Ex-gratia to Pre 1986 Retirees and Surviving Spouses by BANKS

Ex-gratia to Pre 1986 Retirees and Surviving Spouses by BANKS

Click below:-

https://drive.google.com/file/d/11WFqnZJTXW0aqs-hsgt0Y7GZkHQ2hZrH/view?usp=drivesdk

Ex-gratia to Pre 1986 Retirees and Surviving Spouses in LIC

In LIC a Retiree gets an Ex-gratia of Rs.5,811-50 &
A spouse of deceased Retiree gets Rs.2,905-75

But the difference between Bank & LIC Ex-gratia recipients is that in Banks receive Rs.10,000/- pm although the Ex-gratia amount works out to Rs.5,811-50 & Rs.2,905-75 respectively. *So, it will take many years to cross Rs.10,000/-. Till then they will be benefitted.*

Banks have gone ahead of us in many aspects :
1) Pre-2002 Pensioners are getting 100% DR neutralization. 
In LIC pre-1997 Pensioners are still getting tapered DR.
2) Resignees in Banks are given

Pension Option.
In LIC Resignees are deprived of this.
3) Pensioners are getting monthly ex-gratia.
LIC Pensioners are deprived of this.

Circular no 113 -26

Date: September 09, 2026.

For circulation among members of the Governing Council, State Secretaries, Special Invitees, Advisors, Affiliates, Constituents of CBPRO and Members.

Dear Comrade,

Sub: Updates on M.C. Singla case for Pension Updation pending before the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

We reproduce hereunder the message received by Shri K V Acharya, President, AIBPARC and Joint convenor, CBPRO from our Advocate Shri Sewaram for information of our members:


QUOTE

As you are aware that on 22.07.2026 the Court no. 2 of Hon’ble two judges Division Bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Mehta in Supreme Court had part heard for about 2 hours the MC Singla Vs UOI and other connected petitions for bank pensioners pension updation. The case was originally listed for 09.09.2026 but in the list for 9.9.2026 published on 5.9.2026 it was not listed due to non-availability of particular Division Bench. However, in the Supplementary List published on 8.9.2026, the matter was included for listing on 9.9.2026 before the same division bench. It was mentioned in the list that our case will be taken on top of regular matters list. Accordingly, we had informed and had conference with our Senior Advocate at 9am on 9.9.2026 and were present in Court. At 10.30am Mr. Dhruv Mehta Sr. Adv. for IBA requested the Hon’ble Court to take up the matter a little later during the day as he needed to go through his case file. The Court agreed and, in the meantime, took up the next regular matter. In the next regular matter, the Ld. Attorney General of India had appeared and the said matter took whole day and was adjourned to 23.9.2026. Our both Senior Advocates Dr. Sh. MK Singhvi and Shri Kavin Gulati and the legal team waited whole day for our matter be called out but our case could not come up for hearing. At the end at 3.25pm, I mentioned the matter before the Hon'ble Court with prayer that the matter be kept on board for next week and the Court agreed. Sir, the 11.09.2026 been declared a holiday due to Brics Summit, the10th Sept. has been declared as MIsc. maters day and as such no regular matter will be listed on 10.09.2026. Now, the matter will be listed in next week on Wednesday 16.09.2026.

Regards, Sewa Ram, Advocate Unquote.

Future development will be made known to you by circulars.

With best wishes and regards, Comradely yours,

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

LETTER TO FINANCE MINISTER

 

Regn No.PN 4769 (Regd under The Trade Unions Act, 1926)

(Affiliated to Bharateeya Mazdoor Sangh)

BMS Office, Vishwakarma Bhavan, 185, Shaniwar Peth, Pune 411030

13-08-2026

Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman ji, Honorable Minister for Finance & Corporate Affairs, Govt of India, Kartavya Bhawan, New Delhi.

Sub: Updation (revision) of pension of LIC pensioners and allied matters.

With respect to above we seek your kind audience to apprise you about the following long pending issues of LIC pensioners:

  • The delegation of insurance sector unions of BMS met you under the leadership of Shri. Surendran ji and Shri. Girish Chandra Arya ji on 10-10-2024. NOIP was represented by Shri. Ashok Joshi, our Ex General Secretary, who had a detailed discussion with your good self, regarding pension updation and other allied matters. We felt assured then, by your empathetic response.
  • As a follow up action, ten days thereafter, Shri. Girish Chandra Arya ji, Secretary & Financial Sector In charge, BMS, met the then Finance Secretary Shri. M. Nagaraju and the latter confirmed that the dept is in action mode regarding the issues discussed with your good self.
  • We may reiterate that for the last 38 years the pension of LIC pensioners has not been revised and as a consequence, an Executive Director retired prior to 8/1997 draws lesser pension than the Class IV employee retiring after 2022 wage revision.
  • About 20,000 LIC pensioners have since died till date without seeing the updated pension during their retired life time.
  • RBI/NABARD/SIDBI pensioners have already got their pension updated till the latest wage revision of in-service employees.
  • Thanks to your government for adding the pension updation in the CCS Pension (Rules), 2021, thus bringing this aspect under the Statutes.
  • Section 56 of LIC Employees’ Pension (Rules), 1995 expressly refers to CCS Pension (rules) 2021 for reference in respect of those matters not finding place in the LIC Employees’ Pension (Rules), 1995.
  • Pension updation and allied matters such as- one more pension option to left over employees Viz directly recruited engineers, ex-servicemen and resigned employees, additional pension to 80+ seniors, computing pension at 50% of last pay drawn, 50% of last pay as family pension up to 67 years of age in respect of deceased pensioners/employees, full pension for service of 20 years and above etc. are pending approval by DFS.
  • Modi govt has accepted in principle the National Litigation Policy and Modi ji himself has averred that the govt should not become a compulsive litigant. We, NOIP (BMS) are not a party in court litigation
  • On 21-04-2026, in Kolkata, our President Shri. Prabir Kumar Mazumder attended the meeting convened by you and submitted a detailed memorandum to the top official of your ministry, who vouched that these pending issues would be personally looked into by your erudite self.

Hence, we once again request you to accord your kind approval to the pension updation up to 2022 wage revision, without any further delay, for which act of kindness, pensioners would remain ever grateful to you.

With thanks and regards,

Yours Sincerely, 

Raj Kumar
