Re. Outcome of the Federation's Executive Committee Meeting held at Panchkula, in May 26

Dear Sir,

The representatives of the Retired LIC Class I Officers from different Divisional Associations, who assembled from all over the country, discussed in depth about the staggering sufferings of LIC Pensioners due to non-resolution of the various issues pending with the LIC / DFS since long. Notable amongst them are:-

• 1)
  Upward Revision of Pension, periodically to neutralize the effect of the Inflation causing severe distress to pensioners with fixed pension..

  • 2)
    Monthly Ex-gratia payment, till periodical updation of pension is resolved.
• 3)
  Cash Medical Allowance, to meet the regular expenses of Domiciliary Treatment.

4) Yearly Preventive Health Check up facility

and many more connected issues.

I think, I must share with you the feelings and sentiments of the Executive Committee members who held pivotal positions while in service. It is worth mentioning that almost all the Representatives, out of anguish and frustration expressed their unhappiness over the cold apathetic approach and the shabby manner with which the pensioners are being treated by the LIC Management, to which they had given their golden hours of Life & Blood in the past, to make the Organisation what it is today. They unanimously felt that LIC has not done enough to ameliorate the sufferings of its Pensioners, as compared to IBA doing for the Bank Pensioners.

The issue of Periodical Upward Revision of Pension is a matter of "Life and Death" for the pensioners with paltry fixed pension, which has to be understood in proper perspective by LIC first and next the Govt. *The Basic Pension being static, has led to a situation that today a Record Clerk retiring now, gets more Pension than an Executive Director retired 20-25 years back , unable to meet both the ends. It may be said that we have gone to the Court and the matter is Sub-Judice. Our going to the Court was not our Choice, but out of compulsion. After the Govt. (DFS), stalled the approval of the LIC Board Resolution dated 24.11.2001 to update the Pension of Pre- 1.8.97 retirees, we were left with no alternative but to seek the legal remedy available to us. It has taxed the Pensioners very heavily , both financially as well as humanly. Crores of Rupees have been spent by the Pensioners and more than 25000 Pensioners left for heavenly abode till now, with distressed living , without seeing the Justice. We do not know how long we will have to wait to see the Justice .

Let us make it clear that we are not interested in Litigation , rather are interested in solution of the burning problem. Let the LIC and the Govt. (DFS) combined find out some amicable solution to the burning problem of periodical upward revision of Pension, "out of the Court". We are prepared to cooperate in the process by discussing across the table. Now the ball is lying in your Court. We request you to kindly approach the Govt. and convince them for a negotiated amicable resolution of the burning problem of the pensioners, out of the Court. Being the Family Head, we expect you to help & save the pensioners from sufferings by getting the problem resolved.

We hope your good self will graciously make necessary and sincere efforts for the resolution of the Issue of Upward Revision of Pension. Please note if it takes longer time, kindly impress upon the Govt./DFS to grant respectable Monthly Ex-gratia Amount to pensioners, as Bank Pensioners are getting since 1.11.2022 , till our Upward revision of Pension happens.

With the great hope and expectation and profound regards.

Yours faithfully

S. K. Awasthi

To, All members affiliated to AIRIEF through Units..........

The Supreme Court has gone for vacation to open after the official retirement of Jus.JK Maheshwari on 28th June 2026. As a last minute initiative, we 2 ex-officio members and the LSG members assembled at Delhi on 28th April as a meeting with Sr Counsel NG was lined up by Adv. RKS.

On 29th as was fixed, we met Mr NG and enquired of our case status. What he indicated during the course of talks that our case file in very ripe stage of part heard is not released by the CJI Registry to the bench who heard the case else the judgement in all likelihood would have given the much awaited relief to 10s and 1000s of pensioners. On our enquiry what can be done, he said Mention can be made. Now since the bench will be reconstituted and the 2 new incumbent Judges would hear our case 'de novo' which would mean hearing of case afresh. Before parting from him, we have made our stand clear that we may not be in a position to continue with the same amount of fee as members are largely frustrated and have withdrawn from the donation to fight with the saying 'so near yet so far' standing true to us to which he smilingly said he would see.

Having said so, he assured us of continuing to take care of our interest and would avail of all available avenues to bring our case back on rail. As soon as the SC opens after the vacation, we shall advise for a Mention to be made. No call immediately is being given for donation to legal funds but members to be ready to come forward to donate should the need arise.

On 23rd May 2026, a meeting of all petitioners was convened at Hyderabad by Shri PVS Nagaraja Rao of the Fed of Ret.Cl-1 Officers' Assn., Hyderabad unit. The meeting was attended by OBs of the Petitioner Association or their representative. Shri MP Agnihotri represented AIRIEF. Initially, AIIPA informed us that their representative would be attending this meeting but none attended. The meeting primarily was a "looking back exercise" of our case in the SC and discussed the erring of Sr Counsels while making their submission on 8th-9th October 2025. Two Sr Counsels assertively completed their submissions while Sr Counsel for the third petitioner could partly complete his submission. However, some of the points put forth prima facie appeared plausible on the surface but were incomplete, contradictory and  inaccurate which were brought to notice by some of the learned members also. The discussion built consensus that the Sr Counsel will be briefed well in future.

The meeting also deliberated over the Samadhan Samaroh -2026 being arranged by the SC for an out of Court settlement. Initially, all looked positive on  this and resolved  to take this forward through Lok Adalat. However, the AIIPA in 2024 approached Lok Adalat but had a dissenting opinion as LIC opposed on the ground that there are multiple petitioners and so it cannot be decided and so AIIPA resolved not to join. Subsequently, FRCL-IOA, a petitioner in our legal case informed the undersigned their resolve against joining. Since our case has multiple petitioners, it was mandatory for all to join. For the same reason, AIRIEF also decided to shelve the idea of joining the Lok Adalat.

The 13th Biennial General Council meeting is scheduled to be held at Mysuru on 10th-11th September (Check in at 1 PM on 9th Sept.2026, Checkout by 11 AM on 12th Sept 2026) who have besieged themselves with activities that would culminate in successful holding of the meeting. Our President Shri GK Garu along with 2 others have undertaken tour to Mysuru to take stock of the preparedness as also share his thoughts on overall going. Notice of this meeting will be released on 8th June 2026. Pl note that the Rly reservation opens 60 days before the scheduled date of journey.

It is equally pertinent to inform you that all communications related to the 13th GC meet will be posted in PST or AIRIEF OBs group. In case there is change in the names of PSTs, 8f any after the AGM of units, please inform Shri VK Johri, Dy Gen. Secretary, AIRIEF (Mob.94549-70724) for updating his records.

Just to remind the units who haven't yet paid the Affiliation Fee, please clear off the dues. As of now, little over 32 units have paid the due AF.

At the cost of repetition, the round of Zonal Council meetings are to be completed by 15th July and names to be conveyed to the undersigned. Needless to add, an amount of Rs.10000/- per participating unit is reimbursable on account of expenses for this purpose on submission of bills/vouchers
