Counting of service under State Governments - sharing of pension liability dispensed with.

(7) Counting of service under State Governments - sharing of pension liability dispensed with. - The orders contained in this Department's Letter No. 3 (20)/Pen. (A)/79, dated 31-3-1982 (Decision (6) above) and Ministry of Finance O.M. No. 3 (38) E. V (A)/74, dated 30-6-1976 lay down the procedure for counting of the service rendered by a Central Government employee in State Governments. This reciprocal arrangement is, however, not applicable in the case of certain specified State Governments. 2. A doubt has been expressed in the above context about the applicability of the orders contained in Ministry of Finance O.M. No. 14(5)/86/TA/1029, dated 9-10-1986 which dispenses with the sharing of pension and leave salary liability between Central and State Governments. The matter has been considered in consultation with the Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure), Controller-General of Accounts. It is clarified that according to the provisions of Part-A (Introductory) of Appendix 5 to Government Accounting Rules, 1990 the liability for pension including gratuity should be borne in full by the Central/State Governments to which the Government servant permanently belongs at the time or retirement. These provisions do not exempt any State Government from the applicability of the reciprocal arrangement which dispenses with sharing of pension liability. However, in the matter of processing proposals for counting of service rendered by an employee in the State Government, the procedure laid down in O.M., dated 31-3-1982 (Decision (6) above) and 30-6-1976 (Decision (7) above) would continue to be followed. 1/30/2019 CHAPTER http://persmin.nic.in/pension/rules/pencomp3.htm#Commencement%20of%20qualifying%20service 10/54 3.
