BPCL’s order barring employees with less than 15 years of service from post-retirement medical scheme quashed

The Hindu  

The Kerala High Court has directed Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited to continue to provide the Post Retirement Medical Benefit Scheme to employees with less than 15 years of service in accordance with the long-term settlement. Allowing the petition, the court also quashed the company's notification depriving medical benefits to the employees who had not completed 15 years service as on June 1, 2021. The petitioners said that the scheme was introduced as part of welfare measures to provide sustainable medical benefits to eligible employees and their dependants in view of the occupational hazards arising from the employment. The court observed that any issue over denial of benefits of the provisions of PRMBS incorporated in a settlement to a group of employees could not constitute an industrial dispute as contemplated under the Section.
