Exgratia Increase.

Instead of asking for Exgratia payment amount the RTI or updation,  we can volunteer for IBA and UFBU to increase Exgratia by 1000 rs and can pay DA for the total Exgratia amount also in future in lieu of Updation.   This will improve to a greater extend  pensioners financial strain. Better try alternate options rather than fighting with. Even Govts throughout World are Run like this.

IBA-UFBU appear to take the stand that a review need not necessarily result
in an increase and that in the reviews promptly made in April 2024 and
April 2025 as stipulated in the BPS, it was decided to continue the same
amounts as no case was made out for a revision (upward/downward). For them,
the word 'reviewing' is akin to the word 'considering' which does not
always mean considering favourably.
We should, in fact, be happy that the reviews did not result in a decrease.

Sirs, Banks should reply with figures without ambiguity - which gives
unnecessary doubts in minds of pensioners.
 
However, what we want to do with these figures ? Even if it is 10 crores
or 100 crores - any action/inferance intended ?
 
Please think it over.

IBA have only two arguments against Updation in M C Singhla case.
1. Pension regulation does not have provision for periodical rev vision of
pension.
2. Banks cannot afford the cost of Updation.
UFBU can negotiate the issue with IBA with some modification of the RBI
formula for updation.
*******************
But in SC updation case the first argument of IBA does not hold much
validity after Union government approved updation in RBI.
But as far as cost is concerned IBA will get all information from Banks and
petitioners will be at great disadvantage. Without authentic
information petitioners cannot counter IBA claim of huge cost effectively.
This is purely one sided affair. But IBA and Banks attitude towards
pensioners is "we are dealing with
UFBU, who are you to seek details. You are third party"
Pay commission, RBI,LIC are treating their pensioners in dignified manner.

Do we have any information that actually some review has been done?

We do not know what exactly is our demand of updation. Is it similar to
RBI employees pension or something else?
We also do not know what is the cost of any updation exercise.
As a temporary measure the ex-gratia system was introduced.
 
Now the banks have the data of ex-gratia payment. If this data is shared,
we can work out the cost of increase in exgratia very easily. There is no
requirement of elaborate calculation involving actuary estimation. Only for
funding actuary estimation may be required. Based on this, a demand for
suitable increase in ex-gratia can be put up for discussion and any
possible agreement.
 
But before getting the data, why to guess that the data will be useless for
us?

Dear  Sir,                           
"  Namaskaar ".  We seek your best wishes.
The Profit or Loss of  Nationalised banks is that of theGovernment. 
- Nothing prevents to give equal salary to all employees
of Public Sector Undertakings, Central and State GovernmentEmployees.  
To improve the character of the nation andreducing the burden of the Courts ( Over 5 Crore cases pending )Judicial Powers should be given to Employees of PSUs. Thiswill enhance the feeling in the mind of Employees of PSUs( e.g. Nationalised Banks / Insurance, etc. ) that they belongto Government. 
Merely mentioning " A Government of India Undertaking " below the name of the Nationalised Bank, Insurance Companies etc. will not help the Nation.
The Government helps Banks is well known. e.g.

- Capital Infusion (Recapitalization): Directly injecting funds (equity) into PSBs to strengthen their capital base, as seen with ₹2.20 lakh crore infusion in the three years ending 2019.
- Facilitating Other Funds: Encouraging banks to raise funds from markets (e.g., ₹0.66 lakh crore raised alongside government infusion).
 
Of course, the MLAs, MPs, IAS Babus, IPS, etc. may notsubscribe for such reformation / progress easily.
Sir, we request you to take up the matter suitably withthe Finance Minister to make suitable legislationin the interest of the country please.
Thanking you,
With kind regards,
With greetings,
Yours,

IBA will never agree to give DA on ex-gratia as the cost will be much more than even the cost of updation based on the lines of RBI pensioners' updation.

To elucidate, I belong to the 6th BPS group and am getting an ex-gratia of ₹4400 p.m. The present rate of DA for this group is 729.08%. So, if the ex-gratia is hiked to ₹5400, the DA on it will work out to ₹39370. And the total increase in my pension will come to more than 90%.
