UNLAWFUL DENIAL OF 2nd OPTION
TO JOIN PENSION SCHEME TO BANKOFFICERS WHO VOLUNTARILY RETIRED UNDER OFFICERS’
SERVICE REGULATIONS,1979
Respected Sir,
At the outset I express my deep regards and sincere thanks for getting the
captioned matter thoroughlyexamined by your Department in a time-bound manner as
assured by your good self when I met you last on 22nd May, 2012. It
is most satisfying that after due deliberations your office has also concluded
that IBA’sinstructions to Member Banks vide their letter No. CIR/HR&IR/G2/665/90/2010-11/999
dated August 10, 2010 were contrary to the approval of the Government so far as
the offer of 2nd option of pension to retired bank officers was
concerned.

As a
remedial measure your instructions to IBAvide DO letter No.10/30/7/2010-IR dated
25th July,2012 were, indeed very loud and clear advising them to
withdraw the words“on superannuation ” as contained in their Circular dated 10th
Aug.,2010 to PSBs but unfortunately IBA has not complied with your instructions
so far. Meanwhile, as you may be aware thatin a recent common Judgment dated 30th
Aug.,2012 in respect of several Petitions, theHon’ble Karnataka High Court has
also vindicated our stand and held that those who took VRS under OSRs,1979
arealso eligible for 2nd option of pension as per the Joint Note
dated 27th April,2010.However, despite this landmark Judgment and a
follow up DO letter dated 26th Sept.,2012 from your office
reiterating your earlier instructions, IBA is yet toissue revised instructions
to Banks in this regard. What more legal direction or administrative order is
required by IBA, to act is beyond anybody’s imagination?
In view
of the above circumstances, I earnestly request your immediateinterventionto
direct the Chairman,IBA at your personal level to resolve thisissue in a time
bound manner as most of the aggrievedOfficers are Senior Citizens (some are even
74 yrs old)who are desperately waiting to avail their legitimate Pension during
their lifetimes. We, the affected officers shall always remain indebted to you,
Sir.
With
High Regards,
Yours sincerely,

Dear Sir,
Ref : Arbitrary Denial of one more option for pension to a section of Bank
Employees who are/were in employment as on 29/09/1995 caused due to mischief
played by officials of Indian Banks Association.
1. My
letter dated 30/08/2012 addressed to you appears to be still under your active
consideration even after elapse of 2 months. The matter relates to my complaint
given to Minister of Finance on 27/04/2012.
2. In
the meanwhile I have now been informed by Sri Manishkumar, CPIO in Ministry
of Finance, DFS vide his letter No. F 15/149/2012-IR dated 28/09/2012 that my
complaint dated 14/05/2012 addressed to President of India has also been
forwarded to you by the consultant to Minister of Finance. DFS under the cover
of letter No. F10/30/IG/2012-IR dated 17/09/2012 with a specific direction to
you to take appropriate action at your end furnish suitable reply to me (the
representationist).
3. I am
enclosing herewith a copy of above letter F No. 15/149/2012-IR dated 28/09/2012

that in this country, Indian Banks Association alone enjoys a privilege of
throwing any communication to dustbin received not only from ordinary citizens
but also from senior officials of Govt. of India.
4. Now
because of specific directions given to you under copy to me by the consultant
of Ministry of Finance vide his letter dated 17/09/2012, I hereby demand, as a
matter of respect to the senior officials of Govt. of India, a suitable reply
from you to my representation dated 14/05/2012 addressed to President of India

know what action has been taken by IBA on the letter dated 26/09/2012 addressed
to them by Department of Financial Services, Ministry of Finance. I am unable
to wait for your reply for months together due to my poor health. I hereby wish
to inform you that I would be at liberty to report back to the present Minister
of Finance and to President of India if I do not receive any reply from you
before 09/11/2012.
Thanking you,
