    Khan Market, New Delhi.
    Dated the 14thOctober, 2014
    OFFICE MEMORANDUM
    Subject :- Revision of pension of pre-1996 pensioners - inclusion of Non-
    Practicing Allowance (NPA) for revision of pension of retired medical
    officers w.e.f. 1.1.1996.

    The undersigned is directed to say that in this Department's OM No.45110/98-


    P&PW(A) dated 17.12.1998, it was provided that pension of all pensioners irrespective of
    their date of retirement would not be less than 50% of the minimum of the revised scale of
    pay introduced w.e.f. 1.1.1996. In this Departments OM No.45/3/99-P&PW(A) dated
    29.10.1999, it was clarified that in the case of retired medical officers, Non-Practicing
    Allowance (NPA) was not to be added to the minimum of the revised scale of pay as on
    1.1.1996 for stepping up of the consolidated pension/family pension to 50% / 30%
    respectively, in terms of the OM dated 17.12.1998.

    2. In its judgment dated 27.11.2013 in Civil Appeal No.10640-46/2013 and other

    Health and Family Welfare's OM No.45012/11/97-CHS.V dated 7.4.1998, NPA counts as
    pay for all service benefits including retirement benefits. Hon'ble Supreme Court has further
    observed that clarification issued vide this Department's aforesaid OM dated 29.10.1999 is
    legally unsustainable. Hon'ble Supreme Court has directed to recalculate the pension payable
    to the Applicants (i.e. pre-1996 retired medical officers) by adding the element of NPA. The
    Review Petitions filed by the Government against the above mentioned judgment have been
    dismissed by Hon'ble Supreme Court on 31.7.14.

    3. It has now been decided, in consultation with Ministry of Finance, Department of


    Expenditure and Ministry of Law, Department of Legal Affairs to implement the judgment
    dated 27.11.2013 of Hon'ble Supreme Court in CA No.10640~46 of2013 and other connected
    matters. Accordingly, in the case of pre-1996 retired medical officers, NPA @ 25% shall be
    added to the minimum of the revised scale of pay as on 1.1.1996 corresponding to the pre-
    1996 pay scales from which the pensioner had retired, in cases where consolidated
    pension/family pension was to be stepped up to 50% / 30% respectively of the minimum of
    revised pay-scale in terms of OM No.45110/98-P&PW(A) dated 17.12.1998 read with OM
    No.45/86/97-P&PW(A) (Pt.) dated 11.5.2001.
