Ad-hoc Service Regularized Without Break Counts as Qualifying Service for Gratuity | U.P. Retirement Benefit Rules, 1961 : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that continuous ad-hoc service, when later regularized without any break, must be counted toward qualifying service for gratuity under the U.P. Retirement Benefit Rules, 1961. This clarifies a critical entitlement for thousands of state employees whose initial appointments were temporary but later formalized, ensuring fair computation of retirement benefits.
