Dear friends,

The most expected time has come, and  our case is now sent for listing on 12th Sep,2012 and we were informed by our Cousels that all the formalities are over and we may get our date of trial within 3 months. The battle is almost over and we are in the final stages. 

What next?

We all should get together and fight the case with all our might and strength to match the Government and the management. Yes friends, we are facing a very mighty and powerful opponent.  We should match them in all fields especially in the appointment of Advocate/Advocates. For this, we should have the financial strength since the fees charged by the Senior Counsels are exorbitant.  Hence we all should shed our differences and join the fight led by NISVRREA by joining our Assn and contributing for the Legal fund. The time is too short and every one of our SVR optees should contact NISVRREA through E Mail or contact the following numbers over phone to join the Association. Our Email ID is gokul_van@yahoo.co.in and the numbers to be contacted are given below: 

V.A.Nagarajan General Secretary - 09444321613 

Dr.E.Rajagopalan Joint Secretary - 09840787850

We also met CEO of GIPSA on 11th of September 2012, and discussed with him all the pending points including the case with which we have clearly emphasised that we are the only litigants and any thing concerned with the case should be discussed only with us. Also we stressed the point of one more option for pension in the industry and other problems faced by the Retirees on Mediclaim reimbursement. 

The talks went on a positive note and we were adviced to make the same representation to the individual Companies. 

Last but not the least we again APPEAL to all the existing members to contact the SVR optees who did not join us to join now and take this final opportunity to participate in the fight for justice and pay the dues of subscription including the present request for the second additional legal fund of Rs. 1000/- and also donate liberally for the Association to fight the case. JUSTICE NEVER FAILS. 

with regards

Dear friends,
We have come almost to the final stages of our case being heard by Sup.court. The case again came up before the Registrar on 9th May and it is again adjourned to July. Since it is vacation from 11th till July. we will get the adjourned date only later.  We will inform you once we get the same. In the meanwhile I should share some more information about the case so that pensioners who see the website and get the news updated should know the development. We have another friend from Kolkata whose case is tagged with us have not done any thing but tagging it and after waiting for some time we started doing their job and progressed to the extent of 80% and followed up with the service of notice to the Petitioners and Respondents. There are also some notices returned by our petitioners to be reserved or otherwise we should take further steps legally. Out team has gone to Kolkata and mumbai to do the same and almost succeeded in putting the ball rolling.
We are visiting Bangalore and also delhi to sort out the problems. You all should know that we have no role to play and it is for the court to do the serving business. Still we take it on our head and doing it so as to finish the formalities.
we expect the formalities will be over by July. and the case may come up for listing.
let us be patient and hear some good news.

dear friends,

Any job done with sincerety and patience will fetch good result and we have been doing the same in our Association. Thanks for the good support given by all of you.

We have got our long standing demand of one more option for the Retirees who has left our Staff mediclaim to join, is now accepted. and the circular for the same has been sent to all the offices across india.

Let us give you the details of it.

Now all those retirees who has gone out of the scheme either by default or voluntarily, can now join the scheme with their spouse and also the spouse of the deceased.

Increase or decrease of coverage of premium is also allowed in NIC (circular Issued)

But you can also approach the other companies since the fresh option is given to join, it is implied that the existing members can increase or decrease the coverage.

The above decision was preceded by our meeting the National Chairman and we also thanked the Chairman GIPSA at Chennai on 19th Jan. and he has assured us to meet in May'12.

We met the chairman National on 12th March at KOlkata and discussed the issues pending with them and he agreed to consider the same. We met Shri Brahma GM personal the same day and demanded Nimbs RBS payment and re opening of Benefit Member enrolment to Retirees. We gave representation to the Secretary NIMBS Shri Senapathy and he agreed to examine our demand.

We are taking sincere steps and we are sure we will succeed if not today, tomorrow.

We have got the full details of the Respondents whose notice is pending in different High courts. We are also following up the matter and trying to get them served so that in April we will get our case sent for listing.

National insurance company has loaded the medical premium by 90% and also allowed increase or decrease of coverage. We are also contacting the other Head offices to follow the same. We are also insisting the GIPSA to give one more option for the Retirees to come into the Staff Mediclaim scheme. We hope to get a favorable response.

We will be visiting the Head office of National insurance co.ltd during March and trying to get back the facility of Benefit Member in the Natinsure Mutual Benefit Society for the Retirees.

We have asked for an appointment with the Chairman GIPSA and waiting for his consent to discuss the problems faced by Retirees.

dear friends,

Sorry for the delay in updating the news and it is purely because of some personal work. I again apologize for the delay.

Our case came up before the Supreme court on 16th December and again adjourned to 27th of Jan 2012 for want of completing the formalities. We got worried since there is nothing pending from our side and all our petitions were transferred to Sup. Court and also the petition filed by our mumbai people. To our surprise Kolkata New india people have tagged their case with us. and the petition has not reached the supreme court. We have asked our counterpart in Kolkata to talk to the officebearers of that Assn. to speed up the whole process and we are taking all steps to see that it is completed.

Let us hope on 27th of Jan 2012 we will get our case listed.

We had discussion with our Advocate at Delhi who also have hope that it will be listed soon.

Another development in the LIC case has boosted our hope, since the management has deposited the amount, which stands due to the pensioners as per the High court Decision, in the court and gone on appeal to supreme court and the SLP filed by LIC is coming up for hearing this month.

Our sincere New year greeting to one and all and with lot of prayers for a favourable decision in our case atleast this year we end this update.
