(1) Prior to 1-4-55, the Government of India used to purchase annuities from the Government of United Kingdom for meeting the liabilities in respect of sterling pensions. With effect from 1-4-55, this liability was finally taken over by the Government of United Kingdom who in turn repaid to the Government of India, in 10 equal instalments the balance of the principal portion of the debt in respect of annuities remaining outstanding on 31-3-1955 after deducting the capital value of the estimated future cost of the sterling pensions and other liabilities transferred to them with interest thereon.

These arrangements necessitated certain financial adjustments in the books of the Central and State/Union Territory Governments as follows:

1. In the books of Central Government: The Central Government's portion of the liability on the sterling pensions transferred to U.K. will be split up between Civil, Defence, Posts and Telegraphs and Railway Departments in the ratio of the amount debited to revenue in equated instalments over a period of 30 years w.e.f. 1-4-55 assuming the same rate of interest as in the case of the annuities purchased from the U.K. under the earlier arrangement. These equated payments will be debited to the appropriate heads opened for the purpose under the relevant major heads accommodating the pensionary liability of the departments concerned by contra credit to the heads:-

1. Equated payment of sterling pension recovered from other Departments/State Governments.

2. Interest portion of equated payments on account of write back of capital value of annuities in purchase of sterling pensions below the head "0049- Interest Receipts-60-Other interest receipts of Central Government-Other receipts" (in respect of interest portion).

1. In the Books of States/Union Territories: The share of the sterling pensions etc. will be repaid by them to the centre in annual equated instalments over a period of 30 years, assuming the same rate of interest as for the annuities.

These payments will be debited to the minor head "Equated Payment on account of capital outlay on sterling pensions to the Government of India by the State/Union Territory Governments" under the Major Head "2071-Pension and Other Retirement Benefits" by per contra credit, in the books of Government to the heads:-
