Pension and Issues of Retirees: Pension improvement and issues relating to retirees were taken up and it was felt desirable to discuss the same in another meeting jointly when Officers Associations are also present since these are common issues.

HRA: There was a lot of discussion on the need for Banks to provide accommodation/ quarters to all clerical and subordinate staff and in the absence of the same to substantially improve HRA. Issue relating to provision of quarters in Project Areas, Special Economic Zones, etc, were also taken up. It was decided to discuss these issues further after finalizing the total financial cost since improvement in HRA would involve additional cost.

Voluntary Cessation: Issue of providing an opportunity to represent against the final orders of the management and entitlement for pension benefits for such employees was discussed to arrive at a mutually acceptable decision.

Stagnation Increment: Demand for additional stagnation increment and reduction in periodicity was discussed and the issue would be discussed further after working out the financial implication.

Next Meeting: The next round of meeting will be held on 14.11.2017 when there would be further discussions on our Charter of Demands.

GOD ALONE CAN SAVE RETIREES NOT BY UNION OR ASSO.
