The federal government has officially removed the restriction on receiving a pension and a salary at the same time, providing relief to retired employees who are re-employed after retirement.
According to an official notification, the government has withdrawn two earlier office memorandums dated April 22 and June 19 that had placed limitations on pension payments in re-employment cases. With the immediate withdrawal of these directives, retired government employees who return to service will once again be eligible to receive both their pension and regular salary.
The Ministry of Finance confirmed that the previous orders related to re-employment have been cancelled, restoring full financial benefits for retired officers who are appointed again in government service. The move effectively revives the double-benefit arrangement that had been suspended earlier.
Under the restored policy, re-employed retirees will now be entitled to draw their pension alongside their salary without any deductions or restrictions. Officials said the decision aims to address concerns raised by affected employees and ensure fair compensation for experienced professionals who continue to serve after retirement.
The restoration of this policy is expected to benefit a large number of retired government officials who are rehired due to their expertise and experience. It also provides clarity on financial entitlements in re-employment cases, removing uncertainty created by earlier notifications.
The government stated that the decision has taken effect immediately and applies to all relevant federal departments, ensuring uniform implementation across institutions.
