3-A. Eligiblity.
|
(1) |
(a) |
Disablement shall be accepted as due to Government service, provided that it is certified that it is due to wound, injury or disease which - |
||
|
(i) |
is attributable to Government service, or |
|||
|
(ii) |
existed before or arose during Government service and has been and remains aggravated thereby. |
|||
|
(b) |
Death shall be accepted as due to Government service provided it is certified that it was due to or hastened by - |
|||
|
(i) |
a wound, injury or disease which was attributable to Government service, or |
|||
|
(ii) |
the aggravation by Government service of a wound, injury or disease which existed before or arose during Government service. |
|||
|
(2) |

|||

|
(b) |
death and Government service, |

||||
Clarification. - It will be seen from the new (revised) Forms 'C', 'D' and 'E' that these forms of medical certificates have been so designed that they would indicate whether the entitlement criteria laid down in new Rule 3-A have been satisfied or not, and therefore, normally, no other separate certificates in that behalf may be necessary. It is essential for the Administrative Officer as well as the Audit Office (PAO) concerned to satisfy themselves that the death/disability is, in fact, attributable to or aggravated by the Government service which alone makes an EOP Award admissible and for that purpose, it is essential for both of these authorities to satisfy themselves in that behalf and certify the nexus and causal connection between disablement and Government service or between death and Government service (as the case may be), in any particular case, as laid down in the new Rule 3-A on the basis of the medical and other documents regarding the case. If a Government servant had died in such circumstances and that a medical report could not be secured, even then, the nexus and the casual connection between death and Government service has to be established before conceding acceptance of death due to Government service.
[G.I., M.H.A. (Dept. of Per. & A.R.), O.M. No. F. 23 (9)-E. V (A)/79, dated the 28th November, 1980.]

In case the appeal is accepted and a review Medical Board is constituted, the findings of the Board would be binding on all parties.
The extent of disability as determined and accepted would be treated as final and the employee would not be required to appear before Medical Board periodically for the purpose of obtaining a certificate that the disability continues to persist.

Different department and offices shall have the powers to grant disability family pension covered under the Government orders and instructions issued on the subject. They shall exercise these powers, wherever necessary, in consultation with the Financial Advisers. Only in cases not covered strictly in terms of the Government guidelines and instructions, reference to Department of Pension and Pension's Welfare shall be made.
6. These orders will be effective from 1-1-1996. The past cases of pre-1996 pensioners/family pensioners will be revised under this Dept's O.M. No. 45/86/97-P. & P.W. (A)-Part-II, dated 27-10-1997.

[ G.I. Dept. of P. & P.W., O.M. No. 45/22/97-P. & P.W. (C), dated the 3rd February, 2000. ]
(2) Appointing authorities competent to sanction awards in clear cases and where there is no disagreement. - It has been decided to delegate powers to Appointing Authorities to sanction awards under the relevant Extraordinary Pension Rules in those cases in which the proposed pension or gratuity is held to be clearly admissible under Rules, i.e., where there is no disagreement between the Accounts Officer and the Appointing Authority as regards the admissibility of the awards or the amount admissible.
In cases where the President is the Appointing Authority the powers already delegated will continue to be exercised by the Administrative Ministries and the Comptroller and Auditor-General.
Cases which are not clearly covered by the Rules or where there is disagreement between the various authorities mentioned above, or wherein award is proposed to be granted on ex gratia basis, should, however, continue to be referred to the Ministry of Finance as usual.
[G.I., M.F., O.M. No. F. 19 (18)-E. V (A)/66, dated the 26th February, 1966.]
(3) Award only under EOP Rules in cases covered under both the Pension Rules. - Family Pension to the families of Government servants governed by the Family Pension Scheme, 1964 [Rule 54 of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972] as well as the CCS (EOP) Rules whose death is accepted as due to Government service as defined in the latter rules, would be paid under the CCS (Extraordinary Pension) Rules and not under this Scheme. In other words, they will not be entitled to benefits under the said Scheme in addition.
[G.I., M.F., O.M. No. F. 19 (18)-E. V (A)/65, dated the 9th September, 1965.]
(4) Appeal against the findings of a Medical Board who examined a Government servant for the purpose of grant of wound or other extraordinary pensions. - The question of admitting appeals of Government servants against the decision of the Medical Board who examined them for the purpose of grant of wound or other extraordinary pension under the relevant extraordinary pension rules, has been receiving the attention of Government for some time. After careful consideration, the Government have decided the following procedure may be followed in this regard :-
(i)
The findings of the examining Medical Board should be made known to the Government servant concerned as soon as possible after the receipt of the medical report by the Head of the Office/Department. The Government servant concerned should, if he desires to appeal against such decisions, do so together with requisite evidence in support of his case within one month from the date on which the findings of the Medical Board were made known to him. Ordinarily there is no right of appeal from the findings of an examining medical authority but if Government are satisfied on the evidence placed before them by the Government servant concerned, of the possibility of an error of judgment in the decision of the examining medical authority, it will be open to them to allow re-examination by a second Medical Board.
(ii)
If any medical certificate is produced by the Government servant as a piece of evidence about the possibility of an error of judgement in the decision of an examining medical authority who had examined him in the first instance, the certificate will not be taken into consideration unless it contains a note by the medical practitioner who gave the certificate to the effect that it has been given in full knowledge of the fact that the person concerned has already been examined by a Medical Board who have given their opinion as to the injury/disease in respect of which the Government servant had applied for extraordinary pension.
(iii)
The expenditure incurred in assembling the Review Board shall be borne by the Government, provided that the Government servant shall be required to pay a prescribed fee which shall be refunded if his appeal is upheld by the Review Board.
(iv)
To ensure uniformity of procedure, all appeals shall at first be referred to the Ministry of Health who shall advise on the evidence produced as to whether there is an error of judgement on the part of the examining Medical Board who first conducted the Medical examination and whether the appeal should be accepted or not and if accepted, by whom such re-examination should be conducted.
[G.I., M.F., O.M. No. F. 19 (2)-E. V (A)/64, dated the 2nd June, 1965.]
(5) Procedure in regard to the grant of extraordinary pension in respect of State Government servants on deputation to the Central Government and vice versa. - The procedure in regard to the grant of extraordinary pension in respect of State Government servants on deputation to Central Government and vice versa has not been uniform so far. The position has, therefore, been reviewed in this regard and it has been decided that the following procedure should be followed in the matter in future :-
(i)
The grant of extraordinary pension/gratuity should be regulated in accordance with the rules of the borrowing Government in respect of Government servants receiving injuries or dying during the period of deputation.
(ii)
The liability for such an award should be that of the borrowing Government.
(iii)
The Union Public Service Commission or the State Public Service Commission should be consulted according as the borrowing Government is the Central Government or the State Government except when the borrowing Government is the Government of Jammu and Kashmir. No consultation with the State Public Service Commission would be necessary in the extraordinary pension cases of Central Government officers deputation to the State of Jammu and Kashmir.
(iv)
The sanction for the grant of such an award should be issued by the borrowing Government after usual consultation with the Accounts Officer.
2. The procedure prescribed in sub-para. (i) above should be deemed to be relaxed in cases where the extraordinary pension rules of the borrowing Government are found to be less advantageous. Such cases should be dealt with in relaxation of the rules of the borrowing Government so as to allow the Government servants concerned or the members of their families the benefits admissible under the rules of the lending Government. In such cases the borrowing Government should forward a casualty report and statement of case together with connected documents to the lending Government who will obtain a report from the Accounts Officer concerned. On receipt of an Audit report, the lending Government will forward the same along with the relevant documents to the borrowing Government for consultation with their Public Service Commission, when necessary, and issue of necessary sanction. While sending these documents, the lending Government should also state whether they agree with the report of the Accounts Officer and in case of disagreement they should state reasons for the disagreement giving their views as to the admissibility and quantum of award.
3. The decisions contained in the above paragraph shall also apply mutatis mutandis in respect of Government servants of the Posts and Telegraphs, Railways and Defence Departments on deputation to the other Departments of the Central Government and vice-versa and these three Departments shall be treated as separate Governments for the purpose of these orders.
4. These orders do not apply to the State Government servants on deputation from the State of UP to the Central Government and vice versa. These orders also do not apply to All India Services Officers.
[G.I., M.F., O.M. No. F. 19 (23)-E. V (A)/64, dated the 2nd August, 1965.]
(6) Ex gratia payment to families of Government servants travelling by service aircraft and dying in accidents. - The death of a Government servant as a result of an accident, while travelling by air on duty, is treated as being due to 'special risk of office' for the purposes of Central Civil Services (Extraordinary Pension) Rules. His family is in that event entitled to the pension and gratuity admissible under those rules. If death occurs while travelling by a commercial plane operated by the Indian Airlines Corporation, the family is likely to receive an ex-gratia payment from the Corporation. No such cover is, however, available if the death occurs in an accident while travelling on duty by service aircrafts. The question of giving compensation in such cases has been under the consideration of the Government. It is felt that the benefits to the families of Government servants involved in fatal accidents, while travelling as passengers and members of the crew by service aircraft in the course of the performance of their official duties, should be on par with those available to the families of similar personnel travelling by IAC planes as fare paying passengers. It has, therefore, been decided that the families of such personnel may be given an ex-gratia payment at a uniform rate of Rs. 5,00,000 in addition to the benefits admissible under the Extraordinary Pension Rules. This payment would be of a purely ex-gratia nature. It will be sanctioned in each case with the concurrence of the Ministry of Finance.
The grant of the aforesaid ex-gratia payment will be without prejudice to the bond required to be executed by civilian Government servants indemnifying Government against any claims on account of death, etc., while in flight by service aircraft.

(7) Revision of Disability Pension/Family Pension of Pre-1996 Pensioners, In para 6 of O.M. 45/22/97-P & P.W. (C), dated the 3rd February, 2000 (Decision (1) above), it has been provided that the past cases of pre-1996 pensioners/family pensioners will revised under this Department's OM, dated 17-12-1998.
2. The question of modified parity between past and present pensioners, covered under the Central Civil Services (Extraordinary Pension) Rules/Liberalized Pensionary Award Scheme, on the lines of benefits sanctioned for ordinary pensioner/family pensioners, has been under the consideration of the Government. It has now been decided that the revision of pre-1996 pensioners/family pensioners coming under this category would be done as under.
(A) The past cases of pre-1996 pensioners/family pensioners will be revised under this Department' O.M No. 45/86/97-P & P.W. (A) (Part-II), dated 27-10-1997 as is being done hithertofore and the revised pension on the basis of the provisions of this OM worked out.
(B) The benefits under this Department's O.M. No. 45/86/97-P. & P.W. (A) (Part-III), dated 10-2-1998 shall also be extended in the case of pensioners/family pensioners of these categories. In other words, the pay of the employee would be updated from one Central Pay Commission to the subsequent one, etc., and fixed notionally as on 1-1-1986, as if he was in service on that day, as per the procedure laid down in the OM, dated 10-2-1998. The pension/family pension on such notionally fixed emoluments would now be calculated by applying the rates applicable for each category of Extraordinary Pension/Family Pensioners and this would be further consolidated for fixation of pension as on 1-1-1996 by applying the usual procedure.
(C) The pension/family pension shall also be calculated as on 1-1-1996 by applying the following procedure.
1. Family pension for Categories "B" & "C'
(a)
Where the deceased Government servant was not holding a pensionable post:
40% of minimum basic pay in the revised scale, applicable from 1-1-1996, of the post last held by the employee, subject to a minimum of Rs. 1650.
(b)
Where the deceased Government servant was holding a pensionable post :
60% of minimum basic pay in the revised scale, applicable from 1-1-1996, of the post last held by the employee, subject to a minimum of Rs. 2500.
In case where the widow dies or remarries, the children shall be paid family pension at the rates mentioned at (a) or (b) above, as applicable, and the same rate shall also apply to fatherless/motherless children. In both cases, family pension shall be paid to children for the period during which they would have been eligible for family pension under the CCS(Pension) Rules. Dependent parents/brothers/sisters, etc., shall be paid family pension one-half the rate applicable to widows/fatherless or motherless children.
II. Family Pension under categories 'D' & 'E'
Family pension shall be calculated as the minimum pay in the revised scale of pay, applicable from 1-1-1996, of the last post held by the employee.
(a)
If the Government servant is not survived by his widow but is survived by child/children only, all children together shall be eligible for the family pension at the rate of 60% of minimum basic pay in the revised scale, applicable from 1-1-1996, of the post held by the employee, subject to a minimum of Rs. 2,500.
(b)
When the Government servant dies as a bachelor or as a widower without children, dependent pension will be admissible to parent without reference to pecuniary circumstances, at the rate of 75% of minimum basic pay in the revised scale applicable from 1-1-1996, of the post last held by the employee, if both parents are alive and at the rate of 60% if only one of them is alive.
III. Disability Pension for Categories 'B' & 'C'
(a)
Disability pension calculated as 50% of the minimum basic pay in the revised scale, applicable from 1-1-1996, of the post last held by the employee, to be reduced proportionately, if the employee did not have required qualifying service for full pension plus disability pension equal to 30% of the same minimum basic pay, for 100% disability.
(b)
For lower percentage of disability, proportionate reduction would be made in the same manner as provided in the OM, dated 3-2-2000. [Decision (1) above. ]
IV. Disability Pension for Category 'D'
(a)
Disability pension would comprise of a service element equal to 50% of the minimum basic pay in the revised scale, applicable from 1-1-1996, of the post last held by the employee subject to proportionate reduction in case his qualifying service up to the deemed date of retirement falls short of full qualifying service and disability element equal to 30% of the same minimum basic pay, subject to the condition that the aggregate of service and disability element shall not be less than 80% of the minimum basic pay in the revised scale, applicable from 1-1-1996, of the post last held by the employee, for 100% disability.
(b)
For lower percentage of disability, proportionate reduction shall be made as provided in OM, dated 3-2-2000. [Decision (1) above.]
V. Disability Pension for cases under Category 'E'
(a)
Disability pension would comprise of a service element equal to 50% of the minimum basic pay in the revised scale applicable from 1-1-1996 of the post last held by the employee subject to proportionate reduction in case his qualifying service up to the deemed date of retirement falls short of full qualifying service and a disability element equal to the same basic pay, subject to the condition that the aggregate of service and disability elements shall not exceed the minimum basic pay in the revised scale, applicable from 1-1-1996, for the post last held by the employee, for 100% disability.
(b)
For lower percentage of the disability, proportionate reduction would be made as provided in OM, dated 3-2-2000. [ Decision (1) above ].
3. After the revised pension/family pension has been calculated in accordance with the methods indicated in (A), (B) and (C) above, the highest of the three shall be granted as revised pension with effect from 1-1-1996.
4. All other terms and conditions contained in OM, dated 3-2-2000 [Decision (1) above ] shall remain unchanged.
5. This issues with the concurrence of the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure vide their U.O. No. 355/E. V/2001, dated 26-6-2001.

GUIDELINES FOR CONCEDING ATTRIBUTABILITY OF
DISABLEMENT OR DEATH TO GOVERNMENT SERVICE
[ Ref. Rule 3-A (2) ]
1. Rule 3-A covers also cases of death after discharge/invaliding from service.
2. In deciding on the issue of entitlement, all the evidence (both direct and circumstantial) will be taken into account and the benefit of reasonable doubt will be given to the claimant. This benefit will be given more liberally to the claimant in field service cases.
3. Post-discharge claims. - Cases in which a disease did not actually lead to the Government servant's discharge from service but arose within 7 years thereafter may be recognized as attributable to service, if it can be established medically that the disability is a delayed manifestation of a pathological process set in motion by service conditions obtaining prior to discharge and that if the disability had been manifest at the time of discharge, the individual would have been invalided out of service on this account. In cases where an individual in receipt of a disability pension dies at home, and it cannot, from a strictly medical point of view, be definitely established that the death was solely due to the disablement in respect of which the disability pension was granted -
(a)
the benefit of doubt in determining attributability, should go to the family of the deceased, if death occurs within 7 years from the date of his invalidment from service, unless there are other factors adversely affecting the claim ; and
(b)
if death takes place more than 7 years after the date of the man's invalidment from service, the benefit of doubt will go to the State.
In cases where an individual outlives a normal span of life, i.e., where death takes place at the age of 60 or above, the death should be held to be due to normal causes and not to Government service.
NOTE. - Death of a disability pensioner, whose disablement has been accepted on the basis of aggravation, may also be accepted as due to Government service under Rule 3-A (1) (b) if the last assessment of disablement was 50 per cent, or above. If the last accepted assessment of disablement was less than 50 per cent, death should not be regarded as due to service.
The above procedure will apply when death is established as due to the disability in respect of which disability pension was granted. If this is not the case, the identification of the cause of death with the invaliding disability will first be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Guidelines. If the identity can be conceded there under, the procedure in the preceding sub-paragraph will be followed for determining the further point whether entitlement to extraordinary family pension can be conceded in a case where on invaliding disability was aggravated by service.
4.
(a)
(i)
Injuries sustained when the man is 'on duty' will be deemed to have arisen in, or resulted from, Government service ; but in cases of injuries due to serious negligence or misconduct, the question of reducing the disability pension will be considered.
(ii)
In cases of self-inflicted injuries while on duty, attributability will not be conceded unless it is established that service factors were responsible for such action ; in cases where attributability is conceded, the question of grant of disability pension at full or at a reduced rate will be considered.
(b)
A person subject to the disciplinary code of the Central Armed Police Battalions, is 'on duty' -
(i)
When performing an official task or a task, failure to do which would constitute an offence, triable under the disciplinary code, applicable to him.
(ii)
When moving from one place of duty to another place of duty irrespective of the method of movement.
(iii)
During the period of participation in recreation, organized or permitted by service authorites, and during the period of travelling in a body or singly under organized arrangements.
(iv)
When proceeding from his duty station to his leave station on returning to duty from his leave station at public expenses, that is, on Railway warrant, on cash TA (irrespective of whether Railway warrant/cash TA is admitted for the whole journey or for a portion only), in Government transport or when road mileage is paid for the journey.
1(v)
When journeying by a reasonable route from one's official residence to and back from the appointed place of duty irrespective of the mode of conveyance, whether private or provided by the Government.
Superscript 1 means Substituted by G.I., Dept. of P. & P.W., O.M. No. 33/1/89-P. & P.W. (K), dated the 22nd January, 1992.
(c)
An accident which occurs when a man is not strictly 'on duty' as defined above, may also be attributable to service, provided that it involved risk which was definitely enhanced in kind or degree by the nature, conditions, obligations or incidents of his service and that the same was not a risk common to human existence in modern conditions in India. Thus, for example, where a person is killed or injured by someone by reason of his belonging to an Armed Police Battalion (and in the course of his duty in such service, he had incurred wrath of such person) he shall be deemed to be 'on duty' at the relevant time.
This benefit will be given more liberally to the claimant in cases occurring on 'active service' as defined in the relevant Acts/Rules (e.g., those applicable to BSF/CRPF, etc., Personnel).
NOTE 1. - (a) Personnel of the Central Armed Police Battalions participating in (i) local/national/international sports tournaments as member of service teams, or (ii) mountaineering/gliding expeditions organized by the service authorities, with the approval of Government, will be deemed to be 'on duty' for purposes of the entitlement rules of disability and family pension.
(b) The above personnel participating in the above-mentioned sports tournaments or in privately organized mountaineering expeditions or indulging in gliding as a hobby, in their individual capacity, will not be deemed to be 'on duty' for purposes of those rules, even though prior permission of the competent service authorities may have been obtained by them.
(c) Injuries sustained by the above personnel in impromptu games and sports outside parade hours, which are organized by, or with the approval of, the local service authority, and deaths arising from such injuries will be regarded as having occurred while 'on duty' for purposes of these rules.
NOTE 2. - The above personnel deputed for Training Courses conducted by the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, Darjeeling, or other similar recognized institutes, shall be treated on par with personnel attending other authorized professional courses or exercises for the services for the purpose of the grant of disability/family pensions on account of disability/death sustained during the courses.
5. In respect of diseases, the following rules will be observed :-
(a) Cases, in which it is established that conditions of Government service did not determine or contribute to the onset of the disease but influenced the subsequent course of the disease, will fall for acceptance on the basis of aggravation.
(b) A disease which has led to an individual's discharge or death will ordinarily be deemed to have arisen in service if no note of it was made at the time of the individual's acceptance for Government service. However, if medical opinion holds, for reasons to be stated, that the disease could not have been detected on medical examination prior to acceptance for service, the disease will not be deemed to have arisen during service.
(c) If a disease is accepted as having arisen in service, it must also be established that the conditions of Government service determined or contributed to the onset of the disease and that the conditions were due to the circumstances on duty in Government service.
(d) In considering whether a particular disease is due to Government service, it is necessary to relate the established facts, in the a etiology of the disease and of its normal development, to the effect that conditions of service, e.g., exposure, stress, climate, etc., may have had on its manifestation. Regard must also be had to the time factor (Also see Schedule I-A).
(i)
Common diseases known to be affected by exposure to weather
Diseases such as Bronchitis, Rheumatism and Nephritis - indeed most diseases of the respiratory system, joints and kidneys - are affected by climatic conditions. The period and the conditions of service at any particular place should be taken into account in determining causal connection with service.
(ii)
Common diseases known to be affected by stress and strain
This should be decided with due reference to the nature of the duties which the individual has had to perform in Government service. It may be that in some cases the individual had been engaged on sedentary duties, when they will normally not qualify.
(iii)
Diseases endemic to certian areas
Diseases such as Malaria, Kalazar, Filariasis, Dysentery, Cholera, etc., are endemic in certain ares. These diseases may also be introduced by movements of infected persons.
In determining causal connection with service, it will have to be established that the conditions of Government service exposed the individual to the infections as a result of which he contracted the disease. Where there is medical evidence of the contraction of the diseases either prior to entry into service, or while off duty or on leave or desertion or unauthorized absence, etc., attributability should not be accepted, unless the disease occurs within the incubation period.
(iv)
Diseases due to infections in service
Entitlement to pension will be admitted if the exposure to infection arose from the circumstances of the member's Government service.
(v)
Diseases known to be affected by dietary compulsions
The compulsions of service would also cover such cases as gastric disorders, e.g., gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, where it is established that the member was unable to follow a dietary regime required for his condition. The effect of service in such cases will be limited essentially to the question of aggravation of a pre-existing constitutional condition. This will not normally apply to individuals in sedentary occupation.
(vi)
Diseases which run their course independently of external circumstances
There are certain diseases which would have run the same course whether the individual had been in Government service or not, e.g., Leukaemia, Hodgkin's disease, etc. (See Part II of Schedule I-A). Such cases will not be accepted as aggravated by service unless it is clear that owing to exigencies of service, the man did not receive treatment of a satisfactory character and standard or such treatment was so delayed, as to be less effective than it should have been.
(vii)
Venereal Diseases
(1) Venereal disease will normally be rejected but a sequela of the disease may sometimes be accepted as aggravated by service. In the case of such disease contracted during service, grounds for acceptance will rarely be found unless the member after treatment had returned to full duty and had been subjected to such strain as would produce one of the after effects of the disease sooner than would have normally been the case. The strain must have been of an exceptional nature.
(2) In the case of disease contracted before service if the member had reached an age when such a manifestation could be accepted, entitlement will not be conceded. On the other hand, if the later manifestation had been produced or hastened by the strain of service in which case there should be evidence that the strain was of an exceptional nature, entitlement may be considered on the basis of aggravation.
(3) In the case of disease due to heredity, entitlement must be determined as in Para. (2) above.
(4) The above refers only to late manifestations or sequela of venereal disease as Neuro Syphilis or Cardio-vascular syphilis.
(viii)
Invalidation on account of indulgence in drugs or drinks
Entitlement shall not be conceded if the disability or death on which the claim is based, resulted from indulgence in drugs or drinks which was within one's own control.
6. Unforeseen effects of service medical treatment . -
(a) Whether unforeseen complications arise as a result of treatment (including operative treatment) given for the purpose of rendering a member fit for service duties, any disablement resulting will normally be accepted as attributable to service.
(b) Where the treatment is given for other reasons, the position regarding any unforeseen complications differs according as the condition which necessitated treatment was or was not, either attributable to or aggravated by service. If it was so attributable or aggravated, any disablement resulting from the treatment, it will normally be accepted as attributable to service. If it was not, no responsibility will be accepted for the additional disablement unless neglect, delay, faulty technique or lack of reasonable skill can be held responsible for the untoward outcome, or the exigencies of service before, during or after the treatment can be held to have caused or aggravated the condition.
(c) The above considerations apply whether the treatment is given in a service hospital or under service arrangements in any other hospital but will not apply if the treatment, is undertaken under private arrangement by an individual.
7. Assessment. -
(a) The assessment of a disability is the estimate of the degree of disablement it causes, which can properly be ascribed to service as defined below.
(b) The disablement properly referable to service will be assessed as under -
(i)
At the time of discharge from the Government service* -
Superscript * means Special consideration should be given to cases to which the disablement has been or may have been worsened by the improper or excessive use of alcohol, tobacco or drugs or by venereal disease. In such cases, the effects of these will be excluded in assessing disablement ascribable to service.
Normally the whole of the disablement then caused by the disability. This rule will apply irrespective of whether the disability is actually attributable to service, or is merely aggravated thereby. In the latter event, part of the disablement on discharge may have been present before service and/or may have been brought about by the natural progress of the disability during service. But as it is impossible, for so long as the strain and stress of service continues, to apportion quantitatively the effects of service and non-service factors, the entire disablement at the time of discharge will be taken into account. For example :
(1)
Where a person who had a partially disabled hand, sustains an injury to the same hand which renders it less useful than before, or a person with an impaired foot injures the other as a result of service, thus increasing his defect in locomotion ; or
(2)
Where a person gives history of cough and cold prior to enrolment and is invalided out of service for Chronic Bronchitis held to be aggravated by service, pension will be admissible for the total disablement.
(ii)
On re-survey of disability after discharge from the service. -
The whole of the disablement then caused by the disability, less the following : -
(1)
The part due to non-service factors, such as individual habits, occupation in civil life, accident after discharge, climatic environment after discharge ;
(2)
Any worsening due to the natural progress of the disability since discharge apart from the effects of service.
Deduction (1) will be made in all cases ; while deduction (2) above will apply only in cases where the disability is accepted as aggravated by, but not attributable to, service.
(c) In cases accepted as aggravated by service, although a percentage of disablement, equal to more than 20 per cent, may be assessed on medical resurvey, after discharge from service, in accordance with para. (b) (ii) (2) above, disability pension will cease to be payable as soon as the effects of the aggravation by service have passed away, e.g., where a person with disease, e.g., Fibrositis, Bronchitis, Eczema, etc., held to be aggravated by service, is invalided out and on resurvey was found by the Medical Board to have been restored (a) to his pre-service condition or (b) the condition in which he may have been normally at that time even if he had not joined Government service, aggravation by service will be deemed to have passed away.
(d) Paired organs, -
(i)
Paired organs, namely, eyes, ears, arms and legs shall be considered together, where disablement due to service occurs in one of a pair of organs, assessment on discharge will be made with reference to the diminution of the functional capacity of the organs working together. Therefore, assessment will include functional defect of the pair of organs.
(ii)
Subject to the exceptions specified below, any subsequent increase in the non-service disablement and non-service disablement arising after discharge whether due to injury or disease will be excluded from the assessment.
(iii)
Cases arise in which at the time of discharge, there is damage by service to one only of the paired organs (namely, eyes, ears, arms including hands) and legs (including feet) and the other is, either normal or impaired in a minor degree. Where the disablement acceptable under Clause (ii) above and the disablement of the other limb or organ are together assessable at any subsequent date at 100 %, the assessment for pension purposes will be increased by one half of the difference between the current assessment and 100 per cent. For instance, a pensioner receiving an award at the 40 % rate for the loss of an eye who later loses the sight of his other eye through a non-service cause, will have his award increased to 70 % rate ; and a pensioner with an award at 80 % for a gunshot wound of an arm, who later develops severe arthritis of his other arm, thereby being 100 % disabled, will qualify for a revised award at 90 % rate. Where the combined disablement of the pair of organs is less than 100 %, but is more than twice as serious as the disablement acceptable under Clause (ii) above, the assessment will be increased to one half of the combined disablement. If, for example, a pensioner with an award at 30 % rate for the loss of vision of one eye partially loses the sight of the other eye through a non-service cause, and the defective vision of both eyes together is assessable at 80 %, his award will be increased to the 40 % rate.
(iv)
The provisions of the preceding sub-clause are applicable even where the second of a pair of organs has been disabled by some generalized disability (e.g., rheumated arthritis) which would have also disabled the first of the pair if it had not been lost or damaged as the result of service.
(e) Composite assessments. -
Where there are two or more disabilities due to service, compensation will be based on the composite assessment of the degree of disablement. Generally speaking, when separate disabilities have entirely different functional effects, the composite assessment will be the arithmetical sum of their separate assessments. But where the functional effects of the disabilities overlap, the composite assessment will be reduced in proportion to the degree of overlapping.
(f) Nil disablement. -
Where, although a definite disability is or has been in evidence, the Medical Board consider that any disablement resulting therefore has ceased or has become so small as not to admit of assessable compensation, the assessment will be expressed as "nil disablement".
(g) Where the disability due to service has no connection with pre-existing disability, as for example, a person who had lost a finger prior to enlistment, loses a great toe by service, compensation will be restricted to the loss of the great toe only.

(4) The Medical Board will not express any opinion, either to the Government servant examined (or any of his relatives or friends, etc.) or in their Reports, as to whether he or his family is entitled to compensation or as to the amount of it, nor will it inform the Government servant or any other person connected with the Government servant of anything about the nature of the Medical Report given by it.
