PENSION UPDATION MOVEMENT GAINING MOMENTUM

• All of us, pensioners of LIC, banks etc. are sailing in the same boat, with the same or similar problems in regard to pension updation, dearness relief, family pension etc.  
• It is commendable that bank retirees are resorting to clarion call (reproduced below for drawing /for inviting attention of LIC Cadre in particular) second time in a short span of two months to address/to redress their unsolved issues by the apathetic authorities. 
• The GOI has exhibited its empathy and sympathy towards all  its pensioners and in particular, the very senior citizens of 80 and above pensioners by recognising the need and giving 20% to 100% additional  pension over and above the notionally fixed/ revised pension on certain norms. However, the persons in power get cold feet when they are approached by the pensioners of LIC, banks. 
• The denial of 100% neutralisation of dearness relief only to the old and needy pre November/ August 2002 pensioners is the worst of denials. It is a known fact that the pensioners of RBI achieved their demand of 100% neutralization of D.R. five-and-half years back in March 2008, and retrospectively from 1^st February, 2005, from the date from which serving employees of banks, etc. got.  The family pensioners of RBI are getting 30% of basic pension from Jan.2013 and the employees are eligible to get full pension after rendering 20 years of service.
