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.

Notification Submission
A copy is forwarded for information and necessary action to the following offices/departments:

- All District Accounts Officers in the Punjab.
- Treasury Officer, Lahore.
Clarification of Notification
According to the Notification, if an employee gets a job after retirement, then the employee can opt for only one, their previous pension or their new salary. The employee cannot claim both pension and salary. The Finance Division Government of Pakistan has also issued the Notification of Only One Pension or Pay on Job After Retirement. But in the Finance Division Notification, there is a mention of retirement on 60 years age. I hope the Finance Division will soon clarify the same.
AoA
Plz clarify it will applicable to exiting employee as well or on new appointment will face the change as this clarification showing ” if pension after retirement is appointed” it will also applying on exiting re employed
I shall try to get the clarification of the same soon In Sha Allah.
