The UTTAR PRADESH ENTITLEMENT TO PENSION AND VALIDATION ACT, 2025

Finance20256 sections

This Act clarifies pension eligibility for government employees in Uttar Pradesh. It establishes that individuals who are not "substantive appointees"—meaning they were not appointed through the prescribed formal procedures to a sanctioned post—and who have contributed to a Contributory Provident Fund or Employees’ Provident Fund are ineligible for a government pension. The Act applies retrospectively from April 1, 1961, effectively validating past government decisions to deny pensions to such individuals, regardless of any previous court rulings to the contrary. It serves to standardize pension rules and prevent claims from non-permanent or contract-based staff who already received provident fund benefits.
