I am grateful to you for expressing your view that it will be an useful material in the hands of Pensioners. It called for nearly four months' of labour to collect the necessary information contained in the book and bring out the same in print.As I had already informed you the job was completed entirely as my personal initiative at my own expense without an assistance from any organisation or in...

  THIS EDITOR HAS JUST RECEIVED A COPY OF THE HANDBOOK.   THIS HANDBOOK BRINGS A LOT OF DATA, RIGHT FROM THE DAY WHEN PENSION WAS INTRODUCED BY LIC OF INDIA TO ALL THE PENSIONERS, OF COURSE, GIVING AN OPTION TO JOIN THE SCHEME.  THE ARTICLES UNDER THE PENSION RULES STAND UPDATED TILL DATE .  HOW THE PENSION, FAMILY PENSION IS CALCULATED, THE VARIOUS SCALES OF PAY FOR ALL THE CADRES FROM CLASS 1 TO 4 ARE ALL NARRATED FULLY. A VERY USEFUL HANDBOOK FOR ALL THE LIC PENSIONERS.  ONE WOULD HAVE EXPECTED A GLIMPSE ON THE COURT CASES OUR FEDERATION HAS FILED IN VARIOUS COURTS, NOW LYING WITH THE SUPREME COURT.  THE EDITOR CONSOLES HIMSELF, THAT IF GNS SIR HAD DECIDED TO LEAVE THOSE BULKY DOCUMENTS WHICH MAY RUN INTO SOME THOUSANDS OF PAGES, THERE SHOULD BE SOME GOOD REASON.   WE WISH THAT EVERY PENSIONER GETS THIS HANDBOOK SOONER THAN LATER.  LET US SEE WHETHER THE PENSIONERS GET THIS BOOK FIRST OR THE VACCINE FOR THE CORONO VIRUS.  EDITOR ...

My consistent stand (that instead of depending on  court cases and waxing eloquence on legal issues we should save our energy by waiting for something  to happen for bank pensioners), seems to stand vindicated.         It appears to be the speciality of LIC management not to follow even the banks on implementation  of court judgements.I would like to refer in this connection to the case of 92-93 retirees.It is good that shri D Krishnan has made a reference in one of his recent circulars to the meeting he had with Mr.MR Kumar chairman at Ernakulam when he pressed for implementation of the judgement in MC Jains case. The same Mr Kumar had assured me also a number of times as Director (per)when I was the GS that the issue will be settled favourably. In this context I deem it ne...
