Bank Pensioners Latest News : Forum of Bank Pensioner Activists A Big Question

 Bank Pensioners Latest News : Forum of Bank Pensioner Activists A Big Question

फोरम आफ बैंक पेंशनर एक्टिविस्टस्

Forum of Bank Pensioner Activists

PRAYAGRAJ

कामये दु:खताप्तानां प्राणिनाम् आर्तिनाशनम् ।

TO ALL ACTIVISTS:

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

A Big Question, hunts us all Retirees, CAN WE make a change or achieve!. Our humble opinion is: let us be optimistic and take all challenges with positive mind. If we do this, it's our half victory.

We are united or fragmented, take it just as mind set, not to be boggled at, but surmounted. We are first Retiree or Pensioner as one race. We have very common identity, cause & purpose to achieve.

Think about it, how to make ourselves as reckoning force. It's necessary. We have done a lot ground work, created awareness among ourselves and now we see people coming forward to support us vehemently. Now, we need to think beyond this and move forward. New Delhi is epicenter of political power of Nation. Let us make New Delhi as our Action Center.

Now we need to finalize the ISSUES on which we have to work and focus:

1. Pension Revision as in RBI:

It's all time strategy to link our Pension related issues with RBI Pension Scheme. It's boon for us, we need not to deviate from it. Pension Agreement dated 29.10.1993 is a legal document which connects all terms including revision to RBI Pension Rules & Regulations. Cl.12 of Agreement is speaking one.

2. No discrimination in DA Scheme, whether neutralization, percentage or periodicity. One industry-wide one compensation Policy, as held by highest court of the land. D.A. is a compensation of price rise. If it is 100% neutralization on quarterly average for working people, it can't be under 100% and six monthly average for retirees.

3. Health Insurance from Welfare Funds as envisaged vide DFS letter dated 24.2.2012. Banks must comply with Govt directive. There must be equal right to Retirees in WFs spending.

4. Proper implementation of SCI judgement in 1616/1684 case & Payment of difference of pension & commutation arrears along with 9% interest, as awarded in judgement.

5. Inclusion of Special Allowance for superannuation benefits like Pension, Gratuity etc. from 1.11.2012.

On these vital issues of common interest of Pensioners, some centralized and united mass action has been necessary to focus our issues, but due to Covid 19, to obtain necessary permission has been a difficult task. However, Sri R. S. Sharma, has been able to obtain permission to sit on Dharana. He is Secretary, AIBRWA & Patron of Mission Kuber- New Delhi.

We appeal all New Delhi based Pensioners/ Activists, whether in some Groups or Unions or lone to rise above all their considerations & affiliations to join & support Dharana on both days to make it grand success. It will be their voluntary noble contribution to entire fraternity. Participants may contact Sri RS Sharma on his mob. no.9213616253 for more informations.

Venue:

Union Bank of India,

Zonal Office

Main Entrance ( ground floor), Connectus Building,

Airport Metro Express( Metro Rail)Lane,Ajmeri Gate,New Delhi -110001

Timings:

10.00 A.M. to 5.00 P.M.

On 8th & 9th October, 2020

( Thursday and Friday)

We know, Pensioners out of New Delhi shall not be in a position to join this program due to Covid-19. Hence all such Pensioners, from across the country, irrespective of their affiliations & status may please express their solidarity through Mail. We shall be sending a draft of solidarity to be mailed on 8/9th Oct. These mail messages will strengthen our legal action, if we initiate at any point of time.

Hope, it receives gigantic support & participation by entire pensioner fraternity. If not physical then by communiquer!

Greetings,

( J. N. Shukla)

      Sub : Enhancement of minimum pension under EPS 1995 , reg .

          --------------------------------

Respected sir , 

  With all great respect to your kindself , i submit my grieviences related to my basic livilihood maintenance cost  with the pension of EPS 1995 seeking justice from the hon'ble supreme court .

     Having served the company/ board / corporation / public sector unit  ----------- -------------------for --------    years  ,   I get the pension of Rs.-------- only . And Iam facing the untold  hardships with dependancy on others in my advanced age  in the present cost of living with medical expenses of old age illnesses . 

The hon'ble govt of India with untenable reasons  is not yet inclined and not ready to enhance the minimum pension to a  reasonable level with D A as being sought  by all pensioners that comes not less than Rs 10000 being average cost of living across the nation , although it can do with it's discretionary powers with the articles of Indian constitution for maintenance of life of senior citizens .  

Majority of these pensioners are poor who need immediate relief  of enhancement of minimum pension to Rs 9000 with dearance allowance so as to meet the present cost of livilihood .

    Therefore it is my request to your good self that while hearing the cases of review petition and SLP petition filed by EPFO and the hon'ble govt of India respectively against EPS 95 pension cases tagged together , the issue of hike of minimum pension , mainly concerned to majority of EPS 95 pensioners , may kindly be taken into consideration for justice along with the cases of eligiblity of pensioners of  exempted companies /corporations  and higher pension on actual wages .

   IN ViEW  OF  OUR ADVANCED AGE FACTOR , WORSENED CONDITIONS  OF  LIVILIHOOD IN DESPAIR , AND  DEPENDANCY AND  INDIGNITY  OF  HUMAN LIFE ,THE HONBLE  SUPREME COURT MAY KINDLY RENDER THE  JUSTICE  with the directions to the hon'ble central govt for our welfare in order that WE HAVE A LIVEABLE PENSION OF MINIMUM  STANDARD  WITH  DEARANCE ALLOWANCE  , IN  CONSISTENT  WITH  RIGHT  TO LIVE  UNDER ARTICLE  21 OF THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION .

    With high regards 

    Your sincerely

EPFO Should Stop Foul Play : Matter of 65 Lakh EPS 95 Pensioners/PF pensioners

 EPFO Should Stop Foul Play : Matter of 65 Lakh EPS 95 Pensioners/PF pensioners

The Apex judiciary has reminded the administrators umpteen times that pension is a deferred wage and is the right of workmen. The attempt of Central government in particular to demolish the Pension scheme, run by EPFO through the contributions received from the workmen, was severely criticized by Supreme Court. In spite of this, mentioning the name of court, Central Labour Ministry and EPFO are fighting to the last resort to deny the pension benefits.    

Since more than 10 years, PF pensioners are knocking at the doors of various High Courts in the country and the Supreme Court for justice.  Majority of the PF pensioners are not even getting Rs.1000 as monthly pension. Most of the pensioners are getting lesser amount than their welfare pension.  The authorities are presently trying to sabotage the justice granted to them. 

Pensioners have the right to receive pension proportionate to their salary and the amendment proposing restrictions, brought out in 2014 was set aside by Kerala High Court Division Bench on 20th Oct.2018. As per the amendment effective from 1st Sept.2014, it was proposed that those who received pensionable salary exceeding Rs.15000 per month would be disqualified and the right to exercise option won’t be available henceforth.  When judgments started coming from various High Courts saying that EPFO has no right to impose a cut off for exercising option and consideration a portion of salary only for pension as injustice, EPFO has hastily notified the amendments illegally.

HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY (NAGPUR BENCH) Judgment Extracts

 HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY (NAGPUR BENCH) Judgment Extracts

LD-VC-CW-665 OF 2020

Date of Reserving the Judgment: 13th August, 2020

Date of Pronouncing the Judgment: 20th August, 2020

Extracts:

14. The Bank is a trustee of the account of the pensioners, like the petitioner, and has no authority in the eyes of law to dispute the entitlement of the pension payable to the employees, other than those in the employment of the Bank. To tamper with such account and effect the recovery of pension without any authority, is nothing but a breach of trust of the petitioner by the Bank. We should not be understood to have said that even where there is technical error in calculation, other than of entitlement, is committed resulting in excess payment, the Bank cannot recover it. We have already held that no such case is made out here.

OPEN LETTER TO:
HON'BLE PRIME MINISTER:
Sri Narendra Modi Ji,
Hon'ble Prime Minister,
Govt of India
New Delhi
narendramodi1234@gmail.com
privateoffice@govmu.org

"Sometimes in recent past, he was Premier of country for 10 consecutive years, apparently looking calm & composed, what were the pains in him, never surfaced, none knew that, neither he could express nor he wept out.

Take it as outrageous behaviour of time; one not in a position to reveal his own story. Strange is this, the God did write his story from a pen dipped in his tears. His life is a lesson to those who weep in hide out to keep covered the hurts at their heart, pagale! it's a land of stones, here none is yours."

Having recalled an instance, perforce, above in mind- pinjare ke panchhi re, tera dard n janey koe- and heart filled with emotions. There is difference, in passed off yesterday and running present. Yesterday, he was doing the same with others and now others repatriate the same.

Problems of Pensioners, in last 6/7 years, made us run to knock the doors of countless people at the helm of affairs like His Excellency Presidents of India, Vice Presidents, Speakers, Lok Sabha, Dy Chairmen, Rajya Sabha, Governors of States, Hon'ble Prime Ministers, His Lordships of Supreme Court of India, Cabinet Ministers. In addition, we called on many eminent Parliamentarians. Few of them responded, while others remained onlookers.

We felt, it's the system of governance that country has, wherein every governments, ministers, bureaucrats, politicians etc talk of common people, but voice of same common people rendered futile, breaths last in a corner of time. Indian politicians, as trained professionals, use the same common people to reap the votes to gain powers and once it is attained, idiot common men are dropped in some side lane pits or dustbins. And, the common men see it, hear, understand, tolerate, forget and continue to flow with time wave. It's the fate of rolling stones, which have no count.

In this continuation, we saw all limits blown up, when we learnt from most reliable source that our Hon'ble Prime Minister don't give cognizance to Hon'ble Former Prime Minister letters, not even acknowledged by a Under Secretary level official of PMO. Government is government. After independence the pattern of governance, whatever was adopted, that still continues. Prime Ministers are changed, but not the governance patterns, that's the same what was established right from Nehru the great to great Man Mohan Singh.
