of the said CM in respect of those who died/die while in service,
the family pension and the pension equivalent of death gratuity
may be taken into account in place of pension and pension
equivalent of gratuity respectively. In case of death after
superannuation, the formula for calculating the deductions will
be the same as prescribed in the CM dated 6.4.93. The amount of
HPL encashment will be payable to the family of the deceased
Government servant in the manner specified in Rule 39-0 of OCS
