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.
