AIBRF ON NON RESPONSE ON THEIR LETTERS TO HIGHER UPS!

[MOHAN P]

Prayer for Urgent Intervention Regarding Non-Response to Representations on Long Pending Pension & Retiree Welfare Issues of Bank Pensioners 

[MOHAN P]

Dear Friends,

While every bank retirees are eagerly looking forward towards the outcome of court proceedings (let it be positive or negative)partly heard   at Apex Court AIBRF the Apex retirees organisation is keeping silent on the issue as usual and try to  deviate  from the subject by continue to write letters/reminders as their usual style on non receipt of any response to their letters from DFS/RBI/IBA!

It is funny to to note that how PM office is responsible for non receipt of reply from IBA a voluntary association without any statutory authority  for letters sent by AIBRF to them!

Despite writing series of letters all these years to DFS or officials,if AIBRF could not get even an acknowledgement from  them is clear example that the above authorities have not recognised the existence of such organisation of bank retirees.

IBA itself made clear that they may not entertain any correspondence with retirees or their organisations and need to anticipate any reply.

Any one can write letters to any office in a democratic set up on their issues.There may have at least  further follow up or personal visit thereafter in such cases.Rarely it happened!

AIBRF leader ship should introspect on their such activities of mere writing writing letters to authorities which has not revoked any responce since past few years.

Let them at least meet and discuss with leaders of UFBU consistently  to find out possible way out to sort out our major issue, who are only authorised now  to negotiate with IBA on retirees issues.

The efforts placed on writing letters and submitting memorandums by AIBRF  are  diverted towards meeting the UFBU leaders and convincing them on  the need for pension updation,  would have fetched better results.

Mainly ego clashes are coming on the way of each retiree organisation.

AIBRF is concentrating more on publicity than on achieving the results.  It is painful to note that AIBRF is silent on latest developments in Singla case.

Regards.

Strong foundation i.e serious discussion between IBA and UFBU is a must to  resolve updation issue  outside court.

AIBRF is going to build a roof without a foundation.

DFS has made it clear that it will consider updation if a proposal  is submitted by IBA.

Further it is a commonsense that DFS which is a party in  M C Singla case will not respond positively to AIBRF letters. Further AIBRF has no goal, focus,commitment and consistency on any issue. One day ex gratia, next day Medical issue,then right to negotiate etc. How DFS will respond?

This is in contrast to RBI seving unions and Pensioners assns unity. They continuously and consistently focussed only on updation and achieved it. Though AIBPARC also adopted the same programs, it is appreciable that it took positive action in  M C Singla case after the death of Sri Singla. 

It must be noted that many MPs.MLAs have sent letters to DFS on Updatiion and other issues but not received any response. DFS will never directly intervene in the matter. AIBRF should meet UFBU leaders and convince them to take up the issue with IBA and resolve the issue.

I think after the 5th Feb proceedings in SC AIBRF is frustrated.

This they should have done long back, and followed up also 

persistently and then other necessary actions for the pensioners.

IBA has already told in clear terms that any proposal for improvements in the benefits for Pensioners would be considered, only if it is COST NEUTRAL 

UFBU has also revealed its mind when a senior leader of a major constituent of UFBU, in the course of  his speech at a recent conference, mentioned about the plight of their majority members under NPS who are deprived of the benefits of 

pension under BEPR.

A study of the rules and procedures relating to the working of the pension fund under BEPR will make any pensioner understand that updation will definitely result in additional costs for banks.

In my opinion, there is no need at all to convince UFBU in the matter as they have accepted the need for updation but are pleading inability for its immediate 

implementation, citing cost factor,  thereby indicating tacitly that presently the banks surplus is sufficient to meet the needs of serving employees alone.

So, unless IBA and UFBU are ready to share the paying capacity of banks for the purpose of updation, the only hope left for the pensioners is an unchallengeable verdict from the Supreme Court to update the pension forthwith.
