THE EIGHTH SCHEDULE


(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.
