Dear Comrades,

You will recall that we addressed a letter on 28.09.2026 to the General Secretaries of All India Retired Insurance Employees’ Federation and Federation of Retired LIC class I Officers’ Associations proposing a joint meeting to chalk out united organisational mobilisations to achieve long pending demands of LIC Pensioners. A joint meeting of the three organisations was held yesterday online and unanimously decided to move ahead unitedly. A copy of the minutes of the said meeting is reproduced below for information.

We request all the Units in life sector to liaise with the Units of other two organisations at their end and make all joint programmes envisaged a total success.

With greetings,

Comradely yours,

General Secretary.

AIRIEF/2026-27/Cir. No. 006

 

Date: 30th October 2026

All members of Pensioners' units affiliated to AIRIEF

Time and again, a need was felt to strengthen our Mumbai unit as the place is epicenter of all activities of our mighty Corporation including the welfare of the pensioners. We were exploring the possibility of an appointment of Sr. level Officers in the Central Office and coinciding this visit, we wanted to meet the Mumbai unit OBs. Since this meeting with Sr. Officials was not coming up for long, we decided to visit Mumbai and attend a meeting.

It was in this pursuit that Mr MP Agnihotri, Mr VS Sikarwar and I visited Mumbai on 26th and 27th October. On 26th October 2026, we had a meeting with the core group of Mumbai Unit members. This meeting with Mumbai team also aimed at giving the unit a hand-holding support and infuse in them the necessary thrust to meet the Sr. Officials on our advice to pursue our matters. We introduced them to some of the retired/serving senior officials in the Central Office who assured us of giving help whenever required. It was an assurance deserving our extolment as never in the past that we received such a whole-hearted assurance.

Look at the MRP of cancer medicines before and after revision !!

Look at the MRP of cancer medicines before and after revision !!

This loot by hospitals has been going on  since 2017

Why the Government didn't stop this loot ?
 It is only the direction of Supreme Court that put an end to the loot by  these  hospitals/companies of  families of cancer patients like this.
Imagine how much loot must be happening on other medicines/consumables.

Who really owns these Hospitals ? 

Our neighborhood corporate hospital isn't run by doctors. 
Majority stakes in networks like Manipal, CARE, and HCG are owned by global Private Equity (PE) giants like Temasek, Blackstone, and CVC Capital. 
The Private Equity Trap: These foreign funds demand ruthless quarterly revenue growth and maximum profit margins (EBITDA). To hit these targets, hospitals treat patients like captive consumers. 
The "Loss Leader" Trick: They keep doctor consultation fees and general room rents low so the public doesn’t panic. It's a calculated hook to get you through the door. 
The Hidden Cash Cow: Once We are trapped in the ICU, they strike. They slap 1,000% markups on consumables, stents, and oncology drugs. We cannot walk out to window shop, and We cannot say no.
 Healthcare in India has been commercialized  completely. Our life-or-death crisis is just their ultimate quarterly profit opportunity.

MEETING AT CENTRAL OFFICE

 MEETING AT CENTRAL OFFICE 

Dear Members, 

               We have been trying for a very long time to have a meeting with the CEO/ MD/ ED(P), to discuss with them on various pending issues of the Pensioners, but were  not getting any response from the C.O  authorities.Fortunately 

I got an invitation from the Pune Unit to attend their 1st AGM on 24.10.26. Accepting their invitation, I decided to return from there via Mumbai, with an intention, to visit the C. O and impose  upon  myeslf  on the C. O. Authorities, despite their avoidance. A   message was sent by our President to MD & ED(P) that the GS of Federation ( S. K. Awasthi) will be in Mumbai  on 26th & 27th Oct 26 to discuss the pensioners issues, better allot  a suitable time for the discussion.  The trick paid dividend. The ED(P) sent a message through an Officer of the Personnel Deptt. that the meeting is fixed at 11 AM on 26.10.26 with her. I drafted a CHARTER OF DEMANDS for the Pensioners, in consultation with our senior leaders like Sri O. P. Vashistha and Sri D. P. Singh ji, the Treasurer , which  our team consisting of Sri D. S. Mukadam EC member & Secretary of Mumbai Unit., Sri Chandra Shekhar ji EC member & Secretary of Lucknow Unit( accompanied me from Pune) and Me, submitted to ED( P) , as the CEO & MD Sri Doraiswamy and Sri R. Chander, MD were not available at the Central Office. We discussed thread bare on all the 22 Issues  of Charter of Demands with the ED(P) . She tried to understand our perspective on different issues and was quite responsive. Though she did not spell out anything  specifically on the issues, but gave  a hint that some sort of positive Churning is going on at the top level to resolve the issues of Pensioners, including the Updation of Pension. This is an appreciable positive change in the attitude of LIC Management towards the pensioners' problem. This time we have added two more Demands that of 

OLD AGE HOMES FOR PENSIONERS  and LTC facility to Pensioners. The ED(P) was  quite receptive to these demands. In addition to ED(P)  Madam Latha Madampath we discussed with ED(OS) Sri Kelkar ji on the issues of (1.) Pension Payment Order on retirement(2) I. D Cards to Family Pensioners. (3) Verification by the pensioner on the Existence Certificate of another pensioner

(4) Observance of Pensioners Day in a structured and uniform manner ,on pan India basis. 

  On the whole the meeting and  the discussions were quite Constructive, We hope some our demands may see the light of the day  in the near future. Unfortunately Our President Sri Ravishankar Prasad ji and Sri Humraskar ji could not be part of Our delegation, as they were out of Mumbai for their various compulsions. We spent almost the whole day at C.O, meeting various other EDs also.
