Resignation does not preclude post-retirement medical benefits under Rule 8.4 of the Medical Attendance Rules 2009 | Voluntary retirement vs resignation interpretation : Delhi HC
A Delhi High Court ruling confirms that an employee who voluntarily retires after 25 years of service remains eligible for post-retirement medical facilities, declaring the 2010 amendment that removed ‘resignation’ from Rule 8.4 of the Medical Attendance Rules 2009 void. The decision obliges the Centre for Railway Information Systems to activate and fund the scheme for the retiree and spouse, setting a precedent for similar public-sector bodies.
