The total representing the liability of the existing State of Madhya Pradesh in respect of pension shall be apportioned between the successor State on the population ratio and any successor State paying more than its due share shall be reimbursed the excess amount by the successor State or State paying less.
The liability of the existing State of Madhya Pradesh in respect of Pension 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 Madhya 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 Madhya Pradesh under Paragraph 1.
