resigned from service after 1/1/1986. But the pension scheme of LIC was notified
only on 28 th June 1995.Some of such officers have represented for coverage
under the LIC (Employees) Pension Scheme.
In SheelkumarJain vs New India Assurance Co, the Supreme Court had held that
resignation had to be treated as voluntary retirement in such cases making the
resignees as eligible for being brought under the Pension Rules 1995 of the New
India.Some Banks have also followed the rulings in the judgment.
Now there is an SLP(C) No 24108/2012 in Senior Divisional Manager,LIC & Ors vs
Shree Lal Meena pending in the Supreme Court reportedly on the same subject and as
per SC web-site it is likely to be listed for hearing on 10/2/2015.
In the above mentioned context, I had forwarded the AIBEA mail to ED(P) so that
LIC can consider taking a pro-active decision.
Kind regards.
