These employees will not get the benefit of gratuity, pension and PF, know what has changed in the rule

 

The government has changed some rules due to which some employees will no longer get the benefit of gratuity, pension and provident fund.

The central government has now changed the rules for some members. Now they will not get the benefit of PF, gratuity and pension. This amendment has been made in Rule 13. The government has said that these members will no longer be considered eligible for pension and PF (Provident Fund), as they cannot avail the two services at the same time.

Who will not get this benefit?

As per Central Government directives, the members of Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) and Goods and Services Tax (GST) Tribunal will not be given the benefit of gratuity, pension and PF. In addition, the tribunal membership will be placed in the full-time employed category, which means that they will have to resign from a service.

Why not benefit?

Earlier, serving High Court or Supreme Court judges were sometimes appointed as Chairman or Member despite their current service. So they were entitled to pension and other benefits. But now if a serving Judge of any Court is appointed as the Chairman of the Tribunal or as a member of the Tribunal, they have to resign from their substantial service or take voluntary retirement from service before joining the Tribunal. They cannot avail both at the same time.

Lawyers were excluded from the benefit

The revised tribunal rules say the change comes at a time when the central government is in the process of setting up a GST Appellate Tribunal for expeditious disposal of pending tax cases and litigation. Earlier, the government had barred lawyers from becoming judicial members.
