AIIPA MEETS LIC CHAIRMAN

   

A delegation of AIIPA met Current-in-Charge Shri D.K. Mehrotra and others at Central Office, Mumbai. The delegation conveyed the resent and the disappointment of LIC pensioners over non-resolution of their genuine issues for such a long time and insisted the LIC officials finding a way to get the issues resolved without any delay.

Stressing on the issue of increase in ex-gratia for the pre-1986 retirees, AIIPA also  reminded them of the advanced age of the pensioners and told that the delay in decision-taking has already deprived scores of pensioners of their legitimate benefits and that any further delay in finding solutions would only add to the number of deprived pensioners.

 AIIPA conveyed its displeasure that even on issues such as increase in quantum of ex-gratia paid to the pre-1986 retirees where the Government's approval or notification was not required, no decision was forthcoming and the retirees who are already above the age of 86 are finding it financially difficult with the pittance of the amount of ex-gratia fixed 15 years back and wanted immediate decision on increase in the quantum.

Shri Mehrotra replied that the management recognized the past services and contributions of the pensioners to the institution and could also understand the feelings of the pensioners and said that efforts were being made continuously for getting solutions to some of these issues, if not all.

Cashless medical treatment  -  AIIPA wanted the facility of cashless medical treatment throughout the country and also financial assistance to LIC pensioners for high cost treatment to be considered by LIC.  The officials informed that some scheme for cashless medical treatment in select centres and in select hospitals to start with, is under consideration and depending on its experience, the same may be extended to other places.  They further told the delegation that creation of a Welfare Fund for the pensioners for providing financial assistance for High Cost medical treatment over and above the eligible Group Medi-claim amount is also under consideration by LIC.  They assured of their early decision on these issues.

AIIPA also met Smt. Aruna Seth, Secretary and pursued some of the issues like resignation to be considered as VRS for purposes of sanction of pension as has been ordered by  Supreme Court and recovery of premium for Group Medi-claim Scheme from the pension, etc.

LEGAL BATTLE: CRUCIAL MONTHS AHEAD !

confusion...

I’m receiving anxious enquiries from LIC pensioners…

They all want to know

what’s  the present position of the petitions

pending in the High Court

and the Supreme Court.

I try to explain.  But all my pleadings are of no avail. 

Our pensioner-brethrens are all restless.

They want to have immediate result.  But no significant

result is forthcoming….

The latest position is this.

THERE IS A CONTEMPT PETITION PENDING IN RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT.

But, as long as the whole matter is pending in Supreme Court, we need not expect any significant development to take place in the High Court.

 

NEXT COMES THE CONTEMPT PETITION FILED IN THE SUPREME COURT.

It is understood, this contempt petition emanates from the fact that LIC has failed to deposit the amount Court had asked them to pay or deposit to the Court Registry.  The court itself will interpret its own orders in this matter.  Let us wait and see.

The all important legal battle will be waged in the Court in the case of Special Leave Petition filed by LIC.  It was last listed on 7^th February 2012 and there are no further developments.

Let us wait patiently.  There will be clear developments in this matter within a couple of months.

.....THE BALL IS IN THE SUPREME COURT !

LIFE INSURANCE CORPORATION OF INDIA is an autonomous body.



Supreme Court

The Board of Life Insurance Corporation of India has passed a Resolution proposing certain changes in the Pension Rules. It has also resolved that these changes would be implemented with the approval of Government of India.

Government never approved these proposals.

Rajasthan High Court was moved.

It was argued, Government could interfere with a decision of the Corporation.  But it chose not to interfere.  No directive was ever given against the Board resolution.

LIC being an autonomous body, it could have implemented its own Resolution. 

But there were clear hurdles.  Pension Scheme was implemented in the Corporation through a Government Notification dated 28-6-1995.  Can the Corporation bring about changes on its own now without a Notification being issued by Government of India (GOI). 

Rajasthan High Court order would suggest, LIC could implement its Board Resolution.  But LIC thinks that Government approval is required.

Government of India has joined the issue in the Supreme Court.  Government counsel will appear in the Supreme Court today for the first time.

Now let us wait for Supreme Court developments !

Contempt Petition in Supreme Court

SUPREME COURT will take up Contempt Petition today.  We will wait to see what transpires in the Court.

A version of the earlier Supreme Court proceedings is as given below:-

 

Sri Salve requested the Bench to see that Union of India advises LIC to implement the orders.

The Bench asked Sri Salve the exact amount.

Sri Salve mentioned that the figure is not readily available.

The Bench then asked him the amount stated in LIC Board Resolution.

When Sri Salve replied it was around Rs 52 crores, Bench immediately ordered Sri Salve to ensure LIC deposits that amount within 3 weeks from today in Jaipur HC.

SC Bench then told the parties that SLP will be pursued after expiry of that period.

As per this version, Supreme Court has asked LIC to deposit a minimum of Rs.52 crores in the Court whereas LIC has deposited only Rs.4.35 lakhs.

The order finally passed by the Bench, however, did  not specify the exact amount to be deposited.  It merely notes that the “amount due to the employees” should be deposited.

It is hoped we will get some clarity in this matter.
