      Appeals of Punjab Government pending before Supreme Court are reportedly 47 or so. But the affected pensioners, mostly 75 years and still older, who are suffering are in thousands of numbers and are looking at Supreme Court for earliest action.

      Kindly consider writing letters to the editors highlighting that delay by Supreme Court may lead to some pensioners embracing death before they can get the benefit which they consider has already accrued.

      The cases are so simple in nature, as a pensioner is a pensioner, whether of Federal or Provincial government. Appeals from Federal Government, already rejected by Supreme Cout, are a good basis for dealing with appeals from Punjab government.

        You must have read the latest news that Supreme Court has dismissed the cases of Punjab government through short order dated 31.3.2014.

        It depends if Punjab government goes into Review by Supreme Court again.

        Otherwise, Punjab government can any time now issue orders that the benefit of increase on commuted part of pension may also be allowed from 2001 onwards with effect from date of restoration.

        Wishing all pensioners the best of luck

  6. For Flt.Lt. Muhammad Banaras, his query of 4 Jan 2014 refers.

    Benefit of restoration of commuted pension was withdrawn from 1.12.2001. So, sorry, you having retired much after that, are not eligibiel for restoration benefit.

    Only those pensioners who retired before opting the 2001 pay scales cum pension scheme, are to get some benefit along with restoration as per latest government orders issued after Supreme Court upheld High Court / Tribunal orders [that upon restoration, the increases on commuted part (not allowed under 2001 orders) should also be given from the date of restoration.]

      Sorry, but restoration benefit is not admissible to those pensioners who retired on 1.12.2001 and thereafter. They had accepted the 2001 payscales cum pension scheme which withdrew the restoration benefit.

    This notification confirms that all those pensioners who retired BEFORE 1.12.2001 and got their pension commuted, are now entitled not only to restoration of pension on expiry of the years (for which pension was commuted), but also now they are entitled to all increases in pension (not allowed from 1.12.2001) on commuted part. The increases would be admissible from the date of restoration,, and no arrears are admissible for period before restoration.

  9. Those pensioners, who retired BEFORE 1.12.2001, are entitled to get the commuted part of pension restored AFTER the period expires for which commuted value was received.

    Upon restoration, all those increases will also be admissible which were denied from 1.12.2001 till date of restoration (however no arrears before the restoration date).

        I trust that your mother has started receiving family pension after expiry of your father (the date is apparently wrong).

        Pension rules do not provide for any educational support to children of pensioner.

        You may approach the Benevolunt Fund officials for such a support, if their rules allow it.

        Yes, having retired before 1.12.2001, restoration of commuted part is admissible to you.

        But you have to wait till expiry of years (rounded off) for which you received commuted value of the pension commuted.

        If you let me know your date of birth, I may give my opiniion as to when the restoration is / was due.

        The benefit of restoration was withdrawn from 1.12.2001. Since you retired after 30.11.2001, you are not entitled for restoration benefit.

  12. Dear Shumaila Kamal

    Commutation is restored on the basis of rate of commutation any pensioner earns at the time of retirement. 75 years condition is for those pensioners who retired on 60 years of age.

    Reply
  13. Correct legal position. There is a misunderstanding that amount of every 75 years old pensioner would be doubled. This is not correct.

    True position is that commuted part of pension is restored after expiry for that number of years for which the pension was surrendered. Pensioners retiring at 60 yeras surrender the commuted part for 15 years, so they would get it restored after 15 years (at 75 years age). Persons retiring before 60 years of age generally surrender commuted part for more than 15 years. So they will get it restored after expiry of more than 15 years (for the rounded off years for which pension was surrendered / commuted).

    Increases on commuted part of pension were not allowed by government from 1.12.2001. Serivce Trubnal and Courts have upheld that upon restoration, those increases should also be given, with financial effect from date of restoration.

    The restoration benefit has been discontinued for pensioners retiring from 1.12.2001 onwards.

    Any one needing more information, or answer to a specific question, may approach me at [email protected]. I shall be glad to render all possible assistance.

      1. Dear Shakil, and all others who retired on 1.12.2001 and later dates.

        The benefit of restoration of commuted part of pension was discontinued by government for persons retiring 1.12.2001 onwards.

        Personally I think that step can be challenged by affected persons. Government can change such major terms of service only in respect of those employees who JOIN on or after 1.12.2001, and not for those who were already in service.

        Some good service lawyer could take this point, which has not so far been discussed in any Service Tribunal or Court to my knoweldge.

      1. Please let me know your date of birth.

        Normally, if your age was 50 after retirement, then you are entitled to the benefit of pension restoration on expiry of 23 years.

        But along with restoration, you would be entitled to all those increases on commuted part of pension, which have not been allowed from 1.12.2001 onwards.

    I have a question up there asking for some clarification about gratuity amount of a deceased government servant whose payment is not being made to widow of the deceased, kindly update me in this context with ruling/supporting docs, I shall be highly thankful to my sister.

  19. Dear Sister

    Hope you would be fine, many thanks for educating all of us. I have one very important advice from your kind end that my close relative died after 06 months of his retirement, he was medically boarded out in the age of 52 years. His gratuity amount was deposited with NBP, now the bank is not giving his gratuity amount to his widow despite the fact that his widow have been granted all the pension and other amounts payable to her under the law but the bank is not giving gratuity amount to the widow. They have demanded ‘Succession certificate’ to be taken from court of law, I could not understand why a poor widow is not being gratuity which is her just right as this is not amount of any land/property owned by his deceased husband, in spite it is his hard earned amount which was given to him for his government service, sister can you help me with provision of necessary rulings in this context to claim this amount without the passage of court as it is very lengthy, cumbersome and a widow can not afford it. Need your kind help and advice as always.

    My regards.

    Reply
    1. If the pension has been given to the widow, then the pension and gratuity sanctioning Accounts Office must write to the bank that gratuity should be also given to the widow. Without this clear authority from Accounts Office, bank may continue to insist on production of succession certificate.

      Send me detailed email if further guidance is desired.

    1. at the time of retirement , a gross pension is granted to person. he has option either get whole amount of pension or he can get commuted portion of pension for 15 years and then will get a lump sum amount and rest of the portion as monthly pension. on completion of 15 years the commuted portion is restored and become part of pension . previously practice was , u of time r commuted portion didnot increase with the passage, Now by this notification u will get restored amount as same amount which u r getting amountly pension.

      say at time of retirement Rs 1000pm gross pension sanctioned.

      u communted Rs 500 pm for 15 years abd get a lump sum amount. and Rs 500 net pension monthly

      in these 15 years ur net pension increased as per govt increase granted years to Rs 1200pm

      on completion of 15 years ur communted portion is restored as Rs 500pm( in past before this notification) now pension will b Rs 1200+500=Rs 1700.

      after this notification wef 1/7/2013 no arrears

      Rs 1200 + Rs 1200=Rs 2400. which portion u commuted is also increased at govt side and now it is returned back yo u.
