Medical facilities toVRS staff of BOB

[supriya bose]

1. Dear Sirs
   

I would like to get a confirmation whether medical facilities which are extended to normal retirees have

 been extended to staff who took VRS in 2001.If yes then what are the steps to be taken to get the benefits.Also are we eligible for Holiday Home facilities too.?

[Jag Jit Singh]

Supriya ji, 

Till date Hospitalisation /Medical scheme for retired employees by BOB has not been extended to VRS -2001 optees , though some legal cases are pending in addition to that BOBROA is pursuing the matter with the management .  

SVRS-2001 optees are  eligible to avail Holiday home facility.

Dear Ms Supriya Bose
With Bank of Baroda our Bank's (BoB Retired officers association as well others) have made a request for Medical facilities to SVRS 2001people as available to regular retirees. It is still under consideration and I think Canara Bank has already extended it to SVRS persons of their bank.
The Holiday home facility is extended to SVRS 2001 persons on completion of 60 years .(subject to availability on first come first served basis) Kindly verify yourself from the controlling office/retiree associations.
With regards
Sivakumar V K
(BoB -SVRS 2001)

In most of the banks,the medical facilities are not extended to SVRS retirees at par with normal retirees .Canara bank may be an exception..Even reimbursement of hospitalisation expenses is not available to normal retirees as is available to Central govt or LIC employees.This is one most important issue to be achieved which will be beneficial to all retirees.

If the fecilities are not extended to VRS retirees it amount to discrimination since the SVRS/ Banks VRS scheme under the pension regulations do not permit such discrimination

Dear all,

In short I narrate the entire episode of BOB Discrimination as under:

Employees retired from the Bank's Service on 31.03.2001 under the Bank's Voluntary retirement Scheme known as BOBEVRS-2001.

According to Bank of Baroda Contributory Medical Assistance Scheme for Retired Employees scheme we should have been invited for membership immediately after my retirement on 31.03.2001 but not invited causing descrimination. The matter is followed with BOB since 2001 itself.

All the times whenever I wrote to the Bank in respect of this scheme, they used to write me ‘AT PRESENT YOU BOBEVRS-2001 SCHEME EMPLOYEES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE SCHEME.’ But to our utter surprise the TERM ‘AT PRESENT ‘ had no end for the last thirteen years.
Now in accordance with the Judgment dated 27.03.2009 in CA 1942/2005 Bank of India & Anr vs K.Mohandas & Ors, issues relating to our retirement are amply clarified by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India and now the matter of adhoc retirement under BOBEVRS-2001 is crystallized into retirement . In view of this clarification all VRS employees now stand on equal footing with the other retired employees. As such Bank should have offered membership under the above scheme at least as on date of Supreme Court judgment. Which the bank has yet not offered. Apart from this, we further submit as under:

1.     Bank has issued Circular No.CO:BR:92/157 for BOBEVRS-2001 on 14.12.2000 and The circular does not contain the exclusion clause for BOBEVRS-2001 retirees.

2.     Therefore question of  inclusion of BOBEVRS-2001 employees in the circular No. HO:BR:92/317 dated 09.11.2000 does not arise as BOBEVRS-2001 circular no. CO:BR:92/157 was issued after the issue of Bank of Baroda Contributory Medical Assistance Scheme for Retired Employees. And BOBEVRS circular dated 14.12.2000 does not contain any exclusion clause for Bank of Baroda Contributory Medical Assistance Scheme for Retired Employees scheme for employees retiring under BOBEVRS-2001.

3.     Circular No. HO:BR:92/317 dated 09.11.2000 for Bank of Baroda Contributory Medical Assistance Scheme for Retired Employees in Annexure I under Clause 6 for clarification does mention as under:
All employees already retired or retiring hereafter will be covered under the Bank of Baroda Contributory Medical Assistance Scheme for Retired Employees.

In our old age, Contributory Medical Aid Scheme for Retired employees becomes a social security measure and its denial is the denial of the rightful post retirement benefit to the BOBEVRS-2001 retirees.

We have already been denied our rightful retirement benefit for the last 13 years and the bank continues to do so.
This has resulted in loss due to getting cover under the medical insurance, annual aid for domiciliary treatment up to Rs.3500/-per annum. This being the 14^th  year total loss suffered is Rs.45000/- plus hospitalization benefit under the scheme.
Some retirees even died for want of the treatment, the loss caused is enormous.
The Banks General Manager, HRD also has written to me to not to write them in this matter.

When they write to me ‘AT PRESENT YOU BOBEVRS-2001 SCHEME EMPLOYEES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE SCHEME.’ I am bound to write the Bank periodically enquiring my turn of coverage under the scheme.

Recently Dist Consumer Forum Nagpur on 31.12.2011 has allowed the complaint of the undersigned with decision in favor of the undersigned with case reference as under.

तक्रार दाखल दिनांक :23/11/2010 आदेश पारित दिनांक:31/12/2011 तक्रार क्रमांक :- 727/2010

However Bank filed appeal against the said judgment and now the matter is pending with State Consumer Forum.
