Rule 126 - Reversion from Foreign Service | KartavyaDesk

FR/SR

Original Rule Text

F.R. 126. When a Government servant reverts from foreign service to Government service, his pay will cease to be paid by the foreign employer and his contributions will be discontinued, with effect from the date of reversion.

What This Means

F.R. 126 deals with what happens to a government employee's salary and contributions when they return to regular government service after a period of 'foreign service'. Foreign service, in this context, means being employed by an organization outside the government, like a public sector undertaking (PSU) or an international body, while still technically being a government employee. During this time, the foreign employer usually pays the employee's salary and makes contributions towards their pension and other benefits.

Rule 126 simply states that when the employee returns to their original government job, the foreign employer stops paying their salary and making those contributions. This change takes effect from the exact date the employee rejoins government service. It's a straightforward rule ensuring that the financial responsibility shifts back to the government once the employee is no longer working for the foreign entity.

This rule primarily affects government employees who have been on foreign service and are now reverting back to their parent department. It clarifies the point at which the financial obligations transfer back to the government, preventing any ambiguity regarding salary payments and contributions.
