Rule 52 - Re-employment Pay Fixation | KartavyaDesk

CCS Pension

Original Rule Text

(i) before such re-employment, including permanent absorption or immediate absorption, he was not (ii) in accordance with the relevant rules or orders, his pay was fixed at the minimum of the scale of pay of the post in which he was so re-employed or absorbed and such minimum of the scale of pay was less than the pay which he was drawing immediately before his retirement or absorption; and (iii) while fixing his pay in the post in which he was so re-employed or absorbed, the entire amount of pension sanctioned by the Central Government was ignored.

What This Means

Rule 52 of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 2021 deals with a specific situation regarding the pay fixation of a retired government employee who is re-employed or permanently absorbed into another government post. This rule applies when three conditions are met: first, the employee was not already re-employed or absorbed before; second, their pay in the new role was fixed at the minimum of the pay scale, and this minimum was less than their previous pay; and third, when fixing their pay in the new role, the government completely disregarded their pension amount. Essentially, it aims to prevent a situation where a re-employed pensioner is unfairly disadvantaged in terms of pay compared to their pre-retirement earnings, especially when their pension wasn't considered during pay fixation.

Practical Example

Mr. Sharma retired as a Section Officer with a last drawn pay of ₹70,000. After retirement, he was re-employed as an Assistant in another department. According to the rules, his pay was fixed at the minimum of the Assistant's pay scale, which was ₹45,000. During this pay fixation, the department completely ignored his pension of ₹30,000. Rule 52 would be applicable in this case because Mr. Sharma's pay in the new role is less than his pre-retirement pay, and his pension was not considered when fixing his pay. This rule ensures that Mr. Sharma's case is reviewed to ensure he is not unfairly disadvantaged.
