*Our demand is updation of pension

*Our demand is updation of pension.

It is our right.*

IBA is not ready to discuss the retirees issues with AIBRF.

We are demanding this for a long time.

As all know, we were pursuing with UFBU to take up our issues and we have succeeded in certain cases like enhancement of ex-gratia to pre-1986 retirees, family pension enhancement to common 30% of the last drawn pay by the deceased employee, 100% DA neutralisation to pre-November 2002 retirees etc.

Now our main demand is updation of pension. Every effort is being taken by AIBRF to achieve it early.

*We can criticise UFBU pointing out many things. But that may not bring Pension Updation.*

As responsible office bearers and CC members, we should not create a ground for damaging our relationship with UFBU.

*We should understand our strength and weakness also.*

We know that even the judiciary was not in favour of 100% DA neutralisation demand of retirees. But got it by the outside efforts of AIBRF with the support of UFBU.

*Leaders should not make it a fashion to criticise anything and everything.

We should not flare up and create confusion in the minds of members by our words and deeds.*
