Pension Rule No.50: Average Emoluments

50. Average Emoluments:-

Average emoluments shall be determined with reference to the emoluments drawn by a railway servant during the last ten months of his service.

Note-1:

If during the last ten months of his service a railway servant had been absent from the duty on leave of which leave salary is payable or having been suspended had been reinstated without forfeiture of service, the emoluments which he would have drawn, had he not been absent from duty or suspended, shall be taken into account for determining the average emoluments:

Provided that any increase in pay (other than the increment referred to in Note 3) which is not actually drawn shall not form part of his emoluments.

Note-2:

If during the last ten months of his service, a railway servant had been absent from duty on extraordinary leave, or had been under suspension the period whereof does not count as service, the aforesaid period of leave or suspension shall be disregarded in the calculation of the average emoluments and equal period before the ten months shall be included.

Note-3:

In the case of a railway servant who was on earned leave during the last ten months of his service and earned an increment, which was not withheld, such increment, though not actually drawn shall be included in the average emoluments;

Provided that the increment was earned during the currency of the earned leave not exceeding one hundred and twenty days, or during the first one hundred and twenty days of earned leave where such leave was for more than one hundred and twenty days.
