If an official is held guilty of a serious misconduct,being commited by him/her prior to four years of his/her retirement, then his/her pension can be stayed by Govt.
A V Vishal (Expert) 13 January 2011
The Central Government may withhold or withdraw any pension or any part of it, for a specified period or indefinitely, on a reference from the State Government concerned, if after retirement a pensioner is convicted of a serious crime or be guilty of grave misconduct.
Removal, Dismissal or Resignation from Service.-(1) No retirement benefits may be granted to a person who has been dismissed or removed from the Service or who has resigned from the Service:

Provided that, if the circumstances of the case so warrant the State Government may grant to a person who has been dismissed orremoved from the Service a compassionate allowance not exceeding two-thirds of the retirement benefits which would have been admissible to him if he had been invalidated and not dismissed or removed from the Service.
