The crux revolves around the interpretation of Sections 10(10A) and 10(10AA) regarding exemptions for employees of the "State Government". The assessees claimed employer-employee relationship with the Maharashtra State Government by virtue of their employment with the erstwhile Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB). The Revenue contested this claim. However, the Tribunal held that per Section 133 of the Electricity Act, the services of MSEB employees first vested in the State Government upon reorganization, before being transferred to the newly formed generation, transmission, and distribution companies. Crucially, Section 133(2) protected the service conditions of these employees. Since the assessees underwent this reorganization process culminating in their superannuation, they were deemed eligible for exemptions u/ss 10(10A) and 10(10AA) as employees of the "State Government" by virtue of the "grand-fathering" clause in Section 133. Consequently, the assessees' claims for exemptions were upheld.
