Nationalist force wins Bihar election

.
Bihar has shown the way. Bihar people are no longer divided by caste and religion. They have unitedly voted in favour of ''Good Governance and Development Works'' done by Nitish Kumar and his team (the nationalist force) during last five years.
.
Bihar Assembly Elections were held in the months of October & November 2010 in six phases. Results were declared on 24th November 2010. The final tally is as given below [the figures in brackets show the figures of 2005]:
.
JD(U)+BJP: 115+91= 206 [143]
RJD+LJP: 22+3= 25 [64]
Congress: 4 [9]
Others: 8 [27]
.
Total: 243
.
Nitish Kumar {leader of JD(U)+BJP} was sworn in as Chief Minister of Bihar for the second full tenure yesterday i.e. On 26th November 2010.
.
Heartiest congratulations to the people of Bihar who did not cast their votes in favour of caste & religion, rather preferred to vote for the small culverts, the repaired bridges, the new roads,the new higher educational institutions, the bicycles and uniforms for girls, the solar lights in villages, and most important, the freedom from fear!
.
Accolades for the women of Bihar who turned-up in a record number to vote in favour of Nationalist Force!
.
Congrats to all!

Modification in leave rules demanded

.
We reproduce here-under the letter submitted by NOINO to the ED (Personnel) on the issue of modification of leave rules. The GIC has already effected some modifications which will be beneficial to officers and employees. We have also reiterated certain other related issues.
.
26.11.2010.
.
The Executive Director (Personnel),
L.I.C. of India.
.
Respected Madam,
.
Re: Modification in Leave rules.
.
We are given to understand that the GIC has effected the following modifications in the leave rules:-
.
1. Intervening holidays between CL not to be taken into account as leave.
2. Provision of availing PL reduced to minimum of 6 days instead of 7 days.
3. Minimum 15 days of availing leave while seeking encashment of PL in a block of two years not compulsory anymore.
4. HRA to be a part of ‘Salary’ while calculating amount for encashment of PL during service.
.
Our natural expectation is that the same modifications should also flow to LIC & also since all these demands have been raised in the charter submitted by NOINO on 23.7.2007. We, therefore, demand that the above modifications should be effected forthwith in LIC too.
.
In addition to the above, we would also like to reiterate our other demands submitted in our charter with respect to leave & related issues:-
.
1. 5 days week. If this demand is conceded, then the Provision of availing PL has to be further reduced to 5 days.
2. No ceiling on Sick leave.
3. Encashment of un-availed SL should be allowed on Retirement or on Death of the Officer to the dependent of the Officer.
.
We also demand that an Information-sharing session should be held immediately with the unions to discuss the pending issues.
.
Yours faithfully,

Housing loan & Back-up - 2 IT problems

.
There are 2 issues - 1. the revised housing-loan scheme, and 2. late
sitting for back-up - which are matters of concern for the
employees/officers and are directly or indirectly linked with IT
deptt. We inquired about the issues at CO & got following
information:-

1. Housing loan from HFL:- Recently we had invited feedbacks on this
issue. The main problem is regarding the benefit of subsidy not being passed to the employees. It has been reported from various quarters that HFL / OS officials are saying that since the program has not been forthcoming from SDC, the subsidy cannot be passed. This is not factually correct. The correct position is that the HFL had said that there are three methods of passing the benefit & that they would require three alternate programs for the same. Till now they had not decided which method to apply. As per our information, IT had already
prepared the programs, but since it was not decided by HFL as to which
method was to be applied the programs were not passed on or tested.
Now according to the latest information, one of the methods has been decided. The testing will be done in the next 4-5 days & we expect that the program will be finally released by the end of November. We expect the benefit of subsidy to be passed from December onwards.

2. Late-sitting for back-up :- This matter is being pursued by NOINO
since long. This is because - one main reason why the
officers/employees have to sit late is the time taken for back-up in
branches. You may recall that NOINO had given a comprehensive report on this issue after conducting a nation-wide sample survey in 270 branches and had suggested centralization of back-up at Divisional Offices. According to our information, the centralization work has
started and as soon as the data is centralised, the back-up will also
be centralised. As per our further information, within next two-three
months this process will start picking up & the back-up will be
automatically centralised simultaneously as soon as the data relating to the particular branch is centralised in the division. As per our information, already six branches in Mumbai DO 3 have a centralised back-up. Thus, we have taken the first step in reducing the reasons of late-sitting.

We shall continue to work for the betterment of our Institution, and
in turn, the officers and employees also, in future. We thank the
people who participated in sending feedbacks to us on above two
issues.

PLLI-3%, Festival Advance-20000 declared

.
1. PLLI @ 3% OF PRE-REVISED INDIVIDUAL ANNUAL PAY AS ON Aug 2007 APPROVED.

2. Festival Advance increased to maximum of 20000 for Class I, others maximum 17000.

3. How to calculate PLLI:
Take your August 2007 8asic+DA(before wage-revision). E.g. If your August 2007 8asic=12000 & DA= 3000 then 15000 multiply by 12 into 3%=5400.

Information available on PLLI

.
As far as the issue of PLLI is concerned, according to our information, the Board meeting on Saturday has finalised the parameters & approved the benchmarks. Further information says that the CO is working on the percentages subject to the approval of the MD & Chairman who seem to be busy today in some important meetings. It is likely that the PLLI may be declared in a day or two. CO is trying to
announce it as early as possible. It is our assessment that the PLLI
may range from 3 to 4%. We will keep you posted on any information
received in this regard.
