Sir, ubject :-Clarification regarding revision of pay under SRO-222 in favour ofshri. Mohd Khalil, retired Accounts Assistant(unqualified). I am directed to refer your letter No. PNR-lIIS-3/ /41941/ dated on the subject captioned above. In this connection, it is to request that the issue stands Clarified Vide OM No. A170(09)-I-B-168 dated (copy enclosed). It is. however, further clarified that the restriction regarding non-drawal of sixth increment ti II passing ofthe requ isite exam inations shall be taken into account before deciding such cases.

10 5 GOVERNMENT OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR CIVIL SECRETARIAT-FINANCE DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR Subject :-Speedy Disposal of Pension Cases. The AccountantGeneral effects recovery ofthe amount from pensionary benefits in cases where the retirees have drawn excess salary. This is causing undue financial hardships to such employees. In orderto obviate the difficulties so faced, instructions were issued by Finance Department vide Circular No A/60(78)-194 dated to all the Departments to issue necessary instructions to the HoDs/Drawing and Disbursing Officers subord inate to them to get the pay fixation of the employees checked/verified by the Audit parties of Accountant General/Director.General, Audit and Inspections by providing Service Books and related records and have verification certificate to this effect recorded on the service book of each employee. 2. It was also impressed upon that the priority be accorded tothecases of those employees who are to retire within next three to four years. In case audit ofthe office is not expected in near future, the service records (Service Books) of such employees were advised to be sent to Audit office for verification so that excess amount if drawn, is recovered before the superannuation of the employee. 3. It was also made known that in case, the Accountant General points out recovery of any amount during the course of assessing the pension, the concerned Head of the Office/Drawing and Disbursing Officer shall be responsible and pay drawn in excess be recovered from the defaulter. 4. The biggest drawback in th is regard brought into the notice by the Accountant General is, that, instead of the person committing the mistake, the pensioner suffers. The departmental authorities actually responsible for incorrect fixation of pay are not held accountable, despite the above clearcut instructions which call for action againstthe erring Government servants. Such approach in the matter makes employees especially (Class IV and Non-Gazetted), to suffer by way of huge recoveries.

11 6... The basic pol icy of the Government is to ensure, that a pensioner gets nsion as soon as he retires. In order to achieve this objective, it is once enjoined upon the Administrative Secretaries of the departments to s upon all the Drawing &. Disbursing Officers under their control to - retothecircular instructions issued from timetotime in letter and spirit ensure that pension papers are sent to the Accountant General six ths before the month of retirement of an employee.
