      Average monthly salary in this case would be computed as under:

      Total basic salary drawn during 10 months immediately preceding the month in which the employee is retired (i.e. from 1st May 2014 to 28th February 2015) : (8 x 26,000 + 2 x 26,500) = ₹ 2,61,000

      Average basic salary (i.e. 2,61,000/10) (a)                                                    ₹ 26,100

      Dearness Allowance of one month (b)                                                           ₹ 400

      Commission of 10 months (i.e. 6% of 25,77,860)                                           ₹ 1,54,672

      Monthly commission (i.e. 1,54,672/10) (c)                                                    ₹ 15,467

      Average Monthly Salary (a + b + c)                                                                ₹ 41,967

      Out of

      1. ₹ 5,45,571 (i.e. 0.5 x 41,967 x 26)
      2. ₹ 10,00,000
