•- The Nagaland Legislative Assembly has passed the bill which has become an Act that the length of Service for Retirement of State Government Service. It means, any Government Servant who have enjoyed the financial benefits such as annual increment and DA arrears etc for 35 years and it is definitely inclusive of Adhoc service as the period is counted towards his or her pension benefits.
The government can not treat differently to its employees but has to apply the same yardstick to every individual irrespective of the status and position.
Based on the Bill passed, many government servants have gone on retirement by counting the Adhoc service period towards the length of 35 years of continuous service. However, it is learnt that the government is contemplating not to include the continuous Adhoc service period towards the length of service but only to count from the date of regularization, which means, the government servant who serves 3 years in Adhoc and got regularize after 3 years will be serving 3+35=38 years. There are chances that the government servants may even serve more than 40 years if he or she gets regularize after 5 years of continuous adhoc service and such cases exist in many departments. If it is so, bill passes for 35 years of service length has no meaning.
If the government adopts such policy, it is going to commit a big blunder mistake as the government can not create two categories of service condition for its employee’s i.e. direct entry into service through interview/competition serves for 35 years where as the employees regularizes through Adhoc services serves more than 35 years. There is no logistic that the person who got regularize through Adhoc service enjoys more service length and financial benefits than the direct entry.
Another episode of Age manipulation type should not be repeated again to avoid complications as many government servants have gone on retirement counting the Adhoc period.
