Referring to para 3(d) of the previous Office Memorandum (Nov 1977), doubts had arisen regarding whether the 'temporary increase in pension' payable from time to time should be deducted from the cash payment of leave salary.

Clarification:

• The 'temporary increase in pension' is also deductible along with standard pension and pensionary equivalent of other retirement benefits from the cash payment worked out.
• These orders take effect from 30th November 1977.
• In cases where the temporary increase has not been deducted, Disbursing Officers must adjust the overpayment and stop further payment.
