ANDHRA PRADESH REVISED PENSION RULES, 1980 (As ... - APHB

R - 20
(v) The break if any between the military/war service and the civil
service shall be treated as automatically condoned provided
the period of the break does not exceed one year. Breaks
exceeding one year but not exceeding three years may also
be condoned, in exceptional cases, under special orders of
Government.
(2) The service rendered by persons during World War II in the
Civil Defence Department shall also be treated as “War Service”
for the purpose of this note.
The service in Civil Defence Department shall mean only the service
rendered in the Civil Defence Department (including Air Raid Precaution
Service and Civil Labour Units) of the Composite Madras State Government,
i.e., areas which constituted Madras State as on 30th September, 1953. The
provisions in Rule 20 of these Rules and the note shall not apply to the service
rendered in the Civil Defence Department (including Air Raid Precaution
Service and Service in Civil Labour Units) of the Central and other State
Governments.
The benefit of counting of service in Civil Defence Organisations will
apply to all persons who have retired and who are still in service.
Note 2:- The question of counting non-regular military (purely
temporary) service which was not rendered in conjunction with
war service in the Army, Navy and Air Force towards Civil
Pension has been considered and it has been decided that
such service, if continuous, will count in full towards civil pension
if it is followed without interruptions by appointment to or
eventual confirmation in a pensionable post in Civil Service.
The grant of this concession is subject to the following
conditions:-
(i) The officer concerned should not have earned a pension under
the Military Rules in respect of the service in question;
(ii) In the case of services or posts in respect of which a minimum
age is fixed for recruitment, no military service rendered below
that age shall be allowed to count for pension; and
(iii) If the officer has been granted any retirement gratuity in respect
of such service, such gratuity shall be refundable.
