by

Asim Kumar Sen

In reply to innumerable queries received for the eligibility criteria for second pension option to dismissed or compulsorily retired employees: please look into the BANK (EMPLOYEES') PENSION REGULATIONS ADOPTED BY VARIOUS NATIONALIZED BANKS.


Under the types of pension; there are six categories:-

1. SUPERANNUATION PENSION
2. PENSION ON VOLUNTARY RETIREMENT
3. INVALID PENSION
4. PREMATURE RETIREMENT PENSION
5. COMPULSORY RETIREMENT PENSION
6. COMPASSIONATE ALLOWANCE

RESIGNATION,. REMOVAL/ DISMISSAL/TERMINATION OF SERVICE

In case of dismissal, resignation, removal or termination of service no pension benefit is admissible due to forfeiture of service. However, Compassionate Allowance is granted to an officer who is dismissed or removed from service and in the case deserving special consideration, the Competent Authority sanctions the allowance, not exceeding two-thirds of the pension which would have been admissible to him on the basis of the qualifying service rendered up to the date of his dismissal , removal or termination. The Compassionate Allowance sanctioned, however, shall not be less than the minimum pension.  Commutation is payable only after medical examination by the Govt.  Civil Surgeon/ Bank’s Doctor.

COMPULSORY RETIREMENT PENSION

Compulsory retirement pension is granted to an officer where he is made to retire compulsorily as a measure of penalty by the Competent Authority. Whenever the Competent Authority passes an order (whether original, appellate or in exercise of powers or review) awarding a pension less than the full compensation pension admissible under these Regulations, the Board of Directors shall be consulted before such order is passed.
Commutation is payable only after Medical Examination by the Govt. Civil Surgeon/Bank’s Doctor.

Friends! Briefly speaking, dismissed officers are eligible to get Compassionate Allowance in deserving cases and Compulsorily Retired Officers leaving Bank as a result of penalty are eligible for Compulsory Retirement Pension, as stated above.
