CIRCULAR NO. 33
TO ALL AFFILIATES/MEMBERS: 2nd June, 2005
HISTORIC SETTLEMENT REACHED: CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL COMRADES AIBOC CREATES SEVERAL MILE STONES
The signing of the agreement on 02-06-2005 by the representatives of the Confederation and Indian Banks� association has drawn the curtain to the long awaited salary revision exercise for the Bank Officers. The agreement is a historic one. The long waiting, patience, perseverance and commitment of the rank and file has ensured one of the best settlements we have reached so far at the industry level. The success is that of the rank and file. We congratulate them and applaud them for the tremendous maturity and patience shown by them in reaching the final settlement. The agreement is historic and significant on several counts. The major ones are:-
(1) The percentage increase at 13.25% is the highest so far;
(2) The Officers in the Banking Industry could not get the same date of effect as that of the workmen
in the last revisions. This is the first time the date of effect is from the date of expiry of the earlier agreement, i..e. 01-11-2002;
(3) The removal of anomaly in the matter of Dearness Allowance and neutralization of 100% of D.A. for Officers and Employees;
(4) The correction of Pension aberration and achievement of 50% of last drawn pay as pension
payable to employees retired w.e.f. 1-4-1998 and future retirees;
(5) Introduction of encashment of LFC facility;
(6) Revision of all allowances and their improvement including the issue of Halting Allowance, etc.;
(7) Assurance from IBA for continuation of bipartite negotiations on extension of pension to PF optees;
(8) Improvement in Hospitalisation charges which remained unchanged during the last settlement.
There are several other areas which have ensured a fair deal to the Officers� Community.
2. Comrades, the Confederation has once again emerged as a clear winner in the race. It has ensured that the officers who were deprived of certain benefits, particularly D.A. neutralization as also the date of effect have been taken care of fully. The Confederation has also succeeded in ensuring higher merger of Index and the revision of all allowances.
3. We enclose the details of the settlement for the information of all our comrades.
4. Comrades, let us rededicate ourselves on this historic occasion to the cause of the Officers� Movement, to protect and strengthen it through our constructive participation in all the activities of the Confederation to defend the interests of the working class of our country. On the eve of our completion of 2 decades of service, we look forward to the whole-hearted support of all our officers and comrades in all our future struggles.
With greetings,
