Practical Example
A retiring officer in Tamil Nadu wishes to commute 40% of her pension into a lump sum. The AG's office processes the commutation report following the Tamil Nadu State Government pension commutation rules, using the commutation table applicable in that State, as supplemented by any local modifications described in the Tamil Nadu AG's manual.
