North Block, New Delhi - 110001
Dated 8th September, 2009

To
The Chief Secretaries,
All the State Governments/UTs
Subject: - Introduction of New Pension Scheme for Members of the All India
Service joining the All India Service on or after 1/1/2004.
Sir/Madam,
The undersigned is directed to say that the pension of the members of the All
India Services appointed on or after 1.1.2004 is regulated by the new Defined
Contribution Pension Scheme (known as the New Pension Scheme) notified by the
Ministry of Finance (Department of Economic Affairs) vide their O.M. No. 5/7/2003-
ECB 2 PR dated 22.12.2003. On introduction of the New Pension Scheme, the All
India Service (Death Cum retirement Benefit) Rules, 1958 and the All India Service
(Provident Fund) Rules, 1955 were amended on 7.02.2004 & 17th May 2004
respectively. Under the amended Rules, benefits of the old Defined Benefit Pension
Scheme and of GPF are not available to the members of the service appointed on or
after 1.1.2004.
2. The New Pension Scheme will work on a defined contribution basis and will have
two tiers – Tier I and II. Contribution to Tier I will be mandatory for all members of
All India Services joining the All India Service on or after 1/1/2004, whereas Tier II
will be optional and at the discretion of members of All India Service.
3. In Tier I, members of All India Service will make a contribution of 10% of his/her
basic pay plus DA, which will be deducted from his/her salary bill every month by the
2
DTO/TO concerned. The Government will also make an equal matching
contribution..
4. Tier I contributions (and the investment returns) will be kept in a nonwithdrawable
pension Tier I account. Tier II contributions will be kept in a separate
account that will be available for withdrawal at the option of the member of the
Service. Government will not make any contribution to Tier II account.
5. A member of the service can exit at or after the age of 60 years from the Tier I of
the scheme. At exit, it would be mandatory for him/her to invest 40 percent of
pension wealth to purchase an annuity (from an IRDA regulated Life Insurance
Company), which will provide for pension for the lifetime of the employee and his
dependent parents/spouse. In the case of members of the All India Service who
leave the Scheme before attaining the age of 60, the mandatory annuitisation would
be 80% of the pension wealth.
6. Recoveries towards Tier I contribution will start from the salary of the month
following the month in which the member of the service has joined service. No
recovery will be made for the month of joining.
7. As the existing provisions of Defined Benefit Pension and GPF would not be
available to new members of All India Service joining All India Service on or after
1/1/2004, in case any GPF deduction has been made then it would have to be
refunded to the concerned All India Service Officers.
8. Deduction towards Group Insurance will, however, continue to be made from the
salary of new members of the All India Service joining the service on or after
1/1/2004.
9. The State Service officers appointed to the IAS/IPS/IFS by way of
promotion/selection, who are already covered under the old pension scheme will
continue to be governed by the old pension scheme.
3
10. The pension funds of members of the All India Service would be managed by
pension fund managers nominated by the Pension Fund Regulatory Development
Authority (PFRDA) and the records would be maintained by a Central Record
Keeping Agency, the National Security Depository Limited (NSDL).
11. All State governments would be required to designate a State Nodal Officer
(SNO) at the State capital for all NPS related activities. District Treasury Officer
(DTO)/Treasury Officer (TO) would be entrusted the responsibility of deducting the
amount of employee‟s subscription from the salary of the AIS subscriber and would
forward the same to the State Nodal Officer.
12. The amount and contribution details from each of the TO would be
consolidated for all subscribers by the designated State Nodal Officer at the State
capital. The SNO would also compile and consolidate Employers contribution.
13. The designated officer in the State Nodal Office would prepare and upload

recovered but kept elsewhere, then also they must be transferred immediately to the

Government to tax entire salary arrears this year

2008-09-03T00:01:00.000-07:00

NEW DELHI: For lakhs of central government employees looking forward to receiving 40% of the accumulated arrears on their increased salary next month, in time for some festive spending on Diwali and Eid, here’s a dampener. The government has decided to levy tax on the entire amount of arrears—60 % of which will be paid next year—in the current fiscal itself.

For most employees, the decision would virtually wipe out almost the entire amount of 40% arrears to be paid to them this year. Senior bureaucrats will suffer the most as their tax would be topped with a surcharge of 10%, applicable on an income of Rs 10 lakh and above.

A senior finance ministry official said the surcharge to be paid by officers of the rank of joint secretary and above ranges between Rs 24,600 and Rs 52,500. The impact would be less on the lower grades.
