As in the above COMMENT By Sri S. Parmarbh, It is true the politicians are SOCIAL WORKERS AND ARE ELECTED BY PUBLIC, accodingly they are not to be TAXED. On the basis of the HON’ BLE SUPREME COURT VERSION as given below in last PARA in CAPITAL LETTERS IN ONE OF THE CASE RELATED TO CENTRAL Govt. PENSIONERS.
Acordingly the Govt. pensioners should NOT also be TAXED.
“2. Do pensioners entitled to receive superannuation or retiring pension under Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972 (‘1972 Rules’ for short) form a class as a whole’? Is the date of retirement a relevant consideration for eligibility when a revised formula for computation of pension is ushered in and made effective from a specified date? Would differential treatment to pensioners related to the date of retirement qua the revised formula for computation of pension attract Article 14 of the Constitution and the element of discrimination liable to be declared unconstitutional as being violative of Article 14? These and the related questions
debated in this group of petitions call for an answer in the backdrop of a welfare State and bearing in mind that pension is a socio-economic justice measure providing relief when advancing age gradually but irrevocably impairs capacity to stand on one’s own feet.”
And the Hon ‘ble Supreme Court answered the questions as follows:
5
“(1) Pension is neither a bounty not a matter of grace depending upon the sweet will of the employer, nor an ex gratia payment. It is a payment for the past service rendered.
“IT IS A SOCIAL WELFARE MEASURE RENDERING SOCIO-ECONOMIC JUSTICE TO THOSE WHO IN THE HEY-DAY OF THEIR LIFE CEASELESSLY TOILED FOR EMPLOYER ON AN ASSURANCE THAT IN THEIR OLD AGE THEY WOULD NOT BE LEFT IN LURCH. PENSION AS A RETIREMENT BENEFIT IS IN CONSONANCE WITH AND AND FURTHERANCE OF GOALS OF THE CONSTITUTION. The most practical raison detre for pension is the inability to provide for oneself due to old age. It creates a vested right and is governed by the statutory rules such as the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules which are enacted in exercise of power conferred by Article 309 and 148 (5) of the Constitution.”
S. Parmarbh says
Politicins are not paying taxes on their salaries than why defense pensioners are paying. Shame on Modi Govt.
