Dear Sir,
Re: OMOP (One more pension option) to those, whose VRS was treated as resignation
You may please recall our meeting with you on 02-11-2023. We thank you profusely for having listened
with patience, all our submissions regarding the pending issues of pensioners.
One of the long pending issues was also discussed- regarding granting of one more pension option to
those who took VRS, but due to the outdated, inequitable rule 19 of (Staff) Rules, 1960, their VRS was
treated technically, as resignation and they were not offered OMOP in 2019. Most of these retirees have
even put in more than 30 years of service at the time of retirement on resignation. It is paradoxical to
note that employees’ pension rules provide pension for a minimum service of 20 years, whereas these
hapless, less fortunate resignees, who have put in more than 20 years of service, have been denied the
OMOP. Majority of them are ladies who took VRS due to family commitments or health issues. They
have not gone to green pasture.
In the wage negotiations held by IBA on 9-11-2023, Minutes were signed between IBA and UFBU,
agreeing to offer OMOP to their resigned employees.
As such, we once again implore upon you to offer OMOP to these retirees who had resigned for family
needs and on health issues. Their number is very less and would not entail much burden financially, on
the Corporation.
Hoping for a positive response,
With thanks and regards,
Yours Sincerely,
General Secretary
