The method of recovery shall be that prescribed in sub-rules (2) and (3). The total amount of interest shall be rounded to the nearest whole rupee (fifty paisas counting as the next higher rupee).
(7) Recoveries shall be credited as they are made to the officer's account in
the fund, the date of credit being determined for the purpose of calculating interest, by the procedure prescribed in sub-rule (2) of rule 17

DEFENCE SERVICES OF'FICERS' PROVIDENT FUND (INSTRUCMONS)
Relevant DSOP INTRODUCRORY Fund (Rule) I. The Defence Services Officers' Provident Fund was created to assist
and encourage savings by officers mainly for the benefit of their families and to enable the offices to rehabilitate themselves properly after retirement. It also provides for advances on grounds of extreme necessity to meet unforeseen and unavoidable expenditure during service. The money deducted from the emoluments of the officers as subscriptions to the fund is available to the government for investment in various developments etc, projects. This indirectly also benefits the subscribers. The government also undertakes to pay compound interest on the amount .subscribed by the officers. The accumulation in the fund cannot, therefore, be treated as a Current Bank Account to be drawn upon at the will of the subscriber. The money subscribed to the fund becomes the property of the government and ceases to be the, property of the officers during their service. After retirement the money becomes payable to the officer, or if be dies in service, to his family, or nominated heir/next of kin if the officer leaves no family.
During the last few years the scope)f advances from the fund has been
considerably liberalized but this liberalization aims at fruitful and beneficial projects like house. building, purchase of agricultural land etc, which contribute towards the rehabilitation of the officer and towards promoting his family welfare. Therefore, grant of advances from the fund, whether refundable or non-refundable, is governed by certain principles and a subscriber cannot treat it as a melted of right. The grant of advances is consequently entirely at the discretion of sanctioning authority.
ADMISSION TO THE FUND
4-6 2. All newly commissioned officers including reservists called up for
service and recommissioned officers will automatically be admitted to the fund from the date of grant of commission. Reservists called up for training for one
month in a year will however not be admitted to the fund. The accounts officer will admit the officer at the prescribed minimum rate unless the officer has expressly asked to subscribe more than the minimum. Action to admit the officers to the fund will be taken by accounts officer immediately as under:-
a. Officers Newly Commissioned from PMA/OTS. On receipt of Form 'A’ from PMA/OTS.
46 Relevant DSOP Fund (Rule)
b. Directly Commissioned/Recalled/Recommissioned Officers .On receipt of first intimation of their joining duty.
Notes (1) While despatching Form 'A', PMA/OTS will inform the
officer that he may subscribe more than the minimum. If so, he may indicate it in Form 'A' or by a separate application to the accounts officer. This application and nomination form will be despatched to the accounts officer along with Form 'A'.
(2) Officer Commanding will also ask the Officer on joining
duty on commission, if he has exercised his option regarding DSOP Fund and about the nomination form. If not, action as in note (1) will be taken immediately by the OC unit.
(3) OC Unit will take the foregoing action in respect of
directly commissioned/recalled to service/ recommissioned officers.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
3. During Leave Pending Retirement/Release. Payment of subscriptions during leave pending retirement/release may be stopped by the officer.
11 4. Inerease/Decrease in Subscriptions. Request of the officer for
increase/decrease in rate of monthly subscriptions, other than normal annual change vide rule 11, will be sent to the account officer as quickly as possible when an officer is promoted or is to proceed abroad etc. Recovery of arrears, if any, will be effected as in instruction 5.
7-17 5. Recovery of Arrears. Vide rule 9, subscriptions are recoverable from
the first day of the month for which full pay is drawn. If due to some unavoidable factors, realisation of subscriptions (including subsequent increase) at source is delayed, their recovery of arrears will be so staggered that not more than two months subscriptions are recovered in one month, including subscriptions for the current month.
46-47 6. Annual Statement of Account. Lists of officers who do not receive
their annual statement of account for the preceding year by 31 January, will be forwarded by units direct to Director Pay, Pension and Accounts, GHQ.
47 Relevant DSOP Fund (Rule)
ADVANCE FROM THE FUND 22 General
7. An advance should be applied for only when it is absolutely necessary. If recovery is requested in more than 24 instalments, full reasons must be given for consideration by the sanctioning authority. Application must be on proper form and must be completed with care in all respects, especially the columns showing credit balance and particulars of previous advances. The CO/recommending authority must scrutinise the application thoroughly and satisfy himself that the reasons given by the officer are genuine and deserve acceptance for the grant of advance. Such an authority is competent to reject an application on the spot or to recommend lesser amount of advance or increase/decrease in the number of recovery instalments. In recommending the amount of advance and the number of instalments, the repayment capability of the officer must be taken into account e.g, his normal subscription, any amount already being repaid for an earlier advance and other deductions from his pay vis-a-vis his other commitments.
It must be noted that except as provided for in rule 22, all refundable advances granted from DSOP Fund are recoverable concurrently. Furthermore, number of instalments once fixed cannot be increased. However, if the sanctioning authority considers it to be a genuine case of difficulty, it may issue a fresh sanction recoverable in any number of instalments. In such a case, the fresh sanction will also provide for the adjustment of the outstanding amount against the fresh advance. Requests of this nature should be recommended only in exceptional cases.
7A. The maximum amount of advance, where relevant, will be worked out on the basis of the emoluments the officer is in receipt of at the time of original sanction. Increase in emoluments occurring later either retrospectively or prospectively will not be taken into account.
NOTE:- SIGNAL/TELEGRAPHIC REMINDERS WILL NOT BE SENT TO GHQ.
REFUNDABLE ADVANCES
House Building Advance
23-24 8. As stated in sub-rule (1) to Rule 23 grant of house building advances is
governed mutatis mutandis by the rules in appendix III to Pay and Allowance Regulations for the army, volume 11 and DSOP Fund Rule. The term "house building" includes purchase of plot on which house is to be built.
48 Relevant DSOP Fund (Rule)
9. An advance for house building drown only from the DSOP Fund is not to exceed eighty per cent of the amount standing to the credit of the subscriber or his twenty four months emoluments whichever is less. However, if the advance is drawn partly from government and partly from the DSOP Fund, the advance from the DSOP Fund will not exceed fifty per cent of his credit balance in the fund and total of both the advances will be limited to twenty four months pay of the officer or if he has less than ten years remaining service in his present rank then the amount which can be recovered from him at twenty-five per cent of his monthly emoluments. The recoverable amount will include interest thereon. (See Instruction 7A).
10. Applications. Applications for refundable house building advances will be submitted on the form published as Annex 'A' to these instructions. CO (Lt Col and above) will forward applications of officers under their command direct to Director Pay, Pension & Accounts, AG's Branch, GHQ, Rawalpindi. Their own applications will be forwarded through the next higher authority. No covering letters are required for such applications. Applications from officers of units commanded by Majors and below will be completed and routed as under:-
a. If the applicant is not commanding the unit, his CO will complete part II
and forward the application to the next higher formation commander. If the formation commander recommends the application he will complete part III and forward the application to GHQ without a covering letter.
b. Applications of officers commanding unit will be forwarded to next

amount of advance drawn from the government, with interest, he can be allowed to transfer his equity of redemption in the mortgaged property. Such transfer does not affect the mortgage which subsists and the officer's liability under the loan agreement continues.

subsequent mortgages if such mortgages do not prejudice the right of the earlier mortgagee i.e, the

This has to be included in the, subsequent mortgages,.
