The University of Madras is yet to pay out pension benefits to faculty who retired as long ago as 2018. The institution is in a quagmire as there are cases pending in court. For some faculty, benefits have been withheld over audit objections. Some of it pertains to the amount of service they have put in.
Former faculty said if a teacher had not fulfilled the paperwork requirement prior to retirement, then their benefits were held over.
Recently a retired faculty member said that he had approached the university authorities several times for two years, but his dues were not settled.
