Pension Upgradation

Pension Upgradation,  Misconceptions,ANAEMIC VIEW,Prospective PU a Farce,Heavy loss of genuine Pension arrears, PRINCIPLED STAND need of the hour to embrace & benefit ALL GROUPS

  SANITY & STREGTH OF OUR SR ADVOCATE EMBELLISHED SUBMISSSIONS STEADILY BEING  UPDATED, 

** Those who still believe in DR ONLY,how sad,may be they believe in "Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thoughts" .We told umpteen times that

* FP of CG employees is much higher than LIC RP.Is this also not appealing to the heart or mind?

**We then said emphatically a peon is getting more than pre-8/1997 ED !! Does this also fall on deaf ears?

**** pension payments for pensioners  constitute  a small % of Employees Remuneration & Welfare expenses &

*a still lesser % of Total Operating Expenses.

* LIC has not raised the issue of outlay at all, but pessimists & cassandras not having gone in-depth & from all angles, or out to sabotage likely positive outcome are putting brakes on progress to final victory

**A Leader or a Strategist converts difficulties into opportunities, why should any  try to convert opportunities into difficulties.

* If we allow it to slip through, posterity will not pardon us. How can we take shelter in the 'practical ' & 'less ambitious ' formula?

Is it safe & sane to try to help 14,500 pre-8/1997 pensioners,Groups ! & 2,(now far less as many died & are dying,)do by all means,  & deny the right & privilege to the larger number of Groups  app till 31/7/2022, Group 3 to Group 7, who are also steadily experiencing anamolies & paradoxes in Pension which will escalate higher with More Wage Revisions.

It is also to be remembered & reminded that United Forum of Insurance Employees & Pensioners earlier, comprising 13 unions led by Fedn of LIC Class I Officers Assns met then FM  Sri Pranab Mukerjee in the company of Sri Oscar Fernandes. AIRIEF is associated with it, Sri VCJain,then GS AIRIEF(late) is a signatory too.

**Two chances to appeal should normally be enough to decide a case.The 3rd or 4th appeals to the HCs or SC  by a person who has not even won once before should be rejected at the threshold,legal experts say.

Let us all pray together appreciating the reach & repercussions of the verdicts rendered,only to set right the inequity & injustice & endeavour as one large banyan tree of pensioners.We are moving heaven & earth  to rediscover pensioners as a significant section of society & above all to give Voice to voiceless & a Face to faceless & even Power to the powerless

.Let us not create any melodrama, but try to calibrate our utterances properly. Ultimately,we all must remember Trivialities should not destroy Criticalities of legal procedures & wonderful & assertive submissions

 Unfortunately,We do not see things as they are, we see them as we are.

Waiting to win is common to all.

Working to win is the style of Champion.
