Today I received one message on my WhatsApp from one of my retired banker friend. I reproduce below the same for our members. Our seniors may guide us about further action to be taken in this regard.
*Supreme Court decision*
FOR INFORMATION OF ALL PENSIONERS
Forwarded as received:
Mr Dushyant Dave, President of Supreme Court Bar Association has said that all *21 Lawyers of the SCBA are ready to represent the Veterans in SC on* OROP Pro- Bono (Pro-Bono means without cost to the applicant)
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE IN RETIRED BANKERS GOOGLE BLOG
Dear friends,
It is surprising that a land mark judgement delivered by the Supreme Court of India on 01 07 2015, Civil Appeal no. 1123 of 2015 has gone unnoticed and except for a brief letter from Shri S R Sen Gupta to IBA, no other union has taken any steps. The salient features of the judgement:
1. The bench has authoritatively ruled that Pension is a right and the payment of it does not depend upon the discretion of the Government. Pension is governed by rules and a Government Servant coming within those rules is entitled to claim pension.
2. The judgement has recognised that the revision of pension and revision of pay scales are INSEPARABLE.
3. The bench has reiterated that on revision the Basic pension cannot be less than 50% of the Basic Pension in the minimum of the Pay Band in the revised scale corresponding to the pre-revised scale.
4. The government CANNOT take a plea of financial burden to deny legitimate dues of the pensioners.
5. The Government SHOULD AVOID unwarranted litigation and not to encourage any litigation for the sake of litigation.
6. When pension is upheld to be a right and NOT A BOUNTY, as a corollary to the averment that revision of pension and revision of pay scales are INSEPARABLE, upgradation of pension is also a RIGHT AND NOT A BOUNTY.
THE JUDGEMENT IS BASED ON THE DECISION ON D S NAKARA CASE.
The judgement is very clear and I wonder how no one has noticed the important aspects and why no one has taken up the matter with the Govt.
Why no one has reacted to the judgement is surprising and perplexing.
*Dear Pensioners!*
Forward this msg to a minimum of twenty people (non pensioners too as citizens of India) on your contact list; and in turn ask each of them to do likewise.
In three days, most people in India will have this message.

I am fed up with the mail. Repeatedly I have mentioned that the above letter was written by ME in 2015 in the blog and is in circulation for a long time. The case does not relate to bank employees, though found a place in the CBOA magazine. I wrote them to correct it, which the did not do.
The case was filed by some teachers in Rajasthan and decided in their favour.
Though it does not relate to us, the points reg pension are valid and it is really surprising no union has taken cognizance of it.

This is viral message in circulation since last three years and already the matter has been discussed in this forum. As you know, regarding updating of Pension several cases are pending in Supreme Court and yet to come up for hearing. The Retiree Associations will take appropriate action at the time of hearing.
The initiative by Mr. Dushmanta Dave is a welcome trend and any Pensioner can take the initiative based on his offer.
The fate of letter written by Mr. S R Sengupta to IBA must have lost its track due to their non-cooperative attitude and without persuasion.
In the record note dt. 25.05.2015, signed between IBA and UFBU the fate of Retirees are sealed, as because IBA has categorically mentioned that demand of Retirees can be examined as a welfare measure, as contractual relationship does not exist between banks and Retirees.
Referring to the repeated comparison of Pension scheme in Banks and Government Pensions, IBA has taken a stand that Government pension is budgetary allocation, but Banks Pension is funded scheme. The Bank is expected to ensure that adequate funding is made for payment of Pension /Family pension with provision for periodic updating of dearness relief.
Although, the Pension fund is growing every year and the expenditure is far below the interest accrued amount, yet the assessment of actual expenditure could not be done during the last three years, which can be construed as lack of interest by IBA & UFBU.
As the Retirees organisation, so far failed to derive negotiating relation with IBA, it is only UFBU or Supreme Court, who can bail out the Retirees from the present situation. When UFBU is keeping distance, the only hope is Supreme Court, which takes time.
However, the Retirees organisations are not leaving no stone unturned to find a solution to the problems.

This is a bogus message. This message has been circulating on Whatsapp
for years now and there is no thread of truth in it.Thanks to UFBU
the bankers are now a doomed community and there is no hope for them
from any corner, specially for the retirees.

Sri Ravi Mehraji I have reaceived this msg in whatsup several times and naturally forwarded to many groups known to me. This msg is circulating over three years. Also honourable SC judgement in D.S. Nakra case about pension updation in 2015 is public everywhere. But still I am surprised to note that no leader has commented on both situations.(Dave "s and Nakra case) I am unable to understand the silence of our leaders. Atleast they could have given their viewpoints on these. Atleast now they can enlighten general retiree members on these. Hope I have made my point sir. Wth regds.

Thanks for noticing my post and throwing light on the matter. I was not aware of the fact that this is an old message being recirculated time and again. But I still pray to God that our Union leaders take some positive steps to improve the pensioner's lot.
Regards,
Ravi Mehra
