Subject:- Benefit of past service under Art.418 (b) of CSRs [Now Rule 26(2) of Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972]- procedure to be followed. Under Article 418 (b) of CSRs [now Rule 26 (2) of CCS (P) Rules, 1972] resignation of an appointment to take up, with proper permission, another appointment, whether permanent or temporary, service in which counts in full or in part, is not resignation from public service. A question has been raised whether in such cases a separate sanction should be issued indicating that resignation has been accepted under the above provisions, in order to enable the Audit/Administrative Officer to regulate the consequential benefits in the matter of pay fixation, carry forward of leave, pension etc. The matter has been considered in consultation with the Comptroller and Auditor General and it has been decided that in cases of the above type the order accepting the resignation should clearly indicate that the employee is resigning to join another appointment with proper permission and that the benefits under CSR 418 (b) [Now Rule 26(2) of Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972] will be admissible to him. The contents of the above order should also be noted in the service books of the individuals concerned under proper attestation. The issue of any separate sanction has not been considered necessary.
