AIBEA TO MR D S MURTHY

[MOHAN P]

[JSOMA SHEKARA]

Mr.CHV has every right to take legal action against Mr.Murthy. One can question Unions and leaders for delay in resolving issues but personal attacks, accusations without evidence should not be made. If what mr.CHV disclosed is true then Mr.Murthy will face consequences.

But there are other 750000 pensioners who are silently searching for answers to questions 1. Why there is delay in resolving issues like Updation, DA merger. Pension on special allowance etc for the last 25 years. IBA/Banks are not communicating with retirees. While CHV has the constitutional right to take action against Mr.Murthy, it would have been fair if CHV had spared a few words to address these questions in the letter.

These questions do have answers but these won't be palatable to the pensioners, to say the least. Hence, they are not being answered under the hope that the pensioners will soon get too tired to pursue the issues and reconcile to their fate besides learning to keep content with what they get. 

That IBA is inclined to grant any new benefit to Pensioners ONLY IF IT IS COST NEUTRAL is enough indication for the shape of things to come. Unless there is a political intervention to do some justice to Pensioners, the situation will not change.

It is misfortune that some ppl are supporting chv, only God need to give justice to chv, the sooner the better. As reg murthy garu, nothing happens, bcz our courts took 20 years for genuine sr citizens issue, nothing will happen to murthy garu, since he did it for others snd God knows better that than others.

Dear Somashekara,

As rightly pointed out by you, the GS of AIBEA  is supposed to clarify  on his lapses to  Sri D S Murthy  and also to all the retirees before proceeding for legal action, if any.

Is it not right for retirees to support Mr murthy who was so far praised by many for his efforts.

The agrived retirees have right to question the UFBU leaders for not getting pensioner's issues resolved in time bound manner.
At the same time nobody has right to make personal and baseless allegations and character assassination of any leadership.
It is unfortunate that no retirees associations have succeeded in achieving our pending issues resolved .Shri D .S.Murthy is senior and matured person who is relentlessly echoing our plight is requested to avoid controversial writing against anybody and close the issue amicably with CHV with mutual respect and understanding.

What is the issue between Shri D.S . Murthy and CHV the general secretary of AIBEA.
CHV claims that Sri Murthy has defamed him by making false allegations which are baseless and provocative and involved in corrupt practices.
This is the bone of contention.
Is it necessary and right to make and pricpitate the matter?
A I B EA is the chief architect of pension scheme and succeeded in achieving it against the stiff opposition from all the constituents of UFBU.To day we are getting some pension for managing the day to needs.
No doubt we need updation and increase in pension.
This is the responsibility of UFBU to successfully achieve pension updation.
Why we should blame and make baseless allegations and indulge in charector assassination of AIBEA leaders.
Will it resolve our pending issues?
Therefore we have to be prudent in our communications any totally avoid such writings.
The big all India retirees associations also failed to convince the UFBU to successfully achieve pension updation.
As individuals what we can do?
As on today we are getting pension+ ex-gratia through bipartite negotiations between IBA and UFBU.
We have to request and pursue the pending issues through UFBU only.
The issues are very important.But writing against anybody will not help the retirees to achieve pension updation.
Therefore we have to pursue through all available Avenues with sofistication and be polite and dignified in our approach.
I am sure Shri D S.Murthy beeing learned and metured will   take care and resolve the issue With CHV in amicable manner as it deserves with out further pricpitation.

[JSOMA SHEKARA]

Mr.Satyanarayana whatever views Sri D S murthy had expressed, 90% of pensioners have also expressed such opinion all over the social media. But the language Sri D S Murthy had expressed is objectionable.

1. General opinion is UFBU is in collusion with IBA to deny benefits to retirees.

     UFBU silence on iBA actions support this opinion.

      While signing the EX gratia agreement it was agreed that the same would be reviewed every year starting from April 24. Few pensioners were happy that if  Ex gratia reviewed some financial benefit would be available. But IBA letter to CLC it is evident that Ex gratia was reviewed in consultation with UFBU which means UFBU agreed with IBA that no improvement is needed in Ex gratia.

 UFBU leaders with 6 decades of experience are well aware of legal position that mere pending of a case does not in any way bar negotiations between IBA and UFBU to discuss updation unless there is a stay from any court. But UFBU leaders  agreed with the IBA claim of sub judice without any protest.

There are small committee resolutions that permit updation as per RBI pension structure.

But IBA filed an affidavit before SC claiming that there is no provision in Pension regulation.

Why is UFBU  not protesting this even after RBI pensioners got updation twice although their pension regulations do not have provision for Updation.

UFBU blocking Updation and other benefits

On 08.03.2024 IBA and UFBU signed minutes agreeing to amend pension regulations to make provision for Updation in every settlement, merger of DA etc. But though 18 months have passed, UFBU is not taking any action to implement resolutions.

Though IBA is using one pending case in SC as an excuse to delay discussions on updation, UFBU itself is filing another case intentionally to further stall the discussions.

Often claiming fund shortage without disclosing cost.

Though the cost is a few hundred rupees per pensioner not taking up merger of DA issue for last two decades. Signing Special allowance settlement making pensioners lose a few lakhs of Rupees during their lifetime.

Majority of pensioners are expressing their resentment against UFBU on above issues.

I expected C H V would offer some explanation on these issues in his notice to CHV.

Shri Satyanarayana sir,

The views expressed by you is really touched my heart and we can resolve our issues through AIBEA only as it is powerful organisation among 9 UFBU.

Therefore it's better to resolve the issue between DS Murthy and CHV amicably ASAP as our issues are to be taken care of by them sympathetically as we were also members and active participants of this mighty organisation. 

Thanks and regards

What Shri Soma Sekhara has stated is 100% true. He has beautifully explained the present situation. Shri D S Murthy is one of the disenchanted pensioners who are facing an onslaught from IBA, with a UFBU side by side. Shri Murthy has stated the facts but the language used by him not correct.

Nevertheless the UFBU should do a soul search, as to the treatment meted out to the senior retirees, with IBA's patronage. Instead of sueing the hapless Shri Murthy the UFBU can set right the anomalies and do something to make the lives of retirees comfortable one.

[Harish Midha]

All the issues raised by Mr Sekhra are pending for several years now. The Unions/ associationS are supposed to look after the interests of employees/ authorised to discuss and try improve the benefits to retirees.

Does it even remotely appear that the unions/ associations can take a high moral ground for having justified their moral duties.

Issues raised by Mr Murti also on behalf of pensioners are all justified. Mother of demands - Pension updation not done since so many decades and our friend still suggesting for having patience.

Facts are known to everyone.Thousand if not lakhs of our friends have left for heavenly abode waiting for something good to happen. 

Like for example, I am 75+( MMG-2 pensioner)having taken vrs in 1994 ,am compelled to shell out my more than three months pension for taking mediclaim policy of IBA with max coverage and as mentioned and my wife suggesting from different ailments. Had to borrow money to pay premium.

Can CHV take a high moral ground and justify the act of COMMISSION by UFBU 

Steps may be taken to have the matter resolved and UFBU/AIBEA should take up serious steps for achieving the results and be transparent.

[Satyanarayana Rao]

Shri Somashekar ji.
At the outset I thank you for your enlightend and detailed information about UFBU totally ignoring the legal benefits which are due to retirees.
In every bipartite negotiations they UFBU add pension updation issue and ignore to pursue to achieve pension updation and continuously postpone the issue without giving any serious approach for achieving it.
This is known to all.
I completely endorse your voice that the AIBEA which is the architect of pension scheme under the able leadership of late com Tharakehvar Chakraborty signed the agreement facing stiff opposition with in the UFBU.
Red salute to him.
To day we don't have such gegantic leadership in any constituent members of UFBU.
Com CHV and AIBEA and all consultants of UFBU takes firm stand and threaten IBA that they will go on agitation if the demand of pension updation is not resolved the IBA and the government will succumb and sign the pension updation agreement.
Here comes who can force or influence the AIBEA leaders to plunge into serious approach to sign pension updation agreement?
Coming to social media views nobody has control.
Our target is to achieve retirees issues are resolved.
Making allegations and sarcastic comments against anybody will not bring justice to us.
Let us hope better sense and broad thinking and change in the attitude of UFBU will take place and achieve pension updation and put an end to this mudslinging coldwar between retirees and UFBU.
With regards to you and to Shri Veerbhadra swamy who expressed the kind words on my write up.

Dear Sirs/ Comrades,

Sub:- Blatant violation of signed agreement/settlement .

I’m reproducing hereunder the relevant portion of the agreement/settlement arrived at and signed by all of you on 8th March-2024:-

Minutes of discussions held between IBA and AIBEA, NCBE, BEFI,NOBW and INBEF.

Whereas a settlement has been arrived at on 8th March, 2024 on the charter of demands submitted by the unions and

Whereas some of the issues and demands raised by the unions could not be taken up for discussion and resolved, and

It is hereby agreed between the parties that the following issues and demands raised in the charter of demands shall be discussed further to reach a mutually acceptable and amicable resolution of the same within a maximum period of six months from hereof :-

No.2.  Updation of pension for past retirees .

Provisions to be made in the Pension Regulations to provide for periodical updation of pension along with wage revisions/ settlement/s. 

No.3:- Improvement of pension scheme.

No. 6:- Extending exgratia to pensioners of private banks.

No. 8:- Premium of medical insurance policy to be borne by banks. 

No.9:- Improvement in group medical insurance policy. 

No.11:- DA scheme for all pensioners to be at uniform index of 8088 points.

No.13:- Inclusion of Special Allowance for superannuation benefit .

These were the written and signed agreements/ settlements where all of you have put your signatures . As per your own agreement, an amicable settlement should have been reached with six months , means within 8th September-2024. Now would you please look at your calendar and see that you did nothing to implement even a single  one of the list during one year and one month ! Would you please offer your explanation for your deliberate failure to honour your own agreements ? If the retirees ask you this question , you get irritated and use abusive words. 

If the retirees feel that it was a sheer secret understanding between IBA and yourselves, then would it be wrong ?

You do not allow the retirees associations to negotiate on their issues but do yourselves,  a plan which might have been designed by IBA. May I remind you  that the retirees are not your members and you cannot represent them  ? 

 

Bank Employees pension scheme is the only and unique scheme in India, may be in the whole world where for payment of retiral benefits the employers  need not spend a single rupee. For getting pension, retirees  have built a robust fund which is ever escalating every year, touching now over Rs.4.57 lakh crore ! 

In the same country , pension is paid to central and state Govt employees from budgetary allocation, same way pension is paid to MLAs/MPs/ministers, judges , military personnel from exchequer and their pension is regularly updated along with wage revision or by raising hands . But for bank pensioners though banks will not have to spend anything from their profit & loss account , pension updation is not agreed due to only arrogance of power. 

You are requested to just calculate how much financial burden has been taken by the banks since 6th BPS to 12th BPS while the pension remained stationary during all these years since  inception of the scheme in 1993. Don’t you feel how you are failing to the retirees but you want them to silently accept your failure/ negligence without uttering a word . 

You are more interested in 5 day banking than settling the  pensioners burning issues which you undertook to resolve within September-2024 ! 

Very strangely, IBA’s senior advisor- HR& IR Mr Brajeshwar Sharma is citing all bogus and baseless arguments against pension updation case pending in Supreme Court even by an affidavit . He is functioning these days like above the CEO/ Dy CEO of IBA. He is advising the MDs of banks , interacting with DFS etc . But as  per his designation , he is only an advisor to IBA on HR & IR matters. CEO or Dy CEO should represent the IBA not the advisor. 

We observe that IBA holds periodic meetings with UFBU on so-called residual issues which do not include pension updation matter . 

Recently, we observed that two constituents of UFBU, viz AIBOA and NCBE came up supporting the pensioners’ issues but others are still silent. The reasons are best known to them. 

At the end, I leave it to your conscience and hope good senses will prevail upon you !!

Yours sincerely,

Biswanath Bandyopadhyay,

Retd DGM( personnel & HR),

Dear friends, 

I am not holding the brief for any one.  But, I request all those who finding virtues in what Mr.Sinivasa Murti Devalapalli to list the achievments or what he has worked during last two decades fo the benefit of Bank retirees, other than misguiding, misrepresenting or misleading Bank Pensioners and abusing UFBU, more particularly AIBEA/CHV.  It is upto him to defend and what he is stating is true, he need not fear.  It is not just the language, even facts are also untrue.  It is he who has to provide correct information to the Court and convince.  Writing in Social Media or supporting him in Social Media, does not help. 

Thanking you,

With regards,

Prasad C N

[Srinivasan Badri]

It is high time we stop fighting between comrades personally

Now unity is important 

 Ufbu itself appears disintegrated

They only have the right to negotiate with IBA and MO F including Retirees issues Even late Singla case is taken up by PNB OA

Affiliate of AIBOC a partner of UFBU

Aibea or its leaders can't alone negotiate with IBA

All units of UFBU should take up.

Because of Supreme court case being pending, the serving employees / officers unions are unable to hammer the Retirees issues as IBA quotes "subjudice".

Personal accusations of leaders should be avoided

How we Retirees can question about com. CH.V continuing asGS

of AIBEA.? He has been duly elected by members of AIBEA.

Let us close issues amicably
