Government dues' does not include dues while on deputation. -

(2) 'Government dues' does not include dues while on deputation. - The term `Government dues' referred to covers only the dues payable to the Government and does not include dues while on deputation. In other words, the sum due from the officer to an autonomous organization is not `Government dues' and so cannot be recovered out of death-cumretirement gratuity payable by the Government to the officer, except where the Government servant has given his consent in writing to such a recovery being made from his gratuity, which has become payable to him.
