Abstract

Kerala Service Rules - Enhancement of age of retirement - Re-option for fixation of pay under Rule 28A Part I, KSRs - Sanctioned - Orders issued.

FINANCE (RULES.A) DEPARTMENT

G.O.(P)No.421/2012/Fin.

Dated,Thiruvananthapuram, 28th July,2012.

Read:- G.O.(P)No. 183/2012/Fin, dated 26.3.2012.

ORDER

   As per the notification in the Government Order read above, Rule 60(a) & (c) Part I. KSRs were amended by withdrawing unification of date of retirement of Government employees and teachers as 31st March every year and enhancing their age of retirement from 55 to 56 years. It has come to the notice of Government that several officers, who were expecting retirement on  31.3.2012 were constrained to opt promotion date for fixation of pay under option (a) of Rule 28 A Part I, KSRs as there was no chance for accrual of increment in the lower time scale before 31.3.2012, which led to a reduction in pay and pensionary benefits. Since enhancement in the age of retirement provides the officers with a chance for accrual of increment in the lower post, they become eligible for exercise of option (b) for fixation of pay under Rule 28 A Part I KSRs. There are also cases of officers who preferred option (a) to option (b) in view of retirement on 31.3.2012 with the intention of enjoying the benefit of two increments during the full or part of the last ten months preceding 31.3.2012.
