I joined a government organization in 1988 through the employment exchange, along with many others. While everyone else was made permanent in 1990, I was only regularized in 2014 after repeated requests. Can I request my service period be counted from 1990, like the others, so I can receive the benefits I deserve from that date?

Based on Indian laws, you can file a case for regularization with back pay from 1990. The courts have ruled that if a delay in regularization is due to the employer’s fault, the employee’s service is counted from the date they should have been regularized. You can present your case and seek legal counsel to understand the specific legal provisions and your chances of success.
