AIBEA Demands Old Pension Scheme in 12th Bipartite Settlement for public sector bank employees. The union have demanded for the restoration of the old pension scheme for all the employees who joined after 2007.
It is also included in charter of demands for 12th BPS Settlement which will be in effect for five years from November 1st.
The Old Pension Schemes is already restored in the states like Punjab, Chhattisgarh etc. The unions also said that the high inflation was eroding the real wages for employees.
“…while there is a scheme for compensation against periodical price rise through payment of DA (dearness allowance), the unprecedented price spiral in recent years in light of the uncontrollable inflation is seriously eroding the real wage and wages are far lagging behind the actual price rise,” the note said, adding that compensation has to match up to this rise, which is the reason the unions have asked for an increase in wages and improvement in the DA formula.
