6.The higher of the two Formulations i.e. the pension/family pension already revised in accordance with GoI, MoD letter No. 17(01)/2016-D(Pen/Pol) dated 29th October 2016 and modified vide letter No. 17(01)/2017 (01)/D(Pen/Policy) dated 04.09.2017 or the revised pension/ family pension worked out in accordance with Para 5 above, shall be granted to pre- 2016 Armed Force Pensioners as revised Pension/ Family Pension w.e.f. 01.01.2016. In this regard, illustrations of calculation have been given at Annexure-I of the MoD letter dated 05.09.2017.

In cases where pension/ family pension being paid w.e.f. 01.01.2016 in accordance with GoI MoD letter No. 17(01)/2016-D(Pen/Pol) dated 29th October 2016 happens to be more than pension/ family pension as worked out in accordance with Para-5 above, the pension/ family pension already being paid shall be treated as revised pension/ family pension w.e.f. 01.01.2016.

7. The amount so arrived at in terms of Para 6 above will be regarded as revised pension/ family pension with effect from 01.01.2016. Since the revised pension will be inclusive of commuted portion of pension, if any, the amount of pension commuted will be deducted from the said amount while making monthly disbursements from 01.01.2016.

8. Instructions were issued vide GoI, MoD letter No. 1(3)/98/D(Pen/Services) dated 27.5.1998 for revision of pension/ family pension in respect of Commissioned Officers who retired or died prior to 1.1.1986, by notional fixation of their pay in the scale of pay introduced with effect from 1.1.1986. The notional pay so worked out as on 1.1.1986 was treated as average emoluments/ last pay for the purpose of calculation of notional pension/ family pension as on 1.1.1986. The notional pension/ family pension so arrived at was further revised with effect from 1.1.1996 and was paid in accordance with the instructions issued for revision of pension/ family pension in implementation of the recommendations of the 5th CPC. However, in the case of Pre-1.1.1986 retired JCOs/ORs, no such notional fixation of pay was prescribed and revision of their pension was based on pension tables provided vide GoI, MoD letter No. 1(2)/98/D(Pen/Services) dated 14.7.1998.

9. Accordingly, for the purpose of calculation of notional pay as on 01.01.2016, in case of all Pre-01.01.2016 JCOs/ ORs who retired or died before 01.01.2016, the actual pay and the pay scale from which they retired or died would be taken into consideration for the purpose of calculation of the notional pay as on 01.01.2016 in accordance with Para-3 above. Their notional pay in various subsequent Pay Commissions from date of retirement/discharge/ death will be done by the ROs (Record Offices) concerned and verified by respective PAOs. This will be done by notional pay fixation under each intervening Pay Commission based on the formula for revision of pay according to the Govt. orders on the subject issued from time to time.

10. Upper ceiling of pension/ family pension

The minimum pension with effect from 01.01.2016 will be Rs 9000/- per month (excluding the element on additional pension to old pensioners). The upper ceiling on pension/ family pension will be 50% and 30% respectively of the highest pay in the Government. (The highest pay in the Government is Rs. 2,50,000/- w.e.f. 01.01.2016). Further, this maximum ceiling limit will not apply in case of casualty pensionary awards like Special Family Pension, Liberalised Family Pension, Disability Pension, Liberalised Disability Pension and War Injury Pension etc. which may be more than Rs. 1,25,000/-.

11. The pension/ family pension as worked out in accordance with provisions of Para 6 above shall be treated as Basic Pension with effect from 01.01.2016. The revised pension/ family pension includes Dearness relief sanctioned from 01.01.2016 and shall qualify for grant of Dearness Relief sanctioned thereafter.

12. The existing instructions regarding regulation of Dearness relief to employed/ re- employed pensioners/ family pensioners, as contained in GoI, MoD letter No. 7(1)/95/ D(Pen/Services) dated 28.8.2000 and Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare OM No. 45/73/97-P&PW(G) dated 02.07.1999, as amended from time to time, shall continue to apply.

Applicability of Permanent absorbees in PSUs/Autonomous Bodies:-

However, separate orders will be issued for revision of pension of those pensioners who had earlier drawn one time lump sum terminal benefits on absorption in Public Sector Undertakings etc., and are drawing 43% / 45% restored pension in case of Commissioned Officers and JCOs/ORs respectively as per the instructions issued by this Ministry from time to time.

14. In cases where, on permanent absorption in Public Sector Undertakings/ Autonomous Bodies, the terms of absorption and/ or the rules permit grant of family pension under the orders issued by the Ministry of Defence, the family pension being drawn by the family pensioners or already sanctioned in her favour shall also be updated in accordance with these orders.

15. Additional Pension for pensioners/ family pensioners of 80 years age and above The quantum of age-related pension/family pension available to the old pensioners/ family pensioners shall continue to be as follows:-

Age of pensioner/ family pensioner	Additional quantum of pension
From 80 years to less than 85 years	20% of revised basic pension/ family pension
From 85 years to less than 90 years	30% of revised basic pension /family pension
From 90 years to less than 95 years	40% of revised basic pension /family pension
From 95 years to less than 100 years	50% of revised basic pension /family pension
100 years or more	100% of revised basic pension /family pension

The amount of additional pension shall be shown distinctly in the pension payment order. For example, in case, where a pensioner is more than 80 years of age and his/ her revised pension is Rs 10,000 pm, the pension shall be shown as (i) Basic pension= Rs.10,000 and (ii) Additional pension= Rs 2,000 pm. The pension on his/ her attaining the age of 85 years shall be shown as (i) Basic Pension= Rs 10,000 and (ii) additional= Rs.3,000 pm.
