[See paragraph 508]

SCHEME FOR PAYMENT OF PENSIONS OF UTTAR PRADESH GOVERNMENT PENSIONERS BY PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS

(As amended up to March, 1983)

1. INTRODUCTION

THE following paragraphs lay down the procedure to be followed in the matter of disbursement of pension through authorised Public Sector Banks (hereinafter referred to as P. S. Bs.). The Scheme will cover all State Pensioners including All India Service Officers of the State Cadre whether they retire from a post under the State Government or under the Central Government and such other pensioners whose pensions are debitable to the Consolidated Fund of the State. Existing State pensioners who are draw-wing their pension from the treasuries in the Uttar Pradesh, will be given an option to continue to draw their pension from the treasury or to draw pension from any P. S. B. branch. Employees retiring on or after the date from which the scheme is introduced will likewise have the choice to draw their pension from a Treasury or any branch of the authorised P. S. B. in the State.

The pensioners of other State Governments including pensioners in receipt of family pension who are drawing pension from any Treasury/Sub-Treasury in Uttar Pradesh or want to draw pension in Uttar Pradesh shall also be covered by the Scheme, provided the Scheme for payment of pensions through Public Sector Banks is in force in that State in respect of its own pensioners and the facility is extended to pensioners of the Government of Uttar Pradesh drawing or wishing to draw pension in that State.

Note–The scheme applies to payment of pension but does not apply to payment of death-cum-retirement gratuity or to other single payments like exgratia or compassionate allowances for which payments will continue to be made by the Treasury.

2. Pension payments will be automatic, no bill will be required to be submitted. The amount of monthly pension will be credited by the paying branch, selected by the pensioner, to his individual Savings/Current account on the last working day of the month to which the pension relates except in the case of pension for the month of March which shall be paid on or after the first working day of the succeeding month. Every pensioner availing of this facility will open Savings/Current account in his name unless he is already having one.

The account of a pensioner to which his pension is credited should not be allowed to be operated upon by another person by virtue of a power of attorney executed in his favour. In case the pensioner is already having an account and has authorised a power of attorney holder to operate on it as his agent, he should be asked to open a new account in his/her sole name or revoke the mandate in favour of the attorney before the pension is credited to such an account.

Pension will not be paid in cash or through a ‘joint’ or an ‘either or survivor account’.

3. The procedure to be followed at the various stages of the transfer of pension payment work to P. S. Bs., and for the accounting of pension payments is outlined in the following paragraphs:

Initial Action

4.1 Public Sector Banks—Public Sector Banks mentioned in Annexure ‘A’ have been authorised to disburse civil pensions of the Uttar Pradesh Government. Each bank will immediately nominate a link branch at the headquarters of each district for co-ordinating the work connected with the disbursement and accounting of pension payments by its various branches in the dirtrict. The name and address of the link branch will be communicated by Febuary 1, 1979 to the district Treasury Officer concerned and also to the Accountant General in whose jurisdiction treasury falls together with a complete list of other branches in the district and their addresses.

The Public Sector Banks shall indemnify the Uttar Pradesh Government against any wrong payment or over-payment which may be made to the pensioners by executing an indemnity bond in the prescribed Form.

4.2 Treasury—All treasuries and sub–treasuries in the State will take immediate action for renewal of the disburser’s half of the pension payment orders (P. P. Os.) of State Pensioners under their payment, whenever such P. P. Os. are torn or mutilated or exhausted. This action should be completed by February 15, 1979.

On receipt of information regarding link branch and other branches of P. S. Bs., referred to in paragraph 4.1. above, the District Treasury Officer will send by February 15, 1979 a copy of the special seal of the treasury together with his specimen signature (counter-signed by Manager, State Bank of India) to the Manager/Agent of the link branch of each Public Sector Bank by name under registered cover.

4.3. Pensioner—The existing pensioners desirous of drawing their pension from a Public Sector Bank Branch will apply to the Treasury Officer/Sub-Treasury Officer from whom they are receiving pension on or after 1st February, 1979 in the form at Annexure ‘B’ in duplicate.

The Pensioners may, in their own interest, draw pension for February, 1979 and apply for transfer thereafter.

Applications received up to 15th of month will be processed for payment of the pensions pertaining to that month (payable on the first proximo) at the selected branches of the Public Sector Banks. In the case of applications received after 15th of the a month, payment of pension pertaining to that month at the selected P.S. B. branch may be delayed by a few days because of time lag in transit of the P. P. Os.

Future pensioners will indicate their option in the application for pension.

5. The preparatory work indicated in paragraphs, 6 and 7 below should be completed by 25th of February, 1979 by the treasuries and by the last date of the February, 1979 by P. S. Bs. so as to facilitate commencement of pension payments for the month of February, 1979 onwards (and payments of undrawn arrear; if any) by the Public Sector Banks.

O. itself the particular, branch of the Public Sector Bank from which the pensioner has opted to draw the pension. In these cases the Treasury Officer will forward both the halves of the P. P. O. to the link branch of the Public Sector Bank.

6.4. Each District Treasury will make a note in respect of pension payment orders transferred by it to the link branch of each Public Sector Bank (including P. P. Os. received from a sub-treasury for such transfers) in ‘Remarks’ column of the register of pension payment order maintained in Form 51 of Financial Handbook Volume V, Part II. The particulars of pension payment orders will simultaneously be noted in a register to be maintained in form as per Annexure ‘G’ under attestation of the Treasury Officer. If necessary, the particulars may be noted on separate pages for different branches linked to a link branch of a Public Sector Bank.

TRANSMISSION OF P. P. Os. BY LINK BRANCH TO PAYING BRANCH OF P. S. B.

O. and hand over pensioner’s portion of the P. P. O. to him/her after tallying the specimen signature/thumb impression so obtained with that received with the P. P. O.

8.1. The process of identification has been laid down in paragraph 515 of Financial Handbook, Volume V, Part II. This comprises checking of the signature of the pensioner with that available on the disburser’s portion of the P. P. O. and resemblance with the pensioner’s photograph thereon. A new pensioner has also to produce his personal copy of letter of the Accountant General forwarding the P. P. O.

8.2. Such personal identification of the pensioner will be only for the first payment of pension at the paying branch.

8.3. No bill will be required to be submitted by the pensioner for drawing pension at the paying branch. The pension will be paid by the paying branch, after deduction of Income-tax, vide paragraph 8.4. below by credit to the Savings/Current account of the pensioner with the paying branch. Pension will not be paid in cash or through a ‘joint’ or ‘either’ or survivor account. The paying branch will credit the pensioner’s account for the net amount of the pension payable for the month on the last working day of the month to which the pension relates except in the case of pension for the month of March which shall be credited on or after the first working day of April; if, in exceptional cases, the pension payment could not be credited as above, it must be ensured that it is credited as soon thereafter as possible, and in any case not later than the 7th of the month following the month for which pension is due."

"NOTE—The term ‘working day’ shall have the same meaning as given in note 1 below paragraph 97 of Financial Hand book, Volume V, Part I as amended vide correction slip no. 476, dated 26.4.1976. Thus, where the last working day of the month happens to be a bank holiday, the paying branch may credit the pensioner’s account, with the net amount of pension payable, on the preceding working day".

8.4. The paying branch will be responsible for deduction of income-tax at source from the pension payments in accordance with the rates prescribed from time to time. Where such deductions are made, the paying branch will issue to the pensioner, in April each year, a certificate of tax deducted, in the form prescribed in the Income Tax Rules.

8.5. The paying branch will maintain a detailed record of pension payments made by it from time to time in the form prescribed in Annexure ‘D’. Every payment will also be entered on the disburser’s portion of P. P. O. and authenticated by the authorised officer of the paying branch.

8.6. The scrolls will be prepared by the paying branch in quadruplicate in the form prescribed in Annexure ‘D’ except where paying and link branch is the same. In the latter cases, only three copies would be prepared.

The paying branch will send advice of the pension payments to its link branch by 10th of each month, the certificate of payment being recorded on the advice itself. One (Last) copy of the scrolls will be retained by the paying branch for its own record and the remaining copies of the scrolls along with the certificates to be submitted by the pensioners under paragraph 13 below will be sent along with pension payment advice to the link branch.

FUNCTIONS OF THE LINK BRANCH

On receipt of the payment advices and first three copies of the scrolls along with the necessary supporting documents from all the paying branches in the district, the link branch will send, by the 15th of each month, first two copies of the scrolls and the supporting documents along with a summary sheet and a duly stamped receipt acknowledging receipt of the amount from Government on behalf of the pensioners, to the State Bank of India transacting Government business at the district headquarters. The triplicate copy of the scrolls and the payment advices received from the paying branches will be retained by the link branch.

REIMBURSEMENT TO P. S. B. AND SUBSEQUENT ACTION

10. On receipt of the scroll etc from the Public Sector Bank Link Branch, the State Bank of India shall check the scroll to ensure that it is complete in all respects and is accompanied by the relevant certificates in respect of each payment included therein. Thereafter the net amount of pensions disbursed by the Public Sector Bank will be reimbursed to the Public Sector Bank by debit to the Uttar Pradesh Government Account. A copy of the debit advice together with both the copies of the scrolls and other supporting documents received from the link branch will be sent by the State Bank of India to the District Treasury Officer.

NOTE—The branch of the State Bank of India from which the link branch would claim reimbursement will be the one dealing with the treasury which transferred P. P. O. to the Public Sector Bank.

11. The Treasury Officer will check the correctness of the totals while making entry of payments on the copy of P. P. Os. (Disburser’s half) and thereafter incorporate the transactions in his accounts to be submitted to the Accountant General along with the original first copy of the scrolls and related documents. The duplicate copy of the scrolls will be retained in the district treasury.

11.1. The Treasury Officer will be responsible for accounting of gross pensions and deductions towards income-tax while rendering the treasury accounts to the Accountant General.

12. On receipt of the Treasury accounts, the Accountant General will adjust the transaction in the usual manner.

CERTIFICATE TO BE FURNISHED BY THE PENSIONERS

13. Life Certificate—The pensioner would be required to furnish a life certificate once a year in the month of November in the form prescribed in Annexure ‘E (I)’. Officers of the Public Sector Banks or Reserve Bank of India are authorised to give life certificate for this purpose in addition to the officers mentioned in paragraph 518 of Financial Handbook, Volume V, Part II.

13.1. (b) Every pensioner who opts to draw his pension through Public Sector Bank will give undertaking to the paying branch of the Public Sector Bank that he would report the event of his employment in a Government establishment or an establishment paid from a Local Fund, as soon as it occurs. Immediately on receipt of such report from the pensioner the paying branch will seek Government’s orders through the District Treasury Officer before making further pension payments.

13.2. Non-marriage/Re-marriage certificate—In the case of widow recipients of family pension, the certificate of remarriage in Annexure ‘E’ (III) will not be necessary. An undertaking would be obtained from the widow that she will report such an event to the pension disbursing office promptly.

The other recipients of family pension (a widower or unmarried daughter), is required to furnish once a year in December a certificate prescribed in Annexure E (III).

TRANSFER OF PENSIONS

14. Applications for transfer of pensions may fall under any of the following categories:

( i ) transfer from one paying branch to another of the same Public Sector Bank at the same station or in the same district; or

( ii ) transfer from one place to another in a different district.

14.1. Requests falling under category (i) above may be entertained by the Public Sector Bank itself. The paying branch will indicate, on the disburser’s portion of the P. P. O. the month up to which the payment has been made and will thereafter return the disburser’s portion of the P. P. O. to the link branch. On receipt, the link branch will make necessary entries in the register maintained by it in the form in Annexure ‘C’ forward the P. P. O. (disburser’s portion) to the other paying branch, under intimation to the district treasury, for making future pension payments.

14.2. In a case falling under (ii) above, the paying branch will after collecting pensioner’s copy of P. P. O. return through its link branch, both the portions of the P. P. O. to the district treasury officer indicating the month up to which pension payment has been made. On receipt, the district treasury officer will take necessary action for payment of the pension at a branch of a Public Sector Bank or the Treasury/Sub-treasury, as per pensioner’s request.

14.3. To avoid the risk of over payment at the time of transfer, the following certificate may be recorded on the P. P. O. by the paying branch of the Public Sector Bank:—

"Certified that payment of pension up to month of ...............................has been made and that this P. P. O. consists of …..........................continuation sheets for recording disbursement".

14.4. Except as provide for above, the transfer of a pension from one payment point to another will not ordinarily be permitted.

RELIEF TO PENSIONERS

15. Whenever any additional relief on pensions is sanctioned by Government, adequate number of copies of the orders sanctioning this payment along with the ready reckoner relating thereto will be sent by the Uttar Pradesh Government direct to the Central Offices and Regional/Local Head Offices of Public Sector Banks. These offices will in turn make immediate arrangements for supplying copies of these orders to their respective paying branches say within ten days for implementation. Each paying branch will promptly determine the reviced rates of relief on pensions payable to the Uttar Pradesh Government Pensioners under its payment. The calculations of these rates applicable to individual pensioners would be made as in Annexure-H and these will be noted in disburser’s portions of the P.P.Os. along with their effective date(s) under the attestation by the Branch Manager or Incharge before commencing payment of relief at these rates to the sioners, together with arrears, if any, due to them on this account. Copies of orders along with the ready-reckoner will also be forwarded to Reserve Bank of India.

15.1 The statement showing the calculations of the revised rates (Annexure H) will be prepared in quadruplicate. First three copies thereof will be sent by the paying branch to the concerned Treasury Officer (through its link branch) for verification and return, the fourth being retained by it as an office copy. The Treasury Officer will immediately check the calculations shown in the statement and, wherever necessary, indicate, in all the three copies, the correct revised rates of additional relief in ‘Remarks’ column of the statement under his attestation. He will return the original copy of the statement duly checked and attested by him to the paying branch through the link branch within two weeks of its receipt. The duplicate copy will be sent by him to the Account General while the triplicate, would be retained for his record. The corrections, if any, indicated by the Treasury Officer in the ‘Remarks’ column of the verified statement will be noted urgently by the link branch in its related records and it will then pass on that statement to the paying branch for similar action being taken in respect of the disburser’s portions of the PPOs and other concerned records. Thereafter the paying branch will take steps to make subsequent payments to the pensioners at the revised and verified rates and adjust any over/under-payment already made by it on the basis of the revised rates initially adopted for payment as per para 15 above.

15.2 Whenever a paying branch is unable to work out the rates and process the payments arrear according to paras 15 and 15.1 above due to payment of relief arising under old orders which may not be available or in cases where the instructions received are found to be vague or liable to different interpretation, it will prepare a statement in the same form as in Annexure H, but leaving blank Cols. 8 and 9 thereof and send it immediately to the Treasury Officer (through the link branch) for calculating the revised rates of additional relief. The Treasury Officer will work out these rates and fill in Cols. 8 and 9 in all the three copies under his attestation. He will, within two weeks, return the original statement to the paying branch through the link branch, and send the duplicate to the Accountant General, keeping the triplicate for office record. The link branch will transmit, urgently the statement bearing the revised rates to the paying branch after noting the same in its related records. On receipt of the completed statement, the paying branch will also note these revised entitlements in the disburser’s portions of the PPOs under the attestation of the Branch Manager or Incharge and proceed with the payment of relief to the pensioners at the revised rates, including arrears if any, payable to them on that account.

15.3. The enhanced entitlement arising from the sanctioning of additional relief and their effective date(s) may be entered by the paying branch in the pensioner’s pentions of the PPOs, at their request, only after the same are verified/intimated by the Treasury Officer.

15.4. Each link branch will be responsible for ensuring that—

(a) copies of the orders sanctioning additional relief have actually been received by their paying branches; and

(b) payment of additional relief at the revised rates to the pensioners has been commenced by them without any undue delay.

They will also take up with the Treasury Officer cases if any, where the verification or intimation of entitlement of relief at the revised rates has been delayed for more than one month; cases involving delays exceeding three months will be brought to notice of the Accountant General for taking appropriate remedial action with a copy to the Finance Department, Uttar Pradesh Government.

COMMUTATION OF PENSIONS

16. In the case of commutation of a pension, in payment through Public Sector Bank, being sanctioned, the following procedure will be followed for its payment and amendment of the P. P. O.

16.1. On receipt of communication from the Accountant-General sanctioning commutation and indicating the revised rate of pension payable after commutation, the Treasury Officer will forward it, under his seal, to the paying branch through the link branch of the Public Sector Bank for arranging payment. On receipt of the authority, the paying branch will—

(i) arrange immediately payment of the commuted portion of the pension and indicate in the related payment scroll against this item of payment the Accountant General’s letter of authority;

(ii) enter the date of commutation payment and the date from which the reduced pension is payable (as indicated in the commutation sanction) in the disburser’s portion of the P. P. O. (as well as on the pensioner’s portion of the P. P. O. at the earliest opportunity);

(iii) commence payment of reduced pension and simultaneously arrange recovery of excess payment made, if any, to the pensioner; and

(iv) advise the Treasury Officer through link branch the date on which payment of pension was made and the date from which payment of reduced pension has commenced.

The link branch will also make appropriate entries in its records on the basis of such intimation.

ARREARS OF PENSION ON DEATH OF PENSIONER

17. Pension can be drawn for the day of the pensioner’s death. On death of a pensioner the paying branch will receive death certificate of the pensioner and work out any arrears due to the deceased or over-payment, if any, made to him. It will immediately take action to, recover the over payments from the deceased’s account for which Public Sector Banks would have obtained an undertaking from the pensioner as provided in paragraph 8(ii) above. For payment of any arrear to the heir of the deceased pensioner, the Public Sector Bank will seek instructions of the Accountant General through the Treasury

FAMILY PENSIONS

18. The P. P. Os. issued by the Accountant General indicate the entitlement in respect of family pension to the widow/husband consequent on the death of the pensioner. The Treasury Officers are authorised to commence payment of family pension on receipt of death certificate of the pensioner and the application for grant of family pension to her/him in form (Annexure ‘F’). A separate P. P. O. is not issued for this purpose by the Accountant General.

18.1. In the case of pensioners drawing their pension through P. S. B. payment of family pension at the rate indicated in the P. P. O. may be commenced by paying branch on receipt of certificate and application for family pension in form (Annexure ‘F’) along with the pensioner portion of the P. P. Os. The paying branch will enter the date of death of the pensioner in the disburser’s portion of the P. P. O. and also make entries in the pensioner’s portion and in the register in form at Annexure ‘D’.

Payment of family pension will be made by credit savings/current account of the recipient (not a ‘joint’ or ‘either’ or ‘survivor’ Account) which may be opened if the recipient does not already have one. Additionally, an undertaking similar to the one referred to in paragraph 8, will be obtained by the paying branch from the recipient before the family pension is paid.

The paying branch will also advise the Treasury Officer through the Link Branch, the date of the pensioner’s death and commencement of payment of family pension for keeping record under intimation to the Accountant General.

18.2. As earlier mentioned in paragraph 13.2., the paying branch will be responsible for obtaining certificate of re-marriage/ non-marriage from the recipient.

CESSATION OF PENSION

19. When pension cases to be payable to pensioner/recipient of a family pension on death etc., the paying branch will make necessary entries in the P. P. O. and its records and return it to the Treasury Officer through the link branch. The latter will like-wise amend its records. The Treasury Officer shall return the disburser’s half and the pensioner’s half of the P. P. O. to the Accountant General.

MISCELLANEOUS

20. If all the pages for entering monthly payments in the disburser’s portion of P. P. O. get fully used up, the paying branch may add extra sheets with similar columns for noting further payments. A suitable entry will be made by the paying branch on the P. P. O. (disburser’s portion) whenever a continuation sheet is added specifying the number of pages available on the sheet.

21. The accounts, records and registers maintained in the branches of P. S. Bs. making pension payments and also in the link branch shall be open to audit by the Accountant General, U. P., or any person appointed by him in this behalf.

22. With the introduction of this new Scheme, the present restricted facility for collecting pensions through the banks on the presentation of bills to the treasuries will become unnecessary and will be withdrawn.

23. Necessary amendments in Financial Handbook, Volume V, Part II, will be made in due course.
