As similar contention is frequently raised under the corresponding Rule 49(2)(b) of CCS Pension Rules ('CCSP Rules' for short), we will for convenience refer to the corresponding provisions of CSSP Rules also. 14. Rule 43(2) relied on by the petitioner falls under Chapter VI of TNP Rules (corresponding to Rule 49(2)(b) in chapter 7 of CCSP Rules) dealing with 'Regulation of amount of pension'. The said rule relates to quantum and lays down how the pension of a retired Government servant should be calculated if he is entitled to pension. Entitlement to pension is governed by Chapter V of the said Rules, which enumerates the classes of pension and conditions for entitlement.
