[k.M & 15 vad 12 vDrwcj 2014 yzv 15, nze L 12 nes{ p o 2014 Vol. - 15, Issue : 12 October, 2014 Editorial .... Significant Developments have taken place during the last year The most important one is the smooth transition of Power at the Central Government through democratic process. A person from a humble beginning has been recognized by the electorate for his sincere and dedicated commitment to serve our countrymen. The policies announced by the New Government with its motto as ‘Minimum Government and Maximum Governance’ gives rise to our hope that our pension issues would be resolved in a just manner by our Bank adhering to our Constitution and the various judicial pronouncements of the Apex Court. The payment of our pension on our last drawn pay, as envisaged in our Pension Scheme and interpreted by the Apex Court in its Judgement dated 23-02-1989 does not require any judicial intervention. In keeping with the above announced policy, our Bank itself should be allowed to resolve our pension issues on the basis of its well justified proposal dated 30-102002 submitted to the Government for the payment of our pension at 50% of the last drawn actual pay to all eligible pensioners with a ceiling on pension at 50% of the average pay drawn during the last 12 months. This is the only right and just solution to our pension issues, as the present formula adopted on Sixth, Eight and Ninth Bipartite Pay Scales providing for payment of pension at 50% of pay to those retired in Award Staff and Officer Scale-l cadres and at 40% of the entire pay to those retired in Officers Cadres of Scale-ll and above is discriminatory and is in violation of .various judicial pronouncements, as vividly brought out by our Bank itself in its above proposal. Our seventh bipartite pension issue would also get automatically resolved with the payment of pension at 50% of the last drawn average pay. Let us hope that our pension issues get resolved by our Bank itself on the above basis soon. If, however, our Pension issues need to get resolved by a judicial verdict, we hope that this Government and all its machineries would extend all their co-operation for early judgements by the Courts. 2. Another important development is the appointment of Smt. Arundhati Bhattacharya, as the first women Chairman of our Bank on 9-10-2013 for a period of three years. We are fortunate to have her as the Chairman of our Bank, who is very well familiar with all our pension issues including our seventh bipartite pension issues. The new Government, we expect, would issue policy directives to the Bank managements and grant them autonomous powers for managing their own affairs.’ The Bank managements would then be responsible for resolving our pension issues in a just manner following the law of our land on the basis of its proposal dated 30-10-2002. Our Bank has categorically confirmed in its above proposal to the Government that it has the capacity to meet its obligations for the payment or pension at 50% of the last drawn pay to the growing universe of its employees. Our Bank should therefore act according to its above proposal. We hope that the present Government would not stand in the way of our Bank to act true to its conscience by giving equal treatment to all its retired employees including those retired as Officers in Scale-II and above in the payment of their pension.

The ongoing 10th Bipartite Negotiations have strengthened our hope for securing certain important improvements in our pension benefits. The discrimination caused in the payment of dearness relief to pre 1-11-2002 pensioners is expected to be removed and dearness relief with 100% neutralization would also be paid to them. The Industry Level Pension Regulations provide for the payment of dearness relief with 100% neutralization on the same basis as paid by Reserve Bank of India. The Reserve Bank of India is paying dearness relief to its pre 111-2002 pensioners with effect from 1-2-2005. On this basis, the pre 1-11-2002 pensioners of all member Banks of I.B.A should also be paid dearness relief with 100% neutralization with effect from 1-052005 on the same basis as paid to post 1-11-2002 pensioners of the Banks. This unjust discrimination caused in the payment of dearness relief should be soon put to an end. Another important and necessary improvement required to be made by the Banks is the revision of family pension at 30% of pay uniformly to all pensioners. This revision in family pension needs to be made on the same basis as paid by Reserve Bank of India. NABARD has also recently adopted the same basis followed by Reserve Bank of India and enhanced the family pension to its pensioners at 30% of the last drawn pay. n?;aphankJha g?AB;Boi w/b norms, the Banks require substantial funds of more than Rs.3 lac crores to be mobilized before 2018. The Banks do face more challenges now particularly on maintaining their profitability and net interest margin and on managing and controlling their Non-Performing Assets. These challenges are now being faced by the Banks. There will be more challenges before the Banks in future as well. The global economy is bound to get exposed to unexpected setbacks and trade cycles, despite all the mechanism to control and anticipate them. But these challenges need to be successfully faced by our banking sector with their inherent strength. These challenges should not-how ever deprive banks’ employees their real wages. The Bank employees need to be assured of adequate means for meeting their life time sustenance needs. The salary scales and pension paid by the Government are substantially more than what is paid by the Banks as salary and pension. This disparity in the payment of salary and pension among the Government and Banks’ employees and pensioners has increased significantly from 1997 onwards on implementation of the recommendations of the Fifth and Sixth Pay Commissions. The Government cannot take a position that it only has the capacity to pay to its employees and pensioners and the Banks do not have such capacities, when the Banks have grown in all areas since 1997. The present approach of the Government and I.B.A is totally negative in taking care of the ageing needs of the Banks’ Pensioners. The present pension of a Chairman of a Bank retired before 1997 amounting to about Rs.24,000/- per month is less than the present pension paid to a retired senior clerk. Instead of denying this important facility to the Banks’ Pensioners, all concerned do well to approach this issue with care, concern and compassion required to be shown to the aged Banks’ pensioners, who retired receiving very meagre retirement benefits and very low pension. If there is a will, there is a way to meet the pension updation requirements of Banks’ pensioners. Let us hope that the ongoing 10th Bipartite Negotiations would address this important issue. The following quotation from Sir Winston Churchill is better remembered now. These improvements should be made by I.B.A even before the conclusion of the 10th Bipartite Wage Settlement on the basis of the built in provisions of the Industry Level Pension Regulations for the payment of dearness relief and family pension on the basis of the position obtaining in R.B.I. In any case, we can reasonably expect that the 10th bipartite wage settlement would provide for the above two improvements. 4. The most important and necessary improvement by way of updation of pension on every revision of salary scales is required to be extended to the Bank pensioners on the lines of the updation of pension granted by the Government, one of the objections against this improvement to Banks’ Pensioners is that the Government is paying its pension from its budgetary allocations, whereas the Banks will have to meet their commitments in this regard from their income. The Banks are required to meet the provision requirements under AS-15 Norms and provide for their pension liabilities. Further, for meeting the capital requirements under Basel-lll “Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer lives are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give In the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.” Courtesy : Elders' Voice, August 2014 issue 2 Visit us on www.sbipensionerschd.com ,l-ch-vkbZ- iSa'kutZ+Z esy S.B.I. PENSIONERS’ MAIL (October-2014) FEDERATION FILES TWO INTERLOCUTORY APPLICATIONS SEEKING EARLY DISPOSAL OF OUR CASE HOUSING LOAN TO STAFF One of the provisions of the Individual Housing Loan Scheme, which was devised with a view to enable the employees and officers to avail the Loan facilities for residential houses, was the extended period of repayment after retirement. But this facility is not available to those officers who joined the Bank after 1.1.1991. This was the condition prescribed at the time of overhauling of the Individual Housing Loan Scheme. Our members are aware that there has been an inordinate delay in the matter of disposal of writ petition filed by the Federation seeking various improvements in the Pension Scheme applicable to State Bank of India. We filed the writ petition under article 32 before the Supreme Court in the year 2011 for eariy resolution of the issue pending for a long time. However, the Supreme Court after a detailed hearing transferred the case to the Delhi High Court en 27 2.2013 with the following orders. 2 The circumstances under which such a condition was prescribed have undergone lot of changes and the Government now considers Housing activity as a priority area. In order to give fillip to the individual housing loans and enable people to own their own residential accommodation, this restrictive provision needs to be reviewed and similar facility needs to be extended to post 01.01.1991 officers also, more so when there is no logic or rationale for such a restriction. ‘Since the pleadings are complete and the matter is pending before this Court for the last one and half years we deem it proper to transfer the writ petition papers to Delhi High Court and request the learned Chief Justice to assign the writ petition before a Bench of his choice for early disposal of the matter, at any rate within the outer limit of six months from the date of receipt of the records” 3 Now the Bank has permitted employees and officers to avail a second Housing loan. Apart from the above, under the Individual Housing loan an officer is permitted to avail Housing loan even in the last month of his retirement, the only stipulation being recovery of at least one instalment before retirement. When that is the case, such officers will be unable to carry over the Housing loan till the age of 75; as such officers have to immediately pay back the loan on retirement. Then the purpose of availing the Housing before retirement or the 2nd Housing loan gets defeated, and the facility extended by the Bank gets nullified. However, the litigation prolonged and the final hearing for which our entire membership was awaiting did not take place. In the meantime, a writ petition which was pending before JharkhandCourtwas also transferred and linked to our case thereby resulting in further delay in the d’sposa! of our case. The next hearing in our case is now posted on 25th September 2014. tt is in this background, ths Federation has filed interlocutory app’lcafion before the Delhi High Court urging them to delink the Jharkhand Court Case and advance the date for next hearing for final disposal of the ease. The Federation has also filed another Interlocutory Application before the Supreme Court referring to these developments and seeking their directions as follows:(i) Altow this application; (ii) Issue directions for hearing the W.P 1875/2013 at Hon’ble Delhi High Court (W.P. 184/2011 transferred from the Hon’ble Court) without clubbing with or hearing together with any other W.Ps transferred to Hon’ble Delhi High Court etc....... in case this Hon’ble Court orders the transfer of the W.Ps covered by the above T.Ps to Hon’ble Delhi High Court. (iii) Not to post any other writ petition along with W.P 1875/ 2013 of Delhi High Court for hearing and adjudication: (iv) Issue an appropriate order to Hon’ble Delhi High Court to hear, adjudicate upon and to dispose of W.P. 1875/ 2013 of Delhi High Court separately and independently and; (v) Pass such other order or further order as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case. n?;aphankJha g?AB;Boi w/b 4 It is also important to note that the repayment of the loan is now extended from 70 years to 75 years to the public, for the simple reason that construction cost has become exorbitant and instalment of the loan would be substantial if the repayment period remains the same. It is in this background, that we have been receiving representations from our members across the country in respect of such restrictions. Since the provision of housing is one of the basic necessities of life, and since the life expectancy has gone up, as per the report of ;he actuaries themselves and as the repayment capacity of the people is also enhanced, with most of the Spouses working or the children being well placed, we request you to please remove the restriction and extend the facility to all the officers irrespective of any cut-off date. This will also ensure that the loan portfolio of the Bank also does not diminish. The facility would go a long way in motivating our officers who have joined after 01.01.1991. Apart from the above extending the facility to all would also not have any cost implication to the Bank. In view of the above, please extend the facility of repayment to all officers irrespective of any cutoff iate. Please treat the matter as urgent. We do expect certain favourable response to these applications. We shall keep members advised of further developments. Letter No. 6528/46/2014 dt. 4-7-2014 of G.S.

TALKING RIGHT ***** Spiritual Master KAITY CAMA’S advice for those in governance Many people teach communication skills these days, but there is one form of communication that is much stronger than the spoken or written word. This is nonverbal communication. It is absolutely independent of the intellect and if harnessed correctly could bring us rich rewards. communication is the winning factor that can make all the difference to successful negotiations, with benefits to all concerned. Very often, what we speak is not from our heart. As spiritual beings, each of us can easily ‘pick up’ the sincerity or non sincerity of another, however slight it may be, and the physical part of us tends to withdraw from the other person. ‘Something’ tells us there is something not quite right about this negotiation or association. What the world calls ESP is our original thinking as spiritual beings. In the spiritual context, non local communication takes us straight to our Source from where thoughts and ideas originate. It is like a ‘iodine’ that we share with our Source, Infinite Intelligence, or God Almighty. In the mundane context, non local 5 Visit us on www.sbipensionerschd.com ,l-ch-vkbZ- iSa'kutZ+Z esy S.B.I. PENSIONERS’ MAIL (October-2014) Nonlocal communication needs no words. It just has to emanate from the heart for another to sense it. Marriages could be saved if more importance is given to non local communication, than to words like ‘I love you’. If we do our work with loyalty, discretion and sincerity towards the organisation that is paying us, not for the sake of the salary but for the success of the entire organisation, it is then, and only then, that we as individuals can be successful. n?;aphankJha g?AB;Boi w/b orbit of self to the orbit of the whole, without going through the intervening circumstances or incidents. The simplest way of taking such quantum leaps in consciousness is to put our little ‘i’ aside, take a genuine interest in the bigger picture, and automatically the little ‘i’ gets aligned with the Universal I. When we think with our hearts, our spoken and written words become softer, gentler and kinder. In actual face-to-face encounters, it helps to remember that every emotion has a smell which is picked up perhaps consciously by an astute individual or at an unconscious level by another. We ‘strike’ a chord which gives us back a similar ‘chord’ from the other person. So, the more we align our thoughts and ideas to our spiritual ideal, the more our little 'i' will merge with the Universal 'I'. When we do things only for ourselves, we really are on our own and isolate ourselves from the flow of Universal Energy. When we do things from our hearts for the entire ‘whole’, the forces of the universe help us — in our daily lives and for our soul growth. Nonlocal communication is instant. There’s no persuasion in words, no conflict of interests. There is just a ‘quantum leap* in consciousness, from the Courtesy : Speaking Tree, a Time of India publication vki dkSu gSa\ vkSj ;gka D;ksa gSa\ ;s tkus fcuk thou dk dksbZ vFkZ ugha R R R R R R R R R R R gj O;fDr nqfu;k dks cnyus dh ckr djrk gS] ysfdu [kqn dks cnyus ds ckjs esa u dksbZ lksprk gS] u gh dne c<+krk gSA nqfu;k esa ftrus yksx gSa mrus gh fnekx gksaxsA mlh rjg ls ftrus fny gksrs gSa mrus gh izdkj ds I;kj Hkh gksrs gSaA dSlk eglwl dj jgs gSa] ;s fdlh nwljs dks crkuk vklku Hkh gS vkSj t:jh HkhA tks tSlk gS vki mls oSls gh I;kj djrs gSaA fdlh dks I;kj djus ds fy, mUgsa cnyus dh dksf'k'k u djsaA euq"; ds nks lcls rkdroj vkStkj gSa&/S;Z vkSj le;A cs'kd vki fdlh ds lkFk cqjk O;ogkj dj ysa] ysfdu dHkh >wB ;k /ks[kk u nsaA vxj gj O;fDr vius fo'okl dh yM+kbZ yM+uh 'kq: dj nsxk rks nqfu;k eas dksbZ dHkh tax ugha gksxhA fdlh iq:"k ds fy, le>nkj efgyk dk lkFk feyus ls T;knk t:jh dqN ugha gSA tc NksVs NksVs cnyko fn[kus yxrs gSa rHkh vki lp dh ftanxh thus yxrs gSaA tc rd ge fdlh dks I;kj ugha djrs ml oDr rd gekjk thou uhjl gksrk gSA le>nkjh dh ckrsa cksfj;r Hkjh gksrh gS] ysfdu mruh gh dke dh HkhA R R R R R R R R R R R lp cksyuk eqf'dy gksrk gS] ,slk djus esa ;qok vDlj foQy gks tkrs gSaA [kqf'k;ksa ls Hkjiwj ifjokjksa dh [kqf'k;ka ,d tSlh gksrh gSaA ysfdu nq[kh ifjokjksa dk nq[k fcYdqy vyx gksrk gSA ftanxh dHkh :drh ugha gS vkSj vkidks thou thuk gh iM+rk gSA fdlh O;fDr dks dke vkSj I;kj djuk vkrk gS rks og ftanxh dks [kwclwjr vankt esa thus ds yk;d cuk nsxkA ogh O;fDr yM+kbZ thr ldrk gS ftlus yM+kus thrus dh Bku yh gksA dHkh ,d iy ds fy, Hkh [kqn dks] [kqn ij 'kd djus dh gtktr ugha nsuh pkfg,A dksbZ ljgn ;k ljdkjh fn'kk funsZ'k vkidks nwljs yksxksa ds lkFk feyus ;k tqM+us ds fy, jksd ugha ldrk gSA vkidh [kqf'k;ka ckgjh nqfu;koh phtksa ij fuHkZj ugha djrh gS] ysfdu vki phtksa dks fdl rjg ns[krs gSa bl ij fuHkZj djrh gSA I;kj ds lkFk gh phtksa dks le>us dh rkdr feyrh gSA nwljksa ds fy, thus ls thou esa [kqf'k;ka Hkj tkrh gSaA rLohj dks QkbZuy Vp nsus ds fy, isaVj dks jks'kuh dh t:jr iM+rh gSA mlh rjhds ls ftanxh dk etk mBkus ds fy, van:uh jks'kuh dh t:jr iM+rh gSA 6 Visit us on www.sbipensionerschd.com ,l-ch-vkbZ- iSa'kutZ+Z esy S.B.I.
