SBI plans to offer 3% profit to staff

By

India’s largest bank State Bank of India (SBI) on Friday said it plans to offer up to 3 per cent of annual profit to employees as part a talent retention and motivation initiative.

The bank has sought permission from the Finance Ministry in this regard, said Chairperson Arundhati Bhattacharya.

“If you consider the fact that incentivisation is a good way of ensuring people meet up to whatever are the challenges…they respond to them. So to that extent government allows us to share 1 per cent. We are saying that it is necessary for us to hike that amount to 3 per cent,” she said.

The matter is now before the Finance Minister who will take decision in this regard. The bank has about 2.3 lakh employees.

“The amount that they (senior management and mid-level management) get in the private sector is much higher than they get in the public sector,” she said.

As a result, employees who come up to the higher levels because of their merit and hard work, are easily picked up by private sector, Ms Bhattacharya said. “They have a tendency of leaving and going and this will become more so with newer banks coming in and more players entering the field of banking. Therefore, for meeting competitive pressures, we need to ensure that we are able to remunerate our people better,” she said.

For the fiscal ended March 2015, SBI’s net profit increased 20 per cent to Rs 13,101.57 crore as compared to Rs 10,891.17 crore for the year ended March 2014. SBI group’s consolidated net profit rose 20 per cent to Rs 16,994.30 crore during 2014-15 fiscal as compared to Rs 14,173.77 crore in the previous fiscal.

Besides, SBI is also considering a share-purchase scheme for all employees, irrespective of their posts. The largest public sector lender expects to raise between Rs 800-1,200 crore through this scheme.

One Rank, One Pension for High Court Judges: Government to Amend Law

By
igeadmin
-

The long-pending demand of high court judges of one rank one pension is set to be met as government plans to bring a bill to rectify an anomaly as per which judges selected from the Bar get lesser pension than those elevated from state judicial services.

The proposal to amend the High Court Judges (Salaries and Conditions of Service) Act, 1954, comes more than a year after the Supreme Court ruled that such a discrepancy must be removed.

The Law Ministry plans to bring the bill in the Monsoon session of Parliament beginning July 21.

According to the apex court ruling, if the service of a judicial officer is counted for fixation of pension, there is “no valid reason” as to why the experience at Bar cannot be treated as equivalent for the same purpose.

“…we accept the petitioners’ claim and declare that for pensionary benefits, ten years’ practice as an advocate be added as a qualifying service for judges elevated from the Bar.”

The apex court ruling delivered by a bench headed by then Chief Justice of India P Sathasivam on March 31, 2014 had also said that “one rank one pension must be the norm in respect of a Constitutional office.”

“The amendment bill is based on the Supreme Court judgment…we are only implementing the judgement,” a senior government functionary told PTI.

The apex court ruling came on a clutch of petitions filed by former judges of various High Courts as well as by the Association of the Retired Judges of the Supreme Court and the High Courts elevated from the Bar.

The petitions said that while Part-I and Part-III judges hold equivalent posts, they are not similarly situated with regard to pension and retirement benefits which is breach of fundamental rights under Articles 14 (equality) and 21 (right to life and personal liberty) of the Constitution and “one rank one pension must be the norm in respect of a constitutional office.”

The petitioners had noted that the number of years practiced as an advocate should be taken into account and be added to the service as a judge of the High Court for the purpose of determining the maximum pension permissible under Part-I of the First Schedule to the High Court Judges (Salaries and Conditions of Service) Act, 1954.

Such a discrepancy does not exist in the law governing salaries and service conditions of Supreme Court judges.

One Rank One Pension – Ex-servicemen to step up protest

By
igeadmin

Ex-servicemen announced here on Tuesday that they had been forced to “regretfully heighten” their agitation, a relay hunger strike on for a month at Jantar Mantar here, demanding early implementation of the one rank, one pension scheme. They would hold a “Maha Sangram rally” in election-bound Bihar in August. The government is yet to react on the issue.

“To convey the message of a ‘broken promise’ to the electorate of the States going to the polls, we plan to hold the rally in Patna in August,” the United Front of Ex-servicemen Movement said in a statement.

Terming it “shameful” to see award-winning ex-servicemen, some in their 80s and 90s, having to resort to sterner methods, the statement said some had volunteered to go on a fast-unto-death.

However giving time for the government to respond, “We will delay the escalation of protests by one week,” Major-General Satbir Singh Chairman of the Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement told presspersons.

Escalatory measures
The escalatory measures include boycotting all government-organised functions and taking up a relay hunger strike in all 640 districts of the country.

“We will hold relay hunger strikes in all 640 districts. However, the public will not be inconvenienced in any way,” Lieutenant-General (Retired) Balbir Singh said.

One rank, one pension has been the long pending of the 2.6 million ex-servicemen and over six lakh war widows for parity in pension based on rank and length of service, irrespective of the date of retirement.
