OFFICE MEMORANDUM

विषय : Clarification regarding timely payment of GPF final payment to the
retiring Government servant - regarding

Recently few references regarding interest on delayed payment of GPF to the retired
Government have been received for clarification whether interest is payable on GPF after
retirement.

2. In this connection, it may be stated that detailed clarifications regarding timely
payment of GPF final payment to the retiring Government servant were
furnished to all Ministries/Departments vide this Departments’ Office Memorandum
No.3/3/2016-P&PW(F) dated 16" January, 2017 (copy enclosed).

3. The per Rule 34 of General Provident Fund (Central Service) Rules, 1960 clearly
provides that when the amount standing at the credit of a subscriber in the Gencral
Provident Fund becomes payable, it shall be the duty of the Accounts Officer to make
payment.

4. It is also added the amount deposited in General Provident Fund Account is solely
the asset of the individual Government servant. Any disciplinary case pending or penalty
imposed against him does not have any impact on the disbursement of the GPF amount.
As per Rule 11(4) of GPF Rules, in case the GPF balance is not paid on retirement,
interest on the GPF balance is required to be paid for the period beyond the date of
retirement also.

5. This issues with the approval of competent authority.
