Government employees facing uncertainties about their pension benefits following state reorganizations have received crucial clarity. For individuals impacted by the Uttar Pradesh Reorganisation Act 2000, the general principle dictates that retirement benefits are to be sanctioned by the successor state to which an employee was finally allocated. This applies to those who have retired, expired, or are due to retire after the designated date, excluding All India Services personnel. However, a significant exception ensures that if an employee was allocated to a successor state but could not join due to administrative or legal constraints, their pension will be disbursed by the state from which they relinquished their office upon retirement or demise. This official stance aims to resolve long-standing issues and streamline the process of receiving well-deserved post-service benefits.

Subject: Clarification regarding sanction of pensionary benefits to the employees affected by UP Reorganisation Act 2000 –
Sir,
I am directed to refer to the subject noted above and to say that representations are being received from the aggrieved State Government employees requesting that direction may be given to the State Government for releasing their retirement benefits. The matter was also considered by the State Advisory Committee in its meeting held on 20.04.2010 with reference to a similar request received from Shri Pyare Lal Kapoor, Retd. Superintendent Engineer, PWD by it. In this regard the communication No.28/7/2002-SRS dated 07.03.2002 issued by the Central Government clearly clarifies that in the case of the State Government employees other than A!! India Services who have either expired or retired or are due to retire after the appointed day, normally the pensionary benefits are to be sanctioned by the successor State to which the State Service Personnel is finally allocated however, in cases where the State Government employees were finally allocated but were not relieved to join as per final allocation due to Administrative/Legal reasons, the pensionary benefits are to be paid by the State from where the employee has relinquished the office on account of retirement/death.
This may kindly be brought to the notice of all concerned for compliance.
Yours faithfully,
Deputy Secretary to the Govt. of India
