Model code of Conduct for pensioners

The suggestion to frame" Model Conduct Rules for Retired officers" deserves consideration. The views posted on Oct 12-13,are expressed under misleading impression that pension cannot be touched . In terms of Rule 9(2) (a) of the C.C.S. (Pension) Rules, 1972 and Rule 6 of the AIS (Death-cum- Retirement Benefit) Rules, 1958 for officers of All India Services, the Central Government ,in case of grave misconduct like "having disproportionate assets", "pecuniary loss to public funds" etc has the power to withhold or withdraw pension even as a result of major/minor penalty proceedings instituted against the Government servant, while in service, and continued after his retirement.
