The undersigned is directed to say that in accordance with the General Provident Fund (Central Services), Rules, 1960, the amount of subscription to the GPF in respect of a subscriber, shall not be less than 6% of the emoluments and not more than total emoluments of the subscriber. Rules 7, 8 & 10 of the General Provident Fund (Central Services) Rules, 1960 were amended vide Notification No. G.S.R. 96 dated 15.06.2022. As per the said Notification dated 15.06.2022, the sum of the monthly subscription by a subscriber under the GPF during a financial year together with the amount of arrear subscriptions deposited in that financial year shall not exceed the threshold limit (at present Rupees Five Lakh) referred to in sub clause (i) of clause (c) of the Explanation below sub rule (2) of the rule 9D of the Income Tax Rules, 1962 [as inserted vide Notification No. G.S.R. 604 (E) dated 31.08.2021 of Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue (Central Board of Direct Taxes)].

2. Further, instructions have been issued vide this Department’s OM No 3/6/2021-P&PW (F) dated 11.10.2022 for strict implementation of the above amended provisions of the General Provident Fund (Central Services), Rules, 1960.

3. References have been received in this Department seeking advice as to how the GPF subscription is to be regulated in the case of those Government servants in which cases the total subscription of GPF in the current financial year (i.e 2022-23) has already exceeded the limit of Rupees Five Lakh or is likely to exceed this limit even with the minimum subscription of 6% of emoluments prescribed under General Provident Fund (Central Services), Rules, 1960.

4. The amendment Notification limiting the maximum annual GPF subscription was issued on 15.06.2022. A situation of annual total subscription exceeding the limit of Rupees Five Lakh in the current financial year would not have arisen if appropriate steps were taken immediately after the issue of the above amendment notification. However, keeping in view the difficulties being faced by the Ministries/ Departments, the matter has been examined and the following further instructions are issued in this regard:

• (a) In the case of those Government servants, whose GPF subscription during the current financial year (i.e. 2022-23) has already exceeded the threshold limit of Rs. 5 lakhs, no further deduction of GPF subscription may be made from their salary in the current financial year. In those cases, the provision regarding minimum monthly subscription of 6% of the emoluments shall be deemed to have been relaxed.
• (b) In the case of those Government servants, whose GPF subscription during the current financial year (i.e. 2022-23) has not yet reached/exceeded the threshold limit of Rs. 5 lakh, further deductions towards GPF subscriptions during the current financial year may be phased out in such a manner that the total subscription during the current financial year does not exceed Rs. 5 lakh. In cases where the total contribution is likely to exceed Rs. 5 lakh even with minimum monthly subscription of 6% of the emoluments, deduction of GPF subscription from the salary may be stopped as soon as the total contribution in the current financial year reaches Rs. 5 lakh. In such cases also, the provision regarding minimum monthly subscription of 6% of the emoluments shall be deemed to have been relaxed.

5. All Ministries/Departments are requested to bring the above instructions to the notice of the all concerned for strict compliance.

In such cases, responsibility shall be fixed and disciplinary action shall be taken against the Government servant or servants who are found responsible for the delay on account of administrative lapses.

2. Although as per Rule 62 of CCS(Pension) Rules, 2021, payment of provisional pension shall not continue beyond the period of six months from the date of retirement of the Government servant, the Rule further provides that the Accounts Officer shall treat the provisional pension as final and issue pension payment order immediately on the expiry of the period of six months, if the final amount of pension and gratuity have not been determined by the Head of Office in consultation with the Accounts Officer within the aforesaid period of six months.

3. In view of the provisions of Rule 62 of CCS (Pension) Rules, 2021 (earlier Rule 64 of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972), the Accounts Officer has to treat the provisional pension as final and issue pension payment order immediately on the expiry of the period of six months provided in the Rule, if the final amount of pension and gratuity have not been determined by the Head of Office in consultation with the Accounts Officer within the said period. Therefore, there should not be a situation where regular pension is not authorized by the Accounts Officer to a retired Government servant on expiry of the period of six months.

4. All Ministries/Departments and their Account Officers are advised to strictly comply with the provisions of Rule 62 of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 2021.

FOREWORD

Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare has been leveraging technology year after year, to make the system seamless and more and more convenient for the elderly Pensioners, while taking other steps for bringing about changes in pension policy towards providing a life of dignity for them and their dependents. Some of the major initiatives/support measures taken in this regard include providing Doorstep Service for submission of Digital Life Certificate through Postal Department besides the facility to submit life certificate online through Jeevan Pramaan Portal. This is considered to be a step towards making the Pensioners “Atamnirbhar” as the DLC can now be given from the comfort of one’s home also.

Over the past few years, this Department has also taken a number of decisions to liberalize and simplify the rules and procedures to make the life of our honored pensioners and their dependents simpler and dignified. Rules have been relaxed for divorced daughters to receive Family Pension and now a daughter is entitled to receive the Family Pension even if the divorce has not finally taken place but the divorce petition had been filed by her during the lifetime of her deceased parent employee/ pensioner. Earlier Rule provided for payment of Family Pension to a divorced daughter only if the divorce had taken place during the lifetime of deceased parent pensioner or his spouse. The new Rule not only brings ease to the life of pension receiving individuals but also ensures respectable and equitable rights for the divorced daughters in society. Rule 64 of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972, was relaxed in order to ensure immediate provisional sanction of pensionary benefits amid the unprecedented situation of COVID-19, wherever an employee is likely to retire before finalization of his dues or is unable to submit the pension claim form. . The Government has very recently made amendment of income criteria for grant of family pension to children/siblings suffering from a mental or physical disability.

While the DOPPW has been striving to bring about, from time to time, necessary changes, it is all the more important to keep the pensioners aware of various developments in the pension administration system. Keeping this in view the Department has now decided to bring about Booklet titled “Know Your Retirement Benefits”, which I am sure, will be helpful in creating awareness amongst pensioners. It will also serve as a guide for officers and dealing staff dealing with pension-related matters in Ministries/ Department/ Organisation.

I am happy and proud to release this Booklet of Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare which will be a help in determining the retirement benefits entitlements of Pensioners and their dependents.
