@ [(4) If application for commutation is submitted within a period of one year from the date of retirement of the Government Servant, the commutation shall not be subject to medical certification.

In other cases of commutation of pension, the provisions of rules 8.3 to 8.9 shall be followed.
(5) In the case of premature retirement on medical grounds the requirement of medical examination shall not be waived, even if the application for commutation is submitted within one year of the date of retirement. ]
8.3 (1) The authority competent to sanction commutation shall thereupon accord its administrative sanction in Part III of Form 6 (Pen.) and transmit to the applicant on Form 7(Pen.) a certified copy of the Accounts Officer certificate contained in Part II of Form 6(Pen.) of lump sum payable on commutation in the event of his being reported by the proper medical authority to be fit subject for commutation and one copy of Form 8(Pen.) Part I of which is to be filled in by the applicant before his medical examination and handed to the medical authority.
(2) The sanctioning authority shall further instruct the applicant to appear for examination before the said medical authority within three months from the date of its order, or if he has applied for commutation in advance on the date of his retirement within three months of the date, but in no case earlier than the actual date of retirement.

8.4 The Health Department shall arrange for the medical examination of the applicant by the proper medical authority at the nearest available station to that named by the applicant in Part I of Form 6(Pen.) and as early as possible within the period prescribed and inform the applicant direct. The form and other documents should be transmitted by the Health Department to the examining medical authority.

(3) The medical authority shall without delay forward the completed Form 6 (Pen.) and Form 8 (Pen) in original to the Accounts Officer who gave the certificate contained in Part II of Form 6 (Pen.), regarding the commutation amount admissible to the applicant, and certified copy of the completed Form 8(Pen.) to the sanctioning authority. A certified copy of the medical certificate in Part III of Form 8 (Pen.) should be given to the applicant on the spot after medical examination.
8.6 If the medical examination does not take place within the period prescribed in the sanctioning order, or if the applicant does not appear for examination before the medical authority within the prescribed period, the sanctioning authority may renew administrative sanction for a further period of three months without obtaining a fresh application for commutation of pension. The applicant may withdraw his application, by written notice dispatched at any time before the medical examination is due to take place, but his option shall expire on his appearance before a medical authority; provided that if the medical authority directs that his age for
the purpose of commutation shall be assumed to be greater than his actual age, the applicant may withdraw his application by written notice dispatched within two weeks from the date on which he received intimation of the revised sum payable on commutation, or, if the sum is already stated in the sanctioning order, within two weeks from the date on which he receives intimation of the finding of the medical authority.

* [(b) In cases where a pensioner asks for commutation of pension by applying to the Accounts Officers concerned within one year of his retirement, the commutation will become absolute on the date of application for commutation made to the Accounts Officer and the title to receive the commuted portion of pension will cease on and from that date.]
8.8 If the applicant makes any statement found to be false within his knowledge or willfully suppresses any material fact in answer to any question written or oral put to him in connection with his medical examination the sanctioning authority may cancel the sanction at any time before payment is actually made; and such a statement of suppression may be treated as grave misconduct for the purpose of rule 1.8.
8.9 (1) The Accounts Officer on receipt of the completed Form 6 (Pen.) and 8 (Pen.) shall arrange forthwith for the payment of the appropriate commuted value and for the corresponding reduction of the pension. He shall also forward to the disbursing officer Form 8(Pen.) containing the signature and thumb and finger impressions of non ‑Gazetted Government servants, taken in the presence of the medical authority, with instructions that they should be verified with those received with the pension payment order.
(2) If the applicant on receipt of the sanctioning order withdraws the application within the period prescribed in rule 8.6 he should intimate his intention in writing to the Accounts Officer direct and to the sanctioning authority simultaneously.
(3) The payment of the commuted value shall be made in rupees in Pakistan as expeditiously as possible but in the case of an impaired life no payment shall be made till either a written acceptance of the commutation has been received or the period within which the application for the commutation may be withdrawn has expired, whatever the date of actual payment, the amount paid and the effect upon the pension shall be the same if the commuted value is paid on the date on which commutation became absolute, the amount drawn shall be deducted from the amount payable in commutation.
8.10 If a pensioner, part of whose pension has been commuted, dies on or after the date on which the commutation became absolute but before receiving the commutation value, this value shall be paid to his family or eligible relatives in the same manner as gratuity is payable under rules 4.7 and 4.8.

* [(b) A Government servant retiring after attaining the age of 60 years shall be allowed commuted value of pension as applicable at the age of 60 years instead of 61 years, if he applies for commutation while in service.]
@@ [8.12. (a) The commuted portion of pension to the extent of 1/4th of full pension shall be restored to the pensioners on completion of the number of years for which commuted value is paid.
(b) In restoring the commuted portion of pension under sub-rule (1), the fraction of a year mentioned in the Commutation Table which is less than six months shall be ignored and that of six months or more shall count as one year.
(c) In the case of a pensioner who had surrendered 1/4th of his full pension for gratuity under the rules applicable to him at the time of his retirement, the amount surrendered for gratuity (i.e. 1/4th of full pension) shall be restored on completion of the period for which the gratuity was paid. The rate of gratuity shall be divided by 12 to arrive at the period for which gratuity was paid. For example, if a pensioner had received gratuity at the rate of Rs. 160 for each rupee surrendered, his period of gratuity would work out to 13.33 years.
(d) A pensioner who had surrendered 1/4th of his full pension for commutation and 1/4th for gratuity, shall be entitled to the restoration of commuted portion of his pension only at the expiry of the period for which the commutation was allowed.
Note. The benefit of restoration of 1/4th of full pension surrendered for gratuity or commutation is not admissible in the case of family pension.]
