Dear Sir,   i)This has reference to your telephonic talk to me yesterday. 

I just came back from hospital where I had to stay for three days.On reaching home, 

Published your letter in the blog a couple of hours back.smartphone does not allow direct updation to the blog except in the case of google phones.

incidentally, the hospital where I had admitted my wife on an emergency basis on saturday, was reluctant to accept the cashless tpa card 

as they say the vidal healthcare TPA takes more than 10 days to credit the amount, and though the prior authorisation is given in a day, settlement takes a longer time. They also hinted that the tariff would be different if it is mediclaim  insurance based TPA

I had to pay the bill while getting discharged.

I would like to know whether a hospital can refuse to accept (despite the production of card and id) on these grounds, if the stay is not going to be more than a week or so. Also please let me know whether i can query through an RTI the duration of settlement of mediclaims by TPA, delay attributable to them only. 

I am sending a copy of this letter to our GS and also Sri Kishore for their information.

yours, ------------------sury.

ii)Dear sri Sury, 

i) I was able to contact Mr Sivaganesh Mgr TPA Vidal Health Services after battling thro usual telephone jinx ,which never allows immediate talk

How nice it would have been had u given Hospital name Also in such cases ,for urgent teletalk Ur phone No had u mentioned , it wld have been direct talk with U .I have ur phone but some time it takes to refer  OK

ii) He told me Always an immediate call to TPA, to him or Madam Srimathi ,would have eased the situation .

Plus he added Hospital has no business to say they will charge more , if it is via TPA

He confirmed there is nothing like less than or more than a week, as Only after immediate admission& urgent tests , they will decide also watching progress

iii) There is no need to refer thro RTI ,a waste of time

This is pure administrative procedure

iv) Please inform Which Hospital, nature of illness when u took ur wife for emergency admission

He wanted to know if u had contacted TPA when u were facing such a situation

5)Dear Kishore,

  I think just to score debating points Mr Kulkarni has written this article.   Jinnah had won the heart of almost every Muslim in the country.Mahatma Gandhi who too was convinced of Jinnah's all pervasive influence and the prompting came from one of the most brilliant persons of our times Rajaji. Gandhiji met Jinnah in his house to thrash out the issue in1944.

When confronted with the idea of Pakistan would also lead to partition of the Punjab and Bengal and no Assam .Jinnah backed out.The talks failed and in !947 Jinnah accepted what in 1944 he  had characterised as a 'moth eaten and truncated' Pakistan ! Even Dr B R Ambedkar in his Book PAKISTAN or The Partition of India published in 1940 advised that it was in the interest of India to accept Jinnah's idea of Pakistan.If Congress had accepted Ambedkar's advise and Jinnah had accepted

Mahatma Gandhi's  proposal in 1944 much of the loss of lives could have been avoided.

     This is what happens when you do  not listen to wise people.---- Chidambar ,MD(Retd)

How to Save Income Tax

At the end of the financial year, we have to submit documents regarding the income tax to be paid for that year. The tax that is charged by an individual is defined in four segments of the tax slab. If the income exceeds that the tax is levied automatically. In order to prevent paying a huge amount of taxes, the government gives a leverage of investments via which an individual can save tax as well as save for his/her future.

Tax Saving Tips

In order to save tax one can investment in various forms like mutual fund or insurance, PF, PPF, etc. Here are some of the common forms of investment.

Funds: Mutual funds or Equity Linked Schemes helps you save money and gain benefits of saving taxes on income under 80C section of the Income Tax Act. These schemes come with the shortest lock-in tenure as compared to provident fund and fixed deposits. Also, they give you good returns on your amount invested.

ULIPs: Better known as Unit Link Insurance Plans, this scheme is available in market that provides dual benefits of insurance as well financial market trading. So the investments done under this scheme not only help you save tax but also give you a chance of high returns.

Health: With the increase in the expense of medical treatments, having a health insurance has become important. This health insurance gives dual benefits of medical expense and tax. As per the Income tax rule, you can cut your taxes by Rs. 15,000 -20,000 if you go for health insurance.

7)Respected Colleagues, True. We have, now-a-days, become restless. We hoped of getting

solutions to our  problems through the usual organizational avenues.

We approached our Management. After hectic attempts by some of our

stalwarts, we could convince the Members of LIC Board, which, taking

cognizance with our just demands, passed a historic resolution

unanimously in favor of 100% neutralization of DR. The Management

forwarded the same to UOI with its recommendation, followed with a

reminder sometime later. Nothing happened.

  Then, legal proceedings were initiated against this discrimination

and we could achieve favorable judgement in HCs of Jaipur Branch of

Rajasthan, Chandigarh and Delhi. From then onward, we struggling hard

to convince the Supreme Court on legal grounds. As Sri. P.Ramanathan

observed sometime back that there are courts for law and not for

justice. As you are aware, AIRIEF has now engaged an eminent Sr.

Counsel who commands professional respect in SC. Next hearing is

likely to commence from 5th March. As usual, the bureaucracy may be

rigid and antagonized against our TWIN MAJOR JUST DEMANDS and would

even turn mountains to defeat us judiciously. Knowing the sinister

move of our opponents, AIRIEF is also more cautious in handling the

legality of our issues and our Legal Committee has spent days and

nights to face this last leg of our life and death battle with still

more forceful legal points and effective court cases under the able

guidance of our Sr.Counsel.

  As some of us are now suggesting, we took earnest steps, during the

last General Elections to the Parliament, to meet prominent

contestants from BJP and post them of our prime demands. They

unhesitatingly promised that they would erase the menace of injustice

immediately on forming the government. We never let up our efforts in

meeting the ministers, who promised us earlier, to remind them of our

issues and pave the way for put an end to the prolonged agony. They

still live on their promising stages and not on acting upon their

promises. Are we to launch the same old programme, again ? Will it

touch even the surface of their thick skin ?

  A recent circular issued by LIC Class-1 Association has announced

agitation against the promise of the management earlier and the

proposed move against their own promise later. Such a fine culture has

taken refuge in the wings of the highest hierarchy.

  There is a doubt in the minds of our cadre whether LIC / GOI would

implement the judgement of the judiciary. It is expressed that the

judgement could only be a recommending one as we don't have sufficient

legal support and again we have to approach the government for

implementation of the court judgement. I would like to bring the

following information to disprove the above conclusion. On the basis

of the judgement of the Supreme Court, IBA has advised Banks to

implement the judgement, which has come in favor of pensioners. I

request our members to read the  message (4th instant ) of Sri.

R.B.Kishore, Vice President of AIRIEF. This message has appeared in

our AIRIEF website as well as in R.K.Sahni's Pensioners' Voice Blog. I

don't under-estimate the suggestions of some of our senior active

members. My request is that we should not precipitate matters. It

should not turn to be a wrong signal to the opposite side that we have

lost hopes in judicial approach and that we are now inclined to direct

contact with FM / PM.

The bureaucracy may not even hesitate to mention before the court that

only a section of leaders are interested in court settlement against

the wish of the majority of members who are interested to settle the

issues through direct contact with the government. I request our

earnest members to think twice before issuing any call against the

present move of AIRIEF. I have penned this message not with any

intention of hurting any one.

                    " Let us prove that we are united behind AIRIEF.

-- United, we Win  --  Divided, we fall "

With regards,-------------M.P.Subrahmanian.

8) Thanks for your good words. I take the movement of pension updation as a mission. I have been receiving a lot of communications from you in the matter of updation for which you have been taking tremendous trouble. As such you could only assess the amount of labour put by the functionaries. I send my best wishes for your case in SC.---Laxman Parab,GS,AIRBREA

9)Dear Sri Laxman Parab,  A 100 thanx for this flash reply with then eminent Sr Advocates opinion for pension upgradation

It is not easy to trace & retrieve from archives, which u have taken pains,with other many pressing work Activists have to perform with commitment

u have proved that u desire to help & assist others ,when in need

No words to describe this act of urs

Greetings & warm regards---------RBKISHORE ,VP,AIRIEF 

10) Dear All,    Please go through in full & in particular last 4 paras

Lot more consolidation on other points as well needed , though we can repudiate Pay as you go Concept as belittling the UOI resources as against merited Pension Fund replenishment as per requirement arrived at & which as we all have pointed out goes on reducing the amount additionally pumped in , due to retirements, terrific spurt in Family Pensioners numbers having  risen from 17 per cent to 36per cent & in some Zones much more. Wage revision or PLLI or MidDay Meals Coupons to all Staff SSto ED,costing Rs550cr pa, Or
new type of Allowances, & other benefits have not dented or reduced in any manner the growth of LIC or new business & on the other operating ratios are strong indices of LIC excellence , even certified by IRDA .
We also submitted that when NPS has picked up momentum & soon the Pensioners under total PU concept will dwindle & come to Nil too. There is nothing like infinite or indefinite or timeless Pension Upgradation , must be dinned into the ears of eminent SC Bench.There should not be any cause of alarm or exaggeration which LIC tries to indulge in Its last ferocious & adamant attitude instead of looking at circumstances, glaring Anamolies & absurdities , 7 grades below getting more pension than their Seniors,a Holistic approach only SC Bench must apply to totality of circumstances & environment , where everywhere, PU is raining to CG, SG,Railways ,Defence,OROP for Armed Forces, PSUs of CG, even lossmaking ones, University & College Professors & Teachers,Judges of SC, HC, additional agerelated , value added percentage of pension at 80,85,90,95&100, to CG,SG etc ,what more. The less we talk about MLAs, MPs , the better;no rule,rhyme or rhythm.

 Ignoring the devoted , dedicated Elders & Sr Citizens giving out their best & Basic Pension remaining static & same in IV Pay Commission mode ,stagnant for 25 years& more is a tragedy of gigantic proportions, virtually crushing them in this long, meandering , tedious & tortuous legal battle. It will be a travesty of justice if SC Bench does not rectify & remedy the anamolous & abhorrent situation , when about 16,500 Pensioners died & are dying . Eyes & ears of the Scales of Justice symbolized in the logo of balance, of Court must ensure fair, adequate justice to these Pensioners in this last final phase of hearing.

  Article 21. Right to decent living cannot be wished away,Article 14  & 16 violently violated with impunity & DHC cannot , by any standards ,treat LIC Pensioners as well paid, & in that process , going to the extent of even departing, deviating & aborting the well laid out & enshrined concept of treating ALL Pensioners as belonging to One Group & committing grave misinterpretation by further creating a Class within a Class, Subclassifications & Miniclassification, so detrimental to Sacred concepts of Equity , Equality , thereby straightaway throwing overboard the Fundamental Rights enshrined in our Constitution, Articles 14 & 16  . Full 100 percent DR ,same as that of post 8/1997 Pensioners & Employees must come into being to avoid the blatant Discrimination present now with a heavy loss of DR for pre 8/1997 Pensioners all along.
   It is a sad irony of fate that precisely those institutions , Financial & Service   who feed the Govt, who ensure adequate funds for economic growth & prosperity of these institutions & which indeed brings about silent revolution of our country , are sidelined & made to crawl & cringe for so long ,drawing 18 years of toil,sacrifice, labour, energy , money spent,no one to wipe the tears of the widow ,& prolonging hearing with several adjournments , frustration adversely affecting the aged & so SC Bench to realize the true

11) Dear Shri Kishore, Thanks for the additional inputs and let us hope the SC judges deliver the long

delayed justice in your case.   With regards---------- Kasiviswanathan,NABARD

15)The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Union government to take a “categorical stand” on establishing an independent body to review the salaries and allowances of Members of Parliament and, possibly, scrap their post-retirement benefits and perks.

A Bench, led by Justice Jasti Chelameswar, said the time had come for the government to make clear its position on the issue which has been publicly debated since 2006.

The petition, filed by NGO Lok Prahari, said the pension and perks given to MPs after they demitted office were contrary to Article 14 ( right to equality ) of the Constitution. It said Parliament had no power to provide benefits to lawmakers without making any law. It argued that there were no guidelines for granting allowances. The NGO highlighted how a person in his mid-twenties, a one-time MP, was eligible for pension for the rest of his life, and such an expenditure was a drain on the exchequer.

” Have you taken a categorical position ? We know the Government of India’s policy is very dynamic. The issue has agitated the minds of people since 2006. What is the government’s view ? Your counter affidavit does not disclose a categorical stand,” the court questioned counsel for the Centre and senior advocate Ajit Kumar Sinha. Mr. Sinha sought a week to file a detailed response. In a preliminary submission, he said the establishment of an independent commission to review the salaries and allowances of MPs was still under consideration.

” Irrespective of the government in power, this is a matter of concern. How long should it remain pending ?” the Bench observed.

16) LATEST POSITION ABOUT W.P.No.1875/2013

The case came up for hearing on 5-01-2018 but the Bank and the GOI asked for  adjournment and the Judge granted further time as per request. The next date for hearing has been fixed on 15th March 2018

The Order passed by the court is given here - 

*****************************

GOI has approved the 'Committee' recommendations regarding 5th, 6th, & 7th Bipartite retirees and have sent it to our Bank for further necesary action.

In this connection our Chairman has instructed to all LHOs to make ad-hoc payment up to 90% of dues. Since the total number of beneficiaries would be around 40,000, it will take few days to complete the payment of dues of arrears to the eligible pensioners. The work will be done in lots of about 6000 pensioners and the payment of arrears to number of pensioners has already been made and the rest of the eligible pensioners will get arrears within the next few days.

We give here the eligibility criteria issued by the Bank in respect of 5th, 6th & 7th Birpartite retirees

2013ஆம் ஆண்டு எனது தியாகப்பிரம்மத்தின் பஞ்சரத்தின கீர்த்தனைகள்தமிழாக்கத்தைக் கேட்டுவிட்டு ,’நன்னாத்தான் இருக்கு. இருந்தாலும் அந்தஅந்த கீர்த்தனைகள் அந்த       அந்த பாஷையில் இருப்பது சிலாக்யம் “ என்றுஅறிவுரை கொடுத்த என் குரு நாதர்      ஜயேந்திரரை மடத்தில் தரிசிக்கமுடியாதே? என் அன்பு நண்பர் கவிஞர்  காஞ்சி முத்து. ராமமூர்திக்கு கைஉடைந்ததைப்போல வேதனை தந்துவிட்டாயே காலா? ஒரு வாரத்திற்குமுன்னால்தானே உன்னை ஆங்கிலத்தில் கேட்டேன்” டெத்- வென் வில் யூடை?’’என்று. இன்று காலை இந்த அதிர்ச்சிச் செய்தியா?

காலா செய், உன்னால் இயன்றதை எல்லாம் செய். 

”காலா இங்கே வாடா உன்னைக் காலால் மிதிக்கிறேன்” என்ற எனதுபாரதியையும் அழைத்துக் கொண்டாய்.  என் தகப்பனார், தாய், மனைவிஅனைவரையும் அழைத்துச் சென்றாய்; அவர்களைப்      பத்திரமாய் காத்துவை; எனக்கு அவர்களைக் காட்ட வேண்டும் அல்லவா?
