Para 14.13 — MSO

14.13 To ensure that correct settlement of the accounts between Governments on account of each pension the following procedure should be observed:-

(a) Pension Payment Orders issued for payment of pensions at treasuries should specify whether the charge is debitable to the State or to the Central Government, and this classification should also be noted in the Treasurywise pension payment Register, if maintained.

(b) The pension reports by the Accountant General should indicate invariably the apportionment of the charge according to the rules laid down in Section B

(iii) of Appendix 5 to the Government Accounting Rules, 1990, so that the authority sanctioning the pension may notify it in the orders of sanction.

(c) When the Accountant General has to issue a Last Pay Certificate to enable the pensioner to draw his pension in another circle in India, the Last Pay Certificate should similarly indicate the apportionment of the pensionary charge, if so required.

(d) If any part of the pension is payable by a Government other than the Government which sanctions it the Accountant General of the sanctioning Government should effect recovery of the amount due from the other Government in such manner as may be mutually agreed upon between the two Governments concerned.
