D.S. Nakara & Others vs Union Of India on 17 December, 1982
That is the combined effect of Staff Circular No. 18 dated 8-4-1974
read with the Pension Fund Rules referred to supra. The reason for
prescribing the maximum age-limit of 35 or 38, as the case may be, for the
purpose of induction into Pension Fund appears to be that the employee
would be able to render minimum service of 20 years as contemplated by
Rule 22 of the Pension Fund Rules. However, there does not appear to be
any rationale or discernible basis for fixing the cut-off date as 1-1-1965,
notwithstanding their earlier confirmation in bank service. True, a new
benefit has been conferred on the ex-servicemen and therefore, a cut-off

22. SBFS-2 was introduced pursuant to recommendations of Justice
Rao Committee w.e.f. 01.01.2007 and was essentially employer's
contribution scheme with an objective that those employees retiring post
01.01.2007 who were getting lesser pensions should get enhanced pensions
with the increase in wages, but the objective was wrongly construed by
IOCL and instead of enhancing the benefits, IOCL modified the original
Scheme to reduce the pensionary benefits. Clause 13 of MoU dated
07.11.1987 clearly provided that any future Government Scheme for pension
would only be in addition. Moreover, minimum service of 15 years was the
criteria under SBF Scheme and Petitioners had already completed the
eligibility period and therefore, it was not open to IOCL to introduce an
artificial distinction and cut-off date to deprive the Petitioners of the benefits
under the earlier Scheme. Reliance was placed on the judgment in State

Supreme Court held that when the employees had completed minimum

of a new scheme conferring a new benefit.
