Dear Pensioner Friends,
1)All of us were so glad that LIC could introduce the
much-awaited Family Floater Policy to LIC pensioners,after our rigorous
followup with our GIC brethren & New India Pensioners Fedns,their model
FFPolicy framework,premium structure,benefits & privileges as also
conditions, wef 1/7/2014.We wrote to LIC CO then too ,to ensure that we are
aware of happenings that affect us & it is the duty of LIC also to extend
those benefits to us also
2)AIRIEF during 9th
GC Meeting at Bengaluru, passed important Resolutions & sent them to CO Top
dignitaries. We informed the management that it is customary when New Schemes
are introduced, automatically empathy is shown & those who are left out of
the Mediclaim scheme, for one reason or the other, are also given the
opportunity to join the Scheme now.This happened when ,after so much of
vigorous canvassing & dinning into the ears of LIC,in 2009 & 2010,same
subsidy as was eligible for Employees,75% rebate in premium could be secured
for Pensioners in May 2010 Board
meeting.I still recall that Sri A.K.Dasgupta,then MD with whom I was keeping
fairly constant touch ,suggesting to him, small small concessions will be of no
avail & for pensioners who are already facing so many crunches & health
expenses are pretty high,only such a similar footing of 75% rebate must be
graciously given; indeed he rang me up after Board meeting this has been approved.I
profusely thanked him for this noble act.
3)This time,when I took up with EDP at the time of FFP introduction,
he told me he will keep in mind & after ONE full years claim experience,they
will pursue the matter with New India & come to conclusions. So, when LIC
CO Circular 17 Dec 2014 was received,we
were glad LIC is open to still offer opportunity for employees/pensioners to
choose higher Optional Sum Assured before SATURDAY
28th February , 2015.We knew OTP,One Time Option has to come
later.The DDay for exercising higher SA is
nearing
4)I am sending this APPEAL as regularly I am following up
with SZO.I learn the flow is not many.Those who have sent choice, opt for next
higher SA & not Rs15 lacs or Rs20 lacs.Letters have been issued long
back,earlier Ready Reckoner premium was also sent alongwith the letter by SZO. Such
opportunity shall never come again.
PLEASE KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR PENSION DISBURSING OFFICE,
MEET MEDICLAIM OFFICER OR STAFF,TALK TO THEM ,ASCERTAIN & CLARIFY YOUR
QUERY & DO TAKE THE RIGHT & CORRECT CHOICE, WELL BEFORE 28February,
2015 & comply with payment of premium .HEALTH is WEALTH .There should not
be any regrets later.
Greetings & Goodluck,
