What TSC needs to process your pension dues quickly

Are you a retired TSC teacher? Are you wondering how you can have your pension paid immediately? Worry no more. The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has made necessary adjustments to ensure quick processing of pension for retired teachers.

The mandatory retirement age is sixty (60) years. A notice will be issued two years before the date of retirement. The Commission may issue a shorter retirement notice under special circumstances.

Upon receipt of the retirement notice a teacher shall;

  1. Promptly forward all the required documents listed in the notice.
  2. Indicate full particulars of his/her bank account in the bank forms.
  3. Commute a fraction of his/her pension up to a quarter.
  4. Confirm Tax status with KRA and settle any tax liabilities.
