Bank of Maharashtra Widow Loses Pension Claim Despite Receiving PF and Gratuity
The Bank of Maharashtra introduced a one-time pension scheme option on April 27, 2010, open to serving employees, retirees, and families of deceased employees under specific conditions. A widow whose husband passed away in 2006 sought to enroll in the scheme and claim pension benefits. Although she had already received provident fund and gratuity settlements following her husband's death, she pursued a separate pension entitlement. The High Court examined her eligibility under the prescribed terms of the 2010 scheme and ultimately rejected her pension claim. The ruling highlighted that meeting certain conditions was mandatory for enrollment, and the widow's case did not satisfy those requirements.
