Minutes of the 5th Grievances Redressal Cell Meeting on 09.08.2014
We furnish overleaf for your information the text of the Minutes of the 5th
Grievances Redressal Cell Meeting held at Bengaluru on 9th August 2014. Minutes
are self explanatory.
One of the important challenges retirees face in general is age-related ailments. It
has been our considered view that retired employees of our bank are to be
adequately covered by medical insurance, even if contributory in nature. While we
find that there is forward movement in our bank with regard to Group Mediclaim
Insurance (Floater) Policy for the benefit of retirees, we need to pursue the same
with appropriate authorities in the days to come.
We are happy that as a sequel to our discussion in the Grievances Redressal Cell
Meeting, quite a good number of individual grievances, more particularly, those
falling under the jurisdiction of recently formed Circle Offices were resolved
satisfactorily. Our retired colleagues will please note that some of our pending
demands have been referred to the respective functional wings for their views so
as to enable the administration to take decisions. Many of our pending demands
and appeals are justified from our point of view. Nevertheless, the approach of
the management to the longstanding grievances of retirees such as, Death Relief,
Festival Advance etc. needs more positive and benevolent orientation for
effectively addressing these concerns.
Friends! at the industry level, in course of time, core demands of pensioners such
as Pension Updation, 100% Neutralisation of DR, Improvement in Family Pension,
another pension option to compulsorily retired and resigned employees who were
denied the same earlier, Uniform Hospitalisation Scheme to retirees etc., are likely
to be achieved and in our Bank, we shall continue to strive for making the best of
the rest of our lives a reality.
With Greetings,
Yours Sincerely,
(S.V.Srinivasan)
General Secretary
