About this tool

For those who retire after 01.01.2016, the full pension is half of the last basic pay for 20 years or more of qualifying service. Between 10 and 20 years it is paid in proportion to 20 years, and under 10 years no pension is due. So 15 years on a last basic pay of 30,000 gives 15 ÷ 20 of 15,000, which is 11,250.

The pension is limited to Rs 1,00,500 a month, and the full pension is not lower than Rs 8,500. Dearness relief and additional pension for old age are extra and are not included here.

The retirement-benefit rules and rates come from the Finance Department (Pension Branch) notification 535-F dated 01.10.2019, as summarised on WBXPress. Paul Digital is not connected with the Government of West Bengal.

How it is calculated

Full pension = 50% of last basic pay (20 years or more).

Pension for 10 to under 20 years = 50% of last basic pay × years ÷ 20.

Limited to Rs 1,00,500 a month.

Worked examples

  • Last basic pay 30,000 and 33 years: Rs 15,000.00.
  • Last basic pay 30,000 and 15 years: Rs 11,250.00.
  • Last basic pay 30,000 and 8 years: no pension, as service is under 10 years.

Tips for better results

  • Get the qualifying service from the Service Length Calculator.
  • Use the commuted value calculator to see the lump sum if you commute.
  • Dearness relief is added to the pension separately.
