306. The attention of every Government servant who is employed should be especially called to the provisions of this Chapter by the authority re-employing him, and whenever he becomes aware of such an appointment, by the Audit Officer: but the failure of such authority to do this will not be admitted as a ground for condoning any breach of the Rules contained in this Chapter.
307. A Government servant who has obtained a compensation gratuity, if re-employed in qualifying service, may either retain his gratuity in which case his former service will not count for future pension, or refund it and count his former service.
308. The intention to refund must be stated immediately on re-employment; but the refund may be made by monthly instalments of not less than one-third of the Government servants’ Pay and also not less than the whole gratuity divided by the number of months which have elapsed since the end of the service for which the gratuity was given. The right to count previous service does not revive till the whole amount is refunded.

Note -1. Once the amount of pension has been fixed in conformity with the above condition, the Government servant shall be entitled to receive the benefits of increments in his new
scale or promotion to another scale or post without a further corresponding reduction in pension nor shall the amount of pension so fixed be varied during leave.
Note -2. When a Government servant not holding a substantive post is retrenched owing to reduction of establishment, he shall, on re-appointment, be started at the minimum of the grade pay of the post to which he is appointed. He will however count the previous service rendered as a regularly appointed candidate.
(b) If his re-employment is in qualifying service he may eitherretain his pension (subject to the proviso above stated), in which case his former service will not count for future pension or cease to draw any part of his pension and count his previous service. Pension immediately drawn need not be refunded.
