NOINO has demanded immediate administrative instructions for revision of Actuarial Allowance. The notification has been issued by the Government 8 months ago.

The wordings of our letter written to ED(P) in this regard is reproduced, here-in-below:

12.6.2010.

The Executive Director (Personnel),
L.I.C. of India.

Respected Madam,

Re: Revision in Actuarial Allowance.

We would like to draw your attention that the Government of India has issued a notification ref. F.No. S-11012/09/2007-Ins.III dated 15.10.2009 revising the Special allowance for In-House development of Actuarial Capability. However, though 8 months have elapsed, the administrative instructions to that effect have yet not been issued.
We, therefore, request you to issue these administrative instructions without any further delay.

Yours faithfully,

NOINO PRESIDENT JAVADEKAR DISCUSSES CHARTER ISSUE WITH FINANCE SECRETARY

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

NOINO continues to make efforts for early talks on wage-rise. NOINO President, Shri Prakash Javadekar, MP, Rajyasabha today (2nd June 2010) discussed the charter issue in LIC with the Finance Secretary Shri Ashok Chawla. Following points were raised by Shri Javadekar:-

1. Early resumption of talks:- Shri Javadekar lamented the fact that no fruitful discussions have taken place since long. He said that the LIC employees were feeling frustrated because of the long delay. He demanded that the Ministry should direct the management to take immediate measures for an early resumption of talks.

2. Wage-rise as per paying capacity of LIC :- Shri Javadekar said that majority of the unions in LIC(including NOINO) have already rejected the offer of 17.5%. He also reiterated our position that it is unfair to compare LIC with banks. He quoted various figures such as profitability per employee to show how futile this comparison was. He also said that though we do not want to compare with banks, if it was not for the pension issue, the bank employees would have got more wage-rise. He argued that the pension issue not being so prominent in LIC, the employees deserve a higher wage-rise than 17.5%. He strongly demanded wage-rise as per paying capacity of LIC.

Shri Chawla said that he would immediately talk to the LIC management on this issue. He also seemed to be suitably impressed by the arguments of our President. In the light of the above, we feel that things should move now & we may see the result shortly.

Yours brotherly,

20.5.2010.

Dear brothers & sisters,

We all have been eagerly awaiting the discussions with the management on our wage-revision. As per our assessment, the discussions were expected in the next week, i.e. the last week of May 2010. NOINO had been striving hard to achieve that end & was continuously following up with the management for an early & fruitful discussion. However, in a somewhat unexpected event, on 13th May 2010 one of the SC/ST Welfare Associations(Shinde group) approached the Chennai High Court to direct the management to invite their group for discussions on wage revision. The management will make its submission in the next hearing which is expected either in the last week of May or in the first week of June. Till then, it seems unlikely that the discussions will take place. We have urged the management to expedite the matter so that the long pending wage revision issue is resolved.

This post is without any comment & for information purpose only.

• IT IS NOIP’S VICTORY
• LIC GRANTS 75% SUBSIDY ON MEDICLAIM PREMIUM TO RETIREES
• LIC ENHANCES BASIC SUM INSURED

Brothers & Sisters,
You are aware that since inception NOIP had been consistently demanding extension of facility of share in Mediclaim premium being borne by LIC, to LIC employees even after their retirement.

The Organisation had continuously taken up this issue with LIC Management by writing letters on 01-09-2001, 10-10-04, 29-11-04, 22-04-05, 22-06-06, 30-10-06, 23-07-07, 28-01-09, 27-04-09, 14-12-09 & 26-02-10. The Organisation had discussed this issue on 30-11-04 with ED (P), on 23-07-07 with LIC Chairman, on 28-01-09 with ED(P) & on 26-02-10 with ED (P) again.
Finally LIC, in their meeting with NOIP Office-bearers on 26-02-10, indicated positive consideration of our demand regarding extension of facility of share in Mediclaim premium being borne by LIC, to LIC employees even after their retirement.

Now the LIC in its Board meeting held on 05/05/2010 has approved that the Corporation will bear 3/4th of the premium for Mediclaim policy uniformly for retired employees for the revised basic sum insured applicable. The sharing of premium will be applicable for the Mediclaim policy from 01/04/2010. The revised basic sum insured for retired employees will be as per the table given below:

Categories Basic Sum Insured Increased Basic Sum Insured
III 60,000/- 85,000/-
II 80,000/- 1,10,000/-
I 1,20,000/- 1,65,000/-

It is the victory for NOIP as we had been persistently following up this issue.

NOIP MEETING OF 26 April, 2010
The Steering Committee Meeting of NOIP was held at Mumbai on 26-04-2010 on a short notice, to take advantage of the availability of Shri. S. L. Burman, President, NOIP in Mumbai. Apart from him, the following functionaries were present at the meeting which started at 12 noon and concluded at 5 p.m. 1) Shri S. D. Kulkarni, President, Maharashtra Pradesh, BMS, Pune; 2) Shri. S. S. Kashikar, Senior Leader, Nashik; 3) Shri V. Y. Lotlikar, Senior Leader, Mumbai; 4) Shri. C. Y. Kalele, General Secretary, NOIP, Mumbai; 5) Shri. Ashok J. Joshi, Working President, NOIP, Pune; 6) Shri. Sharad D. Dao, Organising Secretary,
NOIP, Pune; 7) Shri. B. Ramachander Rao, CC Member, NOIP Hyderabad.

Organisational Matters : The meeting took review of the campaign of membership drive. The meeting received encouraging reports of enrollment of new members from various centers. After Pune meeting of 28-01-2010 about 50 new members have joined the organisation. Shri. Ashok J. Joshi visited Bengaluru, Hubli and Dharwad and held meetings of pensioners for membership drive. Efforts are afoot to hold meetings at Delhi, Chandigarh, Meerut, Jaipur and Ajmer. NOIP circular of 26-02-10 regarding discussions with ED(P) along with Hindi circular regarding Shri. Burman's appeal to NOIW conference was sent to all NOIW CC members and NOINO office bearers all over India. Our local members and activists are requested to enlist support of local units of NOIW and NOINO for membership drive.

Accounting at NOIP HQ : At the time of formation of NOIP in 2004, it was decided that the local unit IPO Mumbai should account for all NOIP transactions of collections and expenses temporarily till self reliant arrangement for NOIP is made. The meeting reviewed the situation and decided that all NOIP transactions of receipts and payments should be accounted for by NOIP itself through its Bank account. It is decided that NOIP’s Funds in IPO Mumbai Bank Account should be transferred to NOIP Bank at the earliest.

Centralised Membership at NOIP HQ : The meeting observed that there is a gap in proper and swift communication between members and the organisation because after pensioners become members of the organisation their forms and addresses are not received at NOIP HQ in time. It is, therefore, decided that henceforth the divisional centers should send membership forms and fees to NOIP HQ and membership should be directly registered at NOIP HQ instead of at any IPO unit. Once a member is enrolled at Division, the form and the membership fee collected should be sent to NOIP HQ immediately.
The expenses incurred by activists for touring for membership drive should be reimbursed by NOIP HQ.

Court Case : It was reported in NOIP Circular of 6.2.2010 that it is learnt that Jaipur High Court has given a verdict on 12-01-2010 in LIC pension case on LIC pension to be revised with every wage revision. It is observed that the copy of the verdict is still awaited. We shall revert to you with further developments on receipt of the High Court Order.

Shri S. L. Burman President NOIP in his concluding remarks made a fervent appeal to all NOIP activists to make more efforts to increase the membership of the organisation. The meeting came to an end with vote of thanks by Shri. B. R. Rao.

With greetings,

Brotherly yours,

NOIP's victory!

NOIP (National Organization of Insurance Pensioners) continuously followed up with LIC the demand of parity with in-service employees on Mediclaim Premium subsidy. LIC authorities in meeting with NOIP on 26/2/10 indicated positive consideration of the demand. Now, LIC on 5/5/2010 granted 75% subsidy on Mediclaim Premium to Retirees on Revised Basic Sum Insured. This could be achieved only because of consistent efforts of NOIP.
