ALL ARE FOOLING PENSIONERS
All along for the past 20 years AIBRF has refused to take legal action at appropriate time regarding retirees including updation, maintaining that retirees issues should be resolved through negotiations only.
While it is so as Hon.head of 20 years old AIBRF Mr.S.C.Jain know very well that unless UFBU takes up issue of Updation with IBA and IBA sends proposals to DFS updation issue will not move further.
Same procedure was followed in the improvement of Family Pension.
AIBRF should meet all constituents of UFBU and ensure that they have discussed the issue with IBA and a proposal for updation has been sent to DFS for approval.
In the absence of proposal DFS will not take any unilateral decision and as on date there are only oral assurances and no written record from DFS indicating updation is in progress.
FM during Nov 2020 took positive attitude towards updation and it is for UFBU to grab this opportunity to speed up discussing issue with IBA. But AIBEA is taking up many issues like NPAs. Foreign exchange utilization and other national issues by collecting data and posting it on websites.
But AIBEA and AIBOC are expressing inability to collect data of cost of updation which is availble within industry.
IBA negotiating consists of MDs of Banks only and not outsiders. They also fool retirees by claiming cost data is not ready. Thet can easily instruct their own pension cells to submit data within one week or so.
AIBRF and AIBPARC should meet UFBU leaders and find out truth behind the delay in updation process.
AIBRF and AIBPARC should also clarify can FM take unilateral decision on Updation without proposal from IBA?
