If you have already taken retirement and you are accused in a case it will not affect your retirement pension or gratuity as there is no such things which can prevent the retirement benefit even if you are convicted for the offence . It will remain continuously in force no matter what. Had this happened during the time of the subsistence of the government job then it would have affected your prospects of getting the retirement benefits.

Pension cannot be stopped for any conduct of the person post his retirement. It's only when the person, while being in service, commits any act that entails disciplinary action, pension can be withheld. However, in your case, there are no valid grounds per se to stop pension

Preliminary opinion: see in the light of limited facts can give you answer but if the act was not done against thw department's interest or after the service period then there can not accrue any direct nexus between pension and crime. Need to see the pension and employment documents coupled with the criminal proceeding files to advice properly.
