Tripura High Court rules Anganwadi workers covered under Payment of Gratuity Act with retrospective effect, benefiting 10,000 workers.

Tripura High Court rules that Anganwadi workers in the state must be covered under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, with retrospective effect. This decision, based on a Supreme Court judgement related to a similar case in Gujarat, benefits approximately 10,000 Anganwadi workers and helpers. The court quashed a previous departmental order denying gratuity benefits and orders the amount to be paid within 30 days of retirement with interest if delayed.
