I was set to retire from service on 31st July, but I received a chargesheet on 30th July. An inquiry was conducted, and the punishment order dated 01/06/2023 states, "reduction of pay by 2 stages in the time scale of pay until the date of his superannuation i.e. 31/07/2022 with cumulative effect." Will this have an adverse effect on my pension, which I have been receiving since August 2022?

Certainly, because it has a cumulative effect, which means that once the punishment period is over, the scale will not revert to its previous state. The status quo that existed before the punishment will not be maintained. Had it been "without cumulative effect," your scale would return to the current scale once the punishment period is over. The only loss of income due to such punishment is the two increment amounts for one or two years. However, since it is with cumulative effect, once the punishment period is over, you will start earning increments on the reduced salary. As the date of retirement is the same, you cannot receive that increment. This means the two increments in the reduced scale will be the base for your pension. If you are receiving a pension based on the actual basic salary, it will need to be recalculated based on the reduced basic salary.
