Dear Friends,
As informed you earlier the case for SVR Optees with 20yrs less service asking for pension was listed for 9th Nov. 2009 before the Bench Headed by Hon'ble Judge Jain. With due caution Our assn. represented by Sri. Nagarajan Genl.Secty., went to Delhi with our Chennai Adv. Sri.Parthiban on 7th Nov and held a conference with our Sup.Court Advocate Sri. Dayan Krishnan. To our surprise a letter was delivered by M/s Law Associates, Adv. for the Management, which was addressed to the Registrar of Sup.Court requesting him to adjourn the case since they will not be able to attend on that day due to personal reasons. We were very much worried with the attitude of the Management and giving the required line of action to the Sup.Court Advocate came back to Chennai on 8th itself.
On 9th November, in the afternoon when the case was taken up for hearing, we all expected the case to be adjourned. But to our surprise Attorney General Sri.Nanavathi appeared for the management and vehemently argued for the case seeking leave. Since nobody expected Sri Nanavathy to appear for the management, especially when' they ' circulated the letter seeking adjournment, we were taken aback and Sri Nanavathy is of that stature, Judges will grant leave just at the sight of him. God was with us. Fortunately Our Advocate Sri.Dayan Krishnan rose up and objected to the Judge that the minimum basic necessity of circulating the change of Advocates is expected at Supreme Court, and it is a case of Pensioners and Leave should not be granted without hearing our arguments and the final trial should be ordered. Even though the Management made a big show by appointing the costliest advocate spending so much of money for a single appearance Judge did not budge and saw the genuinity in our demand and posted the case for final hearing in Feb.2010. God is with us since our advocate is only a intervener in this case and the main Advocates for the employees were spell bound at the sight of the Attorny General Sri. Vahnavathy and did not speak even a word. Justice prevailed.
Friends, Management will do any thing to stall our enthusiasm and will try to wear us out in finance and perceiverance. We will not budge. We will fight till the last. Come what may.

Pension for svr optees with less than 20yrs of service
Dear friends,
The SLP on the payment of proportionate pension for svr optees below 20years of service is being taken up by supreme court and listed for trial on 9th November 2009. Our advocates are following the matter with utmost vigil and we are sure to get a favorable result since we have already won in Division bench of Chandigarh. We are taking all possible steps to take up the 5 years notional credit also with the above case.
National pensioners are put to maximum trouble because of some communication failure on the part of LIC and RBI mumbai and around 53 pensioners are yet to get their ecs for september. Now we have co-ordinated with the Lic officials and all the 53 pensioners will get their cheques of pension for Sep and Oct 2009. within two days.
Our machinary never rests since Service to Pensioners is the prime aim.

Our case on 19/10/09
Friends,
Our case came up in sup.court on 19th Oct '09 before the Registrar of Sup.Court. and it was adjourned to 26th Nov'09, since out of the four batch of petitions only one file was placed before the Registrar for orders and the other three files some how did not come up due to some clerical delay in Sup.Court. So orders could not be passed on those files and hence postponed to 26/11/09. The management has not yet filed their counter. We expect them to file the counter atleast by the next hearing.

Non credit of pension to National for September 09
Dear friends
The non credit of pension to National pensioners is clearly deplorable and that too in the month of festivals. We took up the matter with Head office and also directly with Lic and we are sorting out the problem. Before that i feel that all our friends should know the reason for delay.
Normally these ECS payments are done by Reserve Bank of India and for us it is through State Bank of India and Reserve Bank of India Mumbai. As usual our Kolkatta LIc has sent its list of pensioners who opted for Ecs to RBI in the first week of Sep itself.
You all should know that there are two types of ECS credits. one is banks coming under core banking ( who can operate all accounts through net banking throughout india.) and banks operating on non core banking style ( who have limited access to Computer)
Normally, till september, the LIC is sending the list of pensioners opted for ECS holding account of their pension with both core and non core banks together without any demarcation.
In the meanwhile the RBI Mumbai has sent letter to all the Banks and LIc to submit the list in seperate formats segregating the core and non core bank accounts as they have changed the format in their net working. But this letter came to the notice of LIC only in the first week of October because of the pooja holidays before which the RBI mumbai has rejected the early ecs credit request to lic noting their inability to give credit under ECS due to non submission of the segregated list of core and non core bank accounts of pensioners.
Once we came to know the problem on the 4th of this month, we mounted pressure on Head office and LIC and got sorted out the matter with SBI the credit for all the pensioners who have accounts in State Bank India. Whereas LIC could not convince RBI mumbai. Finally RBI mumbai relented and agreed to give credit to all the pensioners of Mumbai only, irrespective of the Bank whether it is core or non core.
For other states in the country the LIC is now preparing the segregated list of core and noncore bank account holders on war footing and trying to get pension credited atleast by next week.
We have already registered our protest with Head office Kolkata and also with LIc Kolkata and our representatives are in constant touch with Lic Kolkata. We got assurance from Kolkata LIC office to get the present problem solved within next week.
Hence please bear with the delay and don't be frantic in contacting the Kolkata LIc office as it will further delay the process. we have ceased off the matter and will put pressure on LIc to release the pension before the ensuing Deepavali Festival.

Our meeting at Delhi
Friends,
Our Genl.Secty accompanied by Shri R.Kumar Asst.Treasurer went to Delhi on 14th Sep and stayed there till 18th, to have a meeting with our Advocate. We discussed about the recent introduction of another SVR Scheme for the Tariff Advisory Committee Officers by IRDA which had the extraw clause for payment of arrears and the judgement by Sup.court allowing 5 years notional credit to bank SVR Optees and their bearing on our case.
After thorough discussion, our counsel was postive in his response and said these cases will difinitely help us at the time of trial. He also assured us that the hearing on 19th October will be final at Registarar's Office and the next hearing will be only in Court and asked us to be prepared financially for fighting the case once the Transfer Petition is admitted.
We also had meeting with our counter part at Delhi and they assured us all financial help for fighting the case. We are thankful to Shri Dwivedi for his whole hearted support to us and also for the other office bearers of Delhi Unit.
We met the Chairman of Oriental Insurance Company Shri. Ramdoss and thanked him for immedietely implementing the direct payment facility on Mediclaim for OIC retirees. We further made our demand for inclusion of parents also and also for speedy implementation in National and New India.
Please note that the new SVR Scheme introduced in TAC has got a specific clause allowing the arrears, if the scheme is implemented during the course of implementation of the above scheme, Whereas this was denied to us.
We are vigilant and watching the developments and we are hopeful that wisdom will prevail upon our management to pay our legitimate dues.

Friends
Our case came up for hearing on 13th Aug 2009 and the Registrar ordered for filing the Counter by the Management giving them 4 weeks time and adjourned the case to 19th Oct, 2009.
Now the management has more than 4 weeks time and we expect them to file the counter without fail before 4 weeks. We are also planning to meet the management for filing the counters at the earliest.
The other case, which is seeking pension for those who did not complete their 20 years and denied pension after opting for SVRS is coming up for trial on 24th Aug 2009 and Our advocates are representing the case. at Delhi. the case is numbered at 67 and we expect that to come up for trial.
