The
Sixth Central Pay Commission has recommended the introduction of new performance based pecuniary benefit,
over and above the regular salary, for Government employees. The benefit will
be called Performance Related Incentive Scheme (PRIS) and will be payable
taking into account the performance
of the employees during the period under consideration. The recommendation has
been accepted by the Government. Guidelines are being worked out through
inter-departmental consultation.
Rule
16(3) of the All India Services (DCRB) Rules, 1958has been amended on 31st
January, 2012 which provides that the Central Government may in consultation
with the State Government concerned, require a Member of the All India Service
(AIS) to retire from Service in public interest, after giving such Member at
least three month’s previous notice in writing or three month’s pay and
allowances in lieu of such notice-
(i)
After the review when such Member completes 15 years of qualifying Services; or
(ii)
After the review when such Member completes 25 years of qualifying Services; or
(iii)
Attains the age of 50 years, as the case may be; or
(iv)
If the review referred to in (i) or (ii) above has not been conducted, after
the review at any other time as the Central Government deems fit in respect of
such Member.
So
far as Central Government employees are concerned, Government in public
interest may retire any Government Servant after he has attained the age of
50/55 years or after completion of 30 years service by giving him notice of not
less than three months in writing or three months pay and allowances in lieu of
such notice.
