Latest about pension updation

UNITED FORUM OF RESERVE BANK OFFICERS & EMPLOYEES issued a circular dated 28th April 2014 the para 2 of which states:
Bank took note of our concerns  and assured that Bank would be making endeavour to address those and protect the interests of employees and retirees, regarding fixation of pay for pension, “rationalization” of perks and perquisites, alignment with the banking sector including SBI  for compensation package with A+ position every five years following settlements there, appropriate amendment of RBI pension regulations etc.”
The circular does not detail anything further.

However,we understand from their sources that United forum has consented to the Bank’s following proposals.

1. Updation of pension every ten years:

2.Bank will extend one more pension option to those who did not opt for it earlier

3.Basic pension to be based on last drawn pay instead of average of TEN months’ last drawn pay.with appropriate Amendments to Pension Regulations.

4. Alignment with Banking Industry and SBI to retain A+ position.The wages shall be reviewed and revised in the context of the settlements in the Industry.
5.Rationalization of perks.

  • The Bank will now, as a reply to the Government’s  earlier letter give  its consent in principle. Appropriate approval from  the Central Board of Directors will also be sought in the matter. 

In short, RBI would recommend the above proposals to  MOF,  Govt. of India for their final approval. After the GOI  gives its assent , necessary instructions in the matter would be issued to the offices.
Those retirees  who  did not  opt for pension earlier  should be ready now with  money to  opt when  the bank invites them to do so.

  8. we are thankful and express our heartiest gratitude to the forum leaders.

  9. It appears nether the United Forum nor the Bank is seriously pursuing the Case.The Bank’s HRMD as well as the Governor as usual continue to give assurances in a progressively diluted form.It is almost 6 months we heard any thing .Any thing latest?
