OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject:- Withholding of 10% gratuity from the retiring Government servants -clarification regarding.

   The undersigned is directed to say that this Department has been receiving representations from individuals and Pensioners Associations that Government Departments have been withholding 10% of the amount of gratuity from each retirees even when they had not been provided any Government accommodation.

   2. The recovery and adjustment of Govt. dues from retirement gratuity is regulated under Rules 71 to 73 of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972. Rule (1) to (3) of Rule 72 ibid provide for recovery of actual amount of Govt. dues in respect of Govt. accommodation from pay & allowances before retirement and from Retirement Gratuity. Sub rule (5) of Rule 72 ibid stipulates that if, in any particular case, it is not possible for the Directorate of Estates to determine the outstanding licence fee, that Directorate shall inform the Head of Office that ten per cent of gratuity may be withheld pending receipt of further information. The withheld amount of gratuity is to be paid back to government servant immediately on production of 'No Demand Certificate' (NDC) from Dte of Estates. Thus, if no 'Govt. dues' in respect of Govt. accommodation are outstanding then the rules do not provide for Withholding of any part of the gratuity on retirement of the Govt. servant. If no Government accommodation is allotted to a Government servant, in accordance with Dte of Estate's OM NO.18011/511990-Pol-IIIdated 12.10.2010, it is for the Administrative Ministry to issue an 'NDC".

   3. As regards recovery in respect of 'Govt. dues' other than those pertaining to Govt. accommodation, the Head of Office is required to complete assessment of such dues eight months prior to the date of retirement [Rule 73(2)]. The actual amount of such dues and the dues which come to the notice subsequently and remaining outstanding are to be adjusted against the amount of retirement gratuity becoming payable to the Govt. servant on retirement. Thus, there is no provision for withholding any part of gratuity for the purpose of recovery of outstanding government dues other than those pertaining to government accommodation.

Central Government Employees to get Bigger and Better Quarters.

The quarters of central government employees are set to become bigger and better.

   Ahead of the election season, the urban development ministry is planning to not just increase the houses' areas by an average of 25 per cent but also fit them out with modular kitchens and electric chimneys. The last time the housing norms were revised was in 1981.

   During Janata Party rule in 1977, the government had asked the central public works department (CPWD) to scale down the sizes of the quarters and the amenities provided. The idea was to build more quarters in less time. A year after the Congress came back to power in 1980, it reverted to the old norms.

   "We can say that this is the first time in (over) 30 years that the government is working on improving the living conditions of government employees," a senior CPWD official said.

Penal Rent after transfer/retirement of Govt. employees in Haryana.

No.10/57/2011 -2FICV

From
The Principal Secretary to Govt. Haryana,
Finance Department.

To
(1) All the Heads of Departments,
(2) The Commissioner of Divisions,
(3) The Registrar, Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh.
(4) All Deputy Commissioners and Sub Divisional Officers (Civil) in,Haryana.

Dated Chandigarh, the 18th June, 2012.

Subject:- Penal Rent after transfer/retirement of Govt. employees in Haryana.

Sir,
   I am directed to refer to the Haryana Government, Finance Department circular letter No. l0/14/94-2FICW, dated 20.1.95 and l0/30/96-2FICW dated 30.5.1997 on the subject noted above and to state that it has come to the notice of State Government that normally Government employees do not vacate the Government Accommodation on the prescribed date after their retirement/transfer. Further some of the officers/officials retain their Government Accommodation even after the prescribed period and earn rental income from their own houses at the present market rates. Now the matter regarding charging of penal/market rent after transfer/retirement of Haryana Government employees has been re-considered by the Government it has been decided to enhance the penal/ market rent of the Government Accommodation so that such unauthorized retention does not create administrative problems leading to resentment amongst the employees who are waiting for the allotment of Government Accommodation. Further, after careful consideration, it has been decided that:-

   (i) Penal rent should be at least 300 times of the license fee. In any event after 3 months of over stay during which time, penal rent can be charged, defaulting employee should be charged, twice the market rent in order to disincentivize him/her from (a) occupying Government property and (b) denying another eligible employee right to occupy Government House. Market rent may be determined by a committee consisting of FCPW. EIC PWD(B&R), Chief Engineer (Buildings) and a representative of FD not below the rank of Joint Secretary. It may be revised on year to year basis thereafter.

   (ii) In case sub-letting is found to be have been done by the employee, penal rent should be 500 times of license fee for first three months and thereafter it should be five times of market rent. In all such cases where an employee sub-lets Government Accommodation he/she should be charge-sheeted under rule-7 of the HCS (P&A) Rules 1987 as it amounts to serious insubordination to continue to occupy Government house in an unauthorized fashion. It should also debar him/her from getting Government Accommodation in future for a period of five years.

   (iii) In all such cases proceedings need to be initiated under Public Premises Act for eviction. The normal rent will he calculated by the PWD (B&R) Department. Haryana in accordance with the instructions No. 10/24/2001 - 2FICW dated 1.9.2008 i.e. 1.5% license fee of basic pay.

   2. These orders will be effective from the date of issue of these instructions. Necessary amendments in Rule 5.23 of CSR Vol.I Part-I will be made in due course.

Yours faithfully,
