The government has given a strict warning that if an employee is negligent in his work, then his pension and gratuity can be stopped after retirement. This order will be applicable to central employees and in future state governments can also validate it.
Notification was issued-
Recently the central government has issued a notification under the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rule 2021. Let us tell you that the central government had recently changed Rule 8 of CCS (Pension) Rules 2021, in which new provisions have been added. It has been said in this notification that if the central employees are found guilty of any serious crime or negligence during their service period, then their gratuity and pension will be stopped after retirement.
It is worth noting that the information about the changed rule has been sent by the Center to all the concerned authorities. Not only this, it has also been made clear that if information about guilty employees is received, then action should be initiated to stop their pension and gratuity. That means this time the government is strict about this rule.
These people will take action-
- Presidents who have been part of the appointing authority of the retired employee have been given the authority to stop gratuity or pension.
- Secretaries who are associated with the concerned ministry or department under which the retiring employee has been appointed have also been given the authority to stop pension and gratuity.
- If an employee has retired from the Audit and Accounts Department, then CAG has been given the authority to stop pension and gratuity after the retirement of the guilty employees.
Know how action will be taken-
- According to the rules issued, if any departmental or judicial action is taken against these employees during the job, then it will be necessary to inform the concerned authorities about it.
- If an employee is re-appointed after retirement, then the same rules will apply to him.
- If an employee has taken payment of pension and gratuity after retirement and is then found guilty, then the full or partial amount of pension or gratuity can be recovered from him.
- This will be assessed on the basis of the loss caused to the department.
- If the authority wants, it can stop the employee’s pension or gratuity permanently or for some time.
Suggestion will have to be taken before the final order-
According to this rule, in any case, before giving the final order, it will be mandatory for the concerned authority to take advice from the Union Public Service Commission. It has also been clarified that in any action to stop or end the pension, the minimum pension amount should not be less than Rs 9000 per month. This provision is already prescribed under Rule 44, which ensures that pensioners can get minimum living facilities.
