Rule 6 of the Rules state provisions for calculating qualifying service of a permanent employee who retires, the service rendered with effect from the 1st January, 1959 onwards shall be counted. Further,sub rule 2 of Rule 6 says that if the permanent employee retires without interruption against any regular pensionable post, the service rendered with effect from 1st January, 1959 onwards shall be counted for pension as if such service was rendered in a regular post.
Sub rule 3 of Rule was added by the notification which laid provision such as “A service made before I” January, 1974 on the provisions of any regular pensionable post for any temporary employee, without any interference, provided that such service is not less than six years shall be counted for pension suppose that such a service has been done on a regular basis.”
The recent amendment provides that in sub rule 3, the word ‘before’ has been substituted with the word ‘after.’ Therefore, the amended sub rule 3 of Rule 6 shall be read as, “ A service made after January, 1974 on the provisions of any regular pensionable post for any temporary employee, without any interference, provided that such service is not less than six years shall be counted for pension suppose that such a service has been done on a regular basis.”
