Tamil Nadu withdrew order capping interim pension payout at ₹10,000 plus dearness relief
Chennai, Tamil Nadu17 Oct 2026
The Tamil Nadu government withdrew its September 11 order that restricted interim monthly pension payout to ₹10,000 plus dearness relief. It directed treasuries to revert to the June 16 Government Order arrangement and to stop any recoveries initiated under the September 11 letter.
Why it matters
This restores higher interim pension payouts (30% of last drawn basic pay or ₹10,000, whichever is higher, plus 60% dearness relief) and halts recovery actions for affected retirees and families until final eligibility is settled under TAPS rules.
