admissible in any case. The notional pay so arrived at as on 01.01.86 shall be treated as emoluments last drawn for the purpose of computation of pension and family pension. The revised pension as on 01.01.86 would be calculated by taking into account emoluments as referred to above but the other constituents of the pension formula would remain the same as provided under the Pension Rules i.e. fifty per cent of emoluments last drawn after completing qualifying service of not less than thirty-three years and pro-rata deduction in case of lesser number of years of qualifying service but in any case not less than ten years qualifying for which no pension is admissible. The pension so arrived shall not be less than Rs.400/-p.m. and more than Rs.3,650/-p.m. Similarly, family pension shall be re-calculated on the pay worked out notionally as on 01.01.86 applying the same formula as applicable on 01.01.86. The next step would be to consolidate pension/family pension as on 01.01.96. The same will be consolidated with effect from 01.04.97 by adding together :i)
Pension/family pension arrived at on 01.01.86 on notional fixation of pay.
ii)
Relief on pension at the rates contained in this Dept. Memo.No.1120-F (Pen), dt.20.08.96, i.e. @ 148%, 111% and 96% as admissible.
iii)
First Interim Relief @ Rs.50/-p.m.
iv)
Second Interim Relief @ 10% of pension or Rs.50/-p.m. which ever is greater.
v)
An amount equivalent to 40% of pension/family pension as at (i) above. In the case of pension, the consolidated amount so worked out will be regarded as consolidated basic pension with effect from 01.04.97 and shall be subject to minimum/maximum ceiling prescribed in this Deptt.

Government of West Bengal Finance Department Pension Branch “Hemanta Bhavan” : Top Floor 12, B.B.D. Bag (East), Kolkata-700001. MEMORANDUM No. 335-F(Pen)
Dated, Kolkata, the 7th March, 2001.
In Finance Department’s Memo No. 1315-F(Pen) dated 14.10.96, the scheme for payment of pension and gratuity on the date of superannuation of State Government employees has been introduced. This scheme was made applicable in respect of employees who attained the age of superannuation on 31st August, 1997 onwards. Before enhancement of age of superannuation of State Government employees pensionary benefits were released on the date of superannuation under this scheme covering a period of 9 months i.e. from August ‘97 to April ‘98. The scheme is still applicable in respect of Group ‘D’ employees and also the employees who are due for superannuation normally after attaining the age of 60 years. In respect of other employees (due for superannuation after attaining 58 years of age) due to enhancement of age of superannuation (as no superannuation of this category of employees take place/will take place upto 30.04.2000) from 58 years to 60 years, there is a respite of 2 years in the implementation of this scheme. Now the scheme is operational in respect of all categories of State Government Employees. With the introduction of new system for sanction and payment of pensionary benefits of State Government employees on the date of superannuation, a considerable volume of additional work has devolved on Pension Branch, Finance Department. The entire system is being monitored by this Branch. This Branch is also required to keep close contact with all Pension Sanctioning Authorities throughout the State (about 5500 in number), Pension Disbursing Authorities and the office of Principal Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal. While monitoring the scheme, it is felt that to achieve 100% success in implementing the scheme, the procedural rules for processing the pension cases should be modified to some extent as discussed in the succeeding paragraphs to hand over pensionary benefits in 100% cases on the date of superannuation. For this purpose it has already been decided to computerize the entire system and the work of computerization is already in progress. The intention is that the Pension Branch will keep records of all the State Government pensioners more or less in the same manner as is being done by the Central Government in respect of their pensioners. In a year, around 18,000 cases of retirement including cases of death in harness of State Government employees are being dealt with. To keep 100% data records of pensioners in Pension Branch the entire monitoring work will be divided into 12 zones for the time being as follows :1)

Subject : Requirement of periodical Medical Certificates in terms of rule 104A(V) of WBS (DCRB) Rules, 1971 Provisions exist in the W.B.S. (DCRB) Rules, 1971, as amended from time to time, to the grant of family pension in favour of any handicapped son or daughter of Government employees under certain conditions as contained in rule 104A ibid. 2. Once such family pension is sanctioned upon fulfilment of the conditions of rule 104A ibid, continuance of the same for life depends upon fulfilment of a further condition as mentioned in clause (v) of rule 104A ibid which requires the recipient to produce every three years a certificate from a Medical Officer not below the rank of Civil Surgeon to the effect that he or she continues to suffer the handicap. 105
3. It has come to the notice of this Department that obtaining such further certificates from a Civil Surgeon at every three years is causing hardship to such handicapped recipients, especially those who are residing in remote localities. 4. After careful consideration of the matter and to alleviate the difficulties being faced by such handicapped persons in obtaining subsequent certificates from a Civil Surgeon every three years, the Governor has been pleased to decide, in relaxation of clause (v) of rule 104A ibid, that henceforth such subsequent certificates may be produced from any Medical Officer of Government who is competent to issue such certificate in the respective discipline. The provisions made in the West Bengal Services (Death-cum-Retirement Benefit) Rules, 1971 shall be deemed to have been amended to this extent. Formal amendment may be made in due course. Sd/- D.

(DCRB) Rules, 1971. I would like to inform you that in terms of rule 14 ibid, interim allowance is based on pension. As pension is subject to revision consequent upon a general revision of pension, it is necessary for the sake of justice that whenever a general revision of pension is made, interim allowance should also be similarly revised.

Dear Smt. Saha, Please refer to your predecessor’s D.O. letter No. Pen.

I would like to mention that para 3.1. of Memo. No. 2706-F(Pen) dt. 7.9.99 clearly states that the notional pay fixed under ROPA ‘90 as on 1.1.86 shall be treated as emoluments for the purpose of calculation of pension and accordingly the pension shall be calculated as on 1.1.86 as per the pension formula then prescribed. As revision of pay as on 1.1.86 under ROPA ‘90 also includes revision of special pay where admissible; and as per pension formula as on 1.1.86, ‘emolument’ for the purpose of calculation of pension includes special pay, it is clear that special pay will form part of the emoluments for the purpose of notional revision of pension w.e.f. 1.1.86.

Dated, Kolkata, the 1st January, 2002. MEMORANDUM
Subject
: Authorisation of the payment of pension, etc. in cases where last pay etc. is found, on scrutiny, to be in excess due to wrong fixation of pay etc.
Consequent upon issue of Memo No. 335-F (Pen), dt.7.3.2001, this Department has started receiving as well as scrutinising pension cases in respect of employees who are due to retire on superannuation from 31st May, 2002 onwards. 2.
Scrutiny of the pension cases reveals wrong fixation of pay, in some cases, either under various WBS (ROPA) Rulesor C.A. Scheme or relevant rules/ orders governing fixation of pay involving overdrawal of pay and allowances which are requirod to be recovered from the concerned Govt. employee out of gratuity before pension is authorised by the Office of the Principal Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal.
3.
Accordingly, concerned Head of Office is required to rectify the wrong fixation of pay and to ascertain the amount of overdrawal involved. It is apprehended that this process may take some time leading to delay in settlement of pensionary benefit.
4.
In consideration of the circumstances as stated above and also to ensure timely payment of pension, the Governor has been pleased to decide that the following steps may be taken :i)
Pension as well as commuted value of pension, where applied for, may be authorised by the office of the Principal Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal on the basis of pay as corrected and checked and verified by this Department in Annexure-I of Memo No. 335-F (Pen), dt.7.3.2001. No gratuity will be authorised.
ii)
On receipt back of the pension case the Head of Office will proceed to rectify the wrong fixation of pay etc. and ascertain the amount of overdrawal involved for adjustment of the same against gratuity and will re-send the case to the office of the Principal Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal for authorisation of gratuity.
iii)
Thereafter, office of the Principal Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal will issue authority for payment of gratuity after adjustment of the overdrawal amount. If the entire overdrawal amount could not be adjusted against the gratuity the excess amount of overdrawal may be adjusted against relief on pinsion sanctioned to the pensioner and a direction will be sent to the Pension Disbursing Authority by the Principal Accountant General, (A&E), West Bengal.

In order to implement the scheme with 100% success, Govt. subsequently formulated a new procedure under Memo No.335-F (Pen), dt.7.3.2001 which envisaged that all pension cases covering about 5500 Pension Sanctioning Authorities throughout the State should be submitted to and checked centrally in the Pension Branch of Finance Department before being sent to the Office of the Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal and this new procedure envisaged in Memo No.335-F (Pen), dt.7.3.2001 was made applicable in respect of retirements on or after 31.5.2002. 2. Government has made a review of the working of the new procedure and it has been found that due to lack of proper infrastructre and also some other difficulties the new procedure has not been working as satisfactorily as was contemplated initially. 3.
After consideration of the present position as stated above, it has been decided to go back to the earlier position prevailing prior to issue of Finance Department Memo No.335-F (Pen), dt.7.3.2001 and, accordingly, the undersigned is directed by order of the Governor to State as follows :i)

ii)
No pension case will henceforth be received by Pension Branch of Finance Department in respect of an employee retiring after 31.3.2004.
iii)
All pension cases in respect of employees retiring/dying after 31.3.2004 should be submitted by the heads of offices direct to the office of the Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal six months in advance from the date of retirement as per the earlier procedure and following the time-schedule as contained in Finance Department Memo No.1315-F (Pen), dt.14.10.96.

Dated, the 7th March, 2006.
It has been brought to the notice of the Government that a large number of pension cases are lying pending with different Pension Sanctioning Authorities (PSAS) either for want of sanctions or because replies to the querles of Accountant General, West Bengal are not being sent in due time. These cases are pursued by the office of the Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal at regular intervals by way of issuing reminders. The mechanism of Pension Peripatetic Party consisting of officers of Accountant General, West Bengal and this Department is also being utilised for settlement of such pending cases. But even with such efforts, the number of such cases are increasing day by day. 2.
In view of above, all the Pension Sanctioning Authorities are requested to take suitable action for settlement of the pending pension cases with utmost urgency. They are also requested to furnish to this department a list of pending pension cases, indicating the reasons for non-settlement of the same, in the first week of every month. A copy of the letter with which they forward the pension case of an employee to the Accountant General West Bengal may also be endorsed to the Pension Branch of the Finance Department without fail.
3.
It is needless to mention that delay in settlement of the pension cases causes extreme hardship to the retired Government exployees and so every one involved in the process of sanction of pension should handle the cases as expeditiously as possible.

How the widowed/divorced daughter will come in chronological order in the definition of family for the purpose of family pension in terms of Rule 7(1)(e)(2) of WBS (DCRB) Rules, 1971.
Clarifications The position of the widowed/diovorced daughter in the definition of family will come before the dependent parents. In fact they will be accommodated in the column (iv) itself of 7(1)(e)(2) of WBS (DCRB) Rules, 1971. For 162
Points raised
Clarifications example, if such daughter is one among two or more children of the concerned employee, the family pension shall be initially payable to the minor children in the order set out in rule 104 read with rule 105 of WBS (DCRB) Rules, 1971 (as amended from time to time until the last minor child attends the maximum age for admissibility of family pension and thereafter family pension shall be resumed in favour of the widowed/divorced daughter and shall be payable to her for life subject to fulfilment of other conditions as laid down in the memorandum.
iv) Whether this order will be effective from the date of occurrece of the happening on or after 29.6.06 when Govt. employee retiring/dying before the issue of the G.O. dated 29.6.06.
This order is effective from 29.6.06 onwards. Hence the widowed/divorced daughter of the Govt. employee and/or the spouse retiring/dying before the issue of the G.O. will be entitled to the benefit w.e.f. 29.6.06.
v) Whether family pension in favour of widowed/ divorced daughter will be started where Govt. employee as well as spouse died before the issue of the G.O. dated 29.6.06.
Clarified against point no. IV.
vi) Who will be the competent authority for certifying the income ceiling of Rs. 2600/- p.m. from employment in the Govt./Semi-Govt./ Statutory Body/Corporation, undertaking, Private Sector, Self Employment etc.

Points raised
Clarifications A question may arise that the employed widow/widower of a Govt. employee gets family pension alongwith his/her salary and there is no ceiling of income. But in that case he/she is earning his/her part on his/her own. Moreover relief is not allowed in this case.
viii) Whether a divorced daughter is eligible to get such family pension while she is getting maintenance more than the mentioned ceiling from her husband due to divorce.
Maintenance from ex-husband in respect of a divorced daughter is an income to her. If it exceeds the mentioned ceiling, the divorced daughter will not be entitled to the benefit.

The widowed/divorced daughter is eligible to get only one family pension in respect of any one of the parents.

I am to furnish herewith the following clarifications on the remaining three points :Points raised at
Clarifications
(ii) How the payment of such type of family pension will be regulated when a deceased Govt. employee has more than one divorced/ widowed daughter.
When a deceased Govt. employee has more than one divorced/widowed daughter, family pension shall be payable in order of their date of birth and the younger of them will not be eligible for family pension unless the next above her become inclugible for grant of family pension.
(iii) What procedure is to be followed in those cases where one widowed/divorced daughter becomes eligible for getting such family pension when another divorced/widowed daughter is already drawing such type of family pension.
In case of second daughter contemplated in the query is younger than the widowed/divorced daughter already in receipt of the family pension, the reply is covered under (ii) above. Otherwise, i.e. when the second daughter, who became widowed/divorced later on is elder than the daughter in receipt of the family pension, she will have to wait for receiving family pension till the ineligibility of her younger sister.
(x) How family pension will be regulated when a family of deceased Govt. employee/pensioner consists of both physically handicapped/mentally crippled children and divorced/widowed daughters?
When a family of deceased Govt. employee/pensioner consists of both physically handicapped/mentally crippled children and divorced/widowed daughter, family pension will be payable only to the physically handicapped/mentally crippled child. 174
It may be further clarified that consequent upon inclusion of unmarried daughter as recipient of family pension for life vide Finance Department Memorandum No. 138-F(Pen), dated 3.3.2008, family pension to the unmarried/widowed/divorced daughters beyound the age of 25 years shall be payable only after the other eligible children below the age of 25 years have ceased to be eligible to receive family pension and also that there is no physically disabled/mentally crippled child.

After careful consideration of the matter, the Governor has now been pleased to decide as follows :Family pension to the minor children (upto 25 years) shall be payable in order of their birth and the younger of them will not be eligible for family pension unless the next above him/her has become ineligible for the grant of family pension. Where the family pension is payable to twin children, it shall be divided between them in equal shares. When one such child ceases to be eligible, his/her share shall revert to the other child and when both of them cease to be eligible, the family pension shall be payable to the next eligible single child/twin children, whatever the case may be. This will take effect from the date of issue of this memorandum. Necessary amendment in WBS (DCRB) Rules, 1971 will be made in due course.

For example, if a pensioner had retired in the pre-revised scale of pay of Rs.18,400-500-22,400, the corresponding Pay Band being Rs.37,400-60,000 and the corresponding Grade Pay being Rs.10,000/- p.m., his minimum guaranteed pension would be 50% of Rs.37,400+Rs.10,000 i.e. Rs.23,700.00 provided he has rendered 33 years Qualifying Service. A concordance table of the pre-1996, pre-2006 and post 2006 pay scales/pay bands is enclosed at Annexure-I to facilitate payment of revised pension/family pension in terms of para 4.4 of the memo dt. 25.02.09 in all cases where fixation of pension under that provision is more beneficial. Some illustrations for calculation of pension/family pension in terms of para 4.4 ibid have been given at Annexure-II. It is further clarified that as per para 4.4 of the memorandum dt.25.02.09, the revised pension of those who retired after completing maximum required Qualifying Service (i.e. 33 years) before 01.01.06 cannot be less than the pension indicated at Col.8 at Annexure-I (i.e. 50% of the sum of minimum of Pay Band and the Grade Pay corresponding to the scale of pay the pensioners held at the time of their retirement). The pension as indicated at Col.8 of the Annexure-I will be reduced pro-rata where the pensioner had less than the maximum required Qualifying Service (i.e. 33 years) for full pension and in no case it will be less than Rs.3300/-p.m. In case the pension consolidated as per para 4.1 of the memo dt.25.02.09 is higher than the pension calculated in the manner as above, the same (higher pension) will be treated as Basic Pension. The revised family pension in respect of those pensioners who retired before 01.01.06 and the Government employee who died before 01.01.06 cannot be less than the pension as indicated at Col. 9 at Annexure-I (i.e. 30% of the sum total of minimum of Pay Band and Grade Pay corresponding to the Scale of 286
Pay the pensioners held al the time of their retirement). In case the family pension consolidated as per para 4.1 of the memo dt.25.02.09 is higher than the family pension indicated at Col. 9 at Annexure-I, the same (the higher family pension) will be treated as Basic Family pension. The Pension Sanctioning Authority will revise the Pension/Family Pension and send the same to Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal with Service Book and previous pension papers for issue of revised payment authority alongwith a copy to the respective Treasuries and the Treasuries in turn, will start payment of revised pension provisionally until they receive revised payment order from the Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal. No formal sanction in Single Comprehensive Form is necessary in such cases. The Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal after due check at his end will issue revised authority to Pension Disbursing Authority concerned and a copy of the same may be endorsed to the Pension Sanctioning Authority concerned within a period of ten months. In case a Department/Office has been abolished or merged with another Department/Office, the case of revision of pension would have to be processed by the office in which the parent Department of the retired/deceased Government employee has been merged or the office which is keeping the records of the abolished Department/Office. Where the Government employees in permanent absorption in Public Sector Undertakings/Autonomous bodies continue to draw pension separately from Government, the pension of such absorbees will also be updated in terms of these orders as per their option. Cases of the Government employees who have drawn one time terminal benefits in lump sum equal to 100% of their pension shall not be covered by these orders. A suitable entry regarding the revised pension shall be recorded by the Pension Disbursing Authorities in both halves of the Pension Payment Order. An intimation regarding disbursement of revised pension may be sent by the Pension Disbursing Authorities to the Office of the Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal which had issued the P.P.O. in the revised Form given at Annexure-III so that they can verify the pension so revised and up-date the P.P.O. register etc. An acknowledgement from Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal shall be obtained by the Pension Disbursing Authorities from the Office of the Accountant General (A&E), West Bengal. Provision 4.5. of the F.D. Memo No. 200-F (Pen) dt.25.02.2009: The Quantum of pension/family pension available to the old pensioners/family pensioners. Clarification: (i) The additional Quantum of pension/family pension, on attaining the age of 80 years or above, would be admissible from the 1st day of the month in which his date of birth falls. For example, if a pensioner/family pensioner completes the age of 80 years on any date of the month of August, 2008, he/she will be entitled to additional pension/ family pension with effect from 01.08.2008. Those pensioners/family pensioners whose date of birth is 1st August, they will also be entitled to additional pension/family pension with effect from 01.08.08 on attaining the age of 80 years and above. (ii) Dearness Relief will also be admissible on the additional Quantum of pension available to the old pensioners, in accordance with the orders issued from time to time. Pension Sanctioning Authority should intimate the age of pensioners is case the same in not available in the Pension Payment Order. In case of Family Pensioners the authenticity of age is to be verified by the 287
Pension Sanctioning Authority on the basis of certificates of the School Final Examination or equivalent examination/Certificate from any Government doctor attached to Primary Health Centre/Block level Health Centre/Sub-Divisional level Hospitals/State level or District level Hospitals/Medical Colleges etc. and send the same to the Treasury or Bank form where Family Pension is paid to enable him/her to get the additional Family Pension receivable at the age of 80 years or above. Provision 4.1 (c) To avoid any confusion on this point it is to clarify that Dearness Relief upto AICPI (IW) average index 536 (base year 1982= 100) shall be 24% of the sum total of the basic pension/basic family pension and dearness pension to be calculated at the rate of 50% of the basic pension/basic family pension. For example : In case of a Pre-2006 pensioner/family pensioner (a) Existing basic pension/family pension
= Rs. 8000/-
(b) Dearness Pension @ 50% of basic pension
= Rs. 4000/-
(c) Dearness Relief @ 24% of (basic pension/basic family Pension + @ 50% of basic pension/basic family Pension), i.e. 24% of Rs. (8000+4000)
= Rs. 2880/-
(d) 40% weightage on basic pension/family pension
= Rs. 3200/Total = Rs.18080/(Rupees eighteen thousand and eighty only)
Pension to be fixed notionally with effect from 01.01.06 with actual effect from 01.04.08 is Rs.18080/References have also been received from various corners whether pensioners/family pensioners will get Medical Relief @ 300/- p.m. with effect from 01.04.2009 This is also clarified that the Pensioners/Family Pensioners will also get Medical Relief @ Rs.300/p.m. with effect from 01.04.2009 in terms of Memo. No.1691-F dt.23.02.2009. Pensioners retired on or after 01.01.2006 and willing to commute further on account of retrospective revision of pay on the recommendation of the Fifth Pay Commission, a time limit of 1 (one) year from the date of issue of this memo may be extended to them for further commutation. No medical examination is required in these cases. All Departments/Directorates are requested to bring the contents of these orders to the notice of all Head of Offices under them. All Pension Disbursing Authorities are also requested to prominently display these orders on their Notice Boards for the benefit of Pensioners/Family Pensioners. Sd/- S. K.

In case of Interim Allowance /Compassionate Allowance, Dearness Relief at the rates sanctioned by the Government shall also be calculated on such Allowances.
