This benefit is not available to those, who had once submitted<br \/>\n          negative option (in the instant case during the year 1998) in PS-1 or PS-2 for &#8220;not<br \/>\n          to join the Coal Mines Pension Scheme, 1998&#8221;.

But in<br \/>\n          the instant case, in which the member has shown his intention &#8220;not to join the<br \/>\n          CMPS, 1998&#8243; by exercising Option in Form PS-1\/PS-2, he cannot be allowed<br \/>\n          again to submit his Option in PS-1\/PS-2, as the case may be. In such cases, the<br \/>\n          submission\/authentication of Form PS-3\/PS-4 does not make him eligible for<br \/>\n          Pension Membership under CMPS, 1998; and (iii)The proof of erroneous<br \/>\n          deduction\/diversion of Contributions made by the colliery management towards<br \/>\n          Pension Fund cannot be used to override the conditions enumerated in the<br \/>\n          eligibility criteria of an employee to become a member of CMPS, 1998.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>4.
