HEARTY WELCOME AS RMOS, SZO CHENNAI

Dear Sri Anil Kumar,

1)We find from Promotion & Transfer List of CO, you are posted as RMOS,SZO ,Chennai

  We extend a very hearty welcome to U .

2)We had very useful, productive & fruitful relations with earlier Sri Rajivan Nair who is now promoted to ED cadre & posted as ED,CLIA,CO Mumbai

  We also had nice time  with Sri Masil JeyaMohan RMOS who is transferred as RM PIR ,here in SZO Chennai.

Many forward-looking steps to promote welfare & progress of Seniors & pensioners, who have unique problems, were initiated ,FFPolicy Group Mediclaim was stabilised, after 3 years, CO agreed for 12 Monthly deductions from pension, as in the case of Employees,which hard transition was brought about smoothly all over SZ & Divisions 13.

3)I am RBKISHORE, ED (Retd)LIC I am VP, AIRIEF (All India Retd Insce Employees Fedn) of all classes of employees & President, RIEA(Retd Insce Employees Assn ),Chennai

   We developed good liaison with all Officers & staff ,ZO OS. Secretary, AS, 2 AOs are all thorough with the jobs they are dealing. Mediclaim SZ TPA Vidal Health Services is reasonably efficient, Laminated Card for Pensioner & Spouse , Family Floater Policy was issued in 2/3 months time but still 1 or 2 Zones not issued by respective TPAs.Surprising how some TPAs want aged pensioners to download from their website .It is ridiculous, pensioners may not have internet, PC etc, many may not know also the technical procedure.There is lot of grumbling, delay, as Hospitals & TPA are not conducive to Cashless Service & a good chunk is deducted from total expenses categorised euphemistically as Non Medical  apart from some other expenses ,which whittles down the concept of cashless service, where pensioner  needs immediate assistance from TPA stationed in Hospital .

    We gave detailed & comprehensive suggestions & so realistic & valuable  ,as last year 43 % increase in premium was there..This year, premium chart is released by CO, with small 1.14 % reduction in premium.We are eager to know if our worthy suggestions to remove lacuna, changes in conditions, request from pensioners to reduce OSA,Optional SA as premium was too high, 3 years are over, not agreeing still for 2nd option to those who went out as they failed to pay premium before 31March,now luckily regular deduction is taking place & such practical considerations must bring in empathy to pensioners . Policy conditions for 2017-18 are yet to come.

We shall plead with U to have face to face dialogue in our presence to iron out difficulties.Later ,after ur taking charge,we hand over our Suggestions to ED Per CO for their negotiations with New India sent much earlier. Many Special Reports, as costs have gone up.old existing rates they approve denying a big sum to Pensioners, who are the ultimate sufferers. 

4)Greetings , a very warm & hearty welcome
