9.10 DEPUTATION OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO STATE GOVERNMENTS AND VICE-VERSA
9.10.1 The Government employees whether temporary or permanent, who are deputed from Central Government to State Government and vice-versa, the system of allocation of pension/leave salary etc. has been dispensed with. This has been done in terms of Govt. of India, Department of Personnel & Administrative Reforms letter No.3 (20)/Pen (a)/79 dated 31.3.1982, read with the provisions contained in APPENDIX V-B, II and III to the Government Accounting Rules, 1990. The liability for pension and gratuity at the time of retirement in such cases will be fully borne by the Central or State Government to which the government employee permanently belongs.
9.10.2 Similarly, full liability for leave salary will be borne by the Department from which the government servant proceeds on leave.
9.10.3 The liability for government contribution to CPF will be borne entirely by the parent department of the concerned Central or State Government, and no contribution will be recovered from the borrowing department.
9.10.4 In case of Government servants of State Government on deputation to the Centre, which mainly consists of AIS Officers, the Central Government will pay an ad-hoc grant in lieu of the recovery of pension contributions to the State Government.
9.10.5 In respect of AIS Officers borne on State Cadres but serving on deputation with a department of the Central Government, the recoveries on account of applicable G.P. Fund and Group Insurance Scheme shall be passed on by the PAO of Ministry/Department to the State AG concerned. This will be applicable even for AIS officers on deputation with Railways, Defence, Posts and Telecommunications Departments.
9.10.6 In respect of the State Governments that have taken over the work of maintenance of GPF accounts of its employees from the Indian Audit & Accounts Department, the procedure will be slightly modified. In these cases, the GPF recoveries for AIS officers borne on State cadres will be remitted directly to the authority nominated by State Government for maintenance of GPF accounts.
9.10.7 In the case of officers on deputation to the Central Civil Ministries/Departments from State Governments, UT Governments and Administrations, Posts, Telecommunications, Railways and Defence: In these cases, the PAO shall furnish the annual statement of subscription to GPF account, recovery of temporary advances from the GPF account, recoveries against house building advance and motor car advance sanctioned by the parent department, to each individual officer through the head of office, in form CAM-66. The annual statement will be prepared on the basis of entries in the Register of Outward claims maintained in form CAM-53. A copy of the statement shall be simultaneously sent to the Pay and Accounts Officer of the concerned official by the 31st of August each year. This statement can be used by the Pay and Accounts Officer of the parent department to adjust missing credits if any in the subscriber's account, without any need for correspondence with Principal Accounts Offices/Pay and Accounts Offices of the Central Government Ministries/Departments. The Pay and Accounts Officer of the State Government and the Pay and Accounts Officer of the parent department will follow similar procedure in the reverse situation where a State Government borrows the services of a Central Govt. employee, including that of UT Governments and Administrations, Posts, Telecommunications, Railways and Defence. Their roles will be suitably reversed as well.
What This Means
This paragraph covers the handling of pension, leave salary, and other service-related costs when Central Government officials are deputed to State Governments and vice versa. The old system of proportionately allocating pension and leave salary costs between the lending and borrowing governments has been abolished. Now, the borrowing government (where the officer is serving on deputation) bears the full cost of deputation-related allowances, and the lending government continues to bear the pension liability without seeking reimbursement. Leave salary contributions and pension contributions are no longer exchanged between governments for deputed employees.

Practical Example
An IAS officer on the Central Government payroll is deputed to the Government of Kerala for 3 years. The Government of Kerala pays the deputation allowance and other service costs during the posting. When the officer eventually retires from the Central Government, the Centre bears the full pension cost without claiming any contribution from Kerala for the 3 years served there. No leave salary contribution is exchanged either.
