Pensionable Service | Daily Wager Service Countable Only If Appointment Complied with Recruitment Rules, 1977 : MP HC Jabalpur
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that daily wage service can be counted as pensionable service under the Pension Rules, 1979, but only if the initial appointment strictly adhered to the Recruitment Rules of 1977. This clarifies a critical threshold for thousands of informal workers seeking pension benefits, making procedural compliance - not just length of service - the decisive factor.
