Excess Payment Recovery - Courts generally prohibit recovery from retired employees when excess payments are due to administrative or clerical errors, especially when payments were made without employee fault or fraud. The courts emphasize principles of natural justice, requiring employees to be heard before recovery actions are initiated. Indian Bank (Erstwhile Allahabad Bank) VS Kiran Srivastava W/o Late U. P.

Legal Principles - Recovery of excess payments must align with equity and fairness. Recovery based on mistakes, such as clerical errors or provisional payments, is often deemed illegal if it results in hardship or violates principles of natural justice. Orders for recovery are typically quashed when payments are made due to administrative errors without employee misconduct.

Analysis and Conclusion:
Courts in Madhya Pradesh have consistently ruled that recovery of excess pension or salary payments from retired employees is illegal when such payments resulted from employer’s clerical or administrative errors, provided the employee is not at fault. The principles of natural justice demand that employees are heard before any recovery is enforced. Orders attempting recovery under these circumstances are often quashed to prevent unjust enrichment and uphold fairness.
