Dear Comrades,

Sub: M C SINGLA CASE FOR UPDATION OF PENSION - PENDING IN HON'BLE SUPREME COURT AND LISTED FOR HEARING ON 22.07.2026

We wish to advise our affiliates and members that the above case has been part-heard by the Hon'ble Bench of Supreme Court and has been listed for final hearing on 22nd July, 2026.

In the meantime, there has been some development as the Hon'ble Supreme Court is scheduled to conduct National Lok Adalat in the month of August 2026. M C Singla case had been identified to be placed before the said National Lok Adalat by the Hon'ble Court. Accordingly, the Notices were sent to the Original Petitioners. Out of Seven Petitioners who filed the case before the Hon’ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh, Shri M C SinglaJi and other two have left for their heavenly abode.

However, regarding the other Petitioners, we requested Com Nand Kishore JamdagniJi, General Secretary, All India Punjab National Bank Retired Officers Association to coordinate with the remaining Petitioners, Shri O P KhuranaJi, Shri K S RathiJi, Shri B D SharmaJi and Shri M S SidhuJi and guide them to get their “NO CONSENT” for participation in the proposed National Lok Adalat recorded in the Books of the Designated Coordinating Agency viz., District Legal Services Authority, District Court, Sector 43, Chandigarh, as our case is already part-heard and scheduled for final hearing on 22nd July 2026.

We are pleased to advise that Shri JamadagniJi and his team of Office Bearers at Chandigarh contacted them and got the 'No Consent' of the Petitioners recorded in the books of the designated authority at its Chandigarh Office today i.e. 12.06.2026. There will thus be no participation from the above Petitioners in the National Lok Adalat in the month of August 2026.

We are eagerly waiting with a hope that our case - M C Singla vs Union of India will come up for hearing on 22.07.2026 as scheduled.

We shall keep you posted of the developments from time to time.

With best wishes and regards,

Comradely yours,

K.V. Acharya. President, AIBPARC & Jt. Convenor, CBPRO

D S NAKARA डी.एस. नकारा। उनकी पुण्यतिथि पर, हम उन्हें श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित करते हैं 🌷

  

   

  

"आज, पेंशनभोगी एक शांतिपूर्ण जीवन जी रहे हैं, और हमें समय पर पेंशन मिल रही है। इसके पीछे एक महान व्यक्ति का हाथ है जिन्होंने इसे संभव बनाया – डी.एस. नकारा। उनकी पुण्यतिथि पर, हम उन्हें श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित करते हैं 🌷

नकारा का जन्म 8 अप्रैल, 1914 को मुंबई में हुआ था। उन्होंने 1937 में सिविल सेवा परीक्षा उत्तीर्ण की और केंद्र सरकार की रक्षा लेखा सेवा (Defence Accounts Service) में शामिल हो गए 🌷

1977 से पहले, सेवानिवृत्त लोग बहुत कम पेंशन के साथ एक दयनीय जीवन जी रहे थे। 1979 में, केंद्र सरकार ने एक उदार पेंशन योजना की घोषणा की, लेकिन यह केवल उन लोगों पर लागू थी जो उस समय भी सेवा में थे। यह उन लोगों के लिए एक अभिशाप जैसा था जो पहले ही सेवानिवृत्त हो चुके थे 🌷

नकारा ने इस स्थिति को देखा और सर्वोच्च न्यायालय में एक जनहित याचिका दायर की। सर्वोच्च न्यायालय की पीठ ने 17 दिसंबर, 1982 को एक ऐतिहासिक फैसला सुनाया 🌷

इस फैसले में कहा गया कि पेंशन एक अधिकार है, और पेंशनभोगियों को भी सरकारी कर्मचारियों की तरह ही समान रूप से DA/DR (महंगाई भत्ता/राहत), स्वास्थ्य लाभ और मृत्यु-मुआवजा दिया जाना चाहिए 🌷

फैसले में यह भी कहा गया कि पेंशन सरकार के विवेक पर निर्भर नहीं है, बल्कि यह पिछली सेवाओं के लिए एक प्रतिफल है। पेंशन बुढ़ापे में गरीबी से बचाने का एक साधन है 🌷

नकारा के प्रयासों के कारण ही यह महान फैसला संभव हो पाया। वे पेंशनभोगियों के लिए किसी देवता के समान हैं और उन्हें हमेशा याद किया जाएगा 🌷

इस ऐतिहासिक फैसले की याद में, हम पूरे देश में 17 दिसंबर को 'पेंशनभोगी दिवस' (Pensioners' Day) के रूप में मनाते हैं। हम नकारा के योगदानों को याद करते हैं 🌷

नकारा 95 वर्ष तक जीवित रहे और 29 जुलाई, 2009 को उनका निधन हो गया। एक पेंशनभोगी के तौर पर, मैं उन्हें अपनी गहरी श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित करता हूँ 🌹

मुझे उम्मीद है कि मेरे सभी मित्र इस संदेश को अपने-अपने ग्रुप्स में साझा करेंगे 🙏"

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
