Qist of talk with ED(Per) yesterday at 7 PM


DEAR ALL, 

As LIC has still not issued  customary important Circular on DA & DR to Employees & pensioners,whereas Banks have already promptly issued few days before,announcing 61 DR Slabs to Pensioners & clearly stating,there is No Increase or Decrease of DA to Employees .
I pointed out this to Sri Rajesh K Dubey ED Per.
He conveyed  all particulars are ready & Circular will be issued.I requested if tomorrow Friday it can be done, well & good.

A)
i) I pleaded strongly, that when now,discussions with NEW INDIA for finalising GROUP MEDI CLAIM POLICY  will be taking place, it is desirable that ALL Suggestions raised by Pensioners Fedns & others be processed properly with due diligence & will to offer such IMPROVEMENTS, those ideas must be placed emphatically with a view to get approval& not postponed again & again
In particular I emphasised dire need to give full freedom to Family Pensioners to choose whatever lesser OSA they need,as the PROPORTIONATE FORMULA brings them lower SA but yet pretty high premium to be paid out of small pension after the death of RP,such simplistic grievances should not remain pending so long.
ii) i added,it is high time, CO wreaks the concession of approval by New India,for any ADDITIONAL SPECIAL  Appliances or Advanced operations for settling the Diagnosis with Certificates issued by Medical Experts ,cost etc.those must be allowed as a matter of course WITHOUT REJECTIONS, which costs the pensioners heavily.such cases all over will be rare & Pragmatic acceptance the need of the hour.Many employees & pensioners are bearing such High losses.Lack of Domiciliary benefits pinches pensioners .
 
B)i)It is months & years, we have been asking fervently to grant SAME CMB;CASH MEDICAL BENEFIT ON SAME SCALE AS FOR EMPLOYEES,ranging from Rs 9800 to class 3 & 4 per annum ,rising for Class 2, then ClassI DIVIDED INTO 2 SCALES & Maximum Rs29400pa for EDs.Empathy is the criteria to expedite to reduce grievous losses to PENSIONERS.

ii)Again earlier,you had agreed to approve agerelated rise in Basic Pension for ages 80,85,90, 95 & 100 by 20%,30,40,50 & 100%.,All know very few cases or Nil will be at ages 95 & 100,even at 90  very few
Outlay will be a pittance.   
C)Yet another simple solution for cases where RP dies,Family Pensioner gets Regular pension till age 65 ,now as Retirement age is 60, 7 years ,67 extension MUST have been granted,But Final approval & release be issued without delay
D) i told him if final PICTURE of those availing GROUP MEDI CLAIM in respect of those Who wERE not EARLIER COVERED,STATEMENT must have been received from All offices by early January 2024.I requested him to inform the position.he replied still some DOs have not sent. i requested him to send atleast SZ Picture to infer the correct picture of compliance,for their own benefit only.
 
Greetings
