Sri Somnath Chabra replies to Sri C.H.M

Sir,

I am not aware of how many recipients of your mail responded

to its contents and in what manner.I shall like to share my ideas

with you and shall love to be corrected if the line of my thinking

is wrong.

The process of granting increasing pensions to the ageing

Central/State govt. retirees has been in existence for a long 

time.We mentioned it in our writ filed in Chandigarh H C  in

2010 and requested for the same for the LIC retirees.

Our present legal status is

1-The LIC cannot give any financial relief to its pensioners

without the Central Govt. amending the pension rules.And,

2-The LIC retirees can not be treated at par with the Govt

retirees in the matter of payment of theretiral benefits.

Our main demand in the Supreme Court is to be treated 

at par with the Govt employees as our pension rules are framed

by the central govt and these are similar to the central civil

services pension rules.

Getting all set to fight the case vigorously in the Supreme Court

against the LIC/Govt combine and then requesting them 

simultaneously for small mercies appear contradictory exercises.

It won't pay.

Yes.It is election time.And the BJP can feel the earth under its

feet shaky as compared to the last time.It is the best time for

the leadership of the BJP backed trade unions of employees

and the retirees to alert their political bosses to retrieve the

loosing grounds.I am sure the bankers are going to be more

aggressive in their agitations in the coming weeks.The Govt

may feel compelled to take some favourable decisions before

the elections are announced.

And,we get on with our meeting on the 2nd Feb.and then the

Supreme Court after 11th Feb.

With regards,

S N Chhabra
