Dear Veteran Bankers,

Greetings & good wishes to all of you for grand success in your
career. Wish you to be safe & secured from the deadly pandemic along
with all your subordinates, your front line warrior faces.

With your kind permission, we would like to do some hard talk, of
course neither irrelevant nor inappropriate, on most awkward
predicaments, as under:

1. We think, you are apt professional of core values and handle your
assignments, ensuring cultural ethos, core values and ethics, be it
bank customers, businesses or the workforce.

2. We think, you are serving your Bank, as public servant, don't hold
any ownership right, vested or ancestoral interest in your Bank. In
plain words, Banks are neither your personal property nor you have any
capital investment in them. In more clear words, you don't have any
inheritance or ownership issues.

3. We think, you know and understand, the Bank which you govern, you
govern on behalf of it's master, Government of India, Ministry of
Finance. Government is owner and it attends to obligations that it
owes being owner of Banks.

In the aforesaid conditions, you can't be indifferent or flout the
feelings & ideas of master, irrespective consequences, good or bad,
because it is they who fall on back in all eventualities & casualties
in these national entities. Please take a leaf, back from
nationalization of Banks, in this regard, to clear your doubts, if
any.

4. Now, we come to our purpose of this communique, for which this
letter is written. We invite your kind attention to two important
historical developments, which never happened in the history of Indian
Banking vis-a-viz Govt.

(i) One, when Hon'ble Finance Minister had to convey her view points
about former Bankers, i.e. retirees, through media as she did in her
interview published on 30.10.2020 in Business Lines, which you all get
at Banks' cost. As she told, she met you, Mr. Dinesh Khara, and urged
to play big brother role, take up with IBA and resolve Pension
Revision issues. She talked to you also, Mr. Raj Kiran Rai, you being
IBA Chairman in same context on same line to resolve Pension Revision
& health issues of former bankers.

Trust, you understand and appreciate the gentle way the Hon'ble
Finance Minister chose, quite different to else, to push her govt
opinion, in a matter hanging over for last 25 years. You know, the
issue-revision- in question needs prior approval of government. Her
advices to both of you, as FM, should have been read as prior approval
of government, even without your asking. How do you all interprete her
these steps? Not as prior approval? Not as concurrence? You can term
it oral, but if so you should have sought it in writing, if calling
and telling by Hon'ble Finance Minister was not enough!

(ii) Two, we are sure, you all were present in 73rd Annual General
Body Meeting of your Association, IBA, held on 10.11.2020 and heard
her key note address with rapt attention. Hon'ble Finance Minister
addressed IBA AGM as Chief Guest. Before concluding her address and
giving thanks to IBA for inviting her on the occasion, she referred
again the issue in question and talked some extra lines, which appears
to have fallen in deaf ears. You all, were you attentive or not, we
can't say, but can't think so, because she was speaking as Chief
Guest, invited being Finance Minister! However, to afresh your memory,
we would like to quote Hon'ble Finance Minister's key note speech's
part before her thanking IBA and concluding with bit more stress as
under:

"...One of them, after all is the very particular case, sir, being
part of banks. Post retirement, Sir, they can't be forgotten, post
retirement they can't be left to depend themselves. I think it is
important, as much important is customer is your exstaff, who have
retired, who have now gone be with their families. Each one of them,
they did the best when they were there. I am sure many of you  be
retired therefore we can't be treating retired differently.

"As a former Defence Minister one ....... message which I would share
with you...
Defence person all they treat the defence families as that one. When
men are on border their family is taken care, when retired they are
taken care of them as one family always,.. ex-service or service.
Similarly I wish to see that culture in Banks so that all bank staff
and their families are one and they are in service or retired, you
will have to...talk of them & share for them."

We think, she gave more clean, clear & candid advices. Obviously, she
told you to follow Defense culture, how do they take care of families
of in-service and ex-staffers. Her view was crystal clear, OROP,
that's Defense culture she talked about. Was it not adequate for you
to take the issues of retirees seriously? Is it not ashaming that the
FM had to tell veteran PSBs executives the Defense 'cultural' in
personnel matter, which she wants in Banking. In Banking bilateralism
is over 55 year old. We take it as great disgrace to the 'high
offices' you hold that the FM is advising you in a matter of your
former bankers on whose shoulders you have risen to this level.

We think, none of you have an intention to ignore or flout Hon'ble
Finance Minister's advices or venture to take her  as lame duck! Can
you, please be frank? If not, then why you are giving a message in
public that you do not deed to FM's advices? If you are politicians,
we can understand it in that context. But, you are very obedient
executives. The Government relied on your ability & prudence to be
good guys for the tasks.

Hope, you don't play financial card, because it's non issue given the
facts & circumstances. If financial card has any relevance or meaning,
better it should have been played while deciding wages and allowances
of working staff. Banks financial difficulties were/are no secret to
anybody. They have been bleeding from 2017 onward. But, you agreed to
15% wage rise on 11.11.2020 and paid arrears for over 36 months. Thus,
please do not play follies of financial constraiants. Moreover, you
don't share the financial constraints at all. Despite losses, neither
your pay, allowances, perks were put on hold anytime or reduced. It's
government task to see financial matters, which it has been seeing
from time to time.

We are extremely sorry and disappointed as well that thousands of
Pensioners have had died with revision as their last desire. Pension
once fixed on retirement from 1.1.1986, has not once been revised. The
GMs retired after 1.1.1986 onward to 2000s get lesser pension than a
subordinate Pensioner retired after 1.11.2017. It's very pathetic
condition ashaming entire banking industry when fat salaries,
allowances, perks are paid to working hands, but no attention is paid
to retired staff. Hon'ble FM's talking of Defense culture, where
working and retired are taken due care, seem to have lost in thin air.

Please don't make mockery of Hon'ble Finance Minister, who conveyed
her words of assurance on number of occasions. Please don't make her
wrong, particularly in Bank men eye. Please don't bring a disgracing
situation of her gentlehood. Decide Pension revision on RBI line,
which is lawful contractual obligations of Banks and release from
March, 2019, as done in RBI case.

Hope, this letter is taken with great sense of magnanimity and
Pensioners plights are addressed forthwith.

Respectful Regards,


(J. N. Shukla)

Another appeal to the Bank Chiefs by the Forum of

Bank activists, very well and sharply also, pointing out

the

 positions as well as the dismay of the pensioners

even after the FM herself had asked them to set right

the issues. But whether the recipients will have the time

to read these is the moot question. The letter is copied to

the FM also and if she makes enquiry about   the progress in the 

matter, then we can expect something.

There appears to be a snag which is blocking in our case

vehemently.
