Central government employees are awaiting the implementation of the Eighth Pay Commission. Before its implementation, there's good news for them. The news is that the Eighth Pay Commission may amend a 40-year-old rule. This will benefit retired central government employees.

According to reports, pensioners and employee unions have demanded that the 15-year period for resumption of premature pensions be reduced. Several unions have recommended to the 8th Pay Commission that this period be extended to 10 to 12 years.

Unions argued that the current rule is based on decades-old economic and actuarial assumptions. It's worth noting that the 15-year commuted pension rule was introduced in 1986. A change to this rule would be good news for employees.
