https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171489 Regulation 51(2) of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (Staff) Regulations, 1960 authorises the Chairman only to regulate fixation of revised pay, the date of revision, eligibility, and connected incidental matters within Chapter IV. Gratuity is separately governed by Regulation 77 in Chapter VII, so the incidental power under Regulation 51(2) cannot be extended to fix cut-off dates that alter gratuity. A delegated authority must remain within the scope of the enabling provision, and a distinct statutory retirement benefit cannot be curtailed through instructions issued under a provision concerned with pay and allowances. en-us Tue, 12 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 18:18:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171489 Regulation 51(2) of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (Staff) Regulations, 1960 authorises the Chairman only to regulate fixation of revised pay, the date of revision, eligibility, and connected incidental matters within Chapter IV.
