AN OPEN LETTER TO MR. SOUMYA DUTTA , GENERAL SECRETARY , AIBOC.

Dear MR. Dutta,

Greetings of the day ---  greetings  for crucifying the retirees’ will, desire and legitimate demands of pension revision etc. ----- greetings for barricading the road of the retirees and their families  to get  treatment in hospitals at the fag end of their life ---    greetings for eating your own word for downgrading  your honesty, sincerity and  integrity  in the eyes of lakh and lakh of retirees who started to consider you as the last refuge and  greetings for bringing yourself to the level of your counterpart.

Being cheated by UFBU in 2015 in such a manner which is not common in a civilized society like ours ( on which AIBOC had also played a decisive role ) , we were at a loss and trying to find out the remedial measure. Then you appeared before us as Lord Krishna and declared in an unequivocal fashion that AIBOC would not sign the Record Note unless the retirees’ issues are settled. We, the fool retirees , believed you  despite having bitter experience of being cheated and robbed by the leaders of your  UFBU .

Let us go back to the days prior to 25-05-2015 when you signed the BLACK NOTE ( an appropriate term to the retirees for RECORD NOTE).

We are not going to describe how the other side of the coin tested the retirees’ killing virus manufactured in the UFBU’s laboratory in 2015  ; for, you took the same sample  from the same laboratory and successfully tested its efficiency in 2019 too. Congratulation for your grand success !!!!!

 Now, we describe how we were betrayed , cheated and robbed.

MR. CHV gave us the assurance in the same fashion in 2015 as you assured us in 2019. In 2015 , nothing was done for the existing retirees and future retirees were crucified by not taking into account the Special Pay in superannuation causing an average loss of pension around Rs.1500/ pm.,  AND we were robbed when the domiciliary cover was denied after ACCEPTING PREMIUM ON EXPLICIT CONDITION THAT THE SAME WOULD BE COVERED. As it was incorporated in BPS / BLACK NOTE , we believed it , and opted out from our respective insurance cover. But, when we claimed domiciliary expenses incurred by us , to our utter surprise, we were denied and were told that there was no such clause in the policy document. In stead of launching agitation and filing suit , whether civil or criminal ,  you went on hibernation . You are aware that  AIBPARC passed a resolution and requested you , at least, to arrange to return that amount of the premium which were considered as the price of domiciliary cover. Don’t know whether under your threat or otherwise, AIBPARC deleted only that part from their letter to you. This shows you knew from the very beginning that domiciliary cover would not be available --- yet IBA & Banks circulated it in their websites. SHAME ! SHAMME ! SHAME!!   This shows your unholy nexus in cheating and robbing the retirees. Do you know the extent of sufferings of the retirees by this invention in the laboratory of UFBU under the guidance of IBA? Poor retirees were under the cover of their respective scheme prior to 2015 . The moment they opted out ,  all privileges such retirees were entitled  had been forfeited and thus they were forced to be in the IBA’s Health Insurance Scheme .  Your laboratory also took care of the future income --- under the cover of ICR , the premium become spiral and has reached to such a level where not a single subordinate staff are under this scheme . Had Mirzaffar been alive , he would also salute you for your mastery on cheating, robbing and conspiracy.

However, you know more than what we  told hereinabove , because all pros and cons of conspiracy does not come in light.

We request you to let us know whether the volume of blood of the retirees  you estimated to suck  has been consumed by you . If not, consume the rest amount at the earliest.

When such volume will be completely  consumed , please do any one of following three :--

(i) Revise the relevant clause of BEPRA, 1995 where power to negotiate on the retirees’ issues were vested only with the in service unions ;

(ii) Arrange a coaching class organized by the  United Forum of Reserve Bank Officers & Employees , and attend those classes sincerely. We think, retirees will bear that cost.

(iii) Leave BPS , go for Pay Commission.

CONGRATULATION FOR YOUR GLORIUS SUCCESS IN BETRAYING THE RETIREES
