same manner as in respect of any other class of pension.
Procedure for the grant of Compassionate Allowance
26. In order to avoid delay in the payment of compassionate allowance, the following
procedure should be adopted in cases relating to officers removed from service:-
(a) On receipt of the orders of the competent authority removing an officer from
service for misconduct, insolvency or inefficiency, the Head of the Office, if proposes to
recommend the grant of a compassionate allowance, should fill in the application for
pension and send it to the Accounts Officer concerned for report on the title to pension.
The Head of the Office should not wait for an application from the officer.
(b) If the competent authority in issuing orders of removal states that a certain
proportion of the compensation pension is to be granted as compassionate allowance, no
further sanction to pension is necessary, and all that is required is that the Accounts
Officer should certify to the admissibility of the pension on a pension application
completed and signed by the Head of the Officer as provided in para (a) above.
