Notes: 1. Where an Officer immediately before his retirement or death while in service
had been absent from duty on leave (including furlough leave) for which leave
salary is/was payable, or having been suspended had been reinstated without
forfeiture of service, the emoluments which he would have drawn, had he not
been absent from duty or not been suspended, shall reckon for pensionary
benefits.
Provided that any increase in pay (other than the increment referred to in
Note 4 below), which is/was not actually drawn shall not form part of
emoluments.

2. Where an Officer immediately before his retirement or death while in service,
had proceeded on leave for which leave salary is/was payable, after having
held a higher paid acting rank, the emoluments drawn in such paid acting rank,
shall reckon for pensionary benefits only if it is certified that he would have
continued to hold the paid acting rank but for his proceeding on leave.

3. Where an Officer immediately before his retirement or death while in service
had been under suspension or absent from duty, the period whereof does not
count as service, the emoluments which he drew immediately before such
absence from duty or being placed under suspension, shall reckon for
pensionary benefits.

4. Where an Officer immediately before his retirement or death while in service,
was on annual leave or furlough leave and earned an increment during such
leave which was not withheld, such increment, though not actually drawn,
shall form part of emoluments reckonable for pensionary benefits.
Provided that the increment was earned during the currency of such leave
not exceeding 120 days or during the first 120 days of the leave, where such
leave was for more than 120 days.

5. Where an Officer is serving in an organisation other than the Armed Forces,
the actual pay and allowances drawn during such service shall not be treated as
emoluments, but the basic pay plus non-practicing allowance, rank pay and
stagnation increment, if any, which he would have drawn in the Armed Forces,
had he not been on such service, shall alone be treated as emoluments
reckonable for pensionary benefits.
