FEDERATION OF RETIRED LIC CLASS I OFFICERS' ASSOCIATIONS    President :    N.P. Bali 705, Sur, Veena Saaz, Thakur Complex, Kandivali (East), Mumbai - 400 101 Mob : 9820324213 Email Id - npbali@hotmail.com General Secretary :    D Krishnan No.6/1, Sreshta Riverside Apartments, Wood Creek Road, Nandambakkam, Chennai - 600089 Tel : 9176635967 / 044 42850049. Email Id - dkrishnan1@gmail.com E circular No.DK/16                                        30-03-2020 Friends,    Reg:--- Can we contribute to PM's Fighting Fund?  As we all are going through an unprecedented ‘period of total shut down’ on every conceivable front, to combat the fast spreading Virus, there is a very noble idea that has come up in the minds of our members, as to how we shall contribute to the Prime Minister's Fund, meant for fighting this threat to the health, well-being, and life itself, of people in this country. Various possible options were discussed. These included i)                  Deductions by the LIC from Pensions of our members,   ii)               Collections being made from members and Associations conveying it to the Federation, where it will be consolidated and forwarded.  In the present situation, consolidation at the Federation level is difficult. Hence  Associations can try and contact members and collect the money from them, by cheque or NEFT transfers and pass it on directly to the PM's Fund.  iii)            If collection drive by the Association  becomes a difficulty, since courier and postal services are not fully operative, the Associations can request the individual members to remit the contribution, directly into the PM's Account by NEFT or IMPS Transfers where possible, and keep the concerned Association informed, who will in turn keep the federation posted with the details, so that we could make a total list of all such payments made, to tell ourselves , how much has gone into such Funds from the Federation, to fight the National Menace that is currently shaking our governance structure so badly. The first one is possible only from next month's pension. Also, LIC Divisions and ZOs cannot be instructed to make deductions only of our members. It may also involve LIC asking for consent from individual members concerned, without which deductions from pension is not possible. Wherever Associations feel that the second option may be difficult in the present scenario of  total freezing of movements that is in vogue now, the third option is the one which is possible as of now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------               The Account details are furnished below Name of the Account : PM CARES Account Number : 2121PM20202   IFSC Code : SBIN0000691   Name of Bank & Branch : State Bank of India, New Delhi Main Branch   UPI ID : pmcares@sbi   I understand, the Delhi Association has already gone into an over-drive mode on this, by taking a decision to donate Rs. one lakh  into the PM's Fund, from the Association Funds itself. This is one very practical method under the current situation, for other Associations too, which can spare the funds.  All other Associations too can also follow this example and see what best they can do in this grim hour of need for the country.  Hoping for better times soon, and wishing all our members , the very best, under the circumstances. It is also proposed to convey our thoughts on this to the other sister organizations of Retirees as well, to add substance to the mission at the National level. D.Krishnan.
