Understanding the Amended CCS (Pension) Rules 1972
🔍 Background:

💡 Insight:

📝 Action Needed:
- The query highlights the discrepancy in the Factor (Divisor) 70 used in the EPS '95 formula, suggesting a need for its reassessment in alignment with the revised pension rules.
- It is recommended that the Competent Authority reexamines the Factor (Divisor) 70 to ensure it reflects the updated provisions of the Amended CCS (Pension) Rules 1972 for the benefit of EPS '95 members.
🚀 Next Steps:
1. Review the RTI reply and the attached documents for a comprehensive understanding of the issue.
2. Identify the specific implications of revisiting the Factor (Divisor) 70 on pension calculations for EPS '95 members.
