Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare’s D.O. No. 1/39/2020-P&PW(E) dated 21st October, 2020

Dear secretary,

The Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare has been conducting Pension Adalats across Ministries, throughout the country, as part of Good Governance, to minimise Pensioners’ grievances, As you may be aware, redressal of Pensioners’ grievances is high on the agenda of the Government.

2. It has been decided, to convene a nation-wide Pension Adalat in the month of December, by each Ministry/Department/Organization/Field formation through Video Conferencing, for which, a suitable date shall be communicated in due course. The main objective of this Adalat would be prompt resolution of pensioners’ grievances, within the framework of extant policy guidelines.

3. The hallmark of the Adalat would be leveraging digital technology to conduct the Adalat through VC. While holding these Adalats, each Ministry should ensure the presence of all concerned stake-holders viz. blob, DDO, PAO and officials of concerned Banks, at the Pension Adalat from their respective locations on VC. A notice, in advance, intimating the time and link for the Video Conferencing for the Adalat, should also be sent to the concerned Pensioner for their participation, if they so desire. For effective resolution of the grievances, it is imperative that the Departments should examine the cases in advance and make extensive preparations for the Adalat. Only those grievances are to be taken up which fall within the extant Pension policy/guidelines. Family Pension cases should be given priority. The Ministries/Departments/Organization having field formations in different parts of the country may organise the Pension Adalats in these formations also on that day, so that this effort has a pan-India effect.

4. A nodal officer, may please also be nominated from your Ministry, who shall coordinate within your Ministry as well with the Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare. The nodal officer will intimate the details of the cases being taken up in the Pension Adalat/s of your Ministry and also intimate the outcome of the Adalat/s tn the prescribed proforma (copy enclosed). It 1s also requested that the name of nodal officer nominated from your Ministry may kindly be intimated to this Department latest by November 10, 2020.

I solicit your kind personal attention for the involvement & support of your Ministry in this exercise in making this endeavour a grand SUCCESS.

With warm regards,

Encl: as above

Yours sincerely

AIPRPA CMC DECIDES TO EXTEND SOLIDARITY TO 26th NOVEMBER STRIKE!

AIPRPA CMC MEETING

The Central Managing Committee Meeting of AIPRPA CHQ is held today afternoon at 4.00 P.M under the presidentship of CHQ President Comrade D.K.Rahate.

The Meeting reviewed the implementation of 3.11.2020 Programme of Demonstration conducted at the call of CMC Meeting of CHQ. It is ascertained that the Programme was observed throughout the country in almost all the States and in more centres of Districts or Divisions in a number of States. The CMC congratulated the members for their brave participation amidst pandemic threat.

The Meeting endorsed the decision of NCCPA for solidarity action to 26th November Working Class Strike. It was unanimously decided that according to local conditions in different States and Districts, the solidarity programme can take different shapes and can be held on any date from 23rd to 26th as per feasibility and local conditions.

The Special Donations directly deposited in the CHQ SB Account have already crossed more than a lakh of rupees and another one and a half lakhs rupees have been reportedly collected by different Tamilnadu Districts / Divisions. On review it is felt that the time limit earlier fixed by the CHQ needs to be refixed in order to facilitate the Districts / Divisions to complete the donation collection. Accordingly, it was decided that the last date will be 31.12.2020 instead of 15.11.2020. However, the Divisions and Districts are advised to remit the collections by 15.11.2020 and continue the task further until end of December.

The WEBINAR on Pensioners Day on 17.12.2020 will be for two hours. Two presentations on “Significance of Nakara Judgment and its dilution by successive Governments” and “NPS and future of Pension in neo-liberal era” will be made by Comrades K.Ragavendran (General Secretary AIPRPA) and M.Krishnan (Ex-Secretary General Confederation) in the Webinar. There will be a Q&A Session followed by the Presentations. The Webinar is being arranged in Zoom App and wide publicity will be given in the Social Media like FB and Whatsapp. All Pensioners can click the link and watch the programme from 4 to 6 P.M. on 17.12.2020. Entire organisation shall involve itself to mobilize pensioners to watch the programme from their houses itself.

Secretariat Resolves to extend Solidarity to Working Class Strike on 26.11.2020

DECISIONS OF NCCPA SECRETARIAT MEETING HELD ON 02.11.2020

NATIONAL COORDINATION COMMITTEE

OF PENSIONERS ASSOCIATIONS.

Dated: 03/11/2020

President: Com. Shiv Gopal Mishra, 9717647594

Secretary General:Com. K.K.N. Kutty 9811048303

Dear comrades,

The National Sectt. of the NCCPA met on 2^nd November, 2020 through video network at 3.00PM. The meeting was presided over by the National President, Com. Shiv Gopal Mishra. The meeting was convened to discuss the following agenda:

1. Support and solidarity action for the one-day general strike call of the Working class;

2. Any other issue of importance with the permission of the President.

The members who participated in the discussions were unanimous of the opinion that the NCCPA must support the strike action as the anti-worker policy of the Government was responsible for the decision to deny the dearness relief to pensioners for 18 months and the recent one to change the base year for the computation of the Consumer price index. The meeting noted with concern that there had been no consultation with the trade unions or the employees representatives, when the government takes decision concerning the service matters of the workers. The meeting also inter alia took note of the serious and unabated spread of corona virus covid 19 in the country and the difficulties to be encountered by the senior citizens. The consequent decision of the Government to restrict mobility especially of senior citizens have made them to be virtually under house arrest. Despite the intense desire to be a participant in the struggles, the meeting noted that the imposed restrictions and the non- availability of public transport in certain areas will constrict them from participating in assembly of people. The genuine apprehension of being a victim of the deadly pandemic was also expressed at the meeting. Taking all those into account, the meeting decided to call upon its affiliate and state units:

(a) To organise sit in dharna or demonstration programme on 25.11.2020 with as many number of comrades as could be mobilised in all important urban agglomerations and State capitals and at the end of the programme send the following message to Ms. Nrmala Seetaraman, Finance Minister, Government of India, North Block, New Delhi through e mail. Her e mail address is given hereunder:-

Email ID: fmo@nic.in

Text of the message:

Dear Madam,We support the one-day general strike of the working class in the country and request you to settle the issues they had projected.

We also request you to kindly concede the following important demands of the pensioners urgently;

(a) Release the Dearness Relief impounded;

(b) Implement Option No. 1 of pension fitment formula as third option.

BSNL pensioners;

(d) Implement the Pension Revision from 01.01.2017 to BSNL Pensioners;

(e) Revise the pension of PNB employees without further delay;

(f) Restore the rail travel facilities to senior citizens.

(g) Sanction Festival Grant of 20,000/- to Pensioners/Family Pensioners.

Those who could not attend the dharna / demonstration programme due to difficulty of travel etc, may send the above message by email to the finance minister on 25^th November.

(b) Ensure that the wall posters, play card etc. are exhibited at the dharma venue depicting that NCCPA support for the one-day general strike on 26^th November, 2020

(c) It was also decided that the NCCPA CHQ will issue a press Statement in support of the strike. The same will be placed on our website as also conveyed to all affiliates and State Committees through NCCPA WhatsApp Group.

The demand for festival grant or advance was raised and the President was requested to take up the issue with the Finance Secretary. Com. President said that the workers have not appreciated the conditions imposed by the Government for the festival advance. Demanding the advance will amount to acceptance of the same conditions, which would make it worthless. However, he agreed to take up the issue of festival grant for the pensioners as a special case in view of the pandemic.

Com. V.A. N. Namboodiri, who had to leave the meeting halfway due to technical problems, wanted the NCCPA to ask the Railways to rescind their decision to withdraw the Senior Citizen Facilities. The NCCPA will forward a resolution in the matter to the Railway Board Chairman.

The copy of the Press Statement and the resolution demanding restoration of the senior citizen facilities will be sent to you separately.

With greetings,

Yours fraternally,

Secretary General.
