Provided that the pensioner, who has retired during the current block of four years (2008-2011) and has availed the benefit of LTC before their retirement in this block under the scheme of leave travel concession available to the State Government employees, shall not be entitled to the benefit of this scheme for the balance period of the current block.
This scheme shall be applicable to all pensioners who are drawing their pension under the Punjab Civil Services, Rules, Vol. II as amended from time to time and as applicable to the pensioners under the rules making powers of Haryana Government and whose pension is debitable to the Consolidated Fund of the State of Haryana.
"Pension" means the entitlement of basic pension inclusive of commuted pension and the dearness allowance admissible thereon being drawn under the Punjab Civil Services Rules, Vol. II as amended from time to time and as applicable to the pensioners of Haryana Government.

Such an undertaking must be countersigned by the spouse of the concerned pensioner. Alternatively, the concerned pensioner shall submit an undertaking that the provisions of this para is not attracted in his/her case as none of his/her entitled family members, including the spouse, is either pensioner or in service of Government of Haryana or in service under the Central Government or any other State Government or under any other organisation/institution/body, etc, wholly or substantially owned or controlled by the Central Government or any State Government.
The authority competent to authorise disbursal of pension to the concerned pensioner shall also be competent to disburse the ‘entitled amount’ in his/her case.
The one month’s pension to the pensioners of age group of 90 years and above shall be disbursed alongwith the regular pension for the month of January in the first year of the block of four years, the one month’s pension to the pensioners of age group of 80 years and below 90 years shall be disbursed alongwith the regular pension for the month of January in the second year of the block of four years, the one month’s pension to the pensioners of age group of 70 years and below 80 years shall be disbursed alongwith the regular pension for the month of January in the third year of the block of four years and the one month’s pension to the pensioners of age group of below 70 years shall be disbursed alongwith the regular pension for the month of January in the fourth year of the block of four years.
