Article 444 :- A simple certificate that inefficiency, is due to old-age or
natural decay from advancing years, is not sufficient in the case of an officer
whose recorded age is less than fifty-years, but a Medical Officer is at liberty,
when certifying that the officer is incapacitated for further service by general
debility, to state his reasons for believing the age to be understand.
Form of Medical Certificate elsewhere than in India
Article 445 :- The form of medical certificate given by the Medical Board
arranged by the Indian Mission abroad, in respect of an officer applying for
invalid pension while on leave elsewhere than in India, shall be as follows :-
Form
We have carefully examined Mr. ....................................................
........................................................................... Taking into account all the facts
of the case as well as his present condition, we consider that he is incapable
of discharging the duties of his situation and that such incapability is
likely to be permanent. His incapacity does not appear to us to have been
caused by irregular or intemperate habits.
In our opinion his incapacity is the result of irregular or intemperate
habits.
Note :- If the incapacity does not appear to be complete and permanent, the
certificate should be modified accordingly and the following addition should
be made in the form. “We are of opinion that A/B, is fit for further service of a
less laborious character than that which he has been doing or may, after
resting for ...................................... months, be fit for further service of a less
laborious character than that which he has been doing”.
[G.O.Ms.No.37, Finance Department, dt. 14-2-1974]

Medical Board arranged by the Indian Mission abroad the Audit Officer must
not, of his own motion, reject the certificate as invalid, but must submit the
matter for the decision of the Government.
Note :- Government may delegate its power under this article to Heads of
Departments.
