OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub: Licence Fee to be recovered from the allottee of the Government accommodation, who own house(s) at the place of his duties – Reg.

The undersigned is directed to refer to this Directorate’s OM No. 12035/11/99-Pol.II, dated 24.7.2003 (copy enclosed) on the above mentioned subject and to say that as per the provisions of SR – 317-B-3(2) of the Allotment of Government Residences (General Pool in Delhi) Rules, 1963, an allottee, owning a house at the time of allotment either in his own name or in the name of any members of his family at the place of posting or in an adjoining municipality, shall notify the fact to the Directorate of Estates within a period of one month from the date of the house is let out.

2. However, it is noticed from the records received from concerned administrative divisions of Ministries/Departments that declaration of house owning is received only at the time of application for allotment of accommodation, whereas, the same under the provisions SR-317-B-3(3) received is very negligible as compared to allotment made. In order to streamline the already laid down procedure, it is requested that the administrative authority of the concerned Ministries/Departments, etc. to ensure that the provisions Sr-317-B-3(2) as well as 3(3) are followed strictly. In this regard, it is pertinent to mention here that from 1.3.2015 onwards, concerned Ministries/Departments of the applicant for GPRA are advised to ensure that the particulars/details furnished by the applicant in the online DE-2 Form and the Acceptance Form are true and correct. It is thus requested now that the administrative authority of the concerned Ministries/Departments should ensure that the entries made by the applicant in DE-2 Form as well as the Acceptance Form with regard to owning of house, at the time of forwarding the same to this Directorate is as per the latest Immovable Property Return (IPR) filed by the applicant.

3. Further, they should also instruct all allottees in their Ministry/Department to intimate the Directorate of Estates regarding rental income, if any, from the house owned at the time of allotment/acquired after the allotment of Govt. accommodation either in his own name or in the name of any members of his family at the place of posting or in an adjoining municipality, and whenever any change in rental income, which affect the rate of prescribed licence fee as per OM No. 12035/11/99-Pol.II, dated 24.7.2003, so as to levy the prescribed rate of licence fee in this regard, to avoid any loss to Govt. exchequer. In case the details of rental income furnished by any allottee is found false at any later stage, the licence fee of the particular accommodation will be enhanced to the maximum as per OM dated 24.7.2003 w.e.f the date of increase, by the Directorate of Estates suo motu.

Encl: as above.

Retention of Departmental Pool Accommodation on posting to Customs Preventive Stations in Remote/Border Areas – Relaxation of existing instructions – OM dated 27.08.2008

F.No.213/42/2008-Ad.VIII(EC)

Government of India
Ministry of Finance
Department of Revenue
Central Board of Excise & Customs

New Delhi, 27th August, 2008

To
All Chief Commissioners/ Director Generals under CBEC

Subject: Retention of Departmental Pool Accommodation on Transfer from one station to another – Relaxation of existing instructions – regarding

Sir/Madam,

I am directed to mention that the Board has received references from various field formations requesting for relaxation of existing instructions for retention of departmental pool accommodation in certain specific situations. All such requests were considered by the Board in its meeting held on 23.07.2008. Alter detailed deliberations, the following decisions were taken:

Retention of Departmental Accommodation on posting to Customs Preventive Stations in Remote/Border Areas:

2. A number of Customs Preventive Stations are located in remote/border areas, Which do not have educational/ health/ other civic amenities, due to which officers posted to these stations are not in a position to shift their families. Further, the duties to be performed by officers in such stations are of arduous nature involving extensive road and sea patrolling, besides host of other anti – smuggling activities. In such a situation, if these officers are required to vacate their departmental accommodation in their earlier place of posting, it puts them to serious inconvenience.

3. The Board had earlier considered this matter and issued comprehensive instructions vide letter F.No.213/1/96-Ad.VIII(EC) dated 19.01.1996 (copy enclosed), to the effect that whenever officers/ staff are posted to Customs Preventive Stations in remote/ border areas, they shall he allowed to retain their departmental accommodation in their previous place of posting. It is hereby reiterated that these instructions shall continue to remain valid and shall be applicable all over the country. These instructions dated 19.01.1996 shall not be treated as superseded by the subsequent instructions vide F.No. 213/7/2006- Ad. VIII(EC) dated 05.02.2007. The officers posted to Customs Preventive Stations in remote/ border areas shall he entitled to retain their departmental pool accommodation in their earlier place of posting on payment of normal license fees. The Concerned Cheif Commissioners, Directors General shall have the powers to allow such retention of accommodation to the officers/ staff under their jurisdiction.

Relaxation of instructions for retention of Departmental Accommodation in case surplus Quarters are available: 

4. The Board noted that in a number of locations, the number of quarter available is much more them the demand for such quarters from the officers/staffs posted in such locations. As a result, a number of quarters remain unoccupied, which results not only in loss of revenue to the Government in the form of license fees, be also in lack or proper maintenance of the quarters as also their safety/security. These problems could be avoided if these surplus quarters could be allotted to the officers posted out of the stations for use by their families staying behind. This would also be an important staff welfare measure.

5. Accordingly, it has been decided that wherever surplus quarters arc available for which there are no takers, the same could be allotted to officers/ staff posted out of the station, for use by their families staying behind, on payment of normal license fees, subject to the condition that such allotment shall be made for one year at a time and during the annual review thereof, if any locally posted officer/ staff ever interest in getting such quarters, he shall get preference. The concerned Chief Commissioners/ Directors General shall have the powers to allow such allotment retention of accommodation to the officers/ staff under their jurisdiction.

6. The above instructions may kindly be brought to the notice of all conditions for information and necessary action.

Steps taken to streamline and strengthen pension sanctioning and payment system – DOP&PW launched Bhavishya, an online tracking system for pension sanction and payment

A number of steps have been taken in the recent years to streamline and strengthen the pension sanctioning and payment system. Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare launched Bhavishya – an online tracking system for pension sanction and payment. By keeping track of the progress as well as close monitoring of each pension case, it introduces transparency and accountability into the system thereby plugging delays. This system is at present being successfully implemented in the main Secretariat of 93 Ministries/Departments including 791 Attached Offices.

The following measures have been taken by various departments/ agencies to strengthen the redressal system in respect of pension related grievances:

1. Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare (DoPPW) w.r.t. Central Government Civil Pensioners:

• CPENGRAMS is a Centralized Web-enabled Pension Grievance Redress and Monitoring System which was started in 2007 for speedy redressal and effective monitoring of pension related grievances of pensioners.

2. Central Pension Accounting Office (CPAO) w.r.t. central government civil pensioners:

Under Digital India Campaign, CPAO took two important steps towards empowerment of central government civil pensioners which are as follows:-

This has led to faster processing of payment of pension and clerical errors have been reduced.
• Web Responsive Pensioners’ Service (WRPS) is an IT initiative of CPAO for the pensioners which provides various services including pension payment information for last 24 months, online pension process tracking & online grievance registration and redressal with facility to track the status of grievance.

3. Controller General of Defence Accounts (CGDA) w.r.t. Defence Pensioners:

• A dedicated Call centre in PCDA(P), Allahabad has been established with Toll free number 1800-180-5325 where ex-servicemen can get their queries resolved over the phone.
• Pension enquiry system named Project “Suvigya” is available on the Internet which enables pensioner to check their entitlements.
• In order to expedite redressal of grievance of Defence Pensioners, DPDOs hold Defence Pension Adalats on last working day of each month.
• Implementation of digitally signed e-PPOs for all categories of Pensioners which eliminates the time taken for dispatch and possibility of loss in transit.

4. Department of Telecommunication w.r.t Telecom Pensioners:

• Toll Free Number (18004250089) is available during working hours for lodging grievances.
• Quarterly Pension Adalat is conducted for all Telecom pensioners in Kerala and the same is publicized widely to reach all Telecom pensioners.
• Grievances raised in CPGRAMS Portal are addressed within 30 days.

5. Department of Posts w.r.t Postal pensioners:

• Pension disbursement has been automated which obviates the possibility of any grievances.
• The pensioners may approach at Post Office level, Division/Regional Office/PMG/CPMG level and Postal Directorate level to solve their problems.
• Pension Adalats are also being organized time to time at circle/state level for redressal of grievances of pensioners.

6. Ministry of Rural Development w.r.t. National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP):

• National Social Assistance Programme(NSAP) is a social welfare/ social security scheme, implemented in rural as well as urban areas of the Country. The schemes of NSAP are only applicable to the persons belonging to Below Poverty Line(BPL) households. The identification of beneficiaries, sanction and disbursement of pensions are made by the States/UTs. The NSAP Guidelines provides for setting up of grievance redressal system at the Gram / Intermediate Panchayat / District / Municipality levels, and designate an officer of appropriate seniority to whom the grievances can be addressed along with the timelines for dealing with grievances under intimation to the complainant. Furthermore, Guidelines also have the provision for periodically Social Audits. In addition, for effective implementation of NSAP, information technology interface has been strengthened. With this initiative, list of the beneficiaries has been completely digitized and against over 15 crore transactions through Direct Benefit Transfer(DBT) mode recorded in Financial Year 2017-18, during 2018-19, 21.27 crore DBT transactions have been reported by the States/ Union Territories.

Accordingly, Table 24 and Table 25 of Concordance Table for 7th pay commission pension fixation on the basis of notional pay have been revised.  The online tool has taken in account these changes.

GConnect Pension Calculator as per Department of Pension OM dated 06.07.2017 along with amendments made in Table 51 and 52 as per OM dated 13.09.2017.

To facilitate Pre-2016 Pensioners GConnect has come up with an online tool to calculate revised Pension on the basis of Notional Pay.

Revision of Pension based on notional pay was allowed vide Department of Pension Office Memorandum No.38/37/2016-P&PW(A) dated 12.05.2017, after Govt accepted Pension Committee formed to explore the possibilites of granting revision of pension as per Option 1 of 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations as for as pre-2016 pensioners are concerned.

Subsequently Department of Pension issued OM F.No.38/37/2016-P&PW(A) dated 06.07.2017, by providing official concordance tables for revising the pre-2016 pension as per notional pay calculated based on basic pay of pensioners on the date of retirement.

Online tool prepared by GConnect for calculating revised pension of pre-2016 pensioners is based on these concordance tables. The amendments made by the Govt subsequently in the concordance Tables have also been taken in to account.

Background of Revision of Pension on the basis of Notional Pay:

7th Central Pay Commission recommended two methods for revision of pension of pre-2016 pensioners and also recommended that pensioners will have to be given the option of choosing one of the methods of revision which ever is beneficial to them.

Option 1 for revision of Pension was based on number of increments drawn by the Pension in the pay at the time of retirement Pay.

Option 2 is the method of revision of pension by applying a fitment factor on the Pension drawn by the the pensioner as on 31.12.2015.

Out of these two options, Option 1 for revision of Pension was found to be more beneficial for many of the Pre-2016 Pensioners.

However, while approving the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission, Govt decided that Pre-2016 pensioners would be entitled to only the revision as per option 2 recommended by the 7th CPC, viz., the revision of pension by multiplying a fitment factor of 2.57 with the Pension drawn by the the pensioner as on 31.12.2015.

Subsequently, considering representations made by various pension associations, Govt formed a committee to study the feasibility of the implementing first option recommended by 7th CPC.

Later, based on the recommendations of this pension committee, Govt decided that the revised pension / family pension w.e.f 01.01.2016 in respect of all Central civil pensioners and family pensioners, including CAPF’s, who retired / died prior to 01.01.2016, may be revised by notionally fixing their pay in the pay matrix recommended by the 7th CPC in the level corresponding to the pay in the pay scale / pay band and grade pay at which they retired / died. It was also decided by the Govt that notional pay fixation under each intervening Pay Commission based on the Formula for revision of pay will be taken in to account for determining the notional pay of the Pensioner in the 7th Pay Commission Pay Matrix.

After the order for revision of Pension based on notional pay was issued, Govt released the official concordance tables from Table 1 to Table 58 for easily calculating the notinal pay of the pensioner using the basic pay drawn by him / her at the time of retirement.

Sir,

The undersigned is directed to state that references have been received seeking clarification as to whether Special Family Pension (SFP)/Liberalised Family Pension (LFP) is admissible on death of a military pensioner re-employed in military service, and his death is attributable to military service.

2. Prior to 17.01.2013, the NOKs of Armed Force Pensioner who got re-employed in Civil Department/PSUs/Autonomous bodies/Local Fund of Central/State Governments after getting retired from military service were authorized to draw Ordinary Family Pension (OFP) either from military side or from civil side whichever was beneficial to them in terms of Gol, MoD letter No. 10(6)/92/D(Pens/Sers) dated 28.09.1992 and regulation 78 of Pension Regulation Part-I, 2008. Subsequently, vide GoI, MoD letter No. 01(05)/2010-D(Pen/Policy) dated 17.01.2013, two family pensions were allowed w.e.f. 24.09.2012 in the event of death of a re-employed military pensioner.

3. It was further clarified that dual family pension is admissible irrespective of the fact whether the re-employment was in civil or military department vide GoI, MoD letter No. 10(17)/2012-D(Pen/Pol) dated 21.03.2013. Hence, the family pensioners of military personnel re-employed in military e.g. Territorial Army/Defence Security Corps (TA/DSC) are also covered in the ambit of the Gol, MoD letter No. 01(05)/2010-D(Pen/Policy) dated 17.01.2013 for grant of dual family pension w.e.f. 24.09.2012. However, the admissibility of dual family pension was restricted to ordinary family pension (OFP).

4. Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare vide their OM No. 1/3/2016-P&PW(F) dated 24.01.2019 has clarified that the provisions of two family pensions, one in respect of military/civil service and the other for civil service after re-employment, as available in terms of CCS(Pension) Rules, is also applicable under CCS(EOP) Rules.

5. The matter regarding extending the admissibility of Special Family Pension (SFP) /Liberalised Family Pension (LFP) in cases of death attributable to military service in terms of Gol, MoD letter No. 1(2)/97/D(Pen-C) dated 31.01.2001 in the case a of dual family pension has been examined. It has been decided that Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare OM No. 1/3/2016-P&PW(F) dated 24.01.2019 would apply mutatis-mutandis to military/civil pensioners re-employed in military service and it is clarified that the provision of two family pensions, one in respect of military/civil service and Special Family Pension (SFP)/Liberalised Family Pension (LFP) for re-employed military service is also applicable. Special Family Pension (SFP)/Liberalised Family Pension (LFP) if any, would be admissible in terms of GoI,

MoD letter No. 1(2)/97/D(Pen-C) dated 31.01.2001 on death of a pensioner who was re-employed in military service and if his death is attributable to military service, in addition to Ordinary Family Pension in respect of the previous military/civil service.

6. Where, however, on death of the re-employed ex-serviceman if the family is eligible for Special Family Pension (SFP)/Liberalised Family Pension (LFP) for first service, family pension for second spell of service would be Ordinary Family Pension.

7. Special Family Pension (SFP)/Liberalised Family Pension (LFP) shall be granted only in respect of one service and in no case, Special Family Pension (SFP)/Liberalised Family Pension (LFP) will be granted for both the services.

8. The financial benefits in the past cases will accrue with effect from 24.09.2012.

9. Pension Regulation of the three Services shall be amended in due course.

10. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Division of this Ministry vide their ID No. 10(02)/2017/FIN/PEN dated 21.06.2019.
