My Dear Friends, 

At the outset , I extend  you all my warm greetings on the eve of  Ugadi /ఉగాది / गुदि पद्व  / चैत्र नवरात्रि / बोहग बिहु Of late, the logical conclusions drawn from the   fast turn of events are indicating a positive outcome  on the much awaited Pension Revision. 
Among other things, the latest episode  with regard to the WP  48905/2018 of 31 10 2018 filed by Canara Bank Retired Officers Association at KHC: Bangaluru is quite interesting and mysterious. 

Deatails are annexed  here as informed by one of our learned friends - viz: Sri J Somashekara from Bengaluru. 

Further, I also annex here an audio link that contain my reactions (iin telugu & english) on the issue .  I hope  my non-telugu friends are also can easily make out the gist of my conversation with my co-retiree from Andhra Bank (erstwhile)
