The Andhra Pradesh reorganization Act, 2014
The Eighth Schedule
(See section 59)
Apportionment of Liability in Respect of Pensions
1. Subject
to the adjustments mentioned in paragraph 3, each of the successor States
shall, in respect of pensions granted before the appointed day by the existing
State of Andhra Pradesh, pay the pensions drawn in its treasuries.
2. Subject
to the said adjustments, the liability in respect of pensions of officers
serving in connection with the affairs of the existing State of Andhra Pradesh
who retire or proceed on leave preparatory to retirement before the appointed
day, but whose claims for pensions are outstanding immediately before that day,
shall be the liability of the State of Andhra Pradesh.
3. There
shall be computed, in respect of the period commencing on the appointed day and
ending on such date after the appointed day, as may be fixed by the Central
Government and in respect of each subsequent financial year, the total payments
made to the two successor States in respect of pensions referred to in
paragraphs 1 and 2. The total representing the liability of the existing State
of Andhra Pradesh in respect of pensions and other retirement benefits shall be
apportioned between the successor States on the basis of population ratio and
any successor State paying more than its due share shall be reimbursed the
excess amount by the other successor State paying less.
4. The
liability of the existing State of Andhra Pradesh in respect of pension rolls
granted before the appointed day and drawn in any area outside the territories
of the existing State shall be the liability of the State of Andhra Pradesh
subject to adjustments to be made in accordance with paragraph 3 as if such
pensions had been drawn in any treasury in the State of Andhra Pradesh under
paragraph 1.
5.
1.
The liability in respect of the pension of any officer serving
immediately before the appointed day in connection with the affairs of the
existing State of Andhra Pradesh and retiring on or after that day, shall be
that of the successor State granting him the pension and other retirement
benefits; but the portion of the pension and other retirement benefits
attributable to the service of any such officer before the appointed day in
connection with the affairs of the existing State of Andhra Pradesh shall be
allocated between the successor States on the basis of population ratio, and
the Government granting the pension shall be entitled to receive from the other
successor State its share of the liability.
2.
If any such officer was serving after the appointed day in
connection with the affairs of more than one successor State other than the one
granting the pension shall reimburse to the Government by which the pension is
granted an amount which bears to the portion of the pension attributable to his
service after the appointed day the same ratio as the period of his qualifying
service after the appointed day under the reimbursing State bears to the total
qualifying service of such officer after the appointed day reckoned for the
purposes of pension.
6. Any reference in this Schedule to a pension shall be construed as including a reference to the commuted value of the pension.
