Foreword
I am happy to release this booklet “A brief on Retirement
Benefits” to our Railway men on the eve of Pension Adalat.
It is experienced that considerable delay is taking place in the
finalization of settlement dues, despite their long and sincere service
to Railways. Probably it might be due to unawareness of latest
orders on the subject both at the Supervisory Level and at the lower
levels resulting in unrest among the staff and their families, coupled
with avoidable litigation.
Knowledge is power. I hope this “hand out” helps

everyone in their day to day working and deal the subject correctly
and promptly.
This booklet is being released on the occasion of Pension Adalat

(June 2015) for the benefit of the pensioners and staff, for which I
congratulate the following team of officers and staff.

पशन का संराशीकरण COMMUTATION OF PENSION: - This is a lump sum payment paid at
the option of the retiring employee. It is limited to 40% of basic pension (33 1/3rd of Basic Pension
prior to 01.01.1996). If a fraction of pension to be commuted results in fraction of rupee, such
fraction of rupee shall be ignored for commutation. The application for commutation should be made
within one year from the date of issue of retirement order [i.e., before next birth date].
→ Employees retiring on superannuation / voluntary retirement can commute up to 40% of the
pension, without medical examination.
→ In case of medical unfitness / compulsory retirement as a measure of penalty and for those who
have not applied for commutation within one year from the date of their retirement, this would
be payable after medical examination.
नोट Notes:-
[1] In cases where departmental or judicial proceedings are pending on the date of retirement, such
an employee shall be allowed provisional pension and the commutation of pension is permissible only
after finalization of departmental or judicial proceedings. In such cases, for the purpose of
commutation of pension without medical examination, the period of one year will reckon from the
date of orders issued on the conclusion of the proceedings. [Bd’s Lr No F [E] III/76/PN-1/7 dated
11.02.1981]
[2] Application for commutation of pension can be made even before retirement, to be submitted
along with pension papers for authorization along with PPO for the employees retiring on
superannuation pension only. Such applications should be made in prescribed formate at least three
months in advance…. [Bd’s Lr No F [E] III/-76-PN 1/24 Dt. 08.08.1983]
[3] Commutation has no effect on Family Pension. In case of demise of the employee before
completion of 15 years, the family gets family pension [i.e., Family Pension at enhanced rates or at
ordinary rates, as the case may be] as per entitlement without any deduction towards commuted
portion of pension. (Bd. Lr.No. F(E) III / 87 / PN / 1 / 7 dated 26.03.87).
[4] [A] A Railway servant making application for commutation may also nominate one or more
persons the right to receive the commuted value of pension. In case the applicant dies without
receiving the commuted value on or after the date on which commutation becomes absolute it will be
paid to the nominee. In the absence of nomination or the nomination does not subsist, the
commuted value is payable to the heirs as in the case of Death Gratuity and the family shall not be
insisted for production of legal heir certificate from the Court.
4 [B] In cases, where the nomination has not been made or the amount is not payable because the
Claimant is not a member of the family, the same has to be released on the basis of Legal Heir
Certificate [Bd’s Lr No F(E) III / 85 / PN / 1 / 15 Dt. 19.08.1985; RBE 247/1988 & RBE 162/1991]
5 [A] Generally it happens that a Railway Servant, on absorption in or under a corporation or
company or body, the orders of absorption are issued on a later date. In such case a Railway
Servant of the aforesaid category is absorbed from a date earlier than the date of orders. The
period of one year for the purpose of commutation of a part of pension without medical examination,
shall reckon from the date of orders and not from the date of actual retirement.
5 [B] Those who on absorption in or under a Corporation or Company or Body elect the alternative of
receiving the DCRG and lump sum in lieu of pension, will be subject to medical examination even
though they apply within one year of date of retirement/ absorption etc [Bd’ s Lr No F [E] 76-PN 1/24

Pension shall be calculated at 50% of the last Pay (pay in the Pay Band + Grade Pay) drawn by the
employee at the time of his/her retirement or 50% of the average emoluments, whichever is more.
The minimum pension granted to a Railway Servant is 3500/- per month w.e.f. 01.01.2006.

30% of Basic Pay = Rs. 6, 000
Total = Rs.26, 000
पशन संराशीकरण COMMUTATION OF PENSION: -

The lump-sum commutation value will be arrived at by multiplying the commuted portion of pension
by a factor relevant to age next birthday x 12.
फामुला Formula
40% of Basic Pension x 12 x commuted value as on age as on next birthday (i.e. on 61 years age)
40% of Basic Pension = Rs.4, 000 that is, 40% of 10, 000/-
Commutation value at the age of 61 years is Rs.8.194
Therefore commuted value shall be Rs.3, 93,912 [Rs.4000 X 12 X 8.194]

It is a lump sum payment granted to those retiring after completing at least 5 years of qualifying
service. It is calculated at the rate of half of the emoluments for each completed six monthly period

amount of Rs.10, 00, 000/-

DA @ 113% w.e.f 01.01.2015 = Rs.22,600

Qualifying service rendered = 34 years, but maximum to be reckoned is 33 years only
Hence, Retirement Gratuity eligible shall be 42, 600 X 16 ½ or 42, 600 X (33/2) = Rs.7, 02,900
In case of Running Staff, 30% of Basic Pay will be treated as Pay relating the Running Allowance.
Dearness Allowance as on the date of retirement shall be paid on the basic pay + the pay element of
the Running Allowance i.e., 30% of the Basic Pay.
Gratuity = Pay* + DA** x (@) Qualifying Service/ Two

पशन अदालत का आयोजन Conduct of Pension Adalats
The intention of conducting Pension Adalats is to examine the grievances of pensioners so as to redress
the same by taking on the spot decisions and to obviate the delays, if any, in the settlement of their dues. Such
a step would go a long way in instilling a sense of being cared for and attended to in the minds of pensioners
and thus dispel their feeling of neglect and isolation.
→ The Pension Adalats should be held on Railways/Production Units on 15th December each year or the first
working day after that date in case 15th is a holiday.
→ Wide and adequate publicity through print and visual media and other means like posters at prominent
places should be given in advance to enable the pensioners to send their cases in time for consideration in
such Adalats. This is necessary, as reference to various records is very often essential before a grievance
can be redressed. For this purpose, the following time frame should be adopted:
(a) Issue of notice by Railway through print and visual media and other By first week of
means about holding of Pension Adalats indicating date, venue, time of August every
Adalat and the name of Officer to whom the grievances have to be year.
submitted.
(b) Last date for submission of grievances by Pensioners, which should be 31st October
indicated in the Notification mentioned above. every year.
→ The representation of Pensioners to be acknowledged indicating the date, venue and time of Pension Adalat.
→ The Pension Adalats should be conducted at the level of very senior Officers i.e. GM/AGMs, CPOs, FA&CAOs
and DRMs/ADRMs besides other Officers of Personnel, Accounts and other Departments concerned. The
representatives of Bank/other Pension Disbursing Authorities should also be co-opted in the Pension Adalats.
→ All Officers dealing with pension viz. Senior Officers of Personnel and Accounts Department and Managers of
the pension-disbursing Banks of Zonal or Divisional Headquarters should be present with all the relevant
records so that decisions are not postponed for the sake of referring to the records.
→ The Officers present in the Pension Adalats should be able to take decisions on the spot to redress the
grievances. In this connection it is pertinent to note that such meetings are not to take up policy matters but
they should deal with specific grievances of the individual pensioner, when represented by him personally or
by a family member of the Pensioner.
→ Cases involving purely legal points e.g. succession etc. cannot be taken up in the Adalat.
→ It should be ensured that all the cases which are tenable are settled at the time of Pension Adalat itself, but
in cases where it is not possible to settle the same on the spot, it should be settled and finalised within a
period of three months from the date of holding the Pension Adalat.
→ In those cases of grievances, which are not tenable. Pensioners may be suitably advised in writing.
