Retirement with pension & other benefits

(Querist) 01 January 2013 This query is : Resolved 
Dear Sir,
As per Swamy's hand book and 6th Pay Commission, it is mentioned that after completion of 10 years of continuous service, an central govt. servant will be elegible for full pension and other benefits on his/her retirement. Again at other place ,it is also mentioned that a central govt. servant can opt for Volunteer Retirement with full pension benefits, after completion of his/her 20 years of continuous service.
I am a permanent Central Govt. Officer and completed 14 years 07 months of conti-nuous service on date and recruited under pension benefit scheme. If now I shall opt/go for retirement, can I get full pens-ion and other retirement benefits? If not, should I have to complete 15 years of ser-vice? If not, what are the conditions, I should have to fulfill to get retirement with pension benefits at this stage?
Waiting for your valuable suggestions please.
Thanks & Regards,
Anil Kumar Parida

Have you met your admin what do they say.

As an officer, don't try to read between the lines of rules. Swany's handbook is merely a gist of important rules just for general guidance to make them aware about their rights and responsibilities. For complete awareness about pension rules, you may better read Swamy's compilation of Pension Rules.

For voluntary retirement, you will have to render a minimum service of 20 years to be eligible for pension.

About 10 years rule, suppose some one is compulsorily retired, or has retired at the age of superannuation, but without completing 10 years of service due to his late entry in service (for example, scintists, specialists, or ex-military service people, etc.), he would not be eligible for any pension. So, minimum qualifying service of 10 years is quite necessary for entitlement of pension to any employee.

Further, for full pension minimum 33 years of service is quite necessary. Only prorata pension is admissible on retirement with less than 33 years of service.
