Volume 1 December 2014

At the outset, I would like to congratulate all the members of our

esteemed organization i.e AIUBOF and all the Unionites, upon re-

launch of our Website and Magazine of AIUBOF. You must be

remembering that our Federation had a website which could not be

continued because it got hacked by someone. Since the website is a

direct link between the top leadership of the AIUBOF and the

members located at every nook and corner of India, the stopping of

the website was the most unfortunate happening in the history of

the organization. In addition to the sudden stoppage of the link, the

earlier website also had lot of shortcomings which were aired by

everyone especially the members of Gen “Y”. It was a collective

decision of all the present committee members who attended the

working committee meeting held at Delhi, that a new website should

be launched which is capable of meeting the requirements of all the

segment of our members. Though there shall always be the scope

for betterment of the website, which we are committed to carryout,

the website in the present avatar has been developed after holding

consultations with lot of experts and the members.

It is the hard work offered by some newly elected office bearers of

our Federation, which has helped us to launch a very coveted and most advanced website

“www.aiubof.in” of our Federation, for our beloved members.

It is not only unique in nature but also very much informative, technically superior to the

previous one & most user friendly. The dedication of the members, who employed themselves in

constructing this mammoth and one of the best website in the industry within the short span

of time, is really praiseworthy.

In this present website, some of the important ingredients are included after accessing the

knowledge requirements of our members especially “Gen Y” to enable them to provide the

better customer service with updated knowledge. Hopefully, our efforts will usher a new

horizon in the sphere of minimizing accountability and maximizing business for our bank. I, on

behalf of my newly elected Federation team wish that all the field functionaries should take

the full advantage of our website and suggest the further improvements from time to time for

its successful updating. As an absolute majority organization of the officers, not only in our

bank but also in the industry, it is our bonded duty to offer better understanding & services

for our members continuously and efficiently.

Friends, our coveted in house journal “Union Vision” was being published form Kolkata. The

change in the leadership and the transfer of Central Office of the Federation from Kolkata to

Delhi has resulted in non-transfer of funds, documents, keys of the earlier website and other

materials to the newly elected body of the office bearers thereby affecting the normal

working, which includes the publication of Union Vision. Despite our best efforts, we could not

get the co-operation of the earlier dispensation for keeping the publication on continuous basis.

We had to struggle at each and every step and we are glad to inform you that the Union Vision

has again start its journey through this website now onwards under the guidance of the

Editorial Board constituted by the Central Committee i.e. Com. Debasis Ghosh – Editor, Com.

Shyamal Chaterjee – Sub- Editor, Com. R.S. Dhaka – Convener and Com. Prabhat Saxena, Com.

V.K. Kaul, Com. Amarjit Singh, Com. Sonia Rai & Com. Nepal Das as its Member.

On behalf of my team, we request you to please send your articles, suggestions, events

conducted in your units to the Federation so that it may be the part of Union Vision after

being approved by the newly constituted editorial board. Kindly note, in the techno-savvy

environment, we thought it fit that Union Vision will only be published in the website and not in

the hard copy, which is in a way eco-friendly also. This will help to minimize the time lag but

also reduce the cost and increase the circulation effectively & instantly.

Friends, days ahead are not smooth. The sword of accountability is hanging. The economic

environment is very sticky. Though the officer’s class is considered to be the growth engine of

the bank but the remuneration / salary is so pathetic that banking industry is no more a

lucrative destination for the talented people in India. It is an irony that the class who are

dedicated to fulfill the commitment for the country, who are instrumental for expediting the

growth of our economy, the institution which is responsible for bringing prosperity to the

nation is being ignored all the times for a good deal in revising the salary structure. It is also

very surprising that though the provisions for increasing the salary of the Banking fraternity is

from the profit only not from the tax payer’s money, still media, administrative lobby of the

government, the political stalwarts everybody is against the Bankers for the reasons best

known to them.


Today’s menace of NPA and increased no. of sticky accounts in Public sector are the

contribution of so called doctored prescription of the policy makers. In our pseudo democracy,

all the promises are ironically not in direction of Nation building. I therefore, request all of you

to rededicate yourself for constructing this vibrant forum not only to get a better deal in

salary and service conditions but also to render our duties diligently, efficiently and

professionally.

I am of the firm belief that our dedication, our knowledge about banking & our professionalism

in rendering good services to our customers can only save the Public Sector Banks. Our long

pending struggle for wage revision, regulated working hours and 5 days banking will be achieved

if we are sincere / serious & collectively work for those genuine just causes including

executives present in the Public Sector Banks. I presume most of the executives are in

pathetic conditions in terms of pay package and perks and very surprisingly still they prefer to

keep silent.

Friends, recently our 95th Central Committee Meeting was held at Bengaluru. Many Landmark

decisions were taken for revamping our Organization. In a glittering function, we bid farewell

to our President Shri Harish Padiyar. Com. Shyamal Chaterjee will be assuming the post of

President of AIUBOF from 1st November 2014.

Very recently in the Madras High Court, due to our hard efforts, stalemate in the promotion

and transfers has been over. Judgment is in our favour and hopefully management will start the

process soon. Friends, struggles are going on in achieving the goal of getting a good wage

negotiation. Organizational actions are at its full swing. Hopefully our unity & solidarity will

yield result very soon and policy makers will be compelled to accede to our just demand. I

personally thankful to all my members throughout the case, for overwhelming support in

observing relay strike to a grand success with all our earnest efforts the promotion process

for specialist & Generalisthas been started. Regarding Transfers, we are hopeful of getting

favourable response from top management.

Once again I request to all my members that please rededicate yourself for our Bank because

we have to prove again that Development of our Bank is not the domain of Top Management

only rather it is the agenda of field functionaries because we are the real profit earners for

our bank. It is a matter of pride that once again we are able to start our coveted in house

magazine “Union Vision” for our members & I am sure Union Vision will get its valued readership

from the rank & file.

Hope for your active co-operation and always welcome your constructive criticism & sincere

participation in strengthening AIUBOF. ********************

in consolidating the officers’ movement not only in Kerala State but also in the Federation at

large. Indeed their retirement will always create a vacuum in the Federation and we have lost

the unmatched captainship of these two comrades. As a Federation General Secretary, I am

personally indebted to both of them for their unconditional support to tide over the

difficulties of struggle in the Federation. On behalf of my team, I wish both of them the

happy and prosperous retired life & it is noteworthy that your leadership shall be the guiding

factor for the budding leaders of the Federation in days to come. I will cherish the every

present leadership who has portrayed excellent organizing skill and dedication to the officers’

movement. We welcome the newly elected General Secretary Com. Bharadwaj Borgohain and

his team.


We convey our heartiest congratulations to the rank and file of the Confederation on this

historic achievement of the long pending demand of ours, which will go a long way to mitigate

the sufferings of the unfortunate families of the Officers / Employees who die in harness.

IBA has been asked by the Government to take appropriate action to circulate the scheme of

Compassionate Appointments to all Public Sector Banks for adoption with the approval of their

respective boards. The scheme shall be applicable from 5th August, 2014.

The department of Financial Services vide their Letter F.No.18/2/2013-IR dated 8th

September, 2014, has advised the IBA that ex-gratia has been discontinued only from 5th

August, 2014, and all cases for ex-gratia pending before 5th August, 2014, shall not be

affected by the new scheme. The Government has also directed the IBA to settle all those

pending cases at the earliest.

Our members are aware that the scheme of appointment on Compassionate grounds was

circulated by the IBA to the member banks on 11th August, 2014, after its clearance from the

Government and was made applicable with effect from 5th August, 2014. With the

implementation of the scheme of appointment on Compassionate grounds, the provision of

payment of ex-gratia in lieu of Compassionate appointment was discontinued. On inquiry from

many member banks, the IBA referred the matter to the Government to seek clarifications

regarding disposal of applications pending under the old scheme i.e. ex-gratia in lieu of

Compassionate appointment.

Since, we have still been receiving many queries from affiliates and the members on the

captioned scheme, we appended below queries with clarifications made by IBA, to various

queries raised:

Q.1 Since the scheme for ex-gratia in lieu of Compassionate Appointment (CA) is being

discontinued and the new scheme for CA is being made effective from 05.08.2014, whether

the pending applications for ex-gratia or CA as the case may be in terms of earlier scheme are

now to be considered in terms of the new scheme?

Ans. Applications which are pending as on 04.08.2014 will be dealt with as per provision of

the old scheme (ex-gratia in lieu of compassionate appointment)

Q.2 Whether we should incorporate a specific provision in the scheme that those cases

where application regarding ex-gratia in lieu of CA have been disposed of prior to 05.08.2014

and any order passed thereon shall not be reopened?

Ans. The cases which have already been disposed / settled shall not be reopened.

SCHEME OF APPOINTMENT ON COMPASSIONATE GROUNDS IN PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS


Q.3 Whether the effective date w.e.f. 05.08.2014 is with regard to the date of death of

deceased employee and if so, whether we should incorporate a specific provision in this regard

in the new scheme?

Ans. As the revised scheme is applicable w.e.f. 05.08.2014, the cases where the death

occurred on or after 05.08.2014 will only be covered under the revised scheme.

Q.4 Whether the age limit of 55 years is applicable only in cases of retirement on medical

grounds or it is also applicable for cases of deaths? In other words, can the benefit of this

scheme be also availed by a dependent family member of a fulltime confirmed employee who

dies while in services but after crossing the age limit of 55 years?

Ans. The age limit of 55 years is applicable only in cases of retirement on medical grounds.

Q.5 In para 8.2 it is mentioned “however bank can consider request for CA even when the

death or retirement on medical grounds of the employee took place long back, even five years

ago”. This may be interpreted to mean death occurred up to five years back from 05.08.2014

to be considered under the present scheme.

Ans. Since the revised scheme for compassionate appointment is applicable w.e.f.

05.08.2014, five years may be reckoned for the cases where death / retirement on medical

grounds occur on or after 05.08.2014.

Q.6 In the coverage part at point No.1.1(b) it is mentioned that “is retired on medical

grounds due to incapacitation before reaching the age of 55 years.” In this regard neither BPS

nor Officers’ Service Regulation provides for such exit. Even first provision to Regulation 19 of

OSR requires that the officer employees should have completed minimum 55 years of age or

30 years of service. As such, unless suitable provisions in the BPS / OSR are provided, it may

not be possible to extend Compassionate Appointment on these grounds.

Ans. Since the revised scheme has the approval of the Government and Public Sector

Banks have to adopt the Scheme with the approval of the Board of the Bank. There is no need

for special provision in OSR / BPS as suggested. Moreover, the existing scheme of Ex-gratia in

lieu of compassionate appointment has this provision.

Q.7 In para 8. “Time limit of considering application:. It is mentioned that “application for

employment under the Scheme from eligible dependent should normally be considered up to

five years from the date of death or retirement on medical grounds”. Whereas in clause No.5.1

it is mentioned “the family is indigent and deserves immediate assistance for relief from

financial destitution”. These are contradictory as the question comes that, if a family makes an

application after such a long gap of even up to 5 years can it be said to be under requirement

of immediate assistance.

Ans. While considering belated requests, it should be kept in view that the concept of

compassionate appointment is largely related to the need for immediate assistance to the


family of the employee in order to relieve it from economic distress. The very fact that the

family has been able to manage somehow all these years should normally be taken as on

adequate proof that the family has some dependable means of subsistence.

Q.8 Clause 11.2 provides that the benefit would not be applicable to the case of an

employee “who had less than two years to retire on the date from which he has been missing”.

Thus the request of family of an employee who goes missing before reaching age of 58 years

can be examined under this provision. This goes against the general rule of attaining 55 years

as provided under para 1.2. Further, before considering CA to dependent family member of

missing employees under this provision, invariably the employment of such employee needs to

be marked as exited. However, for doing so, there is no enabling clause in BPS / OSR. The

procedure to be adopted in this regard needs to be clarified as there could be a possibility of

the missing person reappearing after the CA is given to his dependent.

Ans. As per the provisions of the Scheme, a request to grant the benefit of compassionate

appointment can be considered only after a lapse of at least two years from the date from

which the employee has been missing. Provided that an FIR to this effect has been lodged with

the police, missing person is not traceable and the Competent Authority feels that the case is

genuine. If the employee is absent from duty for 90 days or more continuously, the bank

should have initiated action against him for voluntary cessation of employment as per the

service terms and conditions of the concerned employee. Once this action is completed, it is

presumed that the employee has voluntarily vacated the service of the bank.

Q.9 In the case CA is terminated on the ground of not maintaining family as per the term

of appointment and if the other member of dependent family requests for CA after such

termination on the ground of indigence, which would be even after 5/10 or 15 years, whether

such requests are to be considered and if so the modalities thereof needs to be specified.

Ans. There is no provision in the scheme for providing such employment to other member

of dependent family.

Q.10 The minimum qualification for recruitment of clerks is graduation in any discipline or

equivalent qualification from a recognized University. For sub-staff, the minimum qualification

is 10th Standard pass, but the candidate should not have passed 10+2 examination or its

equivalent. Whether a person, who does not fulfill the education qualification required for a

post, can be considered for appointment on compassionate grounds?

Ans. A person who does not fulfill the essential educational qualification as per the

recruitment rules of the bank can be appointed if the Competent Authority is satisfied that

the concerned person may come up to the suitability of the post offered, by imparting

adequate training in due course, as these appointments are made on compassionate grounds.


Q.11 Clause 1.1 says that scheme is applicable “to a dependent family member of permanent

employee, whereas clause 1.2 says that “employee would mean and include only a continued

regular employee.” These two clauses are not in symmetry.

Ans. If the deceased employee was appointed on regular basis against permanent vacancy,

the Scheme may be extended to his / her dependent family members.

Q.12 Clause 3.3 says competent authority to make CA is Board of Directors in special

cases, Clause 8.2 mentions a special case of a dependent applying for CA after 5 years from

the death / medical retirement of the employee. Kindly advise us regarding criteria for

identification of special cases.

Ans. The applications beyond five years in exceptional cases may be approved by the Board

of the Bank, on case to case basis.

Q.13 Clause 5.1 of the guidelines says “the family is indigent and deserves immediate

assistance for relief from financial destitution”. Guide us regarding the yardstick to be applied

or guidelines to be followed to ascertain the poverty of the family of the employee in question.

Ans. Following factors are to be mandatorily taken into consideration for making

compassionate appointments:

- The family is indigent and deserves immediate assistance for relief from financial

destitution. And

- Applicant for compassionate appointment should be eligible and suitable for the post

in all respects under the provisions of the relevant Recruitment Rules. The onus for

examining the penurious condition of the dependent family rests with authority

making compassionate appointment. Courts have clearly stated in various judgments

that offering compassionate appointment as a matter of course, irrespective of the

financial condition of the family of the deceased or medically retired employee, is

untenable.

Q.14 A dependent family member may also include wholly dependent father or mother as

majority of the low income families with less educated parents depend wholly on the employees

who are the bread winners of such families. At present in terms of 2007 scheme, ex-gratia is

being paid to the dependents parents of unmarried employees.

Ans. There is no such provision in the scheme.

Q.15 Whether the term “wholly dependent” as defined in the BPS from time to time will be

applicable while ascertaining the dependency of the family member?

Ans. Yes.


Q.16 Whether the otherwise eligible cases where disciplinary action major / minor penalty

is imposed due to unauthorized absence / irregular attendance, be also referred to the Board

of the Bank / authority appointed by the Board?

Ans. Yes.

Q.17 The applicant for CA should be eligible and suitable for the post in all respects under

the provisions of the relevant recruitment rules. Whether the relevant recruitment rules will

mean the norms as per the latest recruitment policy of the bank?

Ans. Recruitment rules will mean the norms which are in force at the time of making the

compassionate appointment.

Q.18 Seniority – it would be difficult to isolate and place the Compassionate Appointees at

the bottom of all candidates recruited during each year.

Ans. We are of the view that there would not be any difficulty in this regard as all the

compassionate appointments made during the year are required to be adjusted in reservation

rosters applicable for direct recruitment.

Q.19 Once a person has been appointed on compassionate ground, can he / she be

considered eligible for consideration for appointment on compassionate ground against another

post?

Ans. No. When a person has been appointed on compassionate grounds to a particular post,

the set of circumstances, which led to such appointment should be deemed to have ceased to

exist and he / she should strive in his / her career like his / her colleagues for future

advancement and any request for appointment to any higher post on considerations of

compassion should invariably be rejected.

Q.20 If compassionate appointment cannot be given in a year, can it be considered in the

next recruitment year?

Ans. Yes. There is no time limit for compassionate appointment. A request for

compassionate appointment can be carried forward to next or more years, but the total

compassionate appointment made in a year should not exceed 5% limit of the direct

recruitment in the clerical and sub-staff quota as the case may be.

Q.21 Is reservation roster applicable to compassionate appointments?

Ans. Yes. A person selected for appointment on compassionate grounds should be adjusted

in the recruitment roster against the appropriate category viz SC / ST / OBC / General

depending upon the category to which he belongs. For example, if he belongs to SC category he

will be adjusted against the SC reservation point. If he is ST / OBC he will be adjusted against

ST / OBC point and if he belongs to General category he will be adjusted against the vacancy

point meant for General category.


Q.22 Can service of an employee appointed on compassionate grounds be terminated for not

fulfilling the terms and conditions of offer of appointment.

Ans. The compassionate appointments can be terminated on the ground of noncompliance of

any condition stated in the offer of appointment after providing an opportunity to the

compassionate appointee by way of issue of show cause notice asking him / her to explain why

his / her services should not be terminated for non-compliance of the condition(s) in the offer

of appointment and it is not necessary to follow the procedure prescribed in the Disciplinary

Rules / Temporary Service Rules for this purpose.
