To All the Members
Meeting with Shri. Prakash Javadekar ji
We had been trying for an appointment with Shri.Prakash Javadekarji, Chairman, Ethics
Committee of the Rajya Sabha since 15 days. Ultimately, today at 4 pm we were given the
appointment to meet him in his residence at Pune.
The delegation was led by the undersigned and consisted of Smt.Anagha Sant, Secretary, NOIP,
Smt. Vijayalakshmi Sondur, C C Member, Shri.Sanjay Wani, C C Member, Shri.Devidas Patil,
President, Pune Unit, Shri.Rajendra Desai, Secretary, Pune Unit & Smt.Pradnya Dharap, activist
and family pensioner.
We greeted Shri.Javadekarji on his appointment as the Chairman, Ethics Committee of the
Rajya Sabha.
We submitted the copy of letter dtd.25-02-2023 addressed to the Finance Minister along with
the copy of anomaly chart. We expressed our anguish over the inordinate delay in the
notification of enhancement of family pension and other pending issues recommended by the
LIC. We also stressed the need for updation of pension. He clarified that any extra monetary
benefits would be related to the profitability of the industry. He further said that wage revision
in LIC has been delinked from the revision in Banks and now there is a need to delink General
Insurance industry from the LIC, while granting any monetary benefits including wage/pension
benefits.
He assured that he would put a word in DFS (Dept of Financial Services) to hasten the process
of enhancement of family pension and other items recommended by the LIC. He said that he
may be contacted any time through WhatsApp/email for any further help in the matter. He also
advised us to continuously follow up at the Joint Secretary/Under Secretary levels from our
end.
We also brought to his kind notice that the pension case is lingering in the Court since 25 years
and that the LIC and Govt combined have subjected the pensioners to a long drawn litigation,
though the NDA govt has also continued to adopt the National Litigation Policy. We demanded
that the Govt should not become a compulsive litigant in the matters related to senior
citizens/pensioners. We urged for the updation of pension saying that the pension is not revised in the last 30 years. He said that the govt is wary of the ramification of pension
updation, quoting that many state govts have resorted to reintroduction of old pension
scheme.
The meeting lasted for 45 minutes and the discussions were held in a cordial atmosphere. His
assurance of help gave us a further boost in our endeavours.
With greetings,
Yours Brotherly,
General Secretary
