Long Live our Federation of SBI Pensioners

Comrades,

It was a red letter day in the history of our

SBI Pensioners throughout the country as the 90%

of the Adhoc payment of the arrears to the 5th,

6th & 7th Bipartite settlement were started from

15.07.2017 onwards and would continue to be paid

to the pensioners upto 31.07.2017 as advised by

our federation. We are very happy to announce

that after a hard fought negotiations with the Bank's

Apex level authorities, this achievement could be

possible and we have been continuously apprising

our members throughout the struggle period. We

are also thankful to all the members of SBI

Pensioners Association for their support and

patience. It was a team effort to get this demand

approved by the Govt. of India and our thanks to

the worthy Chairman of our Bank for keeping her

promise to release the arrears in the month of

July, 2017. As a mater of fact, the arrears could

only be paid when the E.C.B. at Corporate Office

and the Government had to be cleared by them.

Since this procedure could not be completed, as

such the 90% of the arrears in the form of Adhoc

payment has been released. Congratulations to all

the members and specially to the affected

members who have got handsome payment and

10% would be released on the completion of the

above mentioned formalities. I once again reiterate

that all the affected members are pre 31.10.2002

retirees.

We were always optimistic about the

captioned development and had apprised this in

our July pensioners mail. Comrades, this is not

the end of the road and our struggle for our other

demands i.e. payment of 50% pension at the last

drawn scale, not at the starting scale of the retired

members. The next day of our hearing of Writ No.

1875/2013 is scheduled to be heard on 11.08.2017

at Delhi High Court. We assure you that the day is

not far off when our this justified demand is acceded

to by the Court/Govt. and the management of our

Bank. It is only a matter of time. We do hope when

you receive our copy of Pensioners' Mail for August,

2017, something would be known to you in a

positive response from the Court. Let us hope and

pray that our this demand is also fulfilled in very

short time.

Regarding our demand of 100% D.A.

neutralization of Pre-2002 retirees, Family pension

at 30% of pay, updation of our pension and the

medical insurance premiums of all the pensioners

should be paid by the Bank is also in the progress.

The talks with the Govt. and IBA by our CBPRO

are already under way and we do hope that the

sooner this demand is also accepted.

Dear Comrades, it has been decided in our

Executive Committee Meeting that the pensioners,

who have got arrears/Adhoc payment of more than

Rs.1 lac , are requested to donate a meagre
