7 Date of Retirement 30.06.2007
8 BASIC (Current drawn) Rs. 12775.00
9 DPA (Current drawn) Rs. 6363.00
10 DA (Current drawn) Rs. 5536.00 (29%)
11 Interruption

Calculation of various values

Average Emoluments

From 01 / 09 / 2006 To 30 / 06 / 2007 (Number of Months = 10)


Basic Pay = 12725.00
Dearness Pay (50%) = 6363.00
Total Emoluments = 190880.00
Average Emoluments = Rs. 19088.00

SMP (Six Monthly Periods) -


The total Qualifying Service is converted into SMP.
Here, in example
Qly Service = Date of Retirement – Date of Appointment (as Reg.)
YYYY MM DD
2007 6 30
- 1975 6 24
32 0 6

Therefore, Qly Service = 32 Years

SMP = 32 x 2 = 64 SMP

Age Factor (mentioned as MF) -


Age on birthday next to the retirement date = 59 Years
Therefore MF corresponding 59yr = 10.46

Total Pay
Last Basic Drawn = 12725.00
Dearness Pay (50% of Basic) = 6363.00
Dearness Allowance (29% of Basic + DP) = 5536.00
Total Pay = 24624.00
Calculation of Pension

(i) Pension
SMP

= (------- x 19088 x --------)
100 66

= 9255.00 pm w.e.f. 01 / 07 / 2007 (Limited to min. & max. value)

(ii) DCRG (in Lumpsum)

Last Salary Drawn (Total Pay) X SMP


= ------------------------------------------------------

24624.00 X 64
= ( ---------------------------)
4

= 393984.00

=> 350000.00
(Limited to maximum Rs 3,50,000.00)
(Limited to 10 Lakhs as declared on 26 Jan 2009)

(iii) COMMUTATION (in Lumpsum)

= Commutation Percent of Full Pension x Age Factor x 12

= 40 % x 9255.00 x 10.46 x 12

= 464675.00

Amount Payable = 464675.00

(iv) REDUCED PENSION

= (Full Pension – Commutation Percent of Full Pension) + DA on full Pension


= (9255 – ( 0.4 x 9255)) + ( 0.29 x 9255)
= (9255.00 – 3702.00) + 2683.95 = 5553 + 2683.95
= 8237.00 (Date of restoration as per order.)

Note: The amount DA on Full Pension varies as per the DA fixed from time to time,
however only (full pension – commutation percent on full pension) is shown in the
order. In this case Reduced Pension = Rs 5553 /-
FAMILY PENSION CALCULATION

DCRG – If employee is dead before attaining his qualifying Service of Retirement, The
calculation of DCRG in such case is as follows –
DCRG = Total Pay X Multiplying Factor
Where Multiplying Factor varies as follows
Service Life MF

1 to 5 years 6
5 to 20 years 12
above 20 SMP / 2 (in case of death)
SMP / 4 (on retirement)

FAMILY PENSION

A) Total Pay = Basic Pay + Dearness Pay


B) 30 % of Total Pay = 0.3 X Total Pay
C) 2 ( or 1.5) X (B) [1.5 when WCA 1923 applicable ]
D) 50 % of Total Pay
E) Lowest of ( C ) & ( D )
F) Therefore Family Pension would be (E) till 7 years from the date following the death
or 65 yrs age of the employee whichever is earlier. And there after it would be (B)

FAMILY PENSION CALCULATION

1 Total Pay Basic Pay + Dearness Pay 6765 + 3383 = 10148
2 30% of Total Pay 0.3 x A 0.3 x 10148 = 3045
3 2 (or 1.5) of B (1.5 if WCA 1923 applicable) 2 x 3045 = 6090
4 50 % of A 0.5 x A 0.5 x 10148 = 5074
5 Lowest of C & D ( check which is lowest) 5074
6 Family Pension till 7 = E ( till 29.05.2013) 5074
