Rajmohan Unnithan

Will the Minister of Education be pleased to state:-

(b) if so, the reasons therefor?

ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION
(SMT. ANNPURNA DEVI)

(a) & (b) : Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare issued an Office Memorandum dated 01.05.1987 whereby all Contributory Provident Fund (CPF) beneficiaries, who were in service as on 01.01.1986 would be deemed to have come over to the Pension Scheme, unless specifically opted to remain under the CPF Scheme. The employees of NVS had been given the benefits of CPF Scheme w.e.f. 01.04.1988. The matter to extend the benefit of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 to NVS employees who joined prior to 01.01.2004 has been considered by the Ministry from time to time in consultation with Ministry of Finance and Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare. However, it has not been agreed to, as it would be against the policy regime of the Government of India in terms of Department of Expenditure’s directives dated 16.03.2000. The New Pension Scheme (now National Pension System) (NPS), which was introduced for the Central Government employees w.e.f. 01.01.2004, was made applicable to the regular employees of NVS w.e.f. 01.04.2009. Those employees who had joined NVS on regular basis before 01.04.2009 were given an option to continue with the existing CPF Scheme or to join the NPS. Those employees of NVS who have opted for and are covered under the NPS, are entitled to the benefits envisaged under this Scheme. The staff of NVS are entitled to benefits of either the CPF Scheme or the NPS Scheme having regard to the option exercised by them.

Sir,
In continuation to this office letter of even number dated 06.12.2018 seeking willingness of the employees with regard to introduction of alternate annuity based pension, it is to clarify the following:-

1. Own share of employee in the existing CPF scheme shall remain intact. It will not be utilized for creating the corpus fund of the alternate pension plan.

2. However, the management share of the existing CPF scheme will be utilized to form the corpus fund for the proposed annuity based pension scheme.

3. Proposed basic pension is 50% of the basic pay at the time of retirement and there is no provision for DA thereon.

4. Provision for commutation of pension upto 1/3rd of the basic pension exists..Employee at the time of retirement can get the commutation value. It would be more or less equal to the management share. Besides 213rd of basic pension per month fixed at the time of retirement is payable.

5. The pension is payable till the pensioner is alive. There is no provision for family pension after death of the employee.

6. However, proposal for provisioning of DA and family pension is also being sent to the Ministry for consideration.

7. In case of death of the eligible employees during service, Provision for a lump sum insured amount payable to their dependents is proposed to be covered under group term Insurance Scheme.

The afore mentioned information may be widely circulated amongst the eligible employees to enable them to franchise their options/willingness for the proposed annuity based pension

This issues with the approval of Competent Authority.

Yours faithfully,
S/d,
(B.C. Panda)
Assistant Commissioner (Admn.)
