Corporate Office letter on releasing pensionary benefits to a retiree, against whom personal court cases remain pending.

At present, pensionary benefits are not being released to the retiring officials, if court cases remain pending against them. As a result, a good number of retiring employees are affected. Corporate Office has now issued direction to the CGM’s and Vigilance Heads, wherein it is stated that vigilance clearance could be given to those retiring persons, against whom personal court cases remain pending. This is a welcome decision taken by the Corporate Office. Utilising this order, circle and district secretaries are requested to take steps, to get the pension payment released, in respect of officials for whom vigilance clearance was not given earlier, in view of pending personal court cases.
