அன்புத் தோழர்களே ! வணக்கம் !
 
 ஓய்வுபெறும் ஊழியருக்கு எந்தக் காரணத்தை கொண்டும்  பென்ஷன்  வழங்குவது  காலதாமதம்  செய்யப் படக் கூடாது . அப்படி ஏதேனும்  காரணங்களால்  காலதாமதம் ஆகுமானால்  உடனடியாக அவருக்கு   உரிய  தொகையில்  90%  " PROVISIONAL PENSION" ஆக வழங்கப் பட வேண்டும் .
 
அதே போல 'GRATUITY"  தொகையும் உடனடியாக  வழங்கப் பட  வேண்டும் . அப்படி ஏதேனும்  காலதாமதம் ஆகுமானால் , அந்த தாமத  காலத்திற்கு 'PENAL INTEREST'  வழங்கப் பட வேண்டும் . இந்த" PENAL INTEREST"  தொகை கூட இந்த கால தாமதத்திற்கு  பொறுப்பான  அதிகாரி  அல்லது அலுவலரிடம் அவரது சம்பளத்தில் இருந்து  பிடித்தம் செய்திட வேண்டும் .
