There are no longer any restrictions, as there were before this year.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent notification will also affect the heads of federal institutions, the MP Scale Officers, and the employees who work under the Special Professional Pay Scales, who will not have to choose between the pension and the pay system.<\/p>\n<p>The government had first directed through the ministry on April 22, 2025, that government employees who were rehired beyond the age of 60 years could receive either pension or salary payments, but not both.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the objections raised by the Establishment Division, new guidelines were issued on the 19th of June, 2025.
