A three-day meeting of All India Bank Retirees Federation (AIBRF) is going on. It started on January 10 and will continue till January 12. In this meeting, many issues related to the demands of bank retirees/pensioners are being discussed.

National level officials are also participating in this meeting and giving guidance. On Thursday also many officials addressed and many topics were discussed. The main demand of the organization is pension updation. Bank retirees/pensioners say that our struggle will continue until this demand is fulfilled.
It is notable that the efforts of the organization have resulted in increase in family pension, 100 percent DA benefit to all old eligible pensioners and increase in ex-gratia to pre-1986 pensioners.
In this meeting, all the pending issues related to retirees/pensioners, especially the oldest and important demand “Pension Updation” and affordable health insurance policy are being discussed in detail. Along with this, future outline and further action is being decided.
The organization has been agitating and making efforts for the demand of pension updation for many years. Efforts are being made to approve pension updation to all bank pensioners on the lines of pension updation approved to RBI pensioners in March 2019.
In this regard, top officials of the organization have personally submitted a detailed memorandum to the President and the Finance Minister. Memorandums have also been submitted to all the Parliament members of the country through various state units. Continuous efforts are also being made through talks with IBA/RBI and related government departments.
This is the largest organization of bank retirees/pensioners at the national level and has about 2.50 lakh retired members. The organization takes up all issues/demands related to retirees/pensioners with IBA/RBI, various concerned government departments for appropriate resolution and continuously strives to resolve their demands through necessary action programmes.
The organization periodically organizes online or physical meetings of its National Executive at various places in the country. In the same sequence, this time a three-day meeting was held on 10, 11 and 12 January at Jal Auditorium, Indore.
Apart from the organization’s National President Sharad Deshpande and National General Secretary Sharbat Chand Jain, more than 150 officials and executive members of various banks from all over the country are participating in the meeting.
Nothing new has been achieved , DA which was withheld since 2002 has now been released without arrears. Regarding 1986 release a handful of retirees are alive to avail such .
Pension has not been updated for nearly 30 years is ONLY our demand . Is the Central Govt, the Honble PM & FM listening. The story would be incomplete if the saga of the black Sheep of retirees is not mentioned.
So our retired community with folded hand request all relevant to consider the Updation of Pension more so before Ram Lala ascends it’s throne on 22nd. Instant.
Jai Hind & Jai Sriram.
Thankful for the Representatives
