(See section 54) 

APPORTIONMENT OF LIABILITY IN RESPECT OF PENSIONS 

1. Subject to the adjustments mentioned in paragraph 3, each of the successor States shall, in respect 
of  pensions  granted  before  the  appointed  day  by  the  existing  State  of  Uttar  Pradesh,  pay  the  pensions 
drawn in its treasuries. 

2. Subject to the said adjustments, the liability in respect of pensions of officers serving in connection 
with  the  affairs  of  the  existing  State  of  Uttar  Pradesh  who  retire  or  proceed  on  leave  preparatory  to 
retirement before the appointed day, but whose claims for pensions are outstanding immediately before 
that day, shall be the liability of the State of Uttar Pradesh. 

3. There shall be computed, in respect of the period commencing on the appointed day and ending on 
such  date  after  the  appointed  day,  as  may  be  fixed  by  the  Central  Government  and  in  respect  of  each 
subsequent  financial  year,  the  total  payments  made  in  all  the  successor  States  in  respect  of  pensions 
referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2. The total representing the liability of the existing State of Uttar Pradesh 
in respect of pensions shall be apportioned between the successor States in the population ratio and any 
successor State paying the State paying more than its due share shall be reimbursed the excess amount by 
the successor State or State paying less. 

4.  The  liability  of  the  existing  State  of  Uttar  Pradesh  in  respect  of  pensions  granted  before  the 
appointed day and drawn in any area outside the territories of the existing State shall be the liability of the 
State  of  Uttar  Pradesh  subject  to  adjustments  to  be  made  in  accordance  with  paragraph  3  as  if  such 
pensions had been drawn in any treasury in the State of Uttar Pradesh under paragraph 1. 

5. (1) The liability in respect of the pension of any officer serving immediately before the appointed 
day in connection with the affairs of the existing State of Uttar Pradesh and retiring on or after that day, 
shall be that of the successor State granting him the pension; but the portion of the pension attributable to 
the service of any such officer before the appointed day in connection with the affairs of the existing State 
of  Uttar  Pradesh  shall  be  allocated  between  the  successor  States  in  the  population  ratio,  and  the 
Government granting the pension shall be entitled to receive from each of the other successor States its 
share of this liability. 

(2) If any such officer was serving after the appointed day in connection with the affairs of more than 
one successor State other than the one granting the pension shall reimburse to the Government by which 
the pension is granted an amount which bears to the portion of the pension attributable to his service after 
the appointed day the same ratio as the period of his qualifying service after the appointed day under the 
reimbursing State bears to the total qualifying service of such officer after the appointed day reckoned for 
the purposes of pension. 

6.  Any  reference  in  this  Schedule  to  a  pension  shall  be  construed  as  including  a  reference  to  the 

commuted value of the pension.
