OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Fixation of pay of re-employment pensioners.

At present, the orders relating to fixation of pay of reemployed pensioners are scattered in a number of office memoranda issued from time to time. The question of consolidation of the existing orders in a simple body of orders and the rationalization and simplification of the procedure governing the initial fixation of pay has been under consideration of the government from time to time. The President is now pleased to decide that in supersession of all the previous orders on the subject, the initial fixation of pay and other benefits on reemployment of ex-servicemen pensioners as also civilian pensioners will be governed by the Central Civil Services (Fixation of Pay of Reemployed Pensioners) Orders, 1986 as detailed in the Annexure. With reference to all the appointments made on or after the 1st July, 1986, the pay of the reemployed pensioners may be fixed as per the enclosed orders.

In their application to the employees serving in the Indian Audit and Accounts Department, these orders issue in consultation with the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
