If any circular has been omitted the same should not be ignored but treated as valid to the extent operative. EMOLUMENTS/AVERAGE EMOLUMENTS With effect from 01.01.1986 the term "Emoluments" means the pay as defined in Rule 2003 (21) (a) (i)-RII which a railway servant was receiving immediately before his retirement or on the date of his death.

If a railway servant immediately before his retirement or death while in service had been absent from duty on extraordinary leave or had been under suspension, the period whereof does not count as service, the said period of leave or suspension shall be disregarded in the calculation of average emoluments and an equal period of 3 years /10 months before the period of extraordinary leave or suspension shall be taken into account. Letter No. (i) F(E)III 68 PN 1-29 dated 24.12.1969 see para 502 of MRPR (ii) F(E)III 76 PN 1/3 dated 22.03.1976 & 13.9.1976 3.

[Letter No. E(P&A)III 80/RS-10 dated 17.07.1981] 3.1 The increase in pay which is not actually drawn shall not from part of emoluments. Provided that the benefit of higher officiating or temporary pay is given only if it is certified that the railway servant would have continued to hold the higher officiating or temporary appointment but for his proceeding on leave. 3.2 Pay drawn in tenure appointment will count towards emoluments. 3.3 If a railway servant immediately before his retirement or death while in service was on LAP not exceeding 120 days and earned increment, such increment though not actually drawn shall from part of emoluments.

In the case of deputation of a State Government employee to the Central Government and vice-versa, the question whether any part of deputation special pay received by him will count for pension is to be decided by the State Government in the former case and by the Central Government in the latter case with reference to its own Rules on the subject.
