Dear Sir,
We
thank you very much for sparing your Most Valuable Time time for
helping Bank Pensioners who are deprived of their legitimate benefits
for the last 20 years.In this regard we may be permitted to submit the
following for your kind consideration.
1. About
10 percent of bank retirees are not given second option for
pension.These retirees are suffering to make both ends meet.These are
the people who resigned or compulsorily retired after putting in more
than 20 to 35 years of service.In RBI and central govt all retirees who
completed 20 years of service are given full pension.So this is most
legitimate demand.
2 .Most
of the pensioners and employees are getting 100 percent DA
neutralisation wef 01/05/2015.But just 15 percent of total pensioners
who retired before 01/11/2002 were discriminated and denied this
benefit.Consequently these pensioners are drawing Rs 1000 to 8000 less
than their counterparts who retired after that date.This is most
unlawful and unjust discrimination and we request you to kindly restore
this benefit and eliminate unjust discrimination and humiliation meted
out to the very old and sick pensioners.This benefit was already
restored in RBI wef 01/05/2005.
3. updation is not being done for the past 20 years.Because of that a
General Manager retired in 1994 is getting pension less than that of a
clerk retiring today.Similarly General Manager retired in 1994 gets less
than half of what a General Manager retiring getting today.Thus the
senior pensioners are discriminated and humiliated as the gap between
the old and new pensioners is widening year after year.This is because
of Pensions are not updated whenever wage revision takes place as is the
practice in Central and State govts.As per recent Supreme Court
verdict,it is declared that updation of pension is part and parcel of
pension and it must be revised whenever salaries are revised.
As
the pensioners become older day by day ,their medical and other
expenses will go up.So central govt is increasing the pensions by 25 to
100 percent more than their normal pension.But in Banks there is no
parity between old and new pensioners in the absence of updation leave
alone giving incremental pension as the age crosses 80 years.
4. Family
pension is fixed very low at the time of launching of the scheme with
an assurance of improvement in the subsequent bipartites.But nothing was
done subsequently and the family pensioners are getting less than 50
per cent of what their counterparts in RBI and central govt are getting.
Finally
we once again request you to kindly ensure that these Most Important
,Just and Humanitarian demands of Bank pensioners.We will be very much
thankful to you throughout our life for using your Good offices for the
Welfare of the pensioners.
Yours Faithfully,
P B Sarma.
Regards,
E.R.Iyer
