Detailed Explanation
Finance Division Office Memorandum No. 9(3)/REG.6/2025 dated 17 December 2025 concerns pension in cases of re-employment or appointment after retirement. Its operative direction is to withdraw, with immediate effect, two earlier Finance Division Office Memoranda on the subject dated 22 April 2025 and 19 June 2025.
Earlier Office Memoranda Withdrawn
The 17 December 2025 memorandum expressly withdraws the following earlier instructions with immediate effect:
| Earlier document | Date | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Finance Division O.M. No. F.9(3)R-6/2024-100 — 22 April 2025 | 22 April 2025 | Withdrawn |
| Finance Division O.M. on the same subject — 19 June 2025 | 19 June 2025 | Withdrawn |
Read the separate memorandum summaries: The 22 April 2025 memorandum introduced the choice between pension and re-employment salary for specified Federal Government pensioners re-employed after age 60. The 19 June 2025 memorandum later allowed covered pensioners to draw pension during re-employment, subject to a salary reduction equal to gross pension. Both instructions were subsequently withdrawn by the 17 December 2025 memorandum.
Effect Of the Withdrawal
The memorandum’s operative instruction is limited to withdrawal of the two earlier Office Memoranda. The 17 December 2025 document does not itself set out a replacement formula or a new substantive pension calculation rule for every re-employment or post-retirement appointment case.
Employees and pension authorities should therefore avoid relying on the withdrawn memoranda as current instructions and should consult any later Finance Division orders and the applicable pension rules when deciding an individual case.
