They will not get pension
These days, a post is going viral on social media platforms and WhatsApp, in which it is being claimed that under the new Finance X 2025, the central employees who will retire and complete their service will not get the benefit of pension and DA. PIB has fact checked this and has termed such news as misleading and false.
A message circulating on WhatsApp claimed that the central government has withdrawn post-retirement benefits such as DA hike and pay commission revision for retired employees under the Finance Act 2025. Which is completely wrong and misleading news. Nothing like this has been done by the government. However, some rules related to pension have been amended, taking the help of which some people are spreading fake news.

While fact checking, PIB said that there has been a new change in Rule 37 of CCS Pension Rules 2021. If a PSU employee has joined a government job and is later fired due to wrongdoing, his pension and all retirement benefits will be lost forever. Earlier this did not happen, now the punishment has become more strict. This advises employees to work honestly.
According to earlier rules, retirement benefits of employees dismissed or removed from service in public sector undertakings could not be terminated. Such employees continued to receive these benefits. But now the government has completely abolished this provision. In future, no employee will get retirement benefits after dismissal. It has also been added in the new rules that the provisions of granting pension, family pension or compassionate allowance on the basis of good conduct will no longer be applicable to dismissed or relieved employees.
