Respected Sir/Madam,
I am working in Central Government. I was eligible for the payment of Approximately Rs. 50000 in 2009. I made several communications to administration of my department explaining my eligibility for the payment and requesting to release the payment but the competent authority informed me two times that I am not eligible for the payment and he didn't release my payment. When I wrote to next higher authority about my eligibility and requested him to release the payment with accumulated interest, the competent authority,who was earlier denying, released the payment in 2013 i.e. after four years. I was not paid the interest of four years on my amount. The competent authority said that there is no provision of paying interest as this is the procedural administrative mistake. May I get the interest of four years from the department or erring officer on my delayed payment through Hon'ble courts? If yes, should I approach to Hon'ble Tribunals or Hon'ble High Courts?
With kind regards

send another representation to the department claiming the interest.
If the department has mentioned that there is no provision to pay interest, go through the service rules and proceed accordingly.

You can succeed.
Even if the Dept. has to recover it from the official that was blocking the payment.
You may go thru:
