However, the Commissionfailed to recommend any increasein the case of pensioners. On this,Secretary (Pension) mentionedthat m the case of servingemployees also, since the rise inprice index is 100% neutralized bymcrease m DA, norecommendation for any increasein Pay at any stage has been madeby the 6th CPC. It is only in thecase of other allowances ofserving employees which are notregularly increased correspondingto the rise in price index, that aseparate recommendation wasmade by the Commission forincrease in those allowances @25% after the rate of DA crossesthe mark of 50%. Since theseallowances are not applicable inthe case of penSIOners, thequestion of applicability of thisparticular recommendation to thepensioner would .not arise.Secretary (Pension), however,mentioned that if the PensionersAssociations come up with anyproposal as an alternative to themerger of DR with pension, thesame could be examined mconsultation with Ministry ofFinance.( Action: Desk G of DoP&PW )It was informed that this issue isunder examination in the NationalAnomaly Committee. Secretary(Pension) however intimated that ifthe Pensioners Associations come upwith any fresh proposal, the samewould be considered on merit.

IS 100% neutralization ofDearness Allowance/DearnessPay against the rise in priceindex. 6th CPC in its report hasstated that converSIOn ofdearness allowance into dearnesspay should invariably beaccompanied with simultaneousrevision of the base index whichwas not done in the conversioneffected on 1.4.2004. As suchany comparIson with theprevious rate of dearness reliefwould not be appropriate. (ii)6th CPC further observed thatconverSIOn of dearnessallowance as dearness payhowever, is not necessary in therevised structure beingrecommended where incrementsare payable as a percentage ofthe pay in the pay band andgrade pay thereon and provisionhas been made for allallowanceslbenefits to be revisedperiodically linked to theIncrease in the pnce index(4.1.18). In the Government'sResolution dated 29th August,

. 2008 it has been clearly statedthat merger of basic pay withdearness allowance has not beenrecommended (by 6th Cpe) atany stage and this position wasalso accepted by the Govt. 6th

CPC also did not make anyrecommendation for the mergerof Dearness relief for pensionereither.

Issue raised in the20th SCOVA meeting

Decision taken in the 20th SCOVAmeetingScheme. In their view, the NPS isheavily dependent on the stockmarket and there is no minimumguaranteed return to the subscriber.The staff-side sought to knowwhether the Scheme was legallyvalid as a PFRDA Bill was yet to bepassed by the Parliament. They alsomentioned that there was no soundmechanism to communicate thedetails of the NPS accounts/wealth tothe subscribers.

The staff-side enquired about the roleof Department of Pension and PW inimplementation of Scheme. It wasinformed that while theresponsibility In respect of NPScontinues to remain with Ministry ofFinance (Department of FinancialServices) Department of Pensionand PW has recently been asked totake action to frame rules regulatingNPS In respect of Governmentemployees. This matter is underexamination In consultation withMinistry of Law to decide the exactscope of the proposed rules in orderto ensure that the proposed rules are.within the four comers of PFRDABill and the NPS Scheme notified bythe Ministry of Finance InDecember, 2003.

invested In fixed Incomeinstruments with a small equityexposure. However, it is in theinherent nature of the definedcontribution type of penSIOnsystem, which is what NPS is allabout, that pension benefits arenot guaranteed by the State andall investment risk is born by thesubscribers. However, in orderto protect the interests of thesubscribers to the NPS and tooptimize the risk-return profileunder the NPS, the Governmenthas prescribed investmentpattern for investment of pensionfunds. Hence, the investmentrisks involved, if any, areminimized. The Interim PensionFund Regulatory &Development Authority(PFRDA) is responsible forregulation of investments madein the New Pension Sytem(NPS).

The query of the Staff Side so asto whether the scheme is valid asPFRDA Bill is yet to be passedby the Parliament, is based onthe incorrect understanding ofNPS and PFRDA Bill. The•object of the PFRDA Bill· is tocreate a statutory regulatorcalled PFRDA which will havepower to regulate theinstitutional architecture of NPS.PFRDA would act in the interestof all the subscribers to NPS(both Government and privateemployees and citizens) andwould stipulate standards andnorms for intermediaries, frameinvestment regulations andprovide exit facilities in the formof annuity to be offered by theinsurance companies licensed by

This Department has beenreceiving a number of references seeking clarifications on issues ofrelevance for implementation of these orders. Mter consideration ofthese references, the following clarifications are furnished for theguidance of all concerned:

I

1. In terms of the OM dated 5th March, 1998, parents who werewholly dependent onthe deceased Government Servant whenhe/she was alive will also be entitled to Family Pension witheffect from 1st January, 1998 subject to the ,fulfilment of theother conditions prescribed in this regard. Doubts have beenraised whether parents of Government Servants who died priorto 1st January, 1998.:will also be entitled to Family Pension. Itis clarified that Family Pension will be admissible in thesecases subject to the following:

a. The parents were wholly dependent on the GovernmentServant when he/she was alive;

b. The G9vernment servant has not left behind awidow/widower, eligible son or daughter or awidowed/divorced daughter, who will have a priorclaim to Family Pension in the order indicated;

c. All other prescribed conditions are fulfilled.

The Family Pension will, however, be payable onlywith effect from 1st January, 1998. It will be theresponsibility of the pension sanctioning authoritiesconcerned to satisfy themselves, based on a scrutiny ofthe service records and other relevant documents, thatt~~ parents were, in f(l~t~_~~olly dependent on t~e

deceased Government Servant when he/she was aliveand- that he/she has not left behind anyoHhee>ther-specified beneficiaries who have a prior claim to thefamily pension.

d. The family pension wherever admissible to parents, themother will receive the pension first and after her deaththe father will receive the family pension.

2. The production of Income Certificate as stipulated in thisDepartment's OM of 5th March, 1998 is also required to beinsisted upon before authorizing the FamilyPension to theeligible sons and daughters (including widowed/divorceddaughters) and dependent parents. In case they are self-employed or are in receipt of income from sources other thanemployment, Income Certificates furnished by the concernedbeneficiaries themselves may be accepted for the purpose.

3. Eligible sons of deceased Government employees will also berequired to furnish six-monthly certificates in regard to their

. marital status as is required of eligible daughters.4. Payment of Family Pension is to be discontinued in the event

of the eligible sons/daughters (including widowed/divorceddaughters) getting married/remarried or on their earning amonthly income exceeding Rs.2550/- or on attaining 25 yearsof age whichever is earlier. The crucial date for determiningtheir continued eligibility to Family Pension shall be 1stJanuary, 1998 and not 5th March, 1998 (the date of issue ofthis Department's earlier Office Memorandum) as has beenpresumed by some of the ministries and departments.
