We have been advised by the Joint Conveners of

CBPRO (Confederation of Bank Pensioners &

Retirees Organisation) Sh. Ramesh Babu,

Federation General Secretary of SBI Pensioners

and K.V. Acharya regarding the above mentioned

Dharna in respect of our below mentioned demands

and the latest developments which relates to mainly

imlementation of 100% D.A. neutralisation to pre-

2002 retirees, non updation of pensions and

improvements in family pension and urging Banks

to bear the entire medical insurance premium cost

as extended to serving employees and officers.

Our call for demonstrative action programmes as

mentioned in the circular evoked lot of enthusiasm

among the membership and Delhi State unit of

CBPRO started with right earnest preparation for

the centralized Dharna at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi

on 15th March, 2017 by holding meetings and

obtaining required permission from the authorities.

Meanwhile we also further activated our meetings

and interactions with the concerned authorities like

IBA, top Ministry Officials and conciliation

proceedings in the office of Deputy Chief Labour

Commissioner, Mumbai.

Our delegation to IBA had a full scale meeting with

the Chief Executive of IBA and his team of Senior

Officials on 15.02.2017 as per our programme. It

Dharna Programme at Jantar Manter, Delhi - DeferredEditorial....

was a cordial meeting where the issues were

discussed in detail and the Chief Executive IBA

conveyed to us their positive and pro-active

concern in regard to all the issues of the Pensioners

and Retirees and the requirement of the necessary

response from the members of the Management

Committee of IBA and as well as from the Finance

Ministry in respect of our issues which will help in

materialising our requests.

Immediately after the meeting with IBA, we met

the top officials of the Finance Ministry on

21.02.2017 seeking their required intervention in

regard to the resolution of our issues. We are

encouraged by their positive response indicating

to us that they have started looking at the issues

again after the hectic demonetization and Central

Government Budget exercise.

We again par ticipated in the conciliation

proceedings on 28.02.2017 at Mumbai. The

respected Assistant Labour Commissioner after

receiving inputs from us and endorsement of our

views by AIBOC in the earlier proceedings on

24.01.2017 and observations of IBA

representatives during the proceedings on

28.02.2017 advised to us that in view of the ongoing

conciliation proceedings we should avoid agitational

actions. We also suggested that IBA should come

out with acceptable proposals as per provisions of

settlements and Pension Regulations in respect of

the issues raised by us.

In the light of above, CBPRO is seeing some

positive and favourable signals from the IBA and

the Government, we are confident that the

membership will appreciate the decision to defer

the centralized Dharna at Jantar Mantar New Delhi

earlier scheduled for 15th March, 2017. We also

assure you that we will use all the resources and

connections of our constituents to clinch the issues

at the earliest by fur ther augmenting our

interactions with the Ministry and IBA. We are also

thankful to UFBU for having taken up the issues of

Pensioners and Retirees in their negotiations,

Charter of Demands and in their Action

Programmes.

Comrades, we repeat that we have only Deferred

our Dharna programme at Jantar Mantar, New

Delhi scheduled for 15.03.2017 to seize the

opportunity of the positive headway we have made

very recently which should result in the resolution

of our issues.
