The introduction of Special Allowance that is not eligible for pension and its increasing share once in 5 years has been done through Bipartite Settlements.
So to say, it has the full concurrence of UFBU. That being the case, how can DFS interfere in the matter and declare, as requested by AIBRF, that Special Allowance is eligible for pension. Only a court can do it and the case relating to the appeal by bank against judgements (by single judges) ruling so is pending before Division bench.
By the way, has UFBU, which has, at least been 'demanding' updation for so many years, ever spoken about special allowance?
