Transfer of employees of the old company.
(1) Every officer or other employee of the old
company (except a director or any managerial personnel specified in section 197A of the Companies
Act, 1956 (1 of 1956), or any other person entitled to manage the whole or a substantial part of the
business of the old company under a special agreement with that company) in the employment of the old
company immediately before the appointed day shall, in so far as such officer or other employee is
employed in connection with the affairs of the undertaking of the old company, become, as from the
appointed day, an officer or other employee, as the case may be, of the Central Government and, on the
transfer of such undertaking to the new company, of that company, and shall hold his office on the same
terms and conditions and with the same rights to pension, gratuity and other matters as would have been
admissible to him if the undertaking of the old company had not been transferred to and vested in the
Central Government or the new company, and continue to do so unless and until his employment in the
Central Government or the new company is duly terminated for until the remuneration, terms or
conditions of service are duly altered by the Central Government or the new company, as the case may
be:
Provided that if the alteration so made is not acceptable to any officer or other employee, his
employment shall be terminated on payment to him by the Central Government or the new company, as
the case may be, of an amount equivalent to three months remuneration in the case of permanent
employees and one months remuneration in the case of other employees:
Provided further that nothing contained in this sub-section shall apply to any officer or other
employee who has, by notice in writing given to the Central Government or the new company, within
thirty days next following the appointed day, intimated his intention of not becoming an officer or other
employee of the Central Government or the new company, as the case may be.
(2) For the persons, who, immediately before the appointed day, were the trustees for any pension,
provident fund, gratuity or other like fund constituted for the officers or other employees of the old
company, there shall be substituted as trustees such persons as the Central Government or the new
company may, by general or special order, specify.
(3) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947), or in any
other law for the time being in force, the transfer of the services of any officer or other employee from the
old company to the Central Government or the new company shall not entitle such officer or other
employee to any compensation under that Act or other law, and no such claim shall be entertained by any
court, tribunal or other authority.
