Pillai for the respondent. CORAM: S.B. MHASE & SMT.V.K. TAHILRAMANI, JJ. DATED: 13TH FEBRUARY, 2008 P.C. : 1. Heard. 2. This Petition is in respect of Productivity Linked Incentive (PLI) to be payable to the officers who are on deputation to Air India. There is no dispute that under the Air India Service Rules, the employees are entitled to it. Only because the officers are on deputation from other Government departments they are deprived of the PLI payments. This shows the manner in which the regular PLI payments are being avoided. If the appointed person is directly appointed the : 2 : respondents are bound to give him PLI. However, PLI is not paid to persons who are taken on deputation. In fact, if the person equally situated under the same Management is getting the PLI payments, the Management is bound to ay the same pay to the employees on deputation who are equally situated. The Central Administrative Tribunal has taken proper view of the matter. No interference is required. Therefore, the Petition is rejected. Sd/- Sd/- [SMT.V.K. TAHILRAMANI, J.] [SMT.V.K.
