No Recovery for coop-Society dues from DCRG







CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL, ERNAKULAM BENCH
Original Application No. 457 of 2009 Tuesday, this the 05th day of April, 2011
CORAM: Hon’ble Mr. K. George Joseph,
Administrative Member M. Nagammal, aged 65 years, W/o. Maran, Door No. 579, Jeevanadham Road, Kallukkadai Medu, Pudumai Colony, Erode-638 001. …..
Applicant (By Advocate – Mr. T.C.G. Swamy) Versus
1. Union of India, represented by the General Manager, Southern Railway, Headquarters Office, Park Town, Chennai-3.
2. The Senior Divisional Personnel Officer, Southern Railway, Palghat Division, Palghat. …..
Respondents (By Advocate – Mr. Sunil Jacob Jose)

This application having been heard on 16.03.2011, the Tribunal on 05.04.11 delivered the following:
ORDER
Hon’ble Mr. K. George Joseph, Administrative Member

The applicant is a widow, the only person eligible to receive all the death benefits of her son, late Jaganathan, who died on 05.11.2005 in an accident while working in the Railway service. She was issued with a pension calculation sheet dated 18.04.2006 as at Annexure A-5 showing the amount of DCRG as Rs. 1,15,479/-. But she was paid only about Rs. 50,000/-. Aggrieved, she has filed this O.A for the following reliefs :

(a) Direct the respondents to pay the death Gratuity as sanctioned in Annexure A-5 and all other death benefits liable to be paid to the applicant consequent upon the demise of her son late Jaganathan with interest calculated at the rate of 12% per annum from 01.06.2006 till the date of full and final settlement of the same;
(b) Award costs and incidental to this application;
(c) Pass such other orders or directions as deemed just, fit and necessary in the facts and circumstances of the case.
2. The applicant contended that the respondents are bound to pay the entire DCRG amount as indicated in A-5 and other death benefits. Non- feasance on the part of the respondents to pay the same is arbitrary and contrary to law. 3. The respondents contested the O.A. In their reply, they submitted that late Jaganathan was a habitual absentee who was removed from service twice in his career for unauthorised absence, but later reinstated in service treating the intervening period as Extra Ordinary leave. On innumerable occasions, he was on unauthorised absence. Even though his span of service extended from 1983 to 2005, his actual qualifying service after deducting the Extra Ordinary Leave for unauthorised absence which are counted as non-qualifying service, comes to 16 years only, based on which the DCRG amount is Rs. 65988/- only. From the above amount, a sum of Rs. 13255/- is to be recovered towards Railway dues which consists of funeral advance, electrical energy, rent and overpayment of pay and further an amount of Rs. 25758/- is to be recovered towards dues to Southern Railway Employees Co-Operative Credit Society, Trichy. Thus, the total amount to be recovered comes to Rs. 39013/-. Afterdeducting the same, the net amount payable towards DCRG comes to Rs.26975/- and the same was paid alongwith other settlement dues amounting to Rs. 26356/-. Based on a wrong notion that the late employee had got qualifying service of 21 years, his DCRG was assessed as Rs. 1,15,479/-. On verification, the qualifying service was found to be only 16 years. Accordingly, his DCRG was estimated as Rs. 65988/-. By an oversight the earlier proposed amount of Rs. 1,15,479/- towards DCRG was left out to be deleted in Annexure A-5. The applicant has no right to claim any additional amount other than what is legally due to her. The O.A is liable to be dismissed.
3. In the rejoinder filed by the applicant, it was submitted that the applicant is not responsible for the mistake alleged to have been committed by the respondents. The period of service not specifically shown as non qualifying in the service records with the acknowledgement of the railway servant concerned cannot be treated as non-qualifying service. The respondents have not shown how they can make the recovery in respect of electrical energy, rent, overpayment of pay and dues towards the Southern Railway Employees Co-Operative Credit Society in the absence of statutory empowerment of respondents to do so.
4. In the reply to the rejoinder, the respondents submitted that the inadvertent omission on the part of the respondents in making necessary corrections in Annexure A-5 will not give the applicant any added advantage for claiming additional benefits other than what is legally due to her. Rule 15 of the Railway Services (Pension) Rules, 1993, authorizes recovery of dues from DCRG.
5. In the additional rejoinder filed by the applicant, it was submitted that arbitrarily reducing the qualifying service as ascertained in Annexure A-5 without giving due notice is unsustainable. In Para 1234 of the Indian Railway Administration and Finance, it is stipulated that the signature of the employees governed by Pension Rules is to be obtained in the service book in token of their having inspected the service books. The recovery as stated by the respondents is impermissible in the absence of any statutory provision.
6. I have heard Mr. T.C. Govindaswamy, the learned counsel for the applicant and Mr. Sunil Jacob Jose, the learned SCGSC, appearing for the respondents and perused the records.
7. Late Jaganathan was an employee governed by the Pension Rules. As per Para 1234 of the Indian Railway Administration and Finance, it is the duty of every Head of Office to initiate action to show the service book to the railway servants governed by pension rules under his administrative control every year and to obtain their signatures therein in token of their having inspected the service books. As per the say of the respondents, late Jaganathan was a habitual absentee. He was removed from service twice in his career for unauthorised absence. Afterwards, considering his appeal he was reinstated in service duly treating the intervening period as Extra Ordinary Leave. Other than Extra Ordinary Leave granted on medical certificates, the appointing authority at the time of granting Extra Ordinary Leave may allow the period of that leave to count as qualifying service if such leave is granted to a Railway servant due to his inability to join or rejoin duty on account of civil commotion or for prosecuting higher scientific or technical studies as per Rule 36 of Railway Services (Pension) Rules, 1993. Therefore, in the case of late Jaganathan, the respondents are justified in not counting his Extra Ordinary Leave for the purpose of pensionary benefits. It is true that his service book does not contain the signature of late Jaganathan in token of his having inspected it. This is a technical infirmity. The respondents have been magnanimous in reinstating a habitual absentee in service on two occasions. If the service book was not inspected by the employee, the blame should be shared by the employee also. The technical infirmity of not having employee’s signature in the service book cannot legitimize counting of unauthorised absence as qualifying service for the purpose of pensionary benefits. The respondents have every right to correct an inadvertent error in calculating the qualifying service of late Jaganathan. The initial error on the part of the respondents will not confer an enforceable right on the applicant to claim additional benefits other than what is legally due to her.
8. The relevant part of Rules 15(2) and 15(4)(ii) of Railway Services (Pension) Rules, 1993, read as follows : “15(2) : The railway or Government dues as ascertained and assessed, which remain outstanding till the date of retirement or death of the railway servant, shall be adjusted against the amount of the retirement gratuity or death gratuity or terminal gratuity and recovery of the dues against the retiring railway servant shall be regulated in accordance with the provisions of sub-rule (4).” “15(4) (ii) : …….It is permissible to make recovery of Government dues from the retirement, death, terminal or service gratuity even without obtaining his consent, or without obtaining the consent of the members of his family in the case of a deceased railway servant.”
9. As per the above rules, any advance, overpayment of pay and allowance, house rent, dues pertaining to Railway accommodation etc. can be recovered from the DCRG of the employee concerned without obtaining his consent. Therefore, the respondents are justified in making recovery of Rs. 13255/- from the DCRG amount of Rs. 65988/-. However, as per 15(3)(c) of the Pension Rules, the amounts payable by a railway servant to Consumer Co-Operative Societies, Consumer Credit Societies and the autonomous organisation may be recovered from the retirement gratuity which has become payable to the retiring railway servant provided he gives his consent for doing so in writing to the administration. In the instant case, the respondents have no case that late Jaganathan had given his consent for recovering the amount payable by him to Southern Railway Employees Co-Operative Credit Society, Trichy. There is no justification or legal basis for recovering the amount of Rs. 25758/- from the DCRG amount of late Jaganathan. The amount unauthorisedly recovered by the respondents towards dues to Southern Railway Employees Co-Operative Credit Society, Trichy, is to be refunded to the applicant. Accordingly, the O.A. is allowed to the extent indicated below.
10. The respondents are directed to pay the applicant an amount of Rs. 25758/- which was recovered unauthorisedly towards dues to Southern Railway Employees Co-Operative Credit Society, Trichy, within a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
11. No order as to costs.

Calculation:
23400x3= 70200
24110x7= 168770 Total= 238970
Average emoluments: 238970/10= Rs.23897
Pension: 50% of Last Pay Drawn i.e. 24110/2=Rs.12055 or 50% of Average
Emoluments i.e. 23897/2=11948.50 i.e. Rs.11949
Therefore, pension shall be which is more beneficial i.e. Rs.12055

Minimum & Maximum Pension
The amount of pension shall be subject to a minimum of Rs.3500/- and maximum upto 50% of highest pay in the Government (The highest pay in the Govt. is Rs.90000 since 1.1.2006).

Examples:- 
a) 33 Years or more Qualifying Service:-
Emoluments: Pay plus Grade Pay plus DA: Rs.20000+5400+4064=Rs.29464
Gratuity= 29464x1/4x66= Rs.486156
b) 22 ½ Years of Qualifying Service i.e. less than 33 years of qualifying service:-
Gratuity=29464x1/4x45= Rs.331470

Death Gratuity

In case of death while in service, the enhanced family pension will be admissible for a period of ten years without any upper age limit.

Minimum and Maximum amount of Family Pension
Family Pension shall be minimum of Rs.3500 per month and maximum of 30% of the highest pay in the Government (The highest pay in the Govt. is Rs.90000 since 1.1.2006.

Commutation of Pension:
Every pensioner is eligible to commute a portion of his monthly pension for a lump sum payment which is the commuted value of that portion of pension. An employee or pensioner against whom departmental or judicial proceedings are pending is not eligible to commute a portion of his pension till completion of such proceedings.

Amount admissible:-
Not exceeding 40% of monthly pension. Any fraction in the amount offered for commutation will be ignored; e.g. if the monthly pension is Rs. 12000 then the maximum amount admissible for commutation is:
Rs. 12000 x 40/100 = Rs.4800.
Commutation Amount is calculated w.r.t the Commutation factor taken from Commutation Table as relevant to the age next birthday.
The formula for working out the lump sum payable is as follows:
Amount of pension offered for Commutation x 12 x Commutation factor

Example: 
Amount of pension offered for Commutation = Rs. 4800
Age next birthday = 61 years
Commutation Factor = 8.194
Lump sum Payable = 4800x 12 x 8.194 = Rs.471974.
The reduction in the amount of pension on commutation will become operative from the date of receipt of the commuted value by the pensioner, or at the end of three months after the issue of authority for payment, whichever is earlier.
The restoration of the commuted portion of pension will be admissible on completion of 15 years, for which the pensioner should apply to the pension disbursing authority i.e., Post office / Bank in the prescribed proforma.

Encashment of Earned leave:
Lump sum cash equivalent of leave salary admissible for the number of days of earned leave at the credit of the employee on the last day of his service, subject to a maximum of 300 days including the number of days for which encashment was availed along with LTC, is granted by the authority competent to sanction leave. The amount of leave encashment payable is worked out in the following manner.

Pay plus Grade Pay plus DA admissible on the date of cessation of service x No. of days of EL at credit
Example: 
Date of Retirement = 31.10.2008
EL at credit = 300 days
Pay plus GP = Rs. 20000
DA = 21%
Lumpsum admissible = (20000+4200)x300/30= 284000 

Benefits payable under CGEGIS:
On retirement the employee will be paid as per the Table of benefits –
(i) lumpsum due to his out of the Savings Fund for entire period of membership in the lowest group; and
(ii) amount due to him for the additional units by which subscription was raised due to promotion – for the period from which the rate was raised, to the date of cessation of membership. `
