through the Deputy Inspector- General to the Inspector-General for the orders of
the local Government :-
(1) Military service, except service in the Imperial Service Troops, by an employee
belonging to one of the classes mentioned in the note below may count towards
service qualifying for civil pension, when such military service is itself pensionable,
but has terminated before a pension has been earned in respect of it and has
been rendered after the employee has attained the age of 20 years, and provided
he has received no pension or gratuity from the Military Department in respect
of such service.
(2) When any gratuity has been paid in respect of military service, such service can
only count towards civil pension if the gratuity be refunded, such refund to be
made in not more than thirty-six monthly instalments commencing from the
date of completion of verification of military service. In such cases a reference
should be made (for each case separately) to the Accountant-General, Punjab.
When the case has been decided a note shall be made in the character roll and
service book (if any).
Note :- The rule applied to Indian commissioned officers, non-commissioned officers and men of
the Indian Army and to non- combatant departmental and regimental employees and followers
of the supplemental services. It also applies to non-commissioned officers and men of
the British service, warrants officers and departmental officers of the commissary and Army
Service Corps Classes in respect of service with their units or departments in India.
(3) A certificate shall be obtained from the Controller of Military Accounts in whose
audit area the individual served prior to his retirement from military service, showing
whether or not such employee had received any pension or gratuity on discharge from the
army, and whether or not the service rendered was pensionable and paid for from Indian
Revenues or for which a pensionary contribution had been received by Indian Revenue.
The reference to the Controller of Military Accounts should be accompanied with the
sheet roll and the discharge certificate of the individual whenever these are available. He
should also be asked to state whether the service was superior or inferior. This certificate
shall be attached to the character roll of the individual concerned. A copy of the certificate
shall immediately be sent to the Accountant-General.
(4) Indian Army reservists who are permanently appointed to the Police and discharged
from the Army before they have earned a pension under the Military rules may, subject
to the provisions of Article 356, Civil Service Regulations, be allowed to count for Civil
pension all previous military service with the colours and half of their reserve service.
These instructions apply to all Army reservists enrolled in the Police, who retire on or
after the 21st October, 1929, prior to which date reservists were not enrolled in the Police
unless they first obtained their discharge from the reserve.
To be eligible for this concession reservists who have already been confirmed in the Police
and have not taken their discharge from the Army within 12 months from the date of
their confirmation under note 3 to Article 356 of the Civil Service Regulations may do so
by 1st October, 1935. Those who do not take their discharge by that date will draw reservist
pay and count their police service towards military pension and not towards civil
pension until eventually discharged from the reserve, when their service will begin to
count for civil pension. If any such reservist has actually earned a military pension, it
shall not be granted while he continues to serve in the police, - vide Article 526(b), Civil
Service Regulations.
