The Government of Pakistan, Finance Division (Regulations Wing) issued a Notification on 22-04-2025 in connection with only one pension or salary after retirement new job. The retired employees, if they get jobs after retirement, will have one option: either the pay/allowances of the new job or the pension. The details are as follows:
Only Pension or Salary after Retirement New Job
Notification F.No. 9(3)R-6/2024-100 dated 22 April 2025
According to the notification, the undersigned is directed to refer to the subject noted above and to state that, on the recommendations of Pay and Pension Commission-2020, it has been decided that henceforth, in an event where a pensioner of the Federal Government after the age of 60 years, is re-employed/appointed in public service after retirement whether on regular/contract basis or whatsoever mode of employment, the pensioner shall have the option to retain either his/her pension or to draw the salary of said employment during the currency of that employment.

Pension In Case Of Re-Employment/ Appointment After Retirement
As per the Notification that the Finance Division issued on 22 April 2025, if the Government employees, after the age of sixty years retirement, get a fresh job / re-appointment, then the employees will get only pension or pay. The employee will have to choose one of the two options.
- This option is for Jobs regularly or a contract
- This option is only available during the time/tenure of the new job; after the end of a new job, the employee can return to their original pay and allowances. Or whatever is better for him.
Clarification Required
In this Notification, this option is for the employee who gets retirement on 60 years age. But if the employee gets retirement at 59 years of age, 58 years of age, or so on, will this policy be applicable to the employee or not? I hope the Finance Division will soon clarify the situation.
