Circular No 09/2024 The Chairperson, L I C of India, Central Office, "Yogakshema", Jeevan Bima Marg, MUMBAI Dear Sir,

Re: 1) NOIP's Charter of Demands vis-à-vis Conciliation proceedings signed on 28-04-2023 in the presence of Dy Chief Labour Commissioner (Central), Bhubaneshwar, 2) Non-invitation to NOIP for information sharing session.

• ➢
  We are happy to learn that, today the in-service unions were called for the information sharing session on wage revision.
• ➢
  NOIP being the only registered trade union of pensioners in LIC, was not invited for the said session. We lodge our strong protest.
• ➢
  As per the conciliation agreement reached by NOIP with LIC on 28-04-2023, LIC was directed by the Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner, Bhubaneshwar, to forward the NOIP's charter of demands to DFS for consideration.
• ➢
  Offer of Single one-time ex gratia payment to pensioners and family pensioners of aged 70 and above (part of wage revision), again fortifies your continued "divide and rule' policy, which we condemn. We demand this payment be made to all the pensioners and family pensioners irrespective of their age.
• ➢
  Nothing is spelt out about the ex-gratia pension every month as part of pension updation.
• ➢
  Any issue/offer concerning pensioners, should necessarily be discussed with NOIP, a registered pensioners' union.
• ➢
  We also expect you to come out with details of one-time ex gratia payment and exgratia pension every month, immediately, without keeping the pensioners in darkness any more. This situation of uncertainty does not augur well. The seniors who have built this great edifice with their sweat and toil have to be properly rewarded.

We expect you to respect our feelings and remedy the situation and also to accede to our rightful demand of immediately calling NOIP for the talks in this regard.

We fervently hope that necessary action would be initiated immediately. With regards and thanks,

Yours Sincerely,

General Secretary
