This MONDAY MINI MUSINGS = Is Bank Retirees PENSION FUND a AKSHAYA PATRA or KSHAYA PATRA ???

Recently a General Secretary of an AIBPARC affiliate stated in a Meeting :  Nobody can touch our Pension.  (Every month it will be in our plates).

But last week the CHVs divulge that PENSION FUND in negative balance shatters that ear throbbing tune.

Earlier, last year, PNB episode of withdrawing rs.2000 crores from Pension Fund to offset Profit and Loss account also given some ripples and some or few conscious retirees shaked.  Recently, the FM calmed those  shakes and ripples with statement that Pension Fund Provisions are subject Bank Auditors auditing (and not to worry).

According to mediocre bank retiree thinking, whatever mischiefs or gimmicks banks do, they have to pay Pension as per Pension Regulations that having statutory obligations.

However, with Govts.(whoever may be) thinking of globalisation and liberalisation policies, consequently merging, big bank theory, privatisation etc., what will be the future of Bank Retirees Pension Fund and its characteristic, further to recent court rulings in 100% DA Case, and Pension Updation Case is questionable.

TATAs are more ethical than Governments or Public Sector for welfare provisions of employees.
But recently, Tata Steel sold their U.K. Plant and in compliance with the purchaser's insistence dismantled the Pension Scheme by paying the pensioners now erstwhile pensioners according to an agreed formula and in process gained hefty profits  by reverting the amounts from Pension Fund.  But it fecilitated the pensioners to join NPS like scheme of British Pensioners and announced that the ploughed back amounts from Old Pension Scheme will be reserved for support to the pensioners in case of future exigencies.  Will our Govt or Banks/IBA do like that???

Tata Steel today reported consolidated net profit of Rs 14,688.02 crore for the fourth quarter ended March, driven by an "exceptional" gain of Rs 11,376 crore.
"The exceptional gain was Rs 11,376 crore, which includes a non-cash gain of Rs 14077 crore on account of restructuring of UK pension scheme in the March quarter," the company said in a release.


Tata Steel unions urge benefits to be restored after £1.6bn profit

Staff accepted reduction in benefits as they were told alternative was insolvency
Britain’s Pensions Regulator agreed last year to allow Tata Steel UK to reduce its £15bn pension scheme liabilities, the main stumbling block in the Indian steelmaker’s efforts to merge its European business

THE MAIN CRUX OF THE PROBLEM FOR bankRETIREES IS THE JOINT/RECORD NOTES OF 25th MAY 2015 IN WHICH IBA STRATEGIALLY GOT "PENSION IS A WELFARE MEASURE ONLY" INCORPORATED, SURELY WITH SOME FORETHOUGHT TO VITIATE THE PENSION SCHEME BY NOT OBLIGING THE DUE PENSION TO RETIREES UNDER PENSION REGULATIONS.

I ASKED AN AIBOC AFFILIATE GENERAL SECRETARY IN A GB (who also signatory to the Joint Note) HOW YOU SIGNED THE JOINED NOTE WITH SUCH STIPULATION. HE REPLIED THAT THE JOINT NOTE/RECORD NOTE CAME TO THEM AFTER SIGNING BY 4 OTHER UNIONS/ASSNS. SO HE SIGNED.

THAT PAVED THE WAY FOR THE PRESENT OPEN TACTICS OF CHV AND IBA
