(6) Special provision in the case of these State Government servants appointed to Central Service Group 'A'. - According to the existing instructions, the benefit of counting of pension the continuous temporary service under the State Government immediately preceding the service under the Central Government will not be allowed to those who secure jobs to the Centre on their own volition in response to advertisements or circulars including those by UPSC. 1/30/2019 CHAPTER http://persmin.nic.in/pension/rules/pencomp3.htm#Commencement%20of%20qualifying%20service 9/54 2. It has been observed in this connection that the position of All India Service officers under the relevant rules is different. If State Government employees are successful in the competitive examinations and are appointed to Indian Administrative Service/Indian Police Service/Indian Forest Service, they get the benefit of their past service for pension under Rule 8 (2) of the All India Services (Death-cum-Retirement Benefits) Rules, 1958. In case such an officer allotted to the cadre of a State different to the one in which temporary service has been rendered, such service counts subject to the concurrence of the concerned State Government. As against this, persons appointed to Central Service Group `A' like IA and AS, IRS, etc., do not get the benefit of their past temporary service rendered in a State for pension. This position is discriminatory. It has been decided that the service rendered by temporary State Government servants who are appointed to Central Service Group `A' as a result of competitive examination held by UPSC, will also count towards pension on the lines of the concessions admissible in the case of All India Service officers as explained above. *** 3.
