Voluntary Retirement Service (VRS)
Scheme of Voluntary Retirement for Central Government employees
“Central Government employees are allowed to go for retirement before attaining the age of superannuation as per CCS (Pension) 48-A Rules”.
A Central Government employee can apply for voluntary retirement after completion of 30 years of qualifying service under the CCS (Pension) 48 Rules. A CG employee can apply for voluntary retirement after completion of qualifying service of 20 years under CCS (Pension) 48-A Rules.
6th CPC Recommendation: 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.
