Dear friends,
There were queries about the case we won in Supreme Court for those who were pension optees,  opted for SVRS but did not complete 20 years of service, which was the criteria for Voluntary Retirement as per our Pension Scheme. The management denied them the proportionate pension.
We took up this case, filing cases at Chandigarh and Chennai through our members. In Chandigarh we won and the management went to Supreme Court on appeal. Our Madras petition we tagged and the Association fought in Supreme court. The petition of the Companies were dismissed. and we won the case.
The resultant benefit is People who went on Svrs with less than 20 years of service will get a relief as below.
The Svr-optees who complete 15 years of service will get the proportionate pension for their actual service put in. As per the judgement the 5 years notional credit will be given to them ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF ELIGIBILITY AND NOT FOR THE PURPOSE OF CALCULATION OF PENSION. and will be paid the proportionate pension for their actual service.

Please contact your friends in the industry who comes under these guideline and ask them to approach the Association for relief, as we have decided to approach the management with the list of SVRS optees who comes under this category.

I feel this will clear all doubts about this case.

Another Good development is that our main case is now listed under Hon'ble Justice Gokhala's Bench consist of Shri. Misra, on 15th as second case for the day. Association is taking all steps to get the case heard on the day. I appeal to all the members to pray for the good.

with regards

However, we have a better chance of our case getting started subject to.......usual....issues Please keep a faith in our colleagues who are involved in contesting the matter on our behalf and Supreme Court where no doubt full time will be allowed to plead the matter to our lawyers' satisfaction !

BREAKING NEWS

SVRS Optees Case

Our Case is listed tomorrow the 12th February 2014 before a Bench consisting of Hon'ble Justice A R Dave & Justice Shiv Kirti Singh. It's listed at serial No.2 and top of the list is a Group matter involving State of Odisha. It looks a little difficult that our turn will come tomorrow as normally Group matters consume good time for pleading and arguments. However, let us hope that we are nearer to door where hearing of the Case gets started. Now is the time for prayers !

Had a talk and given to understand that matter stands adjourned for next week as today time was too short in view of some retirement/swearing in etc of SC judge. !!!! Let us hope that it gets taken up next week. Incidentally, as per my hunch and calculation it will be taken up on 19th/20th February 2014 ! Let us see whether my hunch-cum-calculation is bang on right

I had taken SVRS from New India assurance and was a pension opted employee. at that time my service was 16 years and 7 months.I was refused pension on the ground that my service was less than 20 years. After supreme court judgment of 10.1.2014 the eligibility for pension is 10 years. I have written to New India management after that so many times for payment of my pension but they are not replying.Please help.arvindkumarchaudhry@yahoo.com
