Pension Matters
The pensionary benefits in respect of the West Bengal Govt. Employees who retire after 01.01.2006 shall be determined as follows:
- Last Pay
- Qualifying Service
- Pension
- Additional Pension
- Family Pension
- Additional Family Pension
- Retiring Gratuity/ Death Gratuity
- Commutation of Pension
Last Pay: Basic Pay + Grade Pay
Qualifying Service Calculation: Date of Superannuation – Date of appointment – Period of E.L – Period of suspension. Below 3 months of service will not be counted. Three or more than three months of service will be counted as next 6 months qualifying service.
Illustration: A qualifying service of 23 years 7 months 11 days calculated above will be taken as 23 years 6 months. Similarly 23 years 9 months will be taken as 24 years.
Pension Calculation:-
- Minimum qualifying service for eligibility in pension is 10 years.
- Full Pension is applicable for qualifying service of 20 years or more.
- For qualifying service between 10 and 20 years, proportionate reduction in pension is applicable.
- Full pension = 50% of Last Pay.
- Maximum ceiling of pension = Rs. 35,000/-
- Minimum amount of pension = Rs. 3,300/-
Illustration:-
- For a service period of 33 years and last pay of Rs. 30,000/-, pension will be Rs. 15,000/-.
- 20 years of service period and last pay Rs. 30,000/-, pension will be Rs. 15,000/-
- 15 years of service period and last pay Rs. 30,000/-, pension will be Rs. 15000*15/20 = Rs. 11250/-
- 8 years of service period and last pay Rs. 30,000/-, pension will be Rs. NIL.
Additional Pension
The amount of pension increases with the increase of age of the pensioner by the following:
| Age of Pensioner | Additional Quantum of Pension |
|---|---|
| From 80 years to 85 years | 20% of the basic pension |
| From 85 years to 90 years | 30% of the basic pension |
| From 90 years to 95 years | 40% of the basic pension |
| From 95 years to 100 years | 50% of the basic pension |

| From 95 years to 100 years | 50% of the basic pension |
| 100 years or more | 100% of the basic pension |
Retiring Gratuity/ Death Gratuity
- Retiring gratuity is 16½ times the last pay.
- Death gratuity is applicable if the employee dies while in service.
- Death gratuity is 33 times the last pay.
- Maximum amount of retiring gratuity/ death gratuity is Rs. 6,00,000/-.
- In case of death gratuity it is calculated as follows:
- Less than 1 year of qualifying service, 2 times the last pay.
- 1 year to 5 years of service, 6 times the last pay.
- 5 years to 20 years of service, 12 times the last pay.
- 20 years or more of service, last pay x qualifying service (which is maximum 33 years)
- Last Pay means Basic Pay, Grade Pay plus Dearness Pay & Allowances in calculation of Gratuity only.
Illustration:-
- For a service period of 20 years and last pay of Rs. 15,000/-, DA Rs. 3000/- retirement gratuity will be Rs. 2,97,000/- and death gratuity if applicable would be Rs. 5,94,000/-.
- An employee of 3 years of qualifying service having last pay of Rs. 15,000/-, D.A Rs. 3000/-, retirement gratuity will be Rs. 6 x 18,000 x 3 = Rs. 1,62,000/-.
