Copy Of Joint Note For Officers


















Who will be the persons worst hit?-By Pannvalan

1. Those who are staying in bank's quarters or in leased accommodation provided by the bank. This category of people are not paid any HRA and hence will not receive any benefit from increased HRA.

2. Those who are living in non-CCA centres i.e. places with a population of less than 5 lakhs. They cannot benefit from the increase in CCA.
...
3. Those who retired during the period from 01-11-2012 to 30-04-2015. They cannot receive the extra stagnation increments.

4. Existing pensioners, who had commuted their pension. Their new pension will decrease.

5. Future pensioners. They have nothing to cheer about in this settlement. They have been left in the lurch and forced to fend for themselves.

Dear Comrades
 
LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL”
 
7TH JOINT NOTE SIGNED TODAY
 
CONGRATS  TO  ALL  BANKMEN
 
31 months of long journey  commenced on 30th Oct 2012 has ultimately ended by inking the 7th Joint note in the Banking Industry today at Mumbai, benefitting 3,04,090 Officers.
 
IBA team was led by Shri T M Bhasin, Chairman IBA (CMD Indian Bank), Shri Ashwini Kumar, Chairman Sub Committee on Officers’ demands/issues & CMD Dena Bank, , Shri Shyam Srinivasan CEO Federal Bank, Shri Animesh Chauhan MD & CEO OBC, , Shri Ashwini Mehra  DMD SBI, Shri M V Tanksale CEO IBA, Shri K Unnikrishnan Dy CEO IBA, Shri K S Chauhan Senior Vice President, HR & IR IBA besides back up team of HR Dept members of IBA.
 
AIBOA team was led by Com Alok Khare, Vice Chairman, Com S S Shishodia President, Dr Kumar Arvind Vice President, Com M A Srinivasan Dy Gen Secy, Com S N Dutta Dy Gen Secy, Com G Gunasekaran Treasurer, Com Narendra Kotiawala Jt Secy besides the undersigned.
 
After the brief exchange of pleasantries on the happy occasion of concluding the discussions on the wage revision and service conditions of the Bank men,  reiterating the concern to protect , promote and preserve the Public Sector Banks and work towards strengthening and raising to standard of participation of the banks in Nation Building Exercises, in midst of mounting NPAs, due to economic conditions in our country. Then  the representatives of the unions and IBA inked the Joint Note, thus ended the long drawn process of wage negotiation in the industry.
 
The salient features of the Joint Note signed are  :
 
a)      a]Shifting the system of arriving at the wage load on Pay slip components instead of the earlier exercise of total overall load on establishment expenses.
 
b)     b]Due to the capping of 2% over 60.15%  DA merger with the existing Basic Pay for the purpose of construction of new Basic Pay, a new element/component with a nomenclature  as “Special Allowance attracting DA” is introduced. A minimum of 9.75% uniform increase has been  ensured to all Officers in the industry.
 
c)      c]The frozen CCA of earlier Joint note has been defrezed /enhanced this time, as there was a demand by AIBOC to merge with HRA like workmen, in the earlier Joint Note exercise in 2010. Only 54% of Officers are getting CCA.
 
d)     d]The quantum of HRA due to 163.335% rise in the existing basic pay would automatically enhance the HRA. Still, we have added 0.5% in all three areas benefitting 55% of the Officers in the industry.
 
e)      e]There is an increase in FPP, PQP and also in the medical aid available yearly.
 
      f]AIBOA, in its silver jubilee conference held at New Delhi in February  2006, realizing the ever increasing workload of Officers gave a call for “ Regulated working hours” and “5 days a week”. Now keeping the interest  of “GENNEXT” Officers in mind  on whose shoulders the burden of building the public sector banks rests, 2nd and 4th Saturdays will be declared as holidays and in lieu of it 1st and 3rd  Saturdays will be full working days.  5th Saturday of the month will be full working day. It was assured on 23rd Feb 2015, while drawing the MOU, after 6 to 12 months, subject to review,  the matter would be revisited. Hence the vision of late Com “RJS” is  fulfilled to quench the thirst of the new generation of Bank Workers to initiate new process of work – life balancing exercise to a great extent. This is another great achievement of AIBOA.
 
g)     g]Insurance backed hospitalization was also brought as a part of the settlement to the total workforce of the industry except to SBI workforce. It is going to be a new experiment, however  the workforce in the industry has to deal with the Bank only.
 
To put in a nutshell, a per capita increase of Rs 80,720/= per annum is available. A unique step forward has been made in the matter of D & A regulations and regulated working hours for Officers. The process has been set in motion. Other issues pertaining to the Officers’ community has to be taken forward after discussing the same in our central committee. The issues raised on behalf of the retirees has not  progressed well but a record of proceedings was signed by all the Negotiating Unions to work out the ways and means to address the pressing problems.
 
IBA has agreed to advise the Banks to release the arrears from 01.11.2012 to 31.05.2015 at the earliest. AIBOA secretariat which met at Mumbai has decided to call upon the Officers for a 4% levy after tax to be shared equally between base/State/All India Federation and AIBOA. In addition  an amount of Rs 1000/= may please be paid to “AIBOA Unorganised Sector Relief Fund” as a good will gesture, to fulfill  the dream of Late Com RJS. We call upon the members and units to fulfill the financial obligations without fail, as this is a main fulcrum to keep the “Tarak Institute” in perfect condition.
 
The role played by Com D Raja, M P on 18.02.2015 setting the stage to clinch the wage settlement to 8 lacs workforce by leading the delegation of “AIBEA & AIBOA” principal Office bearers to The Hon Finance  Minister Shri  Arun Jaitley was noteworthy. Our red salute to the sterling role played by him in our industry.
 
Congratulations!! Your unflinching loyalty to AIBOA and its role to achieve a meaningful wage settlement is once again demonstrated .
 
 LONG LIVE AIBOA
