#provisional pension

The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that government employees retiring without any pending disciplinary or judicial proceedings are entitled to immediate payment of provisional pension under Rules 86 and 90, regardless of delays in finalizing permanent pension. This binding directive protects retirees from financial hardship and mandates administrative compliance, reinforcing pension as a vested right, not a discretionary benefit.

Tripura High Court holds that suspended government employees are entitled to provisional pension, leave encashment, and GPF payments based on their last drawn pay, not subsistence allowance. The court also imposes 7% interest for delayed disbursements, reinforcing strict compliance with pension rules and protecting employees' financial rights during suspension.

MP High Court rules that provisional pension under amended Rule 64 of the M.P. Civil Services Pension Rules, 1976, must be granted immediately, irrespective of ongoing departmental or judicial proceedings. The judgment reinforces a statutory right, preventing administrative delays in pension disbursal for retired government servants.
