Intimation of cases of convicted pensioners

(2) Intimation of cases of convicted pensioners. - Under Article 351, CSR [Rule 8, CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972] future good conduct is an implied condition of the grant of every pension and Government has the right to withhold or withdraw a pension or any part of it if the pensioner is convicted of a serious crime or found guilty of grave misconduct. It is, therefore, necessary to ensure that cases where pensioners are convicted by a Court of any crime are also brought to the notice of Government. The Government of India, Ministry of Home Affairs, therefore, request that if the State Government have no objection, instructions may kindly be issued to prosecuting officers under the control of the State Government to ensure the prompt intimation of such cases to the administrative authorities concerned in future.
