Retrospective abolition of the Transport and Marketing Assistance scheme by Notification dated 25.03.2022 is legally impermissible because the statutory power to amend or withdraw a scheme does not authorize retrospective removal of accrued or vested rights; earlier judicial interpretation of the statutory amendment power supports this principle.
