Mr. Sharma, a Section Officer, retires after 30 years of service. His Head of Office forwards his pension papers to the Accounts Officer. The Accounts Officer, following Rule 1, meticulously checks the date of receipt, Mr. Sharma's qualifying service (30 years), and calculates his monthly pension amount to be ₹30,000. Mr. Sharma received a provisional pension of ₹25,000 per month from his Head of Office under Rule 62. The Accounts Officer notes the dates of provisional pension payment and the date from which the regular pension of ₹30,000 will commence. He also notes that Mr. Sharma commuted a portion of his pension and the corresponding reduction in his monthly pension amount. Finally, he calculates Mr. Sharma's retirement gratuity to be ₹15,00,000, adjusting ₹5,000 for outstanding license fees for his government accommodation.
