TSC Pension Processing: What Teachers Need for Faster Dues Settlement

Teachers who reach the age of 60 will receive a retirement notice two years before their retirement date, although in special circumstances, a shorter notice may be issued by the Commission.

Upon receiving the retirement notice, teachers are required to take the following steps promptly:

• Submit all necessary documents as listed in the notice.
• Provide complete details of their bank account on the provided bank forms.
• Opt to commute a portion of their pension, up to a quarter.
• Verify their tax status with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and resolve any outstanding tax obligations.

• A completed option to commute pension form in duplicate.
• A completed lump sum payment form (bank form).
• Two copies of all promotion letters/certificates.

• Marriage certificates/affidavits to confirm names for married teachers whose documents bear different names.
