About two years before the scheduled retirement date, eligible teachers receive a formal retirement notice from the TSC, a critical step in the retirement procedure.
Upon receiving this notice, teachers are required to complete various tasks to streamline the retirement process.
These tasks involve promptly submitting all necessary documents as outlined,
- providing comprehensive bank account details via specified bank forms, and
- considering the option to commute a portion of their pension,
- offering financial flexibility in their post-retirement years.
Additionally, teachers must ensure their tax status with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is verified and address any outstanding tax liabilities.

This meticulous process aims to assure teachers that their financial matters are well-managed as they transition into a new phase of life.
There are specific circumstances where a teacher in Kenya can opt for retirement at the age of 50,
given they have served continuously for at least 10 years on Permanent and Pensionable terms.
To initiate the retirement process at this age, the teacher needs to submit a written application through their institution’s head,
providing a three-month notice and specifying the intended retirement date.
Upon receipt of such an application, the TSC follows a structured process.
Firstly, the TSC reviews the teacher’s retirement request and issues an official retirement notice.
Subsequently, the Commission commences the retirement claim processing upon receiving all the necessary documents from the teacher,
which play a vital role in ensuring accuracy and completeness of relevant information.

Once the retirement claim is thoroughly processed and documented, the TSC forwards it to the Director of Pensions at the Treasury for the final payment procedures.
This systematic approach ensures that teachers opting for retirement at the age of 50 with the requisite years
of service can efficiently navigate the retirement process and receive their entitled benefits in a timely manner.
