Dear Comrade,
Enhancement of Family Pension for Bank Retirees
The Department of Financial Services, Govt. of India accorded necessary approval, addressing a letter to the Chief Executive, Indian Banks’ Association for implementation of 11th Bipartite Settlement/Joint Note signed on 11.11.2020 and consequential benefits pending amendments to relevant regulations as per laid down procedure.
In the said letter, the DFS advised IBA to submit financial implications/liabilities in respect of family pension and employer’s contribution under the new pension scheme. The IBA since last one year had been informing that the matter has been referred to Govt. of India. Now, given the DFS letter we understand that more time will be required for its approval. In addition, different amounts are being mentioned as cost requirement for enhancement of family pension to 30 percent without ceiling spanning from Rs.9000 crore to Rs.20000 crore. The IBA never shared the details with UFBU officially. As the amount will be provided from individual bank’s balance sheet, we feel that all the stake holders including the Unions/Associations have right to be informed regarding exact requirement.
We addressed a letter to the Secretary, DFS, Ministry of Finance, today, text of which is appended.

Government of India,
New Delhi-110001
Sub: Closure of Railway Printing Presses – Reg
Respected Sir,
We have come to know that Railway Ministry is going to close Five Railway Printing Presses. This move of Government is neither in favour of Staff of Railway nor to the Department. Thousands of employees working there will become jobless and expenditure of Stationery and other important documents to be published from Private Press will increase.
We as Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers strongly protest the move of closure of Railway Printing Presses and request your honour to kindly review the decision and stop the process of closure of Railway Printing Presses.
Hoping for a positive action.
With regards.
Yours Sincerely,

Sub: Uploading of work experience/service of retiring employees on Anubhav Portal.
Vide CRB’s D.O. letter No. E(G)2015/PN2/3 dated 18.01.2020 (copy enclosed), Genral Managers of the Zonal Railways and Production Units were advised to educate the officers/staffs ahout the “Anubhav” Portal and encourage them to share their notable achievements on their retirement. Railways’ Production Units were also advised to organize workshops on the subject at Headquarter and Divisional levels. EDIP/Railway Beard has been nominated as the Nodal Officer in this regard vide para-4 of the said letter.
2 A Google sheet has been shared with the CPROs of all Zonal Railways and Production Units calling for the data in respect of employees retired since March 2020 and their contribution to “Anubhav” portal. Data in the said sheet is to be uploaded positively by the 10th of every month. It is, however, seen that some of the Zonal Railways/Production Units are not sending the feedback on a regular basis. Even for those Railways/Production Units who are sending regular reports, at is observed that participation of retired employees in the process is far from encouraging.
3. It is reiterated that adequate steps should be taken to encourage retired employees to share their service experience on the “Anubhav™ portal and data in the prescribed format must be sent to Board by the 10th of the following month.
4. This may please be given ‘top priority’ as the mater is being monitored at the Apex level of the Ministry.
D.A.- As above.
