'BANK NEWS'

UNION BANK RETIRED EMPLOYEES' ASSOCIATION

​Shri K.Ravi,
General Secretary.,
Union Bank Retired Staff Association,
Tamilnadu.

Friend,

Medical Insurance​

    I am referring to your e-communications with Shri M.K.Mundul, Jt. Gen. Sec. of our Maharashtra counter part. I substantially concur with all the views expressed therein.

    Certain portion from the Report placed by GS, AIBEA before its recent Rajkot CC is forwarded to you few minutes before. (Inadvertently I have wrongly typed "AIBRF" in the subject portion instead of correct "AIBEA"). 

    An abstract from that Report is reproduced here under.

"​
Unlimited reimbursement would available because the Rs. 100 crore buffer corpus is applicable to them
​ ​
(retirees) 
also
​"​
.
 
​    It means, retirees and their spouses will be also included in that Rs.100 crores corpus and may get reimbursement in cases of expenses beyond Rs.3/4 lacs in any year.

    However, when I touched this aspect with Shri C.N.Prasad, General Secretary, State Bank of Mysore Pensioners' Commune (HQ:Bangalore) during recent Indore CC of AIBRF​, he opined that in all (including dependent family members) the group medical insurance scheme of IBA will cover around 44 lacs lives. The corpus of Rs.100/- crores will be too low to meet with the requirements of all. 

    Anyhow, I am just sharing my views with you, Shri Mundul and others.

    With greetings,
Yours sincerely,
B.G.Raithatha,
General Secretary
