Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the withdrawal of the 'computer increment' benefit by the appellant-bank, stating that the Central Government has the authority under Section 17(1) of the RRB Act to determine pay structures for Regional Rural Bank employees. The Court emphasized that the notification issued on 11th April 2001, which aimed to align RRB pay scales with nationalized banks, was subject to proper implementation and could be revised. The Court concluded that the withdrawal of the increment was valid and did not violate any statutory provisions.
