It said the commuted portion of the pension shall be deducted while making monthly disbursements.
The quantum of additional pension would continue to be 20 per cent of the revised basic if the age of the pensioner or family pensioner is between 80 to less than 85 years, 30 per cent if between 85 to less than 90 years, 40 per cent if between 90 to less than 95 years, 50 per cent if between 95 to less than 100 years and 100 per cent in case age is 100 years or more, the release said.
Pensions would be fixed under the provisions of the Haryana government Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 2016, it said.
The maximum limit of death-cum-retirement gratuity would be Rs 20 lakh. The ceiling on gratuity would increase by 25 per cent whenever the Dearness Allowance rises by 50 per cent of the basic pay, the release said.
