TSC to Expedite Pension Release and Job Evaluation.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has promised to release pensions faster for retiring teachers and do a job evaluation as part of the 2025–2029 Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs).
The fast tracking of pension clearance is to get rid of the long delays that have been affecting teachers exiting service. Retired teachers have been facing long waiting periods before accessing their benefits and this has caused financial hardship and uncertainty. TSC will now streamline the process so that retirees get their dues on time and efficiently.
TSC Issues Mandatory Documentation Checklist for Retiring Teachers
The commission has outlined the following mandatory documents to be submitted by retiring teachers for processing of their pension dues. Retiring teachers should submit the following:
- Duly filled TSC clearance certificate
- Two copies of bank plate (both sides)
- Two copies of national identity card (both sides)
- Duly completed option to commute pension form in duplicate.
- Lump Sum Payment” bank form
- Two copies each of all promotion letters and certificates
- First pay slip showing deductions under Women’s and Children’s Pensions Scheme (WCPS) for male teachers
- Marriage certificates or sworn affidavits for married teachers with different document names
- For UTs, attach NSSF statement
- Two copies of KRA PIN certificate
All above documents are required for processing of pension entitlements.
Also the Commission will do a comprehensive job evaluation to re-look at roles, responsibilities and pay structures across all teaching cadres. This review will be to align compensation with classroom and administrative demands and address the inconsistencies in workload and remuneration that have been there for years.
