SHRI KISHORE WRITES, "ALWAYS IT IS DESIRABLE WE MEET TOP MANAGEMENT
AND DISCUSS OUR PENDING ISSUES.
" IT IS LIKE A CARAVAN MARCH FOR PENSIONERS & SOME LIGHT WILL COME AT
THE END OF THE TUNNEL HOPEFULLY." -ED.
DEAR FRIENDS,
- 1) I CONGRATULATED SRI S.B.MAINAK, MG.DIRECTOR, LIC WHEN I SPOKE TO HIM THIS MORNING.
- 2) I CONVEYED AS TOP TEAM OF LIC,THEIR VISION & MISSION FOR A BRIGHT LIC WITH PLANS & GOALS IN PLACE TO SURGE AHEAD & NOT ONLY TO CONTINUE AS MARKET LEADER BUT TO MAKE A POWERFUL DENT IN TOTAL PREMIUM AND TO FULFIL FM'S BUDGET ASPIRATIONS TO COVER ENTIRE INDIA WITH 1 POLICY IN EACH POCKET FOR VISION 2020 TO BE FULFILLED FOR WHICH 300 MINI OFFICES WERE OPENED BY FM RECENTLY.
- 3) I REQUESTED THAT FULLEST EMPATHY IS NEEDED TO BE BESTOWED ON POOR PENSIONERS WHOSE PLIGHT HAS GALLOPED AFTER CONTINUED INFLATION WITH FRUITS,VEGETABLES, FOODGRAINS SKYROCKETING. I PLEADED THAT IF HE LENDS HIS WEIGHT TO GRANT OF DOMICILIARY ON SAME SCALE AS THAT FOR EMPLOYEES RS2000--8000 PA, THAT WILL GIVE GOOD SHAPE TO CRITICAL HEALTH FACTOR FOR PENSIONERS AS CONSULTATION FEE, SPECIAL REPORTS, MEDICINES, PILLS, INJECTIONS ARE PROHIBITIVE & IT EATS AWAY A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF SMALL PENSION MANY RECEIVE. HE APPEARED TO APPRECIATE THIS POINT.
- 4) I INFORMED THAT RECENTLY LIC ALLOWED MONTHLY RS 1000 EXTRA FOR EX-GRATIA RETIREES & THIS IS A VERY PALTRY AMOUNT, I ADDED, IN THE CONTEXT OF SOME BANKS AND RBI ALLOWING MANY REVISIONS & SUBSTANTIAL RS.3500-RS.6000 PM AS MONTHLY MEDICAL ALLOWANCE. MORE SO WHEN THE TRIBE HAS VIRTUALLY DIMINISHED SO FAST FROM 5500 TO A MERE 950, IT WAS SHOCKING SUCH A MEASLY BENEFIT WAS PROVIDED,WHEN GIANTS LIKE FORMER ESTEEMED LIC CHAIRMAN SRI J MATHAN GET SUCH POOR RS. 300 + DR ALL THESE YEARS.
- 5) I TOLD HIM THAT GOOD PROFESSIONAL HELP HE ALWAYS GAVE ME AS AN INVESTMENT EXPERT WHEN I WAS NOMINEE DIRECTOR IN SOME COMPANIES WHILE IN SZ, EZ AND SC ZONE.
GREETINGS,
