uppdation

Manickam Ravindran <manickam...@gmail.com>: Dec 01 01:39PM +0530 Over the years, various retiree organisations, federations, and individual petitioners have approached the judiciary to seek relief, emphasising that pension updation is not a gratuitous benefit but an integral part of social security under the Pension Regulations. They argue that the principles of fairness and dignity of life, as upheld in several Supreme Court rulings for government pensioners, must equally apply to bank pensioners. While the Indian Banks’ Association and certain banks have cited financial implications as a concern, retirees maintain that updation is both legally tenable and financially manageable when spread over time.   Against this backdrop, the upcoming hearing scheduled for 10 December 2025 assumes considerable significance. It is understood that a single, consolidated case is likely to be taken up, potentially streamlining the multiple petitions pending across forums. This consolidation raises expectations that the court may deliver clarity on core issues such as parity with RBI pension updation, actuarial feasibility, and the binding nature of Regulation 35(1) of the Pension Regulations.   Although outcomes cannot be predicted, the very fact that the matter is coming up for focused hearing has revived optimism among retirees. A decisive judicial view—whether interim or final—could shape the future course of negotiations between bank managements, the government, and retiree bodies. For thousands of senior citizens dependent on their monthly pension, the hearing on 10 December 2025 represents not just a legal milestone, but a moment of renewed hope for long-awaited justice. The big question is whether the case will be taken up for hearing on 10th dec or ,as usual , scheduled for a later date . Let us keep our fingers crossed   Manickam Ravindran 9176607195

AIBRF WRITE TO UNIONS

jitendra gandhi <gandhiji...@gmail.com>: Nov 30 09:42AM +0530 Thank you very much Mohan sir   jitendra gandhi

JSOMA SHEKARA <jsomase...@gmail.com>: Nov 30 09:41AM +0530 Medical Insurance issue is over. Concentrate on Updation. IBA medical insurance is an excuse to divert issues. 750000 pensioners waiting for resolution of Updation. Merger of DA UFBU long back included in the agenda in BPS the demand of *Medical Insurance cover upto Rs.200000 for all retirees to be borne by banks* *This demand is now buried forever..* Throughout the year, simply discussing cosmetic changes in IBA insurance scheme and boasting it as a big achievement when there are more important issues like merger of DA and Updation, Pension on special allowance is pending for decades is ridiculous.

Ramani Konnayar <knra...@gmail.com>: Dec 01 11:08AM +0530 I think, pension on special allowance will never be granted as, in my opinion, the concept of special allowance was introduced only with the full concurrence of UFBU in the BPS negotiations. The reason was to avoid a double bonanza to those who are under the Old Pension Scheme viz., a good salary while in service and a consequent good pension based on it. This move was perhaps intended to placate the majority of members who are under NPS (annuity based pension with no DA). The scenario may change if, at least, UPS is introduced in the place of NPS.       On Mon, 1 Dec, 2025, 10:01 am JSOMA SHEKARA, <jsomase...@gmail.com> wrote:

DISCUSSION WITH DFS BY UNIONS TODAY

SHAILEN Bhavnani <sgbha...@rediffmail.com>: Nov 28 01:14PM &nbsp;   Dear Shri Bandhopadhyay ji,   Your reading of the situation is absolutely right. UFBU has always been misguiding it&#39;s members as well as ex-members, I.e. the Retirees.   &nbsp;             -- Regards, S.G. Bhavnani Contact No. +919540410341         From: jsomase...@gmail.com   Sent: Fri, 28 Nov 2025 09:53:09   To: Bankpensioner Google &lt;bankpe...@googlegroups.com&gt;   Subject: Re: bankpensioner DISCUSSION WITH DFS BY UNIONS TODAY   &nbsp;   The UFBU has issued a circular today itself on the discussion held with DFS. It is stated that the Govt discussed on the implementation of four labour codes introduced in replacement of existing 29&nbsp;   codes. Also said that some other points were&nbsp; discussed without&nbsp; &nbsp;elaborating further&nbsp; in the circular.&nbsp;   &nbsp;   But I firmly believe that the meeting called by DFS today ( 27.11.2025) was not for discussion on labour code implementation.&nbsp;   &nbsp;   My conviction is because of three reasons:-&nbsp;   &nbsp;   First&nbsp; reason is that the four&nbsp; labour codes have already been passed by the Parliament and are&nbsp; brought into effect&nbsp; from November 21, 2025. So, it has no meaning of discussing with any trade union now. That too for discussion of its implementation at this stage ,because this&nbsp; must have been taken care of before placing&nbsp; it in the parliament .&nbsp;   &nbsp;   Secondly, UFBU is not the right forum for discussion on newly adopted&nbsp; labour law codes . If at all it is to be discussed by the Govt, then the right forum for discussion will be the various central trade unions like, INTUC, AITUC, CITU, BMS, HMS , UTUC etc.&nbsp; All industry specific&nbsp; trade unions&nbsp; are affiliated to any&nbsp; of these central trade unions only. UFBU is not a central trade union .&nbsp;   What is the&nbsp; locus standi of UFBU to discuss on implementation of labour code ? In what way UFBU is concerned with implementation of labour code ?&nbsp;   &nbsp;   Thirdly, if the Govt is at all interested to hold any discussion on newly adopted&nbsp; labour code with Central Trade Union bodies , then the ministry of labour is the right authority to hold such discussion , not DFS ! DFS is a department of Finance Ministry to administer financial services !&nbsp;   &nbsp;   So, this circular of UFBU is&nbsp; to fallaciously circumvent the real points of discussion .   &nbsp;   Biswanath Bandyopadhyay   Mumbai   Rtd Head HR   eDena Bank&nbsp;   27/11/25   &nbsp;     On Thu, 27 Nov 2025, 16:47 MOHAN P, &lt;moha...@gmail.com&gt; wrote:     Discussion by Secretary, DFS with #UFBU&nbsp;       &nbsp;   &nbsp; --   Visit our blog site http:://bankpensioner.blogspot.com   ---   You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups &quot;bankpensioner&quot; group.   To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to bankpensione...@googlegroups.com.   To view this discussion visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/bankpensioner/CAMCbyDTYO8FtQneHgcF_rqbm4E_XrzorrmidqvrywLXOVdEx5Q%40mail.gmail.com.     &nbsp; --   Visit our blog site http:://bankpensioner.blogspot.com   ---   You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups &quot;bankpensioner&quot; group.   To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to bankpensione...@googlegroups.com.   To view this discussion visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/bankpensioner/CAM%3DeiW2-S2-Qm4HcunejXRk9Hhs3qCVqQXykR9%2BdJmf4wO%3D8XQ%40mail.gmail.com.

Rajender Sharma <rajender...@gmail.com>: Nov 28 04:19AM -0800 Sir, you are absolutely right. When the stage is set for implementing the labour codes,there is no point in holding discussions with the United Forum or with any Central trade Union. It seems to be an eye wash. The fact remains that the so called labour codes will deprive the workers of their hard won rights achieved in the last decades.
