The excess amount, if any, deducted from the railway employees/family pensioners who retired/sanctioned pension from 01.01.2016 to 22.02.2017 (both dates are inclusive), may be refunded. It will be incumbent upon the department/branch, which paid the settlement dues to the retired employees/family pensioner, between 01.01.2016 to 22.02.2017 (both dated are inclusive) to credit the excess amount recovered, if any, in one go in the bank account of the employee/family penioner in which the settlement dues was credited. The due amount shall be initiated by the bill preparing authority for the retired employee and shall be passed by the Accounts Department after due internal check. This would be done without any application from the employee/family pensioner.
This issues in consultation with Finance Directorate in the Ministry of Railways.
