Proceedings of the Annual General Body Meeting of Karnataka Postsand Telecommunications Pensioners’ Association held on 13.07.2019

introduced Shri D.Balasubramanian, ChiefGuest, Dr.C.S.Kishore Kumar, Guest of Honourand Shri.K.K.Gangadhara. Shri Krishna Raospoke about the Association entering its 25th

year, the contributions of the founders of theassociation, the successful completion of theconstruction of association’s two buildings in2012 and 2018, the help of Shri Babu, President,the generous and voluntary contribution ofmembers and non-members, including childrenand grandchildren of ex-members. He saidthat donation exceeded Rs.65 lakh, but we stillneed money for the lift and a big hall on thesecond floor for holding AGB. He appealed fordonations.

7. Shri D.Balasubramanian then inauguratedthe open session. In his speech, hecongratulated KP&TPA for constructing its ownbuildings and saluted all the members for theirgenerous donations. He said that KP&TPA didwhat the other Associations could not. He saidthat Shri S.M.Vittal Rao, during his visits toChannai encouraged AIFPA also to constructits own building. He urged the members todonate further so that lift could be providedand meetings can be held on the second floor.He also appreciated the tireless efforts ofKP&TPA in SCOVA, particularly that ofShri K.B.Krishna Rao. He said that the nextrevision of pension need not be after anotherten years. Based on the price index, pensionmust be revised by 2021. Defence pensionerswere granted OROP and Civil pensionersshould not be discriminated and there shouldbe complete parity in pension between pastand present pensioners. Referring to minimumwage recommended by the 7th CPC, he saidthat while the demand of the staff side wasfor a need based minimum pay of Rs.26,000,the CPC recommended a minimum pay ofRs.18,000 only deriving the specifications offood requirement of a worker’s family from therecommendations of Dr Wallace Aykroyd ,


noted nutritionist referred to as “Aykroydformula’. Shri Subramanian said that the normsset by the 15th ILC in 1957 recommendedwage determination for 3 consumption units ofa worker’s family, assigning 1 unit for thehusband ,0.8 unit for the wife and 0.6 unit eachfor 2 children and therefore the minimum wagedetermination on 3 consumption units is faulty.Wife being an adult should be assigned oneunit and the children also a unit higher than0.6 units and the minimum wage should beincreased to Rs.26, 000 and consequently theminimum pension to Rs.13,000. Continuingwith his speech he said that there is an urgentneed for unity amongst all pensioners’associations and they should come under oneumbrella to pursue our demand for revision ofpension every 5 years . Regarding revision ofpension of BSNL pensioners, he said thatthere are two viewpoints. One is to maintainstatus quo with simultaneous wage &pensionrevision. Another view is to delink pensionrevision from wage revision and pension revisionwith 7th CPC fitment formula. He is hopefulthat, now that the dust has settled, theGovernment will take a decision soon. Abouthis federation, he said that AIFPA was startedby a retired Postmaster General who hadbrought all Departments and cadres together.A United organization of all pensioners is theneed of the hour, as pensioners are ahomogenous category. He was honoured byShri. Babu, President. He thanked KP&TPAfor inviting him to be the Chief Guest and forhonouring him.

8. Dr.C.S.Kishore Kumar, AD, CGHS and theGuest of Honour spoke briefly. He said thatthough he hesitated to accept the invitation ashe is not used to speaking publicly, he feelsdeeply honoured by the invitation and thankedKP&TPA for the same. He expressed deepconcern over the assaults on the doctors thatare being reported from all over the country.The main reason is that people nowadays aregetting impatient, road rages which occur sofrequently can be quoted as examples.

Ambulances are not being given way. Patientsare brought in very critical condition and doctors,who are human too, are blamed and assaulted.He said that he leaves it to the people to judgehow right it is to attack hospital staff, damagethe hospital properties. He also said that CGHSdoctors are like family physicians, treating thepatients for years. Often patients ask if thereare any side effects of the medicinesprescribed. Doctors take precaution whileprescribing medicines. Consumption of junkfood & eatables sold by road side andunhygienic habits like spitting and urinating inpublic, throwing of garbage etc. also contributelargely for ill health and spread of diseases.Dr. Kishore Kumar was honoured by Shri GBabu President.

Dr.Prabhakar, ophthalmologist, OSD,CGHS spoke about the liberal measuresintroduced by CGHS recently. He was felicitatedby the President.

9. Shri K.K.Gangadhara, Kannada writer, thespecial invitee, was felicitated by theAssociation in recognition of his contributionto the Kannada literature during the past 4decades.

Shri Krishna Rao saidthat most of the PAOs including Autonomousbodies have implemented 7th CPC and therewas inordinate delay in implementing 7th CPCin respect of Railways, Defence Civilianpensioners and Pensioners of Autonomousbodies. But BSNL pensioners have not beenextended 7th CPC benefits. DoT has informedpensioners’ associations that revision ofpension can be examined only after revisionof pay of BSNL employees.

DoP has issuedorders for implementation of revised GradePay of Rs.4600 to pre-2006 pensioners.KP&TPA has collected particulars from eligiblemembers and they are being forwarded toconcerned authorities for necessary action.However, the issue of revision of pension ofpre 2006 pensioners at 50% of the last payor average emoluments on a par with post2006 pensioners is not yet resolved.

19. Shri M R Sehacahar, ALM 2347 speakingon the revised pension admissible to pre 2006grade S-12 retirees consequent upon grant ofgrade pay of Rs.4600, pointed out that thereis some difference between the figuresindicated in the table published by theassociation in Pensioners’ Champion June2019 issue and those found in the table thathe had accessed from internet. Secretaryinformed the member that KP&TPA hadpublished the tables prepared by it in Januaryand June even before DoE and DoP&PW hadpublished the revised tables and the tablespublished by KP&TPA exactly match withtables posted on the official website ofDepartment of Pension which apparently provesthat the one accessed by the member isinaccurate.
