    Summary: The Calcutta High Court granted Jatin Barma's writ petition seeking interest on delayed gratuity and arrear pension payments. Barma, a school clerk, retired on January 31, 2021, but received his gratuity and arrear pension only on December 12, 2021—a considerable delay. The court held that the State has a bounden duty to disburse pensionary benefits promptly, and employees are entitled to interest on delayed payments. Though Barma claimed 18% interest, the court awarded 8% per annum from the date following retirement until actual payment, directing payment within six weeks.
