Dear
Comrades:
II ROUND
SUB COMMITTEE MEETING ON
OFFICERS ISSUE
In
continuation of the earlier meeting held on January 14, 2015 one more
round of discussion on Officers issues, was held at IBA office today,
at 3.00 pm.
IBA was
represented by Sh. Ashwini Kumar, CMD, Dena Bank, Sh. Shailesh Verma,
CGM, SBI, Sh.M.V.Tanksale, CEO, IBA, Sh. K. Unnikrishnan, Dy.CEO, IBA,
besides officials of HRD Department of IBA. AIBOA and INBOC were
representated by its General Secretaries. Other organizational
representatives were also present.
The CEO,
IBA while initiating the discussion complemented for arriving at the
M.O.U on 23rd February, 2015, emphasized the need to conclude
the finalization of the matters at the earliest. Shri Ashwini Kumar
also congratulated the leadership for clinching the wage component
together with 2 days holidays on Saturdays.
It was mutually accepted that the salary
and allowances, as well as the perquisites and medical facilities listed
in the charter of demand will be taken up for discussions once the draft
scales are drawn up by the IBA for discussion.
In the matter of discipline and Appeal
regulations, it was agreed to submit once again a comprehensive chart to
IBA which will be taken up for discussion by a small committee of IBA
for further discussion in the HR committee of the IBA. In the matter
of regulated working hours, it was agreed by IBA to issue a
communication to the member banks, not to call officers on Sundays and
Holidays, except on some specified emergent circumstances.
In the matter of
leave rules, it has been broadly agreed
to follow the provisions of the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations.
A clear submission was made to
monetize the LTC scheme on the
lines of RBI. The income
stipulation for categorizing the “dependent”
has been agreed to be enhanced substantially
with the stipulation that the dependent is not an Income Tax payee. It
has been agreed to recommend to
the government to consider Banking Administrative Tribunal on the lines
of CAT. It was also informed that
the protection of emoluments on transfer will also be positively
considered, as the same was drawing the attention of the top management
team of the various banks. As the issues discussed are to be given an
appropriate shape, we may term this round of discussion as
inconclusive. In our considered assessment there is certainly a forward
movement in this round of discussion.
It was expressed by the representatives
of IBA to arrive at a positive conclusion by the end of this month
through mutually convenient date of negotiations. It was further
informed that IBA is actively engaged in drawing up the draft scales of
pay and expected to discuss the same at an earliest possible time with
us.
Our
endeavour to reach a reasonable and respectable settlement in terms of
monetary gains as well as appropriate advancement in the other service
regulations, like discipline and appeal regulations, will continue.
With
Greetings.
Yours
Comradely,
(S.
NAGARAJAN)
GENERAL SECRETARY
