Notional Promotion After Retirement Vests Right to Arrears and Pension Recalculation | CGHC Affirms Date-of-Order Doctrine : CGHC
The Chhattisgarh High Court ruled that a promotion order issued before retirement, even if communicated post-retirement, creates a vested right to arrears and pension recalculations based on the date of the order, not its communication. This clarifies that government servants who receive delayed promotion orders retain full financial benefits tied to the higher post, reinforcing the principle that substantive rights accrue at the time of decision, not notification.
