Dear Abdul Wajid, Federal Departments have started the process but the Punjab Govt has not yet isuued the said notification.
Certain friends have been sending emails to me and asking questions regarding restoration of commuted part of pension.
Their mails however do not contain the essential basic information without which it is not possible for me to give my considered opinion.
All friends are therefore requested to give the particulars mentioned below, while asking for my opinion :-
(1) Date of birth of pesioner
(2) Date of retirement
(3) Number of years for which commutation was received, OR
(4) Rupee amount received for each rupee commuted.
They may give any further particulars they think can be helpful in answering their queries. But the above information is necessarily required.
Best of wishes to all friends

The benefit of restoration is admissible to all pensioners who retired BEFORE 1.12.2001.
And the restoration will be effective on completion of the number of years (15 or more) for which pension was commuted on retirement.
And all increases, not given on commuted part, from 1.12.2001 onwards, shall also become due from date of restoration.

Rehan
Dear Rehan just email all details to Mr. Amir Agha whose email is available at the site under the head CONTACT US.
AGPR HAS INVITED APPLICATIONS FROM PERSONS WHO ARE 75 YEARS AND ABOVE FOR PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL PENSIONARY BENEFITS. THEY ARE KEEPING APPLICATIONS WITH THEM FOR THE LAST ONE MONTH AND CLEARING ONLY THOSE CASES WHO HAVE SOME APPROACH IN THE AGPR. HOW COME THAT I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE AGPR THOUGH I SUBMITTED MY APPLICATION OF PAYMENT OF PENSION DUES ON RESTORED PENSION MORE THAN A MONTH AGO. SOME HIGHER UPS HAVE TO LOOK TO IT.
Dear friend
It is true that in public offices cases are processed with certain lethargy. But please try to visit the AGPR office personally or through someone to know status of your case.
If the case is badly delayed, you may insist upon seeing the Additional AGPR also.

Dear Asghar just contact Mr. Amir Agha whose detail is in these comments.
Yes dear friend, in my opinion your mother is entitled to all those benefits to which your father would be entitled if he was alive.
If you send me email with more particulars, I can give my specific opinion. For how many years did your father receive commuted value ? What are the exact dates of retirement and of birth. From what date your mother is receiving 50% of pension ? Has this been increased to 75%.

Dear Raja Usman this notification is only for the FG Civil and the Civil Employees Paid out of Defence Estimates.
dear mere father frontier core se retired hain kia wo b restoration of pention k ahal hain ya sirf civil pentioner ko entitle kiya jaye ga.mere papa 11.11.93 ko retired huye hain frontier core se ar un ki date of birth yeh ha 30.03.1954 ha kia wo b restrotion of pention k liye apply kr skte hain ya nae
Dear Usman, I have heard that the court has again given decision that this will be spread to all the pensioners at the age of 75 years.
A correction !
Age 75 does not have any direct relation with restoration. The pension is restored on expiry of those number of years for which the pension was commuted. If a pensioner retired at age 60, and got 15 years commuted value, the restoration in that case alone would be after 15 years, when the pensioners would be 75 or so.
Other pensions who retired earlier than at 60, may get restoration on expiry of number of years for which commuted value was received. Restoration in their cases may be much before reaching 75 years of age.

My father was a assistant director (O/O DG of Audit P.T& T Lahoor). He has retired from service on attaining the superannuation age of 60 years w.e.f 01-01-1990 and died on 22-02-1993. My mother is getting family pension. Whether she is entitled for restoration of pension.
Dear OSAMA, plz contact Agha Amir Sb his contact detail is available in these comments. Thanks
Yes, Osama, I believe the commuted part of your father’s pension is to be restored after 15 years, i.e. from 1.1.2005. And this having become family pension, your mom will be eligible to get 50 / 75 % as per rules. And all those increases not given (on commuted part) from 2001 shall also become due.
For further opinion, you may give me more particulars and address me mail at [email protected]
Agha Amir
Dear,
My father has died during service in September 1998, after his death my mother receiving family pension, is she entitle the restoration of pension, my father is 43 years at the time of death and 22 years service
Dear Majid I think yes for further details plz contact Mr. Amir Agha whose detail is in these comments.
Without certain information, it is not possible to give considered opinion. Hence, all readers are requested to kindly give the following information, while asking my opinion.
1. Date of birth of pensioner
2. Date of retirement or death
3. Amount of commuted value for each rupee commuted and / or
4. The number of years for which commuted value was received.
Amount of gross pension or lump commuted value received for the commuted part of pension is not required. But if someone gives that information, that will be helpful too
I may clarify that restoration of commuted pension is not permissible under the current rules / orders where the pension was given on or after 1.12.2001.
Persons retiring on or after 1.12.2001 may however consider moving the Tribunal / Court for similar benefit as a separate legal case.
I shall be happy to provide any other assistance.

Dear Gul Nawaz plz contact Mr. Amir Agha Sb,whose detail is available in these comments.
Yes, the commuted part is restorable on completion of the years for which commuted value was received on retirement.
But if the pension, even after restoration, is less than the minimum, then that minimum will be eligible.
For further opinion please write to me at [email protected]

Dear Safdar Shah
Yes, as per rules the commuted part of your pension is to be restored on expiry of 26 years. You are lucky that you retired before 1.12.2001 because persons retiring that date onwards are NOT entitled to restoration of commuted part of their pension even if they live upto 100 (unless some court holds that the denial of restoration by itself is unconstitutional).
As for 75 years of age, doubling of pension is based on the presumption that a person has retired at the age of 60 and was given 15 years commuted value. Hence, on expiry of 15 years (and the age being 75 years) the pension would be doubled (if half of it was commuted and has been subsequently restored).

Dear Agha Kahn Plz write a detailed note on this topic and email me so that I may publish it for the guidance of many needy. Thanks
I retired from central civil service at the age of 47 years on 12 august,1998 after about
29 years service & got my 50% pension commuted at the time of retirement.. as per existing rules as in vogue prior to the issue of latest notification of finance division dated 28 jan 2013, the commuted portion of pension is restore-able after expiry of the number of years for which it was commuted. In my case it is 26.3172 years( at the age of 47 years)and as such my pension was to be restored wef 13 august,2024 As per above mentioned notification of finance division dated 28 Jan 2013,the commuted pension is restore-able after 15 years from the date of retirement (as cited in the subject of said notification). Would you kindly let me know the positions as regards applicability of 15 years period for restoration of commuted pension as well as exact date of restoration of commuted pension in my case under this notification.
Dear Safdar Shah, I m not fully aware of it. Plz contact your Account Office (Pension Cell) for the clarification of the same. Thanks
For Amjid Khan
Since you were retired after 30.11.2001, you are not eligible for restoration of commuted part of your pension as per existing rules.
Restoration, and consequent increases from 1.12.2001 on commuted part of pension, are admissible to those pensioners who retired before 1.12.2001
Send me full details of your case at my email address along with any specific question so that I can give my opinion in a better way.

Reply is awaited
Dear Amjad just read the comments of Agha Aamir.
i was pr muture retired from federal govt service in 2007 in the age of 48 years kindly let men know the my date of restoration thanks
For attention of ShumailaKamal. Her reply of 18 April refers.
It is not true that pension of all pensioners is restored or doubled at the age of 75. There is no such rule (though in some cases pension could be restored at 75).
Rules provided that commuted part of pension is restored on the expiry of those number of years for which the value of each surrendered rupees is received. The period may range from 6 to 51 years depending on the age of pensioner when he got commuted value.
For further details please address me at [email protected]
Thanks Agha Amir Sb for pointing out.
Dear agha Sb
i was pr muture retired from federal govt service in 2007 in the age of 48 years kindly let men know the my date of restoration thanks
Restoration benefit was withdrawn by government from 1.12.2001. Since you retired in 2007, the restoration benefit is not admissible to you.
Sorry for that.

Correct legal position is that commuted part is restored on the expiry of those number of years for which the pension was surrendered. At the age next birthday of 53, your father must have received 20.4638 years lump amount. Round it off to 20 years. So if the pension was commuted in 1992, after 20 years, it is to be restored i.e. in 2012.
For further calrification you may write to me on [email protected] and I shall be glad to help you in all possible ways.
hello…my father died at the age of 52 in 1993 in an accident…the commuted portion of his pension was not allowed after 10 years of his death by CMP Lahore….he was working in BPS 17 in population welfare…need to know
1. How my mother will be able to get the commuted portion and when???
2.The behbud fund permissible to widows for whole life was granted to my mother for only 10 years i.e Dec.2002..how can my mother get that behbud fund???
may i know when i will get your answer…
DEar Amnah just email me your issue with the full detail of the issue.
For Amnh Hamid information. Since her father’s age was 52 when pension commenced, the commutation value must have been received for 21 years. So the commuted part will be restored after 21 years. If the age (next birthday) was 53, then the restoration will be after 20 years.
For behbud grant, please contact the head of department where the deceased was employed.

Govt servant who retired premature on completion of 25 years services is entitled restoration after 15 years
Dear Amjad Khan I think after the age of 75 Years.
The correct position that commuted part is restorable on completion of that number of years for which the commuted value was received on retirement.
And the benefit is admissible only to those pensioners who retired BEFORE 1.12.2001.
Dear ye law un pe bhi lago hoga jis ne 60 years se pehle retiremet lay li ho
Dear aap ki pass koi aysa rule ha to please send to me thanks
( law un pe bhi lago hoga jis ne 60 years se pehle retiremet lay li ho)
Dear Faique Hussain, according to my knowledge the pension of all the penioners will be restored after the age of 60 + 15 = 75 whether when ever they retired.
Dear friends
Ye law un tamaam pensioners par lagu hota hai, jo 1.12.2001 se pahlay retire huway, aur jinhon nein pension commute karai thi.
Retire honay ki umar ka is law say koi direct taulluq naheen. 60 saal say pehle retire honay waalay bhi is ka faeday ka ahl hain.
