 Dear Sirs/Madam

Pay for the purpose of Pension in terms of  Bank Employees’ Pension Regulations

We have been receiving queries from Banks as to how the average emoluments of employees retired between 1-11-2012 and 31-7-2013 has been arrived at as these employees were governed by the pay scales prevalent during 1-11-2007 to 31-10-2012 and 1-11-2012 onwards during the 10 months preceding their retirement.

The calculation of average emoluments and Basic Pension in respect of the employees retired between 1.11.2012 and 31.7.2013 is as given in Annexure A.  This adjustment is required as the employees who retired from services on or after 1.11.2012, the Dearness Relief they will be getting along with basic Pension shall be the Dearness Relief payable over and above 4440 points in the All India CPI 1960=100.

Yours faithfully,
