Subject: Conversion from CPF to GPF.

Sir,
I am to refer to your letter no. KVS/2013-2015 dated 29.04.2015 addressed to the Secretary, MHRD on the captioned subject and to inform you that the matter regarding one time permission for change over from CPF to GPF Scheme for teaching and non-teaching staff of KVS was considered by MHRD in consultation with Department of Expenditure. The Ministry of HRD vide their letter No. F.3-14/2012-UT-2 dated 7th April, 2015 has informed that the Department of Expenditure after examining the proposal has inter-alia observed as under:

“The employees of Kendirya Vidyalaya Sasngathan who were in service as on 1.1.1986 and decided to opt for CPF made a conscious decision knowing well that the option once exercised is final. Grant of one more option to such CPF subscribers in KVS could have repercussion elsewhere with such an option having to be extended to all other CPF beneficiaries as well whose number is quite substantial.

In view of the above position, the proposal for grant of one time permission for changing from CPF to GPF cum Pension Scheme for teaching and non-teaching staff of KVS is not agreed to.”

Hence, it is not possible to accept your request accordingly.

Yours faithfully,

(Govind Kumar)

Contributory Provident Fund Rules (India ), 1962

The CPF Rules are applicable to every non-pensionable servant of the Government belonging to any of the services under the control of the President. A subscriber, at the time of joining the Fund is required to make a nomination in the prescribed form conferring on one or more persons the right to receive the amount that may stand to his credit in the Fund in the event of his death, before that amount has become payable or having become payable has not been paid.

A subscriber shall subscribe monthly to the Fund when on duty or foreign service but not during a period of suspension. Rates of subscription shall not be less than 10% of the emoluments and not more than his emoluments. The employer’s contribution at that percentage prescribed by the Government will be credited to the subscriber’s account and this is presently 10%. Rate of interest, at present, is 12% compounded annually. The Rules provide for drawal of advances / withdrawals from the CPF for specific purposes. As in GPF Rules, the CPF Rules also provide for Deposit linked Insurance Revised Scheme.

Earlier, the Government was giving option to CPF subscribers to switch over from CPF Scheme to GPF Scheme (Pension Scheme). The last such option was allowed based on the recommendations of Fourth CPC. As a number of options have already been allowed as and when substantial improvement were made in the pension scheme and the practical difficulties involved in retrieval of records and adjustments to be made, demand for further option was not recommended by the 5th CPC and there is no proposal with the Government to consider any further change in options.
