https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=304878 Workers employed in statutory canteens established under Section 46 of the Factories Act, 1948 are treated as employees of the factory establishment where the occupier retains the obligation to provide and maintain the canteen, including appointment and overall control. The canteen managing committee's role is only advisory and does not make it the real employer. On that basis, service rendered in such canteens before 22.10.1980 could not be excluded from pensionary computation, and the period counted as qualifying service for pension. Retired employees were therefore entitled to recomputation of pension accordingly. en-us Fri, 26 Aug 1988 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 14:57:40 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=304878 Workers employed in statutory canteens established under Section 46 of the Factories Act, 1948 are treated as employees of the factory establishment where the occupier retains the obligation to provide and maintain the canteen, including appointment and overall control.
