Rule 70 — CCS

70. Date of retirement to be notified.- (1) When a Government servant retires from service,

(a) a notification in the Official Gazette in the case of a Gazetted Government servant; or

(b) an office order in the case of a non-gazetted Government servant, specifying the date of retirement within a week of such date and a copy of every such notification or the case may be, shall be forwarded immediately to the Accounts Officer:

Provided that where a notification in the Official Gazette or an office order, as the case may be, regarding the grant of leave preparatory to retirement to a Government servant is issued, a further notification or office order that the Government servant has actually retired on the expiry of such leave shall not be necessary unless the leave is curtailed and the retirement is for any reason ante-dated or postponed.

(2) Unless specific orders for extension of service are issued by the competent authority, the Government servant shall be deemed to have retired from service on the date on which he attains the age of superannuation and failure on the part of the office to issue a notification or office order under sub-rule (1) shall not make the Government servant entitled to continue in service beyond the date of superannuation.

Determination and authorisation of the amounts of family pension and gratuity in respect of a Government servant who dies or goes missing while in service
