(ii) Allowances: The drawal of various allowances and other benefits in the revised pay structure shall be regulated with reference to the grade pay of the re-employed post or the basic pay, as the case may be.
(iii) Treatment of Military Service Pay (MSP): MSP is granted to Defence Forces officers/personnel while they are serving in the Defence Forces. Accordingly, on their re-employment in civilian organizations, including secret organizations under the Cabinet Secretariat umbrella, the question of grant of MSP to such officers/personnel does not arise. However, the benefit of MSP given to all retired Defence Forces officers/personnel by reckoning it at the time of calculation of their pension (notionally in the case of pre-1.1.2006 pensioners) should not be withdrawn. 'Accordingly, while the pension of such re-employed pensioners will include the element of MSP, they will not be granted MSP while working in civilian organizations.
(iv) Fixation of pay of personnel officers re-employed prior to 1.1.2006 and who were in employment as on 1.1.2006: In the case of personnel/officers who were re-employed before 1.1.2006 and who were working in the Central Government organizations on re-employment basis as on 1.1.2006, their pay will be fixed in accordance with the provisions of DOPT O.M. No.3/13/2008- Estt.(Pay II) dated 11.11.2008. This O.M. stipulates that re-employed persons who become eligible to elect revised pay structure shall exercise option in the manner laid down in Rule 6 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008 and their pay shall be fixed in accordance with the provisions of Rule 7 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008. In this context, it is clarified that in accordance with the provisions of Rule 7 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008, Department of Expenditure issued fitment tables corresponding to each pre-revised pay scale vide O.M. No.1/1/2008-IC dated 30.8.2008. In the case of those personnel/officers as well, who were re-employed before 1.1.2006 and who were working in the civilian organizations on re-employment basis as on 1.1.2006, their pay will be fixed with reference to the fitment table of the pre-revised civilian pay scale in which they were re-employed and corresponding to the stage in the pre-revised pay scale as on 1.1.2006.
(v) Fixation of pay of personnel officers who retired prior to 1.1.2006 and who have been re-employed after 1.1.2006: In the case of personnel/officers who had retired prior to 1.1.2006 and who have been re-employed after 1.1.2006, their pay on re-employment will be fixed by notionally arriving at their revised
basic pay at the time of retirement as if they had retired under the revised pay structure. This will be done with reference to the fitment table of the Defence Service Rank I Civilian service post (as the case may be) from which they had retired and the stage of basic pay at the time of their retirement. Their basic pay on re-employment will be fixed at the same stage as the notional last basic pay before retirement so arrived at. However, they shall be granted the grade pay of the re-employed post. The maximum basic pay cannot exceed the grade pay of the re-employed post plus pay in the pay band of Rs. 67000 i.e. the maximum of the pay band PB-4. In all these cases, the non-ignorable part of the pension shall be reduced from the pay so fixed.
