FESTIVAL HOLI FESTIVE GREETINGS

  

  DEAR ALL,

 

 Holi Festival Festive greetings,let us Enjoy,Enliven, Enchant & Entertain every human being with fun-filled spray of colours on this HOLY DAY.

 

 

Auspicious RED,Sunkissed GOLD,Soothing SILVER,Pretty PURPLE, Blissful BLUE, Forever GREEN

The colorful festival of Holi is celebrated on Phalgun Purnima. Holi festival has an ancient origin and celebrates the triumph of 'good' over ‘evil’. The colorful festival bridges the social gap and renews sweet relationships. On this day, people hug and wish each other 'Happy Holi'.

 

 

Holi is one of the major festival of India and is the most vibrant of all. The joys of Holi knows no bound. The festival is celebrated across the four corners of India or rather across the globe. The festival is filled with so much fun and frolic that the very mention of the word 'Holi' draws smile and enthusiasm amongst the people. Holi also celebrates the arrival of Spring, a season of joy and hope. 

 

Legend of Holi Festival

Holi is one of the oldest festivals of India. There are many interesting stories associated with the festival's origin as one moves across the different states from North to South and East to West. Paintings and scriptures depict the roots of the festival. Mythology plays a very important part in narrating the festival of Holi. The most popular stories of Holi origin relates to 'Holika Dahan' and Legend of Radha-Krishan. 

 

Story of Holika 

Integrally entwined with Holi, is the tradition of 'Holika Dahan', which is actually lighting of bonfires. The ritual is symbolic of victory of good over evil and has its root in the legend of demon king Hiranyakashyap who wished to end his blessed son, Prahlad's life with the help of his sister, Holika who burnt in the fire and no harm occurred to Prahlad. Since then the day is celebrated in victory of good over bad. 

 

Story of Radha and Krishan 

The legend of Radha and Krishna is closely linked with this tradition of colors on Holi. Young Krishna, who had a dark complexion was jealous of his beloved Radha's extremely fair skin. In a mischievous mood, he applied color on Radha's face. Following this ancient legend, lovers till date long to color their beloved as an expression of love. 

 

VASANT MAHOTSAVA & KAMA MAHOTSAVA

 

    With winter neatly tucked up in the attic, it's time to come out of our cocoons and enjoy this spring festival. The new crop refills the stores in every household and perhaps such abundance accounts for the riotous merriment during Holi. This also explains the other names of this celebration - 'Vasant Mahotsava' and 'Kama Mahotsava'.

 

 

Holi Celebrations in India 

Holi is famous as Basant Utsav in rural India. It is one of the major festivals in India and is celebrated with extreme enthusiasm and joy. Gulal, abeer and pichkaris are synonymous with the festival. Elaborate plans are made to color the loved ones. Everybody wants to be the first one to color the other. In the ensuing battle of colors, everybody is drowned not just in colors of gulal but also in love and mirth. People love to drench others and themselves in colored water. Gujiyas and other sweets are offered to everyone who comes across to color. 

 

Temples are beautifully decorated at the time of Holi. Idol of Radha is placed on swings and devotees turn the swings singing devotional Holi songs. Now-a-days small plays are organized reflecting the spirit of the festival. 

 

What is remarkably same across the country is the spirit of Holi. Fun, frolic, boisterousness to the extent of buffoonery marks this festival of colors. What more can be expected- when the people get a social sanction to get intoxicated on the bhang, open not just their hearts' out but also their lungs. And viola, nobody is expected to take offense too, as the norm of the day is, 'Bura na mano Holi hai' .

 

 We wish you & all family members ,Regular  Pensioners & FAMILY Pensioners Fraternity  petals of fragrance to enliven their families & to embark a fairly hassle-free life &  indeed to open up a life of joy,fun & frolic & colours with sparkle.HAPPY,JOYOUS  H O L I & glad tidings & auspicious news from now on.

 

GREETINGS & WARM REGARDS,

Fw: Trend of Staff Strength in LIC during the last three financial years- Exgratia for All ?Quantum Small?

As per the LIC's Annual Reports for the last three years,the staff strength of LIC  was as follows:
                           Number of                    Number of Pension       Number of  
                            serving employees          optees in service         employees under NPS
As at 31/3/2021   108987                               88770                      20117  (18.5%)    
As at 31/3/2022   104036                               79511                      24525  (23.6%)  
As at 31/3/2023     98463                               73585                       24878 (25.3%)
 Since 31/3/2022, there has been a reduction of  5926 of pension optees in service.
Reportedly 1,10,000 employees will benefit from wage revision as on date.
We had  74589 pensioners as at 31/3/2023 out of whom there were 24290 family pensioners.
Thus the retirees as at 31/3/2023 were 50299.If we deduct  estimated retirements and exits from 1/8/2022 till date which may be 9000, the balance  number of pre-August 2022 retirees may be about 41000. This differs from the figure of 30000 pensioners  stated in the LIC Press Release by 11000.Probably ,adjusting for errors in estimate, we may infer that no pensioner in Groups 1 to 6 may get excluded for one time  ex gratia payment which however is feared to be a pittance.
The real picture will be clear after release of Notification in a week .

Propsed one time Ex-gratia to LIC Pensioners

 The Ex gratia payment recommended by LIC to DFS is reportedly an one time payment to pensioners.More than 30000 pensioners are likely benefit from this.So it is not on the pattern of the benefit granted to Bank pensioners  as ex gratia monthly payment in addition to monthly pension.

What eligible LIC pensioners are likely to get will be a lump sum as one time benefit.This is my inference from whatever is being circulated in public domain. Factual situation will be known when  Wage Revision Notification is released on 18 th March 2024( Monday).
The conspicuous difference between the Ex gratia monthly payment for Bank pensioners and the likely one time Ex gratia payment to LIC pensioners is that for Bank pensioners it is without prejudice to the final decision on upgradation of pension, while for LIC pensioners,  the payment is stated to be in appreciation of the contribution made by the retirees while in service.In case of Banks, all pensioners of retirement period upto 31/10/2022 will benefit by the Ex gratia monthly payments while in case of LIC more than 30000 pensioners are only likely to get the one time Ex gratia payment. So, at least 30000  LIC pensioners are likely to be left out as totally there are more than 74000  LIC pensioners as on date.Does this mean that the left out retiree- pensioners don't deserve appreciation?
There is some ambiguity in the matter as of now.The actual  situation will be clear after the LIC Wage Revision Notification.

I spoke to Asst. Secretary, Mediclaim desk, CO Mumbai today regarding non deduction of mediclaim premium in respect of non optees of GMS and who have submitted option to join GMS now pursuant CO Circular 324 dated 1.9.23 from their pension paid on 1st March 24.
He has confirmed that deduction in some Divisions could not be effected due to some technical error in such Divisions.

He has informed that the Zonal Offices have been instructed to deduct 2 months premium from pension due on 1.4.24 for such new optees *as their option stands registered in the OS deptt.*

Zonal Offices will be directing the Divisions for this corrective action. Such new optees need not to panic. The OBs of such local units are advised to be in touch and contact the OS deptt. and ensure that all who have exercised the option are not deprived of the hard earned benefit from LIC. 

Pl bear until then.

LIC Wage Revision Proposals

According to my source, the Wage Revision proposals have been cleared by the DFS but the ascent of the Finance Minister is awaited. By this time the proposals have not received the approval of the FM . It may happen tomorrow. In the meantime the details of the proposals are viral on whatsApp. But are silent on pension Updation. These details may prove true also, but we cannot vouch for their correctness. We have to wait and see how far, our request to the Inservice Organisations, brings the result.

Tuesday 12 March 2024

AN APPEAL TO ALL BANK PENSIONER FEDERATIONS

AN APPEAL TO ALL BANK PENSIONER FEDERATIONS!   

The 12th BPS for pensioners is a flop and pensioners have been given a raw deal  and our expectations are belied. 

The ex-gratia as announced is a gratuitous money, very low, small gesture, disgrace and shameful. We must resist it tooth and nail. 

We can not trust UFBU and IBA for their wrongful, unjust acts. Their promise that it will be reviewed in March and every year is a bluff. Not trustworthy. 

We have been ditched for 3 decades and are getting very low pensions comparing to Government pensioners, RBI and NABARD pensioners. 

We have sacrificed and built the banks to such a mamoth stature as past employees.

 We have a RIGHT TO DEMAND FOR A BETTER PENSION UPDATION AND UPDATED PENSION WITH EACH BPS. 
WERE OUR SERVICES INFERIOR? 

Hence, it is imperative that we must send protest memorandums to F.M  and start agitations before elections which will be a sound strategy. 

On this score, all the RETIREE FEDERATIONS OF BANKS MUST UNITE AND FORM ONE UNITED FRONT OF BANK RETIREES CONFEDRATION WITH 

ONLY ONE COMMON AGENDA OF UPDATION OF PENSION IMMEDIATELY ON RBI LINES, 

UPDATION ON EACH BPS,

NEGOTIATION RIGHTS WITH IBA etc.

AT THID JUNCTURE, THE SOLIDARITY IS A MUST FOR THE SAKE OF OVER 7 LACS PENSIONERS WHO ARE SUFFERING MUCH WITH LOW PENSION. 

WE MUST DEMAND SEPARATE REPRESENTATIVE STATUS FOR PENSIONERS AND 

UFBU HAS NO RIGHT TO REPRESENT PENSIONERS SINCE WE HAVE DITCHED FOR THE PAST 3 DECADES

IT IS A FACT. IT IS A SHAME FOR UFBU. THIS IS THE VOICE OF LAKHS OF PENSIONERS. 

ALREADY CBPRO is formed with many retiree associations. 

LET US MAKE ONE STRONGEST ORGANISATION TO REPRESENT OUR GRIEVANCES FOR WHICH WE MUST STRIVE TO ACHIEVE SOON. 

IS IT IMPOSSIBLE? 
ALL RETIREE ORGANISATIONS MUST PONDER OVER AND ACT WISELY! 
THIS IS THE RIPE TIME.

Govt notifies implementation of Citizenship Amendment Act Rules

Govt notifies implementation of Citizenship Amendment Act Rules


Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) announced the notification of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) Rules, 2024, paving the way for implementing the legislation passed by the Parliament in December 2019.

  • This notification establishes the procedures for eligible individuals from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, belonging to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Parsi, and Christian communities, to apply for Indian citizenship.
  • The CAA offers a pathway to citizenship for those facing religious persecution in the mentioned countries and who entered India before December 31, 2014.
  • The announcement comes amidst ongoing debates surrounding the Act, with concerns raised regarding its potential discriminatory nature.
  • Proponents of the CAA view it as a humanitarian measure offering refuge to persecuted minorities.
  • Critics argue that the Act excludes Muslim minorities seeking asylum, raising questions about its adherence to the principle of equality enshrined in the Indian Constitution.
  • The online portal for application submission is expected to be launched soon, enabling individuals to formally initiate the citizenship process.
  • The coming months will be crucial in observing the Act's implementation and its impact on the targeted communities.

Extract of the Order is as follows:
