Dear Shri Somasekhara,
                                   I completely agree with you. The relevent case may not be directly linked to us, but it has definitely established a quotable 'precedent' for future negotiations regarding updation of pension. Let us hope for the best.

Of course there is no legal angle. No bank board passed such resolution and no provision made in pension regulations. However if it is implemented in LIC and SBI retirees also make some positive progress in their legal battle for up dation a favorable atmosphere
will be created for UFBU to demand for the same in banks also.

fact, I personally does not  know from legal angle. I never cared to

Almost every body (not sure), I think, know about that no bank board
has approved to extend such LIC benefit to bank retirees. Regarding
IBA, I clearly mentioned that "let us hope the IBA will react" that's
all. It is hope only. So you need not take any pains to understand
regarding IBAs probable stand with our probable hope. Take it easy.

Dear sirs,
I endorse the views of Mr.Sikander Gulati. If Mr.Prasad's view on the LIC case is not palatable to a few, then they should give a counter view based on sound reasons. Instead, a few bare their teeth and bully Mr.Prasad. This is not the way the Forum to discuss matters related to poor pensioners.
In the past, elders of these geniuses misguided lacs of people and now, after exit also they want to do their treacherous acts by indulging in personal acrimony to enrage the readers against Mr.Prasad by falsifying/fabricating and attributing vile motives to his views.
If a person like Mr.Prasad is not allowed to air his views, I feel that the loss will be only for the Blog and its Readers and in no way Mr.Prasad is going to lose anything.
I request every right minded reader to register his protest by sending a mail to the Moderator.

Dear friends,
Mr Karunkaran duraisamy latest missive to Mr. Prasaid CN  is intriguing. I understand  my friend samy is not able to understand that Mr. Prasad will have no personal interest in the dissemination of logical information. Mr. Samy I wish you best of luck. But Whatever Mr. Prasad had mailed to which you have written on the blog, I would like to say Mr. Prasad is 100% correct. If you have cute knowledge of law, we will  be happy to support you. But LIC case is no where, that   the bank pensioners should feel happy. See reasoning. Think at least once before you write something. After all we are  all friends.  Courts are not puppets in our hands that some times some of  my friends start sending emotional mails about courts judicial activism..
I am no body to curtail ones freedom of expression and am here to extend friendly advice.
It is again any body's sweet will to accept that advice or not. Mr. Duraisamy you are free to approach the courts, no body is going to prevent.  But we stand by the explanation of Mr. Prasad with regard to LIC case & others. He does not write without any base. You take the inititative rather than encouraging others  to move courts or expect something good from courts in the light of LIC case.. Let us see some good results from you, as you are the votary of legal action or court case.
But moral policing is the best in the interest of bank pensioners.

Mr.Prasad,

I can understand that your stomach burns after the court is turning
the heat on LIC.  I can also understand your feeling that such a
situation should not come to PSU bank also.

When Bank retirees  are looking something  positive  in the LIC case,
you are the only person who does not see anything positive.  May be
because, you are  well acquainted  with the MDs and Super senior Union
leaders and you are well aware that IBA  cannot do anything since none
of the Bank Boards have passed any resolution to approve such benefit
to the Bank employees with the connivance Dear of your Union leaders.

It also shows that LIC Unions are more capable and a little pro
employee  than  your Hopeless Bank Unions.

We bank pensioners beleive that atleast the Courts can accept our
argument that a similar institution like LIC of India can update the
pension to the employees, why not the PSU banks.

Mr.Prasad,  please allow the poor bank pensioners also have some
rightful benefit.  Don't try to be a stumbling block. Let not your
dreams come true.

Your comments "Mr.Prasad,  please allow the poor bank pensioners also have some

Your curse "Let not your dreams come true" is the height of your stupidity.

There is another joke in your mail. You have signed the mail as "Karunakaran (for the Bank retirees)". Could you please name the Bank retirees you are representing?

sir,
"We bank pensioners beleive that atleast the Courts can accept our

one of friend has commented above. if it would been so easy for courts to understand such phrases we would have received pension updation by now as there are good no of intelligents in retiree group and are fighting in different courts. we bank pensioners cannot and should not beleive in such  type of acceptance by courts.
Mr. prasad gives good / factual arguments but for sake of downgrading few of us without solid comments write against him.
in courts we will have to face much-2-2-2....... more arguments by opposition in court cases without any sympathy and it will not be easy to win updation in courts easily.
updation thru union is most favourable course of action in present scenirio.
be happy

Dear Friends,
A very piquant situation has been created by one of our friends Mr. Duraisamy. I do not know about his past comments about the unions. But,  the samy should read  on the wall, the pain among the pensioner friends.  He might  have retired AGM/DGM/GM/ED or whatever, that does not matter for all of us. Now he is a pensioner like us. Respect begets respect.
I am following the blog and reading  the pain writ large among the friends, one such from Mr. Suresh Bhat & others. It appears the person(Mr. Samy) has more egos that what he should have  and he should  practice it  with his near and dear ones instead of unknown friends who are always ready to give him respect.
But going by the tone and tenor of his expressions of ill mannered views, I appeal to my fellow friends to stop acknowledging/ responding to his blogs. Let him abuse/ say any thing to us for  the satisfaction of his egos.  Let him feel the heat also for his egos!

Again my earnest appeal to friends, please "STOP RESPONDING'' to his mails whether good or bad  till he comes round to deal with pensioners friends with respect and humility. That is all.
 My special appeal to Mr. C.N. Parsad to please remain calm and  not to respond further  in case of any adverse comments from Mr. Duraisamy. Same is for Perumal ji & other friends.

Good luck & health  Mr. Duraisamy

Best regards to everybody.

Dear Sir,

                    The views expressed by you on illegality of pension is perfectly in order and this does not mean that u are interested in taking away the benefits already given and the arguments are to be seen correct perspective. It is most unfortunate for everything some start blaming the unions. The union leaders derive their strength from the cadres and with plethora of problems of serving employees at hand enough attention cannot be paid to the retirees. The court cases are long drawn out and there is no way out with the negative attitude of the govt and IBA. one thing is to be borne in mind that govt employees did not  get those benefits just by wishing. As u have rightly pointed out that they have to wait for thirty years to get the benefits even when courts have given a favourable judgement.

Dear Friends,

     There was a music competition in our bank.   Many competitors were there.  The songs sung by them were different and some sang well. Some sang very well ! Some others sang very mediocrally! A few sang badly! Only one competitor sang it so badly that everyone in the hall started laughing but some could not help laughing loudly! Some more burst into laughter !!   So let us all laugh it off !   This blog is so wonderful that we are all participating differently ! Some information is helpful, some not. Some letters provocative and some letters are praiseworthy!  Let us all interact positively.   Since this blog is open to all, it is but natural that different members sentiments are expressed!
Be HAPPY and continue to laugh for better HEALTH!!!

Dear Shri Karunakaran,
                                 You may please agree with me that we should develop a habit of listening to other views even at our home. The way you reacted to Shri Pasad's comments is not desirable at all. Like everybody Shri Prasad has his own way of presentation and it may not be liked you and others. That doesn't mean one should use abusive language to counter Shri Prasad's write-up in  this blog.
                                 I agree with you with your write-up"We bank pensioners beleive that atleast the Courts can accept our argument that a similar institution like LIC of India can update the pension to the employees, why not the PSU banks" . But the problem is -- who will approach the court of law in this regard? I am almost sure that you don't expect "hopeless" unions to do it nor you will take personal initiative in this regard. I assure you that as and when you will take personal initiative in this regard, I will be with you.
                                 Let us differ with decency and decorum.
                                 Hope, I have not hurt you.

Dear Prasad,

                            You may well stop responding to criticisms of some pensioners and others and continue to pursue the good work regardless of these

Rhetoric. People should understand that you also will be one of the beneficiaries if updation and 100% DA neutralization. The arguments made by you are hard realities and these should not be construed that you are against second optees of pension. A saying comes to mind

Dear Nanda,
Please inform me any of the bank unions/assns had demanded the updation of the pension on the lines of central govt.before RBI/LIC employees had done so.Unless you demand how can you expect the IBA/BANKS to  offer updation on their own.Please furnish the agitations/fights made by the employees unions/assns reg updation of the pension from 1995 onwards.Even When the pension was brought down to 42% in 1998 nobody said a word which was signed by the unions/assns and IBA.We too were in service and we too kept mum(Includes ME also).Now time has come.Usually Banks,LICI and RBI settle their wage settlement during the same period and hike will be of same percentage with minor alterations.Now the LIC pensioners have succeded in getting court order in their favour and I wish them all the best in Supreme Court.If they get updation it will be a wakeup call for all of us Retirees and serving employees of the banks to make united fight for implementaion of updation of pension in banks.Let all of us  think in a positive mood fight in right spirit.

Dear Friends,
Mr. Prasad is absolutely right ! Both RBI and LICI boards had decided on updation of pension
 but reversed/did not act because of govt. intervention.
Both the governing boards of RBI and LICI are autonomous and
 are empowered to take independent decisions without Govt. advise
 except for matters of public interest. Whereas PSU Bank Boards have 
many bosses, as we know.
We are discussing LICI case to know if updation of pension is justified
and also to see how far the management can go to deny 
right of retirees,even after clear court verdicts.
Thanks.

It is very good news relating to retired LIC employees.

So, by 9.1.2012, every thing is likely to be cleared and the retirees
may get arrears right from 1986 onwards.

Let us hope the IBA will react positively at least after the above

sir,
The badly sung song made persons happy because the singer did not hurt anybody's personal ego. here on seeing some critics /seeing some negative views against our case of updation or other,  some people immedietly respond negatively with personal remaks against other person, which is not of good taste. Refrain from such activity and give some concrete proof /arguments.
be happy

Dear Friends,

Instead of engaging in unnecessary verbal duel let us do something constructive for the retired banking community. We are unnecessarily dwelling on the past misdeeds of managements, IBA, union leadership, etc etc and wasting our time.  

Can anybody inform the present position of the SLP filed by the BOB management in Supreme Court against the HC division bench order for retrospective payment of arrears and commutation from date of retirement for pre-2002 retirees.

Parasuraman you are correct
We do not know the fate of SLP regarding chennai High court order and also verdict delivered bu Karnataka High court against several banks on 21.04.2011.
As per IBA pensioners issues are pending with Central Government for approval.
Since IBA and Unions may not be interested in getting it cleared early I request
all retirees associations should meet finance minister and submit a memorandum to clear the pending issues early and also convince him to implement court orders without going for unnecessary appeals.
This will have two advantages.
One is that it will speed up process and things will be cleared early.
Second is that if FM is adamant and not prepared to agree to our demands we
can apprroach the courts early instead of waiting for approval from Govt for years.

Dear Sirs,
Please read and just see whether we retired bankers can do something for our pension? One news, I did cut and paste as follows.
...............Early Compulsory Retirement for IAS/IPS/IFS Officers?

THE Government seems to be seriously considering the process of weeding out unwanted officers. At present as per Rule 16(3) of the All India Services (DCRB) Rules, an IAS/IPS/IFS officer can be compulsorily retired after completing thirty years of service or attains fifty years of age. There is a similar Rule 56(j) for other Central Civil Services. This was mainly used to weed out corrupt officers the easy way as the officers are sent out with full State honours like pension, gratuity and all other benefits and it is not really considered a punishment. But in the last twenty five years or so, perhaps as corruption has come to be accepted as a legitimate fringe benefit of Government service, these provisions were rarely used. Anyway, it is not fair for a corrupt officer to compulsorily retire another corrupt officer - each one owes it to the other in the tribe to protect the collective interest. This was implemented when the senior officers used to be fairly honest - not now, when the highest officers are well known to be corrupt.

Now, the Government proposes to amend the Rules for intensive review and it is proposed to have the power to compulsorily retire after 15 years of service instead of 30 as at present.

Rule 16(3), at present reads as:

The Central Government may, in consultation with the State Government concerned and after giving a member of the Service at least three months previous notice in writing, or three months' pay and allowances in lieu of such notice require that member to retire in public interest from service on the date on which such member completes thirty years of qualifying service or attains fifty years of age or on any date thereafter to be specified in the notice.

It is proposed to amend the rule as:

The Central Government may, in consultation with the State Government concerned and after giving a member of the Service at least three months previous notice in writing, or three months' pay and allowances in lieu of such notice require that member to retire in public interest from service on the date on which such member completes fifteen years of qualifying service or attains fifty years of age or on any date thereafter to be specified in the notice.

The prematurely retired officers will be eligible for pension benefits. The DOPT has written to the Chief Secretaries of all States for the comments of the State Government.

DOPT Letter No. 25013/02/2005-Cus., Dated: November 28,2011

This is sent by me for your kind information.with regards.

.Dear Natarajan,
If the LIC of India retirees succeed in their just cause of getting updation of pension it will be a stepping stone for others like bank retirees/RBI retirees to fight for extending the same benefit to them by getting mamagement for passing board resolution/Govt order or
some other legal manner.Nobody is under the impression that immediately we will get updation.For that both serving and retired employees of banks and RBI have to fight both at the IBA/GOVT level and if necessary in courts.As you are aware that SBI retirees have already filed a suit in court.likewise Non SBI employees should take up the matter in right earnest without giving room to who is right or who is wrong.If our retirees assn/union are ready to fight for that I am prepared to contribute fianancially my share for legal expenses. for this" NOBLE CAUSE".I am eagerally waiting for a call from my LEADERS.Will you help us,
Thanking you in anticipation for a favourable reply from all our leaders

MR PRASAD IS RIGHT THAT NO BANK BOARD HAS PASSED ANY RESOLUTION FOR PENSION UPDATION.  IT IS HIGH TIME THE SERVING EMPLOYEES FEDERATIONS SHOULD REPRESENT TO THE BANK BOARDS TO PASS SIMILAR RESOLUTION AND UNDERTAKE AN AGIATION IF THE BANK BOARDS ARE UNWILLING.  THE FEDERATIONS MUST REALISE THAT EVERY BANK WORKER WILL RETIRE ONE DAY AND THAT THEY WILL GET ENHANCED PENSION EVERYTIME THERE IS SALARY REVISION.  WHETHER THE FEDERATIONS WILL BRING PRESSURE ON BANK MANAGEMENTS?

Dear Friends,
Mr. Prasad is absolutely right ! Both RBI and LICI boards had decided on updation of pension
 but reversed/did not act because of govt. intervention.
Both the governing boards of RBI and LICI are autonomous and
 are empowered to take independent decisions without Govt. advise
 except for matters of public interest. Whereas PSU Bank Boards have 
many bosses, as we know.
We are discussing LICI case to know if updation of pension is justified
and also to see how far the management can go to deny 
right of retirees,even after clear court verdicts.
Thanks.

Dear friends,

LIC case has no relevance to Bank retirees.  The Case is completely on a different footing Time given to LIC does not mean that the case is going to be decided on 9th January.

Please go through the Judgement of LIC case again and every one will understand that LIC case is all about payment of benefit approved by LIC board.  Not even a single bank's board has approved/extended any such benefit.  I do not understand what IBA would draw out of this case. 
 
Thanks, a Million.

Dear Sir,

It is very good news relating to retired LIC employees.

So, by 9.1.2012, every thing is likely to be cleared and the retirees
may get arrears right from 1986 onwards.

Let us hope the IBA will react positively at least after the above
case and come forward to update our pension without depending on lame
excuses.

Dear Friends

Very Well said Sh Rajagopalan - No one is doing any good, by indulging into unwanted criticism
/ sercastic remarks, other than creating bitterness / avoidable reactions from other forum
members, thereby also deviating from the subject which are more relevant to us today. This
only helps our opponents (viz managements) who never want the pensioners united.

Let us all utilise this forum more subjectively either by sharing valuable information or
contributing to the extent of suggesting/advising fellow members on a very +ive note - I feel,
we all have braved enough of negativity / aggression during our long span of service in our
respective bank's but now such feelings/utterences are only going to harm we retirees' badly
in every field of our life.

Most of us are senior citizens, though young by heart, AND must endevour to work for Retirees'
unity and their benefits, unlike different components of UFBU and also try to aspire for a
peaceful retired life and not spoil health NOTWITHSTANDING THE FACT THAT CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE
MOSTLY BEEN AGAINST US.

Wishes

Dear Sri Perumal garu,

1. In the Civil Appeal No.1942/2009 Bank of India Vs K.Mohandas, Supreme
Court has awarded landmark judgement of 5 Years notional weightage .  

In the above related case, the lower court ie. Division Bench of Karnataka High Court has also ordered for the revision of Basic Pension right from the date of retirement also and that to pay the same with interest from the date of the judgment pronounced by the Hon'ble Division Bench.  Any pending review petition ?   Kindly inform the latest position if you have any. I, being one of the petitioners along with my few friends, desire to know the latest position in this regard.
 Thanks and Regards.
