Contribution period for calculating basic pension and pay the difference in pension amount from the date of the petitioner’s retirement with 10% interest to the petitioner.” 2. The brief facts of the case are as follows:- 2.1 The petitioner joined the services of the respondent corporation as a Driver (Trainee) on 17.01.1986 and his services were subsequently regularised and made permanent on 03.09.1987. After rendering about 31 years of continuous service, the petitioner retired from service on 31.01.2017, While such being the case, while calculating his basic pension, the service rendered by the petitioner prior to his confirmation i.e., the period from 17.01.1986 to 03.09.1987 was not taken into consideration, despite the fact that P.F. contributions were deducted from the petitioner’s salary right from the date of his initial appointment. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner made a representation dated 04.05.2026 before the respondents requesting the inclusion of his trainee service for pensionary benefits and to pay full pension. However, till date, no orders have been passed on the said representation. Hence, the petitioner has approached this Court by way of filing this Writ Petition seeking the above relief. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.31071 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 3.
