Gratuity and Pension New Rule: The Modi government has made changes in the rules of gratuity and pension to the central employees. If you made some such mistakes during your job then you may have to lose your pension and gratuity. According to media reports, if government employees do not follow the rules, then they will not get pension and gratuity after their retirement.
Gratuity and pension will not be available
If any departmental or criminal action has been taken against any employee during the job, then it will have to be informed to the concerned officers. If an employee is re-employed after retirement, then all these rules will also apply to him. If an employee has taken the payment of pension and gratuity after retirement and after that he is found guilty, then the government can recover full or part of pension or gratuity from him. The amount to be withdrawn will be decided on the basis of loss. If the authority wants, the pension or gratuity of the employee can be stopped forever.
Pension will not be available on such negligence
If an employee is negligent in work, then according to the new rule of the government, they may have trouble getting gratuity. These rules are currently only for central employees. However, later states can also implement them. The Central Government has recently issued a notification under the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rule 2021. In this, some rules related to pension have been changed and some new ones have been added. According to these rules, if the Central Government employees are found guilty of any serious offense or negligence in the course of their service, then their gratuity and pension can be withheld.
These people will have the right to take action
The government has empowered the President who has been a member of the appointing authority of a retired employee, to withhold gratuity or pension. Secretary-level officers who are attached to the concerned ministry or department, who have been appointed under them, have also been given the right to withhold pension and gratuity. If an employee has retired from the Audit and Accounts Department, then the CAG has been empowered to withhold pension and gratuity after the retirement of the delinquent employees.
Government strict about rules
The changed rules from the center are very strict. It has also been said that the culprits will not be forgiven and if any such information is received, then their pension and gratuity can be stopped.
