W.e.f 1.1.2006, Pension is calculated with reference to average emoluments namely, the average of the basic pay drawn during the last 10 months of the service or last basic pay drawn whichever is beneficial. Full pension with 10/20 years of qualifying service is 50% of the average emoluments or last basic pay drawn whichever is beneficial. Before 1.1.2006, for qualifying service of less than 33 years, amount of pension was proportionate to the actual qualifying service broken into completed half-year periods. For example, if total qualifying service is 30 years and 4 months (i.e. 61 half-year periods), pension will be calculated as under:-
Pension amount = R/2(X)61/66
Minimum pension presently is Rs. 3500/- per month. Maximum limit on pension is 50% of the highest pay in the Government of India (presently Rs. 45,000/-) per month. Pension is payable up to and including the date of death.
