Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that employees of the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation are not entitled to pensionary benefits under the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation Employees Pension Regulations, 1989 due to their failure to deposit the employer's share of the Contributory Provident Fund (CPF) with interest within the stipulated time. The Court emphasized that the option to switch to the pension scheme was contingent upon compliance with the regulations, specifically Clause 3(1), which mandates timely payment. The Court upheld the High Court's directive to accept the option for pension only if the requisite payment was made, thereby affirming the Corporation's decision to reject the claims for pension benefits.
