The Government Advised Central Workers To Examine The Details Of Their Pension And Gratuity Immediately
In addition to giving central personnel bonuses and DA, the government has also issued a strong warning. In doing so, orders have been provided to stop receiving pension and gratuity after retirement. It has been advised in this to be attentive about work and not to be careless. The central workers will currently be covered by this order, which the states may also put into effect.
In a recent statement, the Central Government stated that if any Central employees are found guilty of a serious infraction or negligence while they are on the job, their gratuity and pension will be terminated. In accordance with the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rule 2021, certain directives have been issued. These additional provisions were recently added to Rule 8 of the CCS (Pension) Rules 2021 by the Central Government.
All the relevant authorities have also received information from the Center regarding the changes to the rules. It has been stated in this that action should be taken to stop the guilty employees’ pension and gratuity if information about them is received.
Who is going to act?
The president, who participated in the decision to appoint the retired worker. They will have the option to revoke their pension or gratuity.
Secretaries who work for the Ministry or Department that the departing employee was appointed to. Additionally, they will be able to discontinue receiving pensions and bonuses.
The CAG has the authority to halt the pension and gratuity of the guilty workers after their retirement if they have left the Audit and Accounts Department.
Such a move is possible
The relevant authorities will have the option to partially or completely halt the pension or gratuity of the found-guilty employees in accordance with the changes to the rules that took effect on October 7. It will also be important to alert the competent officers if any departmental or judicial action is taken against this personnel while they are on the job. The same regulations will be applied to a retired employee if he is hired back.
The full or partial amount of a pension or gratuity that was paid to an employee after retirement and he was found guilty may be recovered from him. It will be evaluated based on the departmental loss that was sustained. The employee’s pension or gratuity can be suspended indefinitely or even temporarily at the authority’s request.
Before the final order, suggestions will need to be considered. Before issuing the final ruling, any authority will have to consider comments from the Union Public Service Commission. Additionally, the minimum amount shall never be less than Rs 9000 per month, which is already required by Rule 44, in any situation when the pension is withheld or reduced.
