Sandhya Sherkhane Vinod Kumar Menon vinodm@ mid- day. com AROUND 100 employees of Mumbai university ( class I to class IV) returned home disappointed on Friday as their two- year fight for retirement benefits went unanswered yet again. Retired after 2015, the employees who served the varsity in various capacities for 30- 40 years alleged they were being deprived of their retirement benefits by an apathetic government.

THE university has now begun ad hoc payment of R 8,000 for class IV, R 10,000 for class II and III and R 15,000 for class I retired employees per month from the university fund, with the condition that this amount will be deducted from their monthly pension once it is released.
