I joined one PSU in 1976 and resigned in 1982. I re-joined the same PSU in June1983 and thereafter took VRS in Nov 1998. Upon re-entry in 1983 my pay was protected even though I was re-appointed at the entry level. Later by virtue of existing guidelines for such cases I was considered for promotion with my erst while collegues as and when their promotion was due. My seniority was restored along with that of my ex-batch mates after the promotion. On VRS in Nov '98 all my dues like PF& Gratitity were settled for the entire period i.e 76 to 82 & 83 to 98. Ex-gratia VRS amount , however , was settled for the period of 1983 to 1998 i.e for the period after re-joining only. I have been representing &appealing for the VRS ex-gratia amount for the period of 1976 to 1982 on the ground that since my seniority was restored after due promotion & also my last drawn pay was protected , my service for the period 1976 to 1982 should be considered for the purposes of VRS ex-gratia as well. QUESTION : IN such cases is there any legal provisions to stake my claim. I sincerely feel I am morally justified in staking my CLAIM. In may case the due amount will be 2.5 lakhs approx ( without any interest) |
