Imagining that the Railway servant in question didn’t get a pay reduction
in the last 10 months,
·
His emoluments will be equal to Last Basic
Pay(Pay + GP) = Rs. 25000
·
His Basic Pension ( 50% of emoluments ) = Rs.
12500/-
Now he has two options:
Option 1 : He doesn’t opt for commutation.
·
If the employee doesn’t opt for Commutation he
has get the Basic Pension Rs. 12500 plus applicable DR(Dearness Relief) on
this(65% from 1.1.2012)
Option 2 : He opt for commutation
·
Maximum 40% of the Basic Pension can be
commuted.
·
Commutation amount = Age factor x 12 x (40% of
Basic Pension) = 8.194 x 12 x (40% of 12500) = Rs. 4,91,640
·
(No DA/DR is paid on this and hence DR will be
paid on the full Pension amount monthly)
·
Now for the first 15 years the employee get the
remaining amount pension ie, 60% of 12500 = Rs.7500 (plus DR calculated
on full pension or Rs. 12500).
·
After the expiry of 15 years the employee gets
full pension as that in Option 1
Gratuity
·
Gratuity is calculated as half month emoluments
for every completed year of service subject to a maximum of 33 years.
·
Minimum 5 years service is needed for payment of
Gratuity.
Emoluments for purpose of Gratuity
·
For Doctors : (Pay + GP +NPA )+ DA
·
For other employees :(Pay + GP) + DA
·
For Running Staff : (Pay + GP + 55% as Pay
element of Running staff) + DA
·
Maximum of amount of Gratuity will be 10 Lakhs.
In the illustration above,
·
Service is 35 years, but maximum is 33 yrs.
·
Emoluments (for this purpose includes DA also) =
20400 + 4600 + (65% of 25000) = 41250
·
Hence Gratuity = 16 ½ * 41250 = Rs.6,80,625
Leave encashment
·
Leave encashment upto 300 days (both LAP and
LHAP combined) is permitted.
·
The above employee has 250 LAP and 198 LHAP.
·
So in his case 250 LAP and 50 LHAP (total 300)
will be encashed.
·
Encashed amount of LAP (for 250 LAP) = (Pay + GP
+ DA applicable) / 30 * LAP at credit = (20400 + 4600 + 16250) /30 x 250 = Rs.
3,43,750 /-
·
Encashed amount of LHAP (for 50 LHAP) = (Pay +
GP DA applicable) /2/ 30 * LHAP at credit (subj to overall limit of 300) =
(20400 + 4600 + 16250) /2/ 30 x 50 = Rs. 34,375 /-
·
Total amount of leave encashment = Rs.
2,29,166 /-
Provident Fund
·
Balance at the credit of employee’s SRPF is paid
at the time of his retirement along with interest accrued.
Final settlement money for the above employee
·
Pension commuted = Rs. 4,91,640
·
Gratuity = Rs.6,80,625
·
Leave encashment = Rs. 2,29,166
·
PF Balance = Rs.1,02,345
·
Total settlement amount = Rs. 15,03,776
