The Supreme Court of India, in Civil Writ Petition No. 2490 and Case No. 8222/2024, reduced the pension commutation recovery period from 15 years to 10 years and 8 months due to falling interest rates. The government also issued an gazette notification in this regard.

Original review summary

FACTLY reports that the Gazette graphic concerns PFRDA and the National Pension System, not pension commutation, and that the cited cases were filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court—not the Supreme Court. It says no ruling or notification reduced the 15-year restoration period to 10 years and 8 months; the applicable rule remains 15 years.[S1]
