    Case Summary: WPA/841/2026 The High Court at Calcutta allowed Ramesh Rai's petition seeking interest on delayed pension and gratuity payments. Rai, an Assistant Teacher who retired on May 31, 2020, received his gratuity and arrear pension only on February 19, 2026—over five years later. The court found the delay considerable and held that the State has a duty to disburse pensionary benefits promptly. The court directed the pension authorities to pay interest at 8% per annum (rather than the requested 18%) from the date following retirement to actual payment, within six weeks. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
