Dear colleague,
From your post what is understood is that you were due for superannuation ( Retirement on reaching the age of retirement based on your date of birth admitted on company's record) company on 18-3- 2017 but you were retired on 31-3 2017. Between this period ,you were issued with the charge-sheet on 22 nd March, 2017.
Please clarify whether your date of birth was admitted by the company and you were informed of it in writing. Secondly ,was any communiaction in writing given to you informing you that you will retire on 31st march instead of due date of 18th March,
If the answer to the above is yes, the extension of your date of superannuation appears prima facie illegal. On the face of it and without going into the merits in the absence of relevant information, you have retired on 18th of March, 2017 and for all practical purposes, the employer-employee relationship has ceased to exist immediately thereafter.
Consequently, the charge-sheet issued to you after the due date of retirement is null and void and that should be your preliminary stand in the enquiry.
