Dear Mr Debasish Mukherjee,
The same old message(manipulated) you have forwarded now, has appeared under this blog also several times, posted by some members.
Reply too have given on actual position of the message,at that time.
Still it is found forwarded and hence,I am furnishing in detail on the grievance and manipulated version for information of all,those who were not aware of real fact behind the above message taking round in social media.
01.At the outset let me tell you that this is not an original message from PMO.
It is a manipulated version of a complaint made by one Mr.A.A.Vydya, to PMO,on 16.05.221.
02.His grievance was on pension updation /family pension etc.
( It us needless to furnish details here)
03.The above complaint was closed by PMO
on 20.05.2021 itself with following remarks:
(which has not shown in above forwarded message)
"
Remarks( of PMO)
"Pension is a funded scheme in Public Sector Banks and was introduced in lieu of the Contributory Provident Fund on the basis of consensus arrived at between bank Unions Associations and IBA on behalf of participating banks. Accordingly, bank Boards framed Employees Persion Regulations. Which were notified under the provisions of the Banking Companies Acquisition and Transfer of Undertakings Acts of 1970 and 1980. Pension is payable as per the agreement arrived at between bank Unions Associations and the banks."
04.Matter is over there with clear reply of PMO.
There is provision in grievance page on rating remarks with comments of complainant
Here Mr Vaidya. added as below;
"
"Rating Remarks"
"THE ABOVE FORMULA IS NOT APPLICABLE TO SEE THE PENSION FUNDS WERE UTILIZED BY BANKS INCLUDING SBI LAST YEAR TO SETTLE NPA YOUR APPROACH IS VERY COMMERCIAL AND NOT EXPECTED BY PM OR GOVERNMENT OF INDIA'"
05.So it is crystal clear here, that the version of Mr Vaidya's 'rating remarks' in his grievance page has been manipulated, to appear as if it is an original message from Prime Ministers Office.!
06.This is an example of misinformation in the name of PMO,to mislead retirees.!
07.Funny side is if little bit common sense is applied, it could be observed that PMO office will never send such a reply to any individual on pension fund of SBI, when his grievance is on some thing else,for which he has already got a reply too.
From the fake /manipulated /misinformed messages appear under social media/occasionally under this forum also, in the name of bank pensioners, we too may be surprised to
observe that whether such people were really working in banks in higher position for long years!!
