Meeting with Chairman UI

Today we met the Chairman United India to thank him for sanctioning the direct payment facility to all the Pensioners of United India and placed certain other demands to improve the present facility. He was very receptive and assured us to look in to the matter favorably.
We also met Shri. Kharat GM who was instrumental in giving the facility and thanked him and also insisted upon him to improve the facility.
The meeting with the out going GM Mr.Varma was very helpful since he is going to take charge at National, where we are presurrising to implement the direct payment facility under Medi Claim for all the pensioners in National. He assured us to look in to the matter once he joins National.
We are doing our duty without fail and reaping the benefits, with all our members' overwhelming suppport we will continue to serve the pensioners.

Joint account for pensioners

Friends,

It is now the turn of National Insurance co.ltd to introduce the Joint account system for pensioners. Due to our persistent demand and followup National has followed OIC in implementing the Joint account system. We are now pressing United India and New India for implementing the same. Soon we will be successful

Oriental Pensioners are not getting thier DA increase with the pension when it is due. We have taken up this issue with the Head Office OIC and LIC Delhi without much sucess. Hence we took up this matter with Sri. Sathyanandam, Chief officer P&GS LIC Mumbai and now we have received response from both the LIC Delhi and as well OIC H.O. Soon we hope to succeed in solving this problem.

our transfer petition

Friends
Our transfer petition came up for hearing on 27th april 2009 before the Registrar and the service of notices is delayed further and hence the next review will be on 10th July2009. most likely the last one.
We have some good news through Bank employees' case where they have fought for the notional credit of 5 years to all those who completed 20 years of service and went on SVRS and won the case at Supreme court.
Many points quoted by the Hon'ble judges will be helpful in our case when it is heard.
Let us pray for early hearing and disposal by Sup. Court.
