Note : In the case of employees who retired prior to the date of notification of these Regulations, the period of one year shall be counted from the date of issue of notification. 7.4.(a) The benefit of commutation of pension without medical examination under Regulation 7.3 shall not be admissible to an employee: (i) who retires on invalid pension, or (ii) applies for commutation of pension after one year of the date of his retirement, except, when the grant of pension is held up on account of any judicial or departmental proceedings instituted by the University, and in such cases, the period of one year shall be deemed to commence with effect from the date the proceedings are concluded without extinguishing the title to pension. (b) Procedure for commutation and medical examination will be such as may be prescribed by the Syndicate under Rules to be made in this behalf. 7.5.(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in these Regulations, the commuted portion of Superannuation pension, which is commuted within one year of the date of retirement, shall be restored when the pensioner attains the age of 72 years. (b) In other cases, where the commutation is made after one year of retirement or when a pensioner retired on compensation, invalid or Retiring pension, the commuted portion of pension shall be restored after such period as may be prescribed by rules made in this behalf, keeping in view generally the principle that the commuted value alongwith interest, has been more or less fully repaid, to the University by way of drawal of reduced pension. (viii) Re-employment of Pensioners 8.1. When a person who was formerly in the employment of any Government, or any autonomous body, obtains re-employment, whether temporarily or permanently, in the University, it shall be incumbent on him to declare to the appointing authority the amount of any bonus or pension granted to him in respect of the previous employment. The appointing authority shall decide if any deduction is to be made from pension or pay as required by these Regulations. 8.2. A University employee who has retired on Compensation pension, or on invalid pension, but is sufficiently restored to health, if re-employed in qualifying service, may either retain his pension in which case, the former service will not count for pension, or refund it and count his former service. 8.3. A University employee who has retired on Compensation pension, if re-employed, may retain his pension in addition to his pay, provided that his pension shall remain wholly or partly in abeyance. If the sum of the pension and initial pay on re-employment exceeds his substantive pay immediately before retirement, that is, he can draw only such portion of pension as will make his initial pay plus pension equal to his substantive pay at the time of his retirement. Once the amount of pension has been fixed in conformity with this condition, he shall be entitled to receive the benefit of increment in his new scale, or, promotion to another scale, or post without a further corresponding reduction in pension. 8.4. If the re-employment after receiving Compensation Pension, is in qualifying service, the employee may either retain his pension, in which case, his former service will not count for pension, or cease to draw any part of his pension and count his previous service. Pension intermediately drawn need not be refunded. 8.5. The re-employment of employees who retired on invalid pension will also be governed by the Regulations 8.3. and 8.4. 8.6. An employee who has retired on Superannuation, or Retiring pension, can be re- employed only in a purely temporary capacity with the sanction of competent authority. In determining the pay of such re-employed pensioners, the following principles shall be observed: (i) the pay must not exceed the substantive pay drawn immediately before retirement, or the maximum of the scale, applicable to the post in which he is re-employed,whichever is less; (ii) when a person is re-employed after superannuation, his pay plus pension, including commuted portion, if any, shall not exceed the substantive pay drawn immediately before retirement, or the maximum of the post in which he is re-employed; whichever is less. 8.7. When an employee who having been discharged with a pension is subsequently re- employed, he may not count his new service for a separate pension. Pension (if any) is admissible only for the new service combined with the old, the whole being counted as one service. 8.8. If an employee who has obtained Compensation or invalid pension is re-employed in pensionable service and retains the pension (Regulations 8.3. and 8.5.), the pension or gratuity admissible for his subsequent service is subject to the limitations that the gratuity or capital value of the pension shall not be greater than the difference between the value of the pension that would be admissible at the time of the final retirement, if the two periods of service were combined and the value of pension already granted for previous service. (ix) Procedure for sanctioning and payment of Pension 9.1. Delay in payment of pension involves hardship to the pensioner. The Vice-Chancellor will frame a Time Table and prescribe the procedure for ensuring prompt sanctioning and timely payment of pension and other dues of the retirees. It should be ensured by all those concerned with sanctioning and payment of pension and other dues that payment is made on the date when it becomes due. 9.2. If payment of pension and/or Death-Gratuity/Retirement gratuity is delayed beyond three months, from the date of its becoming due, interest at such rate as may be specified by the rules, to be made by the Syndicate, shall be paid for the period beyond three months after these benefits become due to the end of the month preceding the month in which payment is authorised to the pensioner concerned. (x) Delegation of Powers 10.1. The following authorities shall exercise the power of competent authority under various regulations :- S.No. Number of Nature of Power Authority to which Extent of Power Regulation power delegated 1 2 3 4 5 Power to withhold or withdraw a pension, or, any part of it, on account of grave mis-conduct of the pensioner.
