DoPT Guidelines | Recovery from Retired Group-D Employee’s DCRG Impermissible Without Pre-Retirement Scrutiny: CAT Patna
CAT Patna quashed the recovery of Rs. 1,62,473 from a retired Group-D employee’s DCRG, ruling that pre-retirement pay fixation errors cannot be rectified post-retirement without following DoPT O.M. dated 02.03.2016. The tribunal emphasized that recoveries from pensionary benefits violate natural justice and statutory protections for retired employees.
