Counting of temporary service under the State/Central Governments.

(5) Counting of temporary service under the State/Central Governments. - 1. The Government of India have been considering in consultation with the State Government, the question of sharing on a reciprocal basis, the proportionate pensionary liability in respect of those temporary employees who had rendered temporary service under the Central Government/State Governments prior to securing posts under the various State Governments/Central Government on their own volition in response to advertisements or circulars, including those by the State/Union Public Service Commissions and who are eventually confirmed in their new posts. It has since been decided in consultation with the State Governments that proportionate pensionary liability in respect of temporary service rendered under the Central Government and State Governments to the extent such service would have qualified for grant of pension under the rules of the respective Government, will be shared by the Governments concerned, on a service share basis, so that the Government servants are allowed the benefit of counting their qualifying service both under the Central Government and the State Governments for grant of pension by the Government from where they eventually retire. The gratuity, if any, received by the Government employee of temporary service under the Central or State Governments will, however, have to be refunded by him to the Government concerned. 2. The Government servants claiming the benefit of combined service in terms of the above decision are likely to fall into one of the following categories :- (1) Those who having been retrenched from the service of Central/State Governments secured on their own employment under State/Central Governments either with or without interruption between the date of retrenchment and date of new appointment; 1/30/2019 CHAPTER http://persmin.nic.in/pension/rules/pencomp3.htm#Commencement%20of%20qualifying%20service 8/54 (2) Those who while holding temporary posts under Central/State Governments apply for posts under State/Central Governments through proper channel with proper permission of the administrative authority concerned; (3) Those who while holding temporary posts under Central/State Governments apply for posts under State/Central Governments direct without the permission of the administrative authority concerned and resign their previous posts to join the new appointments under State/Central Governments. The benefit may be allowed to the Government servants in categories (1) and (2) above. Where an employee in category (2) is required for administrative reasons, for satisfying a technical requirement, to tender resignation from the temporary post held by him before joining the new appointment, a certificate to the effect that such resignation had been tendered for administrative reasons and/or to satisfy a technical requirement, to join, with proper permission, the new posts, may be issued by the authority accepting the resignation. A record of this certificate may also be made in his service book under proper attestation to enable him to get this benefit at the time of retirement. Government servant in Category (3) will obviously, not be entitled to count their previous service for pension. 3. The above arrangement will not apply to the employees of the Governments of Jammu and Kashmir and Nagaland. 4. These orders come into force with effect from the date of issue and cases of all such Government servants retiring on this date and thereafter will be regulated accordingly.

(A)/79, dated the 31st March, 1982, addressed to all State Governments except Jammu and Kashmir and Nagaland.] NOTE. - Sharing of pension liability between Central and State Governments has since been dispensed with from 1-4- 1987. .
