Mr. Sharma, a government employee retiring after 30 years of service, is subject to Rule 7. His Head of Office (HOO) uses his last drawn pay (including NPA) and average emoluments to determine his pensionable amount. Mr. Sharma was on foreign service for two years prior to retirement. The HOO calculates what his emoluments would have been had he not been on foreign service. After calculating his pension and retirement gratuity, the HOO discovers that Mr. Sharma owes Rs. 10,000 in unpaid license fees for his government accommodation. This amount is deducted from his retirement gratuity before the remaining amount is disbursed. His wife, Mrs. Sharma, is designated as the primary beneficiary for family pension.
