<\/div>\n
3.<\/b>\u00a0The\u00a0Government<\/b>\u00a0reserve to themselves the\u00a0right of withholding or withdrawing a pension<\/b>\u00a0or any part of it, whether permanently or for a specified period, and the right of ordering the recovery from a pension of the whole or part of any pecuniary loss caused to government if in a departmental or judicial proceeding, the pensioner is found guilty of grave misconduct or negligence during the period of his service, including service rendered upon re-employment after retirement:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Provided that \u2013<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
(a)such departmental proceeding, if instituted while the employee was in service, whether before his retirement or during his re-employment, shall after the final retirement of the employee, be deemed to be a proceeding under this rule and shall be continued and concluded by the authority by which it was commenced in the same manner as if the employee had continued in service;<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
(b)such departmental proceeding, if not instituted while the employee was in service, whether before his retirement or during his re-employment,<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
(i) shall not be instituted save with the sanction of the Government;<\/div>\n
(ii) shall not be in respect of any event which took place more than four years before such institution; and<\/div>\n
(iii) shall be conducted by such authority and in such place as the Government may direct and in accordance with the procedure applicable to departmental proceeding in which an order of dismissal from service could be made in relation to the employee during his service;<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
<\/div>\n
(c) no such judicial proceedings, if not instituted while the employee was in service whether before his retirement or during his re-employment, shall be instituted, save with the\u00a0sanction of the Government, in respect of a cause of action which arose or an event which took placemore than four years before such institution<\/b>\u00a0and;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
(d)The Public Service Commission shall be consulted\u00a0before final orders are passed.<\/div>\n
Explanation : For the purpose of this rule \u2013<\/div>\n
\n
(a) a departmental proceeding shall be deemed to be instituted on the date on which the statement of charges is issued to the employee or pensioner or if the employee has been placed under suspension from an earlier date, on such date; and<\/div>\n
(b) a judicial proceeding shall be deemed to be instituted\u00ac<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
(i) in the case of a criminal proceeding, on the date on which the complaint or report of police officer on which the Magistrate takes cognizance, is made, and<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
(ii) in the case of a civil proceeding, on the date of presentation of the plaint in the Court.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
<\/div>\n
Note 1:\u2013<\/b>As soon as proceedings of the nature referred to in this rule are instituted the authority which institutes such proceedings should without delay intimate the fact to the Audit Officer. The amount of pension withheld under this rule\u00a0should not ordinarily exceed\u00a0one\u2013 third\u00a0<\/b>of the pension originally sanctioned. In fixing the amount of pension to be so withheld regard should be had to the consideration whether the amount of the pension left to the pensioner in any case would be adequate for his maintenance.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The word \u2018pension\u2019<\/b>\u00a0used in this rule does not include\u00a0death-cum\u00acretirement-gratuity. Liabilities fixed against an employee or pensioner can be recovered from the death-cum-retirement gratuity payable to him without the departmental\/judicial proceedings referred to in this rule, but after giving the employee or pensioner concerned a reasonable opportunity to explain.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Note3:\u2013<\/b><\/div>\n
\n
The liabilities of an employee should be quantified either before or after retirement and intimated to him before retirement # if possible or after retirement within a period of\u00a0three years\u00a0<\/b>on becoming pensioner.\u00a0The liabilities of pensioner should be quantified and intimated to him.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
Ruling No. 1<\/div>\n
Amounts due from a Government employee or pensioner to Government Companies, Local Bodies, Co-operative Societies, etc.,\u00a0though not treated as Government dues may be recovered from the death-cum-retirement gratuity payable to him\u00a0with his consent in writing.<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ruling No. 2<\/b><\/div>\n
According to proviso (a) under this rule, departmental proceedings, if instituted while the employee was in service, whether before his retirement or during his re-employment, shall after the final retirement of the employee be deemed to be a proceeding under this rule and shall be continued and concluded by the authority by which it was commenced in the same manner as if the employee had continued in service. A doubt was raised as to whether in the case of an employee whose case falls within the purview of the proviso and proceedings against whom were instituted by an authority subordinate to Government, order for withdrawal\/ withholding of pension can be passed by the subordinate authority on the conclusion of the proceedings. The function of the Disciplinary Authority is only to reach a finding on the charge and to submit a report recording its findings to the Government. Government will then consider the findings and take a final decision. In case Government decide to take further action under Rule 3 the Government will serve the person concerned with a show-cause notice specifying the action proposed to be taken under this rule and the person concerned will be required to submit his reply to the show-cause notice within such time as may be specified by the Government. The Government will consider the reply in consultation with the Public Service Commission and pass necessary orders in the name of the Governor.<\/div>\n
The above procedure in regard to the issue of show-cause notice will also apply to a case where the Governor functions as the Disciplinary Authority.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ruling No.3<\/b><\/div>\n
The note 2 above does not mean that the employee\u2019s or pensioner\u2019s consent<\/div>\n

\n
(b)Payment of provisional pension made under clause (a) shall be adjusted against the final retirement benefits sanctioned to such employee upon conclusion of the aforesaid proceeding, but no recovery shall be made where the pension finally sanctioned is less than the provisional pension or the pension is reduced or withheld either permanently or for a specified period.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Note:\u2013The grant of pension under this rule shall not prejudice operation of Rule 59 when final pension is sanctioned upon conclusion of the proceeding.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
3-B\u00a0<\/b>Notwithstanding anything contained in these rules, the monetary value equivalent to the amount of increments ordered to be withheld from an employee may be recovered from the\u00a0death-cum-retirement gratuity\u00a0of the employee where the order to withhold increments could not be given effect to before the retirement or death of the employee.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
3-C\u00a0<\/b>Notwithstanding anything contained in these rules recovery of excess payments made to an officer by mistake within a period of\u00a0four years\u00a0before his retirement and which are detected within a period of four years after retirement may be made from his pension and other amounts due to him after retirement, subject to the condition that such deduction if made from his pension shall be effected only in monthly instalments in whole rupees and that the amount of each instalment\u00a0shall not exceed\u00a010 per cent\u00a0<\/b>of the monthly pension admissible to him.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Government Decision<\/b><\/div>\n
\n
(1)The words \u2018pension admissible\u2019 referred to in this rule is the \u2018pension admissible\u2019 before commutation.<\/div>\n
(2)In the event of death of the pensioner during the course of recovery specific sanction of Government is required to\u00a0waive recovery\u00a0of the balance amount outstanding.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
