Death-cum-Retirement Benefit Rules Simplified

Updated on January 8, 2019 27 Comments

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
100 years or more 100% of the basic pension

Family Pension

  • Family Pension is 30% of the last pay.
  • Maximum ceiling of family pension is Rs. 21,000/-

Additional Family Pension

The amount of pension increases with the increase of the age of the family pensioner by the following methods:

Age of Family Pensioner Additional Quantum of Pension
From 80 years to 85 years 20% of the basic family pension
From 85 years to 90 years 30% of the basic family pension
From 90 years to 95 years 40% of the basic family 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/-.

Commutation of Pension

A Government employee is entitled to commute up to a lump sum of 40% of pension as per the following table:

Age on next birthday Commutation value expressed as number of year’s purchase Age on next birthday Commutation value expressed as number of year’s purchase

46 8.971 77 5.443
47 8.943 78 5.229
48 8.913 79 5.018
49 8.881 80 4.812
50 8.846 81 4.611

    My father’s total service life is 9 years 7 months 10 days. Someone said that, as per DCRB scheme there have a provision to condone upto 6 month by Govt. But after prayer to condone, Govt denied to pay pension. Is it possible? He retired in 2014 as assistant primary school teacher. Have there any exist Government order to get pension? Kindly advise whether he is eligible to get pension.
