State Govt Employee Who Worked On Deputation In Central Govt Dept Not Entitled To Pension As Per CCS Rules : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of India has ruled that a state government employee working on deputation in a central government department is not entitled to pension benefits under the Central Civil Services (CCS) rules. The case arose when an employee, who had worked for a period on deputation, sought pension benefits based on the period of service in the central department. The Court clarified that the pension entitlement under CCS rules applies only to those employees who are part of the central government service and not to those on deputation. The ruling emphasizes the distinction between permanent government service and deputation, thereby affecting the pension rights of deputed employees and offering clarity on pension-related issues.
