3(1) A member of the Service shall be entitled subject to the provisions of these Regulations to commute for lump payment any portion not exceeding { }^{3} forty percent of the pension to which he was entitled under the Retirement Benefits Rules.
{ }^{4} Provided that a member of the Service, against whom judicial or departmental proceeding has been instituted or a pensioner against whom any such proceeding has been instituted or continued under sub rule (1) of Rule 6 of the Retirement Benefits Rules, shall not be permitted to commute any part of his pension during the pendency of such proceeding.

1

Explanation.- The compassionate allowance granted to a member of the Service under proviso to sub-rule (1) of rule 5 of the Retirement Benefits Rules, shall be treated as pension for the purpose of commutation under these rules.
{ }^{7} 3(2) If fraction of pension is to be commuted results in fraction of a rupee, such fraction of a rupee shall be ignored for the purpose of commutation”.

4. Commutation of anticipatory pension.-

Subject to the provisions of these regulations a member of the Service shall be entitled to commute an anticipatory pension that may be granted to him under rule 27 of the Retirement Benefits Rules. The commuted value of such pension shall be paid to him only after obtaining from him a declaration in the form set forth in Schedule ‘A’.
{ }^{8} 4(A). Members of the All India Services who have commuted a portion of their pension and on 1^{st } April, 1985 or thereafter have completed or will complete fifteen years from their respective dates of retirement will have their commuted portion of pension restored:

Provided that members of service who got themselves absorbed under Central Public Sector Undertakings/autonomous bodies and have received/or opted to receive commuted value upto forty percent of pension as well as terminal benefits equal to the commuted value of the balance amount of pension left after commuting upto forty percent of pension are not entitled to any benefit under these regulations as they ceased to be a pensioner under the All India Services (Death-Cum-Retirement Benefits) Rules, 1958.

1

Provided also that each pensioner who is eligible for restoration of his commuted portion of pension is required to apply in Form ‘ F ‘ to the pension disbursing authority/bank/post office who will restore the commuted portion of pension if the commuted amount has been mentioned in the pension payment order and will also pay the arrears, if any.

A member of service who has commuted a percentage of his final pension and after commutation his pension has been revised and enhanced retrospectively as a result of Government’s decision, the member of service shall be paid the difference between the commuted value determined with reference to enhanced pension and the commuted value already authorized. For the payment of difference, the applicant shall not be required to apply afresh:

Provided that in the case of an applicant who has commuted a percentage of his original pension not exceeding rupees six thousand after being declared fit by a Civil Surgeon or a District Medical Officer and as a result of retrospective enhancement of pension, he becomes eligible to commute an amount exceeding six thousand rupees per mensem, he shall be allowed the difference between the commuted value of rupees six thousand per mensem and the commuted value of the percentage of the original pension without further medical examination. The commutation of any further amount beyond rupees six thousand per mensem shall be treated as fresh commutation and allowed subject to examination by a Medical Board.”.

1

5. Application for commutation.-

An Application for commutation of pension shall be addressed to the Government. On receipt of an application for commutation of pension, the Government shall transmit to the applicant a copy of the Account Officer’s Certificate of the lump sum payable on commutation in the event of his being reported by a Medical Board to be a fit subject for commutation and shall at the same time instruct him to appear for examination before the medical board within three months of its order or if he has applied for commutation in advance of the date of his retirement, within three months of that date but in no case, earlier than the actual date of retirement.

5(2) The intimation for medical examination shall constitute the administrative sanction to commutation but shall lapse if the medical examination does not take place within the period prescribed in the sanctioning order. If the applicant does not appear for examination before the said medical board within the prescribed period the Government may at its discretion, renew the administrative sanction for a further period of three months without obtaining a fresh application for commutation of pension.

5(3) the applicant may withdraw his application by a written notice to the Government at any time before the date of the medical examination:

Provided that if the medical board directs that his age for the purpose of commutation shall be assumed to be greater than the actual age, the applicant may withdraw application by written notice dispatched within two weeks from the date on which he receives information of the revised sum payable on commutation or if the sum is already stated in the sanctioning order, within two weeks from the date on which he receives intimation of the finding of the medical board and if the applicant does not withdraw his application in writing within the period of two weeks prescribed above, he shall be assumed to have accepted the sum offered.

5(4) If the applicant requests within the prescribed period that the amount to be commuted might be reduced, this request is tantamount to a withdrawal of his application for commutation; such a request shall be treated as a new application.

5(5) Subject to the provision contained in regulation 8 and to the withdrawal of an application under the proviso to sub-regulation (3), the commutation shall become absolute, (i.e { }^{11} [ ]the title to receive the commuted value shall accrue), on the date on which the medical board signs the medical certificate.
{ }^{12} Note.- A pensioner whose application for the commutation of a portion of his pension is expressed as a percentage 13[ ] of the total pension admissible to him and is allowed

1

6. Second medical examination. –

Where a pensioner who applied for commutation has once been rejected on the recommendation of the medical board as not being a fit subject for commutation or after he has once declined to accept commutation on the basis of an addition of years to his actual age recommended by such board, he may be allowed to present himself once more before a medical board of medical examination with a view to the revision of the original finding at his own cost, provided that an interval of not less than one year shall elapse between the date of the first medical examination and the date of such a subsequent examination. The medical board shall in such a case be furnished with a copy of the report of the medical board which had previously examined the pensioner.

7. Payment of commuted value.-

{ }^{16} 7(1) Payment of the commuted value shall be made to the applicant as expeditiously as possible, but in the case of a member of the Service (hereinafter referred to as impaired members) in whose case the medical board has directed that his age for the purpose of commutation shall be assumed to be greater than his actual age, no payment shall be made until either a written acceptance of the commutation has been received or the period within which the application for commutation may be withdrawn has expired. The reduction in the amount of pension on account of commutation shall become operative from the date of receipt of the commuted value of pension by the pensioner or three months after the issue of the authority asking the pensioner to collect the commuted value of the pension by the Accountant General, whichever is earlier. This date will be entered in both halves of the pension payment order by treasury officer under intimation to the Accountant General.

1

Explanation.- For the purpose of this Regulation the age in the case of the impaired member shall be assumed to be such age not being less than the actual age, as the medical board may direct.

7(3) In the event of the table of present values applicable to an applicant having been modified between and the date on which the commutation is due to become absolute payment shall be made in accordance with the modified table but it shall be open to the applicant if the modified table is less favourable to him than that previously in force to withdraw his application by notice in writing dispatched within fourteen days of the date on which he receives notice the date of administrative sanction to commutation of the modification.

7(4) If the pensioner dies on or after the date on which the commutation became absolute but before receiving the commutation value, this value shall be paid to his legal heirs.

7-A Special provision for commutation.-

7A(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in regulations 5 and 6, if a pensioner, who-
{ }^{18} (a) retired under sub-rules (1), (2) and (2A) of rule 16 of the Retirement Benefits Rule, or
(b) is retired by Central Government under sub-rule (3) of rule 16 of the Retirement Benefits Rules, or

7A(2) The provisions contained in sub-regulations (1) to (4) of regulation 7 shall apply mutatis, mutandis to commutation of pension under sub-regulation (1) of this regulation.

1

8. Cancellation of sanction for commutation in certain cases.-

If the applicant makes any statement found to be false within his knowledge or wilfully suppresses any material fact in answer to any question, written or oral, put to him in connection with his medical examination, the Government may cancel the sanction at any time before payment is actually made and such a statement or suppression may be treated as grave misconduct for the purpose of rule 3 of the Retirement Benefits Rules.

9. Miscellaneous.-

9(1) The sanction and payment of commuted value and matters incidental thereto shall be regulated by such procedural instructions as may be issued from time to time by the Central Government.

9(2) Application for commutation, administrative sanction and report of the medical board shall be made in such form as may be by prescribed by the Central Government.

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA’S DECISIONS

  1. Report from the Audit officer will have to be called for in the prescribed form for the commutation of pension twice for commutation from anticipatory and final pension: – A pensioner is not required to apply afresh for commutation of the difference between the percentage or fraction of the final pension and the anticipatory pension. However, as the commutation in such case is payable in two instalments one out of the anticipatory pension and the other after final assessment of pension, the report from the Audit officer will have to be called for in the prescribed form for the commutation of pension twice. A fresh sanction of the administrative authority for the difference of the commuted value i.e. the maximum value accrued minus value commuted provisionally, will also be necessary.
    [G.I., MHA letter No. 28/1/60-AIS(II) dated 15.9.1960]
  2. The application for commutation, administrative sanction and report of medical board shall be made in forms A, B, & C respectively which have been prescribed for this purpose by the Government of India.
