7th CPC Voluntary Retirement Scheme
Recommendation on Voluntary retirement in 6th Pay Commission…
Presently, all employees on completion of 30 years qualifying service can take voluntary retirement by giving 3 months’ notice. Group A & B Officers who had entered service before the age of 35 years have the right to retire after attaining the age of 50 years by giving a similar notice. Group A & B Officers who had entered the service after 35 years of age and all Group C & D employees can also take voluntary retirement at their option. Retirement becomes effective on the expiry of notice period. No formal approval is necessary unless the official is under suspension. Employee can also retire voluntarily by giving 3 months’ notice on completion of 20 years qualifying service. However, in this case, acceptance by the Appointing Authority is necessary.
Pension on voluntary retirement is payable only if 20 years of qualifying service or more has been put in. In case of superannuation, pension is payable on completion of 10 years qualifying service or more. However full pension, whether on superannuation or voluntary retirement, is presently payable only on completion of qualifying service of 33 years. Weightage of upto 5 years for purposes of reckoning qualifying service for pension/gratuity is allowed in case of voluntary retirement provided the total qualifying service including the weightage does not exceed 33 years and the period does not go beyond the date of normal superannuation.

We have a case of an ex-servicemen Group A officer seeking voluntary retirement. He has completed a service of 17 years. While he can possibly seek voluntary retirement under FR 56k, it is also a fact that, as an ex-servicemen candidate, he entered the central government service after he attained 35 years of age, since age relaxation for entry into government service is available to ex-servicemen, to the extent of their previous military service. Can he be given voluntary retirement? What are the rules? He is governed by NPS, so there is no pension liability on the Government of India. Yet, the individual desires to seek voluntary retirement, because he can get encashment of 100% accumulated earned leave in his credit. If he submits resignation, he will get encashment for 50% of earned leave in his credit.
If a person seeks Voluntary retirement, is it true that he can get encashment for 150 days only whereas on superannuation one can get 300 days encashment. Moreover, If a person gives resignation while he is already on El will that leave period be counted in notice period.
All can take en-cashment of E.L. for 300 days, it any body have no 300 days E.L. they can take the balance of E.L. (full pay). plus half pay leave (balance), but for that only half pay will be taken for that days. (Not has full pay for that leave).
When he/she gives application from that date only may be accepted by the Authority with the conditions.

Sir
I have given 2nd MACP on 2009 with 3% increment plus Grade Pay of Rs. 2800. Further,I have promoted adhoc ASO on 28-02-2011. I have given only difference of Grade Pay Rs. 4600. After that annual increment on 01-07-2011 has not been given to me, annual increment has been given to me on 01-07-2012 after 01-07-2010. After that I promoted regular ASO without break. Latest as per DOPT order they have refix my pay Rs. 12540/- +4600 on my adhoc promotionon 28-02-2011.. Still they have not given annual increment on 01-07-2011.
Kindly clarify please is it right fixation or not as per rule .
Yes, it is correct. If it from 1/1/2011 to 30/6/11 completing higher pay it will be given on 1/7/11. From 28/2/2011 to 30/6/11 is not completing 6 months period in promotion pay, so it will be on 1/7/2012 in GP 4600 increment, Since you got Rs.4600-4200=400 plus D.A.at that time as extra from 28/2/11 to 30/6/12 that is treated as advance increment.
Even they withdraw VRS within three months after retirement also. After 3 months only the concerned Head of Department will process for further action. So, it will take another 3 months.
It will take more than 5 to 6 months. You will receive all the pensionary benefits including first pension amount through your bank account. The calculation of Commutation value (40% of Basic Pension), as per your age at the retirement. Don’t compare with regular retirement process.
Yes, you are correct. Usually after the completion of 25 years verification is completed it will be easy to verify further balance years. Moreover in the case of V.R.S it will not know, when they are giving V.R.S. Suppose they may withdraw any time is given V.R.S. Comparing to pension cases, V.R.S. cases will take more time. That work will be know by those who are doing, they only knows |
Sir I have taken Voluntary retirement by completing 3 months notice period after 29 years of service. When will i get Commuted value of pension & what is rule for that. It is learnt from my office that it is applicable after further 3 months after date of voluntary retirement. Please quote provisions.
It has no specific rules. Your qualifying service should be verified from the beginning of service, if you are taken E.O.L. without M.C. it will not count for service and it will be verified by your Pay & Accounts Office. On the basis your Pension, Commutation & Gratuity will be decided.
there is only 100 days of earned leave in my account. can i get leave encashment of remaining 200 days from commuted leave.
If you are retired you will get en-cashment for 100 days full pay and 200 days half pay i.e. 100 full pay total 200 days eligible.
Sir, I am central gov. Employee at defence, in the year 2022 I will complete 20 years of service.
I decided to go voluntary retirement in the year 2022 .so please i would like to know, can I get full pension ?
If not what type calculation should be available as per 7th pay recommendations.
If the qualifying Service (without any EOL loss of pay,) as per your last basic pay 50% of that is your pension p.m. plus D.R.
After 5th pay commission, every emoyee who retires (after becoming eligible for pension), can get full pension (i.e., 50% of 10 months average pay before the retirement or last month’s pay whichever is higher). Hence the question of full pension has been relinked with the number of years of service.
However, you would be loosing pension component of the increments that you would be earning had you been in service and retire at superannuation.
This is to inform you that your all increments are added to your last basic pay, on the basis of total last basic pay in that 50% is your pension from 1/1/2006.
No wait age from 6th CPC, Pension will be given as per the last basic pay or ten months average pay whichever is higher. Earlier it was minimum 33 years as full pension.
