Para 13.60.2 — MSO (A&E)
Original Rule Text
13.60.2 In the case of Armed Forces Officers and State Government servants the date of birth should be recorded at the heading. In the case of Armed Forced Officers in Civil employ details of service in Armed Forces previous to transfer to Civil employ need not be shown but only the period of service should be stated together with full details of all leave taken in the Armed Forces employment. Their record of service in I.A.F (C.D.A) 313 should be maintained in addition in accordance with the rules laid down in Appendix I to the Defence Audit Code. 13.60.3 Entries relating to punitive action taken in regard to a gazetted Government servant should not be made without special orders of Government. If an Accounts Officer considers that such an entry is indispensably necessary for the purpose of regulating his emoluments/pension he should refer the question for the orders of Government who will decide what form the entry should take.
Note: Periods of joining time ordinarily need not be recorded except in the following cases:-
What This Means
For Armed Forces officers and State Government servants, the date of birth must be recorded in the History of Services heading. For Armed Forces officers in civil employ, only the period (not full details) of military service needs to be shown, along with all leave taken during military service. Their Defence service record (IAF Form 313) continues separately. Entries about punitive action against gazetted officers require special Government orders and cannot be made by the Accounts Officer on their own.

Practical Example
A Brigadier transfers to the civil department as a Joint Secretary. The AG's office records only the total period of his military service (e.g., '22 years, 1985-2007') in the civil History of Services, but lists all leave taken during that military period in detail. His IAF (CDA) 313 continues to be maintained by the Defence Accounts Officer.
