MY DEAR FRIENDS,
INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE EMBEZZLEMENT OF FUNDS IN THE PENSION CORPUS OF BANK EMPLOYEES
[16/03, 8:27 pm] Devulapalli Murti speaks to Com.Gajraj ( Nellore ): (Audio link)

REFERRING TO THE ABOVE, YOU MIGHT BE QUITE AWARE THAT I FILED A SERIES OF COMPLAINTS / GRIEVANCES WITH THE HON’BLE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA ENUNCIATING THE ACTS OF MISDEEDS ON THE PART OF VARIOUS BANK MANAGEMENTS / TRUST BOARDS IN THE PENSION CORPUS FUNDS OF BANK EMPLOYEES / RETIREES.
YOUR KIND REFERENCE IS INVITED TO MY PETITION (10th.JAN,2020) ADDRESSED TO ALL THE AUTHORITIES CONCERNED FOR MORE DETAILS IN THIS BEHALF:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xWCQCH1BIeSvKuSBeubMgrI2g5BxdrlV/view?usp=sharing
IT WAS INDEED A STRANGE COINCIDENCE THAT MY ABOVE COMPLAINTS REACHED THE SUPREME COURT REGISTRY AT A TIME WHEN OFFICERS DRAWN FROM THE CENTRAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION (CBI ) WERE OVER SEEING THE DAY-TO-DAY FUNCTIONING THE OFFICES OF THE REGISTRAR AT THE SUPREME COURT - OWING TO CERTAIN SERIOUS MALPRACTICES (More fully explained in my Audio link of 16 03 2021) HAVING BEEN NOTICED IN THE REGISTRY'S DAY-TO-DAY FUNCTIONING AT THAT POINT OF TIME.
THANKS TO SRI RANJAN GOGAI, THE THEN CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA , FOR HIS LORDHIP’S BOLD STEP WHO CAUSED TO INDUCT THE OFFICIALS DRAWN FROM CBI FOR INVESTIGATION OF THE SUPREME COURT REGISTRY, ON DAY-TO-DAY BASIS TO ENSURE TRANSPARENCY IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUDICIARY
DETAILS OF MY PETITIONS (PILs) ARE APPENDED IN THE FOLLOWING LINK:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12cJ-gt1q_kOkGt94UxY5AR3iQqezwn7R/view?usp=sharing
THOUGH MY ABOVE GRIEVANCES WERE NOT ADMITTED FOR “PIL“ ON TECHNICAL GROUNDS, THE MATTER ATTRACTED THE DUE ATTENTION OF THE CBI OFFICIALS WHO IN TURN TOOOK UP THE MATTER WITH THE FINANCE MINISTRY FOR THEIR “NOD” OWING TO THE PRIMA-FACE EVIDENCE MADE AVAILABLE THEREIN.
ACCORDINGLY CBI CAUSED THEIR INVESTIGATIONS IN ABOUT 8-10 BANKS AND SUBMITTED THEIR REPORTS TO THE FINANCE MINISTRY .
THE ABOVE MESSAGE REACHED THE CONCERNED RETIRED BANK CEOs (M.Ds/E.Ds) WHO SEEM TO HAVE FORMED TWO INFORMAL “CLUBS” AT MUMBAI - VIZ:
1. RETD. CMDs OF STATE BANK OF INDIA &
2. RETD. CEOs (CMDs / EDs) OF PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS
(WITH “ SOME “COMMON MEMBERS IN BOTH THE GROUPS REPRESENTING ABOUT 8-10 PSBs. )
They even jointly hosted a “Musical Nite” in Mumbai some time during November 2020 for the Bank Employees and their families in recognition and honour of the unstinted banking services rendered bravely by our fellow working brethren during the CARONA CRISIS period.
SUBSEQUENTLY, THE “COMMON MEMBERS” OF THE ABOVE TWO CLUBS (Representing about 8-10 PSBs) SEEM TO HAVE GONE ON ‘DELEGATION’ AND MET OUR HON’BLE PRIME MINISTER ON AN “APPOINTED DATE” AND IMPRESSED UPON THE PM OF THE IMPENDING URGENCY FOR PENSION REVISION FOR THE BANK RETIREES – MUCH IN PARTICULAR THE SENIORS WHOSE PENSION HAS BEEN STATIC FOR OVER 25 YEARS WITHOUT ANY UPWARD REVISION - TO COMENSURATE WITH THE CURRENT INFLATION LEVEL.
THAT APART, THEY ALSO SEEM TO HAVE THEIR OWN “ PRIME HIDDEN AGENDA” IN MEETING OUR HON’BLE PRIME MINISTER IS - IN CONNECTION WITH THE “CBI REPORTS” PENDING DISPOSAL AT THE PMO/MOF - APPREHENDING THAT “THE HANGING SWORDS “ MAY FALL ON THEIR HEADS AT ANY TIME AS A LOGICAL CONSEQUENCE.
FRIENDS, A HUMBLE EFFORT IS MADE TO MAKE THE MANAGEMENTS TO COME TO THEIR SENSES TO SEE THE GROUND REALITY AND READ THE WRITINGS ON THE WALL...
I AM QUITE CONFIDENT THAT OUR COLLECTIVE VOICE WILL BE HEARD BY THE POWERS THAT BE FOR A POSITIVE OUTCOME SOON WITH THE DIVINE BLESSINGSOF MATHA KANAKA DURGA ... ABODE इन्द्रकीलाद्रि विजयवाद INDRAKEELADRI - VIJAYAWADA .
SUCCESS SHALL BE OURS.... WHERE COURAGE AND CONVICTION STAND UNDETERRED.....

To: D S MURTI
All these days we were under the impression that our pension funds are secure, by investments in G sec.
It was shocking when the news of embezzlement , by way of diverting pension funds to camouflage NPA figure, trickled down.
At first I thought unions will lap up this information and utilise the weapon to expose even bigger shortcomings of management.
But no such thing happened. To commit such big fraud definitely there must be other co-authors.
THE ROLE OF RBI AND GOVERNMENT DIRECTORS, UNION DIRECTORS, AUDITORS NEEDS TO TO BE VERIFIES. THIS FRAUD WAS SOUGHT TO BE SWEPT UNDER THE CARPET, SINCE AS RETIREES WE LACK PHYSICAL ENERGY, FINANCIAL STRENGTH TO TAKE ON SUCH A FORMIDABLE OPPONENT.
" QUDOS TO YOUR UNIMAGINABLE PERSEVERANCE, AND WILL POWER TO GATHER THE MATERIAL FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES AND KNOCK THE DOORS OF HIGHEST COURT "
THIS IS PRECISELY THE REASON FOR FORMER CMDs TO FORM INFORMAL GROUPS, TO MEET PM /FM, TO SAVE THEIR SKIN .
THIS IF PROVED IN COURT OF LAW, PUNISHMENT OF 7 YEARS COULD BE AWARDED. ATLEAST, FROM NOW ON, THEY WILL NOT HAVE SOUND SLEEP !
IT IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION IF I SAY BUT FOR YOUR "BHAGHEERATHA EFFORTS", NOBODY WOULD HAVE BOTHERED.*
EVEN UNIONS ARE MUM, BECAUSE THEY MAY ALSO BE QUESTIONED.
THANKS FOR TAKING UP RETIREES CAUSE.

Murti garu, you are hitting the manipulators where it hurts them most. You have all the blessings of the senior bank retirees and the good wishes of the junior retirees.
May the updation of pension, DA neutralisation, etc happen soon, after the issues spring out of the clutches of CMDs, bureaucrats and self-serving Ass. Office bearers.
All success to you !!!

Dear Murtiji.
You are a tested warrior bearing untired faith in simplistic and clear propagation and marketing of your thoughts, feelings and ideas in an expressive yet in a fearless manner which always as I know, portrayed you as a Man of Great Understanding.
It is the same garb on your person that prompted the Vice-president of this great country to listen to you at great length and detail.
Being a task master continue to be generous in extending your willing shoulder to cry upon by retirees counting their colour-less days and spare them hope that tomorrow will not be like any other yesterday.
Dream selling is done by many others but it's realisation is set to foundation in your hands.
Go ahead fearlessly and lead us to the boundary where the miseries of retirees end.

At least under the guise that pension revision is a bilateral issue, have our communist unions ever taken up the issue with the managements of banks?
Now when there is some hope of positive moves on pension updation, the unions are stepping in just to torpedo the matter.
Probably they will tell the pensioners, when pensions are revised due to our own efforts, that it is due to their pressure and will demand a huge cut of the arrears as donation!

Dear Sirs
I humbly request you to please wait for another month and stop circulating and believing such messages which are far far from truth
Actually, most such messages are emanating from those who earlier said that they have been able to convince Prime Minister and I don’t think IBA can afford to ignore PM under pressure from leftists or their affiliates working in Banking Industry
I HAVE DEFINITE INFORMATION THAT SOME GOOD PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE BUT IT WOULD TAKE LITTILE MORE TIME.
I ONCE AGAIN REQUEST YOU ALL TO PLEASE RELAX AND DON'T WASTE YOUR ENERGIES.

Friends
If the information is true, it can be only because of the collusion between IBA and UFBU to deny updation .
Kolkata HC had in the 100% DA case ruled that unions and Associations representing working staff cannot enter into any settlement affecting pensioners.
In USA Courts have ruled that working unions cannot negotiate pensioners issues.
Is IBA not aware of this ? It doesn’t require a super brain to understand the fact that unions of working employees and pensioners have conflict of interest and one cannot represent the other.
Let us hope that the news is not true and the Government will announce the updation without seeking anyone’s consent .

True. The logic / reason behind the serving employees union's (award and Officers) opposition to Pension Updation, required to be probed . Something Fishy.

Murthy garu, why not we address letters to the so called leaders of UFBU asking their reason for not supporting our cause.
WHY THIS KIND OF SADISTIC MENTALITY?

It is reliably learnt that the UFBU/AIBEA raised objection on retirees updation and stated the issue being a bilateral one the GOI cannot direct updation without consulting unions.
Knowing very well that a large number of retirees are in serious financial crisis the UFBU's this objection amply proves the UFBU/AIBEA leaders have scanty feelings for the retirees distress.
This also establish how cruel and inhuman the leaders are.
It was the UFBU/AIBEA leaders who under threat compelled the IBA and Banks managements to pursue discriminatory and differential policy in denying payment of 100% D.A. nutralisation benefit to the pre Nov.2002 retirees out of the leaders sheer revenge and all other policies detrimental to the interest of the retirees and employees.
It was also the then AIBOA G.S. compelled the IBA under threat to withdraw 2 to 2.5 p.c. updation proposal during xth BPS negotiation in 2015.
Members of this blog may kindly decide if the UFBU leaders may be called betrayers who all the time backstabbed and duped the retirees.
These leaders are no better than Criminals .
In my opinion UFBU/AIBEA cannot claim updation is Bilateral issue and Govt.cannot grant updation without consulting the UFBU since pension agreement might had taken place between the AIBEA and IBA in 1993 but implemented only after final approval by the Govt. and the Govt.can well approve updation as per terms with R.B.I.
updation without consulting the UFBU.
Now it is to be seen reaction of AIBRF & CBPRO leaders.

Section 19(1) of Act 5 of 1970/1980 says.
(1) The Board of Directors of a corresponding new bank may, after consultation with the Reserve Bank and with the previous sanction of the Central Government, 1[by notification in the Official Gazette], make regulations, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Act or any scheme made thereunder, to provide for all ...
" after consultation with the Reserve Bank and with the previous sanction of the Central Government, 1[by notification in the Official Gazette], make regulations,..."
Points to ponder :
1. FM had sanctioned Updation of Pension in RBI w.e.f. 01 03 2019 providing the formula therefor as communicated by the MOF to RBI on 05 03 2019.
2. FM wants to upgrade/Update/ Revise the benefits of pension in PS Banks too. And as a follow up of the policy, Updation was also sanctioned in NABARD being implemented prospectively from 01 08 2020 .
3. Hence it is for the IBA on behalf of the Board of Directors of the PS Banks to consult with RBI seeking for the similar formula and also for obtaining of their due consent /concurrence for the implementation of similar formula at least , say, w.e.f. 01 03 2021
4. After obtaining of the consent of RBI the Boards have to submit their proposal to MOF for obtaining of formal prior sanction from them .
5. Upon receipt of the proposal from the Boards, the GOI shall seek the observations and recommendations of the " Parliamentary Committee on Subordinate Legislation- Rajya Sabha and accord prior sanction to the Boards for bringing out necessary Gazette Notifications as provide for in the said Act and to simultaneously implement it before proceeding for placing of the amendments in Both the Houses of Parliament in compliance with the procedure laid down therefor under Section 19(4) of the said Act 1970/1980 .
6. In no way either the constituents of UFBU or that of the IBA have got any statutory roll of consultations to be played in determining the Scheme or the amendments to regulations. It is the prerogative business between BOARD and the RBI only .
7. Since the Formula for Updation was already determined by both RBI and MOF , duly sanctioned by said MOF , and got implemented by RBI w.e.f. 01 03 2019, it is pertinent for the FM to note the above factual position in line with and furtherance of her prior assurances made to the bank retirees in this regard and to consider sanction of similar formula for updation to PS Banks at least with prospective effect from 01 03 2021 that does not require any sort of calculations since requisite provisions for providing of the sums in Pension Fund were already laid in position with due force under Section 10(7) of the Act, and Regulations 5 and 11 of the Pension Regulations, 29 09 1995.
A simple note put forth by the Administration for calling for a proposal from the Boards through IBA on the lines cited supra for urgent consideration of the Executive in this regard is the need of the hou r.

REVISION OF BANK RETIREES' PENSION - BIPARTITE SYSTEM A MOCKERY.....????
J SOMASHEKARA ,
CANARA BANK RETIREE ,
BENGALURU
During X BPS almost 40+ BPS meetings were held .
IBA had plenty of time to compile cost data of both 100% DA and updation, But on 25.05.15 along with settlement a Record Note was signed where in it is agreed by both IBA and UFBU that updation cost is high and is to be studied .
After that another 50 BPS meetings were held till 30.11.2020 .
But IBA had no time to collect cost data.IBA failed to produce any cost data for 10 years.
During these 10 years Govt sanctioned OROP to defense, Pension revision to RBI and Nabard pensioners.
No demand was made by UFBU for updation and nothing was given.
Fact is updation data can be collected from Banks within 15 days.
If officers in Banks are not capable of calculating such cost data IBA which is receiving crores of Rupees as fees to conduct negotiations can entrust the work to reputed software firms in the country .
At least after FMs clear advise to IBA we expected that IBA will move fast to resolve issue .
After that IBA met Workmen Unions and Officers unions ,
Retiree organizations claim they were able to meet IBA 3 times .
But it is evident that IBA has not revealed the following 3 major points which would have indicated that IBA is processing issue:
1. Cost of updation
2. Formula for updation
3. date of effect .
IBA has not revealed any information about the above points but simply BRAINWASHED whoever met IBA by saying positive, collecting data, cost is high (a 20 year old story) will be looked in to etc.
It is a mystery whether Banks have given blanket mandates to IBA to decide terms and conditions for updation without fixing time frame .
BPS is big mystery and mystery leads to lack of accountability, manipulation and unlimited delay.

COLLECTIVE BEGGING..??_
BEGGARS CANNOT BE CHOOSERS
ARAVIND MANGLA (PNB Retiree)
There is a famous axiom "beggars are not choosers "
For last 25 years retirees are just begging UFBU!
Retirees will have to create their nuisence value.
Under the guise of regulation 18 of pension fund trust banks are not making their full contributions of pf of the serving employees into pension funds, which is an offence under PF act.
The said regulation reads as under;
# 18. The Bank may from time to time direct the Trustees to apply any amount for the time being standing to the credit of the surplus account or any part of such amount towards a contribution payable by the Bank and such application shall not be deemed to be withdrawal or recovery by the Bank of its contribution to the Fund* .
It's time retirees organisations take proactive action
First by getting information of short contributions through RTI. Thereafter filing formal complaints with the PF commissioners.
