Under Section 18(4), notwithstanding anything contained in the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 or any OTHER law for the time being in force, the transfer of services of IAAI/NAA officers/employees to the Authority shall:

Section 18(4) uses a broad 'notwithstanding' formulation covering not just the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 specifically, but ANY OTHER law for the time being in force, to categorically bar compensation claims arising purely from the STATUTORY TRANSFER of employment from IAAI/NAA to the Authority - and this bar extends to preventing any court, tribunal, OR OTHER AUTHORITY from even entertaining such a claim, not merely deciding it against the employee. This means the bar operates as a jurisdictional ouster, not merely a substantive defence, and it applies uniformly regardless of the employee's cadre, without any one-year-salary entitlement, NCLT recourse, or trade-union-consent precondition - reinforcing that the 1994 merger was designed to be entirely compensation-neutral for transferred staff.
