Wage Revision - Views / Queries of the Readers

ANANT JEURKAR says “HOW IT IS HAPPENING THAT allbankingsolutions IS ALSO UNABLE TO GET ANY NEWS ABOUT THE EARNEST SUBJECT OF EACH AND EVERY BANK EMPLOYEE? NOBODY IS CONCRETELY TELLING ABOUT THE WAGE REVISION. THE MEETINGS OF UNIONS AND IBA ARE ALSO TAKE PLACE AFTER LONG INTERVALS. AMONG THE LEADERS (?) NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THE NEXT DATE OF NEXT MEETING !!!!! WHY SUCH LONG INTERVALS ARE THERE FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF TALKS? IT IS TREMENDOUSLY LONG PENDING ISSUE OF WAGE REVISION OF THE NATIONAL FINANCIAL SECTOR AND HOW THESE CONCERNED PEOPLE ( UFBU & IBA DELEGATIONS) ARE SO RELUCTANT ? WHAT IS THEIR INTEREST FOR KEEPING THIS PENDING? GENERL BANK EMPLOYEE, NOW CAN NOT BEAR THE DELAY. IT HAS BECOME TO BEAR,BEYOND THEIR CAPACITY".

Mr L R Thakral says : "After the meeting of 4 officers Organizations with IBA on 15/3/2010 there is no development nor details about positive response are displayed by your site or AIBOC or other officers organisations or other Unions web sites. Bank employees all over the country are desperate to know the latest developnent and the wage revision and 2nd option of pension matter is already delayed VERY much. I request the negotiating unions to expedite the matter.

Anil Bohra says : NOW I REQUEST TO ALL BANK EMPLOYEES THAT PLEASE FORGET FOR WAGE REVISION BECAUSE THE IBA NOT GIVEN TO US ANY REVISION AND UNIONS ARE ALSO NOT INTERESTED AND SERIOUS FOR WAGE REVISION WHAT IS INTERNAL UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN BOTH AND GIVE US ONLY LOLLYPOP AND WE WHO READY FOR FIGHT ON EVERY CALL OF UNIONS, SO MY DEAR FRIENDS LEFT THE LOLLYPOP UNIONS ARE WORKED AS IBA AGENTS.

NO WAGE RIVISION CARRY ON UNDERSTAND MY FOOLISH COMRADES"

Sumit Grover asks : " As a VRS optee of State Bank of Saurashtra, I was not able to take pension scheme in my tenure of 30 yrs of service as I took vrs in 2003 from State Bank of Saurashtra. Now SBS is merged in State Bank of India. Can u please tell me that if I wish could I enroll my self for pension scheme. Please let me know more about the wage revision policy coming to form this year or not as we are hearing it from the last decade. Please let me know from our comrades, what exact time will they take to deliver fruitful results to us.

Rajni kant Raval asks "I have not opted for the pension. As per the recent MOU signed, whether I am eligible for pension if yes what amount of additional contribution i will have to make towards the additional burden of PENSION. I retired on 30/09/2009. At the time of retirement my basic was Rs.23520/- and gross salary was Rs.41313/-I retired as scale iii officer".

Muraleedharan says : "Mathematics of wage revision is a little bit informative. Let us not be emotional. Frustration is natural and applicable to all including leaders. We should focus our attention on facts and figures and make the discussion meaningful. "

Satya Prakash asks : "What is the exemption limit of gratuity for bank employees for the year 2009-10"

Bkrishnakumar asks : Could any one tell me whether the enhanced gratuity limit of 10 lacs would be applicable for a bank officer who has put in papers for voluntary retirement on Feb.10,2010? The date of relief will not be beyond May 10,2010.

Ramesh Kumar says : "Why not to suggest IBA/GOVT to chalk out the strategy for the next wage revision due in Nov 2012 and start negotiations on this score also to save the manpower and save the public from inconvenience due to strike action of bankers which is inbuilt phenomenon of wage revision discussions?

Anil Bohra says : "ALL THE LEADERS FAILED TO CONCLUDE PRESTIGIOUS WAGE SETTLEMENT. ALL OTHER UNIONS CONCLUDE THEIR WAGE REVISION BEFORE GENERAL ELECTION WITH 40% INCREASE BUT OUR LEADERS LINGER ON THE WAGE REVISION TILL DATE

WHY?

A NEWS COMING BEFORE ELECTION THAT FINANCE MINISTER AND SOME LEADER OF UNION HELD A MEETING WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE MEETING BUT SOME DAYS AFTER A NEWS COMING THAT SETTLEMENT WAS CONCLUDE AFTER ELECTION WHAT IS REASON FOR THIS"

Prashanth asks : " Please complete provide the details of the pension as second option being exteneded. I need specific information on the eligibility critetia. If I resign now will I be eligible for the option as I have been in Bank service for the past more than 24 years and want to resign now or should I wait till the settlement is complete".

Anshu Saroj asks : " I joined as a PO in sbi during May 2000 and by coming may i will be completing 10-years of service. Suppose i quit service now for some jobs, wili be eligible for pension and other benefits that otherwise i would have been eligible to".

Ajay Singh Rathore says : "As long as the Unions are headed by retired people, they will only look after their interests and not of the working people. The present settlement has also dragged on for such a long time because the Union Leaders (retired people) were only interested in looking after the interests of Pensioners. Had it not been the case, the working Bank employees would have easily got more than 30 percent wage increase. God Save the working Bank Employees/Officers from the Retired Union Leaders".

Chandrashekhar Kulkarni says : "In fact the wage revision should be at 30% like central govt 6th pay commission and HRA should also be at 30% like central govt employees.17% wage settlement is not convincing".
