 Subject: Reduction in Pension for employees under 10th BPS

 Respected Sirs,

 This is to bring it to your kind notice that a group of Bank employees who are retiring on or after 01.11.2012 are getting badly affected by reduction in Pension. This has been agitating the minds of the employees. Never in the history of the Public Sector Banks in any Bipartite settlement such a thing has happened.

 We request you to be sympathetic to the cause of the Retiring employees who have served sincerely for the growth and consolidation of Banks for the past 35 to 40 Years. This is the major group of the employees retiring in very large numbers who are recruited to the Banks';service immediately after their Nationalisation.Many of them have given their best part of their lives in serving the remote areas of the country on cross country transfers.Most of them have to /are retiring with very little number of promotions and hence their Salary had been low. With the present 10th BPS signed,it has dealt unrecoverable blow to their hope of living in peace during their retired lives.

 In order to focus attention of the concerned Authorities and Participants for signing of the 10th BPS to Bank employees a Social survey is conducted on Social Media (Face Book). The resonse is overwhelming and members responded in large numbers spontaneously. We request you recognising the feelings and hopes of the employees in the ensuing meeting with Retired employees Associations /Unions necessary and suitable amendments may be made so that after a hard labour of service the employees will be allowed to retire peacefully and respectfully.
We reproduce the Text of the Post for the survey:

Retired Bank Employees ‘Leaders are supposed to meet the IBA in the THIRD WEEK of JUNE as per IBA-CHAIRMAN invitation.

 The Retired employee’s leaders as usual like UFBU leaders have not come open and made clear their agenda / Demands for discussion. They have not sought any inputs from the members. It is strange that they maintain Stoic silence on issues currently agitating the minds of the Young retirees (on after 01.11.2012): Therefore we have come forward to set an agenda for the Retired leaders because the interests of the young retirees should not be sacrificed at the ALTAR, of doing JUSTICE to the Old Pensioners. We don’t believe in division of Pensioners into various categories. So every retired employee is a PENSIONER and the problems are common:

 WE DEMAND:
1. NO Reduction in Pension(for retirees from 01.11.2012). Grade Pay/Spl.Pay must be reckoned to the PF and PENSION.
2. The additional Stagnation increment must be made applicable from 01.11.2012 without any discrimination.
OR
If the Spl.Pay or Grade Pay is not ranking for Pension, old rate of DA should be made applicable (As on date 50% instead of 33.33%).
3. PENSION UPDATION to all Pensioners coinciding with Wage revision.
4. The Wage revision must be converted into TRIPARTITE with the Retired employee’s representatives.
5. The Representatives of the Retired Employees on the Board of management of the Fund.
If you agree for the above demands to be placed before IBA please say “YES” if you believe otherwise say “NO”.
(Please share it on your Face Book Page for better and wider circulation. The result / your opinion (survey) will be sent to the leaders)
