MILITARY VETERANS 

TO BANKS :

YOU TAKE OUR MONEY BUT DO NOT PAY US ON TIME  

(Sivasankar Vidyasagar)

Many of us Veterans may not worry whether pension as per OROP comes in Mar 2016 or 2026 and survive without it, but think of old aged widows in remote villages who are given meagre pension of Rs 3500 + DR, (We pay more to your drivers), and go all the way to the nearest ECHS Polyclinic 300 kms away, (From Adilabad to Secunderabad), only to be told that there are no medicines. 

Reason: CDA Secunderabad is the CFA who does not sign on the papers for Local purchase.

Unless all of us individually write to Chairmen of Banks from where we draw pension, they will remain in deep slumber. As offiicers we can do it. In this way we can help JCOs, OR and Family Pensioners living in villages and far off places where they do not have internet facility. 

   

SBI has got about 60% of 21 lakh pensioners. They draw Rs 65 per pensioner per month from Govt of India. It works out to a tidy sum of Rs 98.28 Crores per annum ( = 21 lakhs x 0.6 x 65 x 12) for all the pensioner paid through them.

RBI has instructed paymment of interest for delayed payments, but the order is only in spirit and never in words.

Let us flood the CMDs of various banks with CC to the Governor RBI.
