Dear Gentlemen,
Further to MOU dated 22.7.2020:
We have to invite your kind attention to our mail dated 22.8.2020.
BEFI had now been dropped from UFBU & IBA, hope, most ugly picture is clear. BEFI didn't sign MOU, may be a wrong in IBA view, but how UFBU could take a similar view of IBA is something inappropriate in nature, but neither shocking nor surprising.
On 3rd October 20, 4 Officers' Unions have written a letter to UFBU Convener, which clears the the position that they 4 are on same boat, may be honestly or or dishonestly, just projecting so, as face saving strategy. On this letter our open letter is in public domain, hope, you all your have read that.
NCBE -AIBEA are one side of coin and IBA is on other side of same coin. It's abundantly clear to every Banker in Banks' job or retired. BEFI being neutralized, remaining INBEF & NOBW have insignificant coinage now. Better option for INBEF, BEFI & NOBW is to take right view of whole situation and make their stand clear, as done by 4 Officers Unions, may be just as a face saving strategy similar to 4 OUs. Our statement shall remain same, till the rule of game is not changed and we conclude, you all have some fair business in bank men matters.
Discuss among yourselves, how your signing a settlement make you important and significant, when the most important and significant part of the settlement shall be missing from ensuing settlement? Situation is such, neither Officers' 4 Unions nor 3 of workmen jointly or severally have any relevance. If they jointly take a stand not to sign settlement without Pension revision on RBI lines, we think, they shall have restore their lost relevance and credibility. By such your collective stand, there is nothing to loose, rather shall gain a new dimension in Banking industry. As far wage revision part is concerned, it's done with. 15% Wage increase, loading, load amount and date of effect of new wage pact have been sealed. Bankers can't go back from this situation. Pension Revision, D.A., Health Insurance, Pension/gratuity on Special allowance and fair implementation of SCI judgement are the issues of equalities. Pension Revision because it is done in RBI, not in other Banks. D.A. because it is paid to working people, but not to retirees. Health insurance because it is given to working people, but not to retirees. Implementation of SCI judgement, bankers are bound to do it. In nut shell, issue is 'discrimination' where Bankers are on wrongs. You can easily foil IBA obnoxious stands on these issues and political situation in country is quite friendly and conducive, as govt is not in a position to take any tough stand particularly in Bank men issues. IBA's cost factor is just a stumbling block that you can surmount. Just, it needs you confidently say 'no' to inking ensuing settlement, without Pension Revision and health from WFs as per DFS letter dated 24.2.2012 etc. Believe, you will have upper hand. Believe, your such stand shall be hailed. Believe, Special Allowance will get parity to Special Pay. With risk, there is no gain is an old adage. Here, what are the risks, if you appraise, you will find 'no' risk, but gains.
You all can avoid the blunders that you all had committed on 30.1 2020, when govt was under heavy pressure due to strike action of 31.1.20 & 1.2.20. That day, govt cleared 15% wage increase that you set as a condition, to which you flouted idiotically. Having achieved that, you all should have asked words for most contentious issue of Pension Revision. You all should have told IBA to take 2/3 hours to apply their mind on this issue, waited for. You were to win that day itself, but you all were strategically unequipped with necessary competence that made you fail.
We think, it's another opportunity to prove your mettle. You need not to seek permission from so called Convener of UFBU. They are now just 2 puppets. In our view their days are over. Their followers are aware of their game. You need not to join their play. Take independent view and decide having thoroughly considered.
But, if you are in search of face saving devices, these days in market, you can get a mask at 50 paise rate. Take it and put it on. For the God sake, be honest and sincere because trade union is a serious business that you all have down graded in last 20 years and become street vendor.

Obstruction at 11th hour by
11th hour strategists
their alies....
New Delhi 8-9 OCT
S a t y a g r a h
S a t y a g r a h
runs into bad weather..
At 11.20 last mid-night,
Police Cops Deliver DCP,
Central District, Delhi
letter to Satyagrahi,
Sri R.S. Sharma,
Rejecting Permission.....
Pensioner Brothers & Sisters,
National Capital, New Delhi, has neither been under National Emergency nor lockdown. New Delhi is under normal condition, all socio-economic-political activities are going on, of course, with necessary health precautions as prescribed by Government of India under unlocking processes.
On 7th October afternoon in a dramatic move, the SHO, Kamla Market, on pleas of (i) outbreak of epidemic & (ii) law & order points, rejected the Satyagrah permission. Sri RS Sharma, Satyagrahi, replied to said rejection as unlawful and against the freedom & liberty that he has according to Constitution. He contended that he was lone Satyagrahi, would follow necessary precautions like social distancing, masking, sanitization etc. Further, he is a responsible senior citizen, so in his sitting on peaceful Satyagrah, there wouldn't be any law & order issue. Despite this, the Dy. Commissioner of Police, Central District, Delhi, delivered a shield cover through Police cops to Sri Sharma containing a rejection letter on plea of outbreak of covid-19 and lockdown guidelines of Central Government. Thank God, DCP didn't raise law & order point, as held by SHO. Sri Sharma, 77 was asleep, his door was knocked and he was called out to receive the cover in question yesterday at 11.20 pm.
In the morning, today, he reached to Kamla Market PS, urging that he should be allowed to stay at Satyagrah point so that visiting supporters could be informed of rejection. It was also denied. However, Sharmaji stayed at venue for few hours.
S a t y a g r a h purpose was eloquently explained. It was with a view
to focus our issues, and draw the kind attention of govt. towards issues related to Pension revision, equality in
D.A. & Health insurance matter and treating Special Allowance at par with Special Pay. Hon'ble SCI judgement has not been fairly dealt with by Banks.
We regret, Grand Finale could not take place. Our path has been abruptly obstructed by forces of 11th hour strategists. We all know, who are these 11th hour strategists. They may note, such obstructions shall never dishearten us, rather this will work as great stimulus to us to fight to finish. Bank men, working and retirees know, who are henchmen & puppets of Bankers.
Mission Kuber - New Delhi has spent a lot of money and energy in preparations, banners, brochures, refreshments etc to make Satyagrah stupendous & spectacular. You know, Mission Kuber-New Delhi is the Central Platform of Activists, voluntary in nature and self funded. With most precious scarce resources, they have tried to serve retirees cause.
However, let us not dishearten ourselves. We shall move with more vigour and strength.
However, we express our sincere thanks to all our Activists, followers, sympathizers for associating with the great task and conveying solidarity messages beyond expectations. Rise up and look forward. Satyagrah was to awaken pensioner brothers & sisters and identify the issues in more clear terms. We have been successful in these objectives, undoubtedly.
Our fight is against 'discriminations' that bankers do with our fraternity. In nut shell, our fight is for equity & justice, against illegal and unethical discriminations that amount to breach of trust and criminal negligence from the institutions who are 'state' in the eye of Constitution.
Please wait for further actions. Keep your powder dry to plunge into action whenever called upon.
Greetings,
