ORDER
In the Government Order read as 1st paper, orders have been issued for revising Pension/Family
Pension and other related benefits of State Government Pensioners and Family Pensioners. Subsequently, in
the G.O. read as paper (2), orders for the provisional revision of pension have been issued.

2. As per para 13.4 of the Government order read as 1st paper, it has been specified interalia
that revision of Pension/Family Pension in respect of those who retired prior to 01.07.2004 will be made by
officers specifically authorised in this regard and that orders in this regard will be issued separately. It has
further been clarified that stepping up of the revised basic pension/Family Pension to 50%/30% of the
minimum of the corresponding revised scale will be sanctioned subsequently after the full details relating to
the pensioners are available and after vetting by the representatives of the Accountant General – vide Para 13
of Government Order read (2). The revision as per Government Order read as 1st paper also required the
Pensioners/Family Pensioners to apply for revision with proof (i.e. copies of sanction orders or certificate
from specified authorities) as regards their claims.

3. Government, after having examined the matter in detail, considering all aspects including the
hardships being faced by the Pensioners/Family Pensioners for obtaining documentary proof of details such
as designation at the time of retirement, corresponding revised scale of pay, Qualifying Service for
pensionary benefits etc., and in consultation with Accountant General are pleased to order that revision of
Pension/Family Pension in respect of those who retired/died before 01.07.2004 will also be made by the
Accountant General as provided in Paras 3 and 4 of the Government Order read (1). This will be done even
in cases where provisional pension has already been fixed and disbursed on the basis of the orders read (2).

4. As per the Government order read (1), Pensioners/Family Pensioners were required to submit
application in Appendix I to the Accountant General through the Treasury Officers/Pension Disbursing
Authorities (PDA). Now that the applicants are no longer required to give proof or certificate regarding
designation, scale of pay and qualifying service at the time of retirement, a new application form (Appendix
6) has been devised and is attached. All Pensioners/Family Pensioners including those who received
provisional pension should apply to the Treasury/Pension Disbursing Authority in this form. Those who
have already applied in the earlier form (Appendix 1) need not apply again. The Treasury
Officer/Bank/Pension Disbursing Authority shall then verify their records and fill up column 24 to 27 of the
forms and certify the same. For applications received in the earlier format (Appendix 1), the
Treasury/Pension Disbursing Authority shall use a blank form in Appendix 6 to fill in the details of Columns
1,2, 24, 25, 26, 27 and Box No.1.
