Permission for Employment after Retirement

Dopt Orders: Permission for Employment After Retirement

The Department of Personnel and Training (DOPT) has issued orders regarding the post-retirement employment of pensioners. The procedure for granting permission to pensioners for commercial employment after retirement has been revised, including changes to Form 25. This revised process makes it easier for pensioners to seek permission for employment after they retire, giving them more flexibility in their post-retirement career paths. By streamlining this process, the DOPT aims to provide more opportunities for retired individuals to continue their professional journeys while also ensuring that there is no misuse of post-retirement benefits.
