Actually, recently some rules have been changed by the central government. Under which an important warning has also been issued along with the announcement of DA and (central government employee) bonus to central employees.

Let us tell you that if any employee violates the rules of being cautious about work and not being careless, then he may have to suffer heavy losses. If this is done, instructions have been given to stop pension and gratuity after retirement. At present, this order will be applicable to central employees, which can also be implemented by the states.

The central government has said in a recent notification that if central employees are found guilty of any serious crime or negligence during their service (central government), then their gratuity and pension will be stopped after retirement. 

These instructions have been issued under the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules 2021. The central government recently amended Rule 8 of CCS (Pension) Rules 2021, in which these new provisions have been added.

The information about the change in the rules has also been sent by the Centre to all the concerned authorities. It has been said that if information about the guilty employees is received, then action should be initiated to stop their pension and gratuity.

Who will take action

- If any employee is found guilty, the President who has been a part of the appointing authority of the retired employee will have the right to stop his gratuity or pension.
- The employees who were earlier associated with that ministry or department and under which the retiring employee was appointed will also have the right to stop pension and gratuity. 
- If any employee has retired from the Audit and Accounts Department, then the CAG will have the right to stop their pension and gratuity after the retirement of the guilty employees (Department of Expenditure order).

This is how action can be taken

Let us tell you that on 7th October, some rules have been changed by the government. According to which, the competent authorities will have the right to stop the pension or gratuity or both partially or completely of the employees found guilty. 

If any departmental or judicial action is taken against any employee during the job (Bonus Central employees), then it will also be necessary to give information about it to the concerned authorities. If any employee is re-appointed after retirement, then the same rules will apply to him also. 

If an employee has received pension and gratuity payment after retirement and is then found guilty, then the full or partial amount of pension (Central government employee bonus) 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.
