Disinvestment of LIC – Selling National Assets.

10 Monday Feb 2020

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Disinvestment, PSU

≈ Leave a comment

The announcement in the Central budget that shares of LIC will be sold is an attack on the prime PSU in the country. LIC which was started in 1956 with Rs. 5 crore as capital is the biggest earning PSU in the country. It’s service are excellent and market share is above 70%.

The argument of the Centre that only loss making PSUs are being sold is exposed as utter lie. BPCL, LIC are very much profitable and giving handsome dividend to the government. The united forum of LIC employees as well as oil companies are on the struggle path against the government’s attack on the PSUs.

We extend our support and solidarity.

The Campaign of meeting the M.P.s for taking up the issue of Pension Revision with Government is getting fine response from the Circle, District and Branch units. It is reported that 100 M.P.s of various political parties have already been met, who have assured the AIBDPA representatives that they will take up the case with the government. One of the M.P.s Shri Rupin Bora from Assam, who is also the State Congress President, has raised the issue in the Parliament with the important points and demanded immediate Pension Revision for BSNL Pensioners. We expect many others also to take up the matter.

Central Govt has issued orders providing facility of Life Certificates from the doorstep of pensioners. The Press Statement in this connection is given below:

Press Information Bureau
Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions
30-January-2020

Facility of Life Certificate by banks from the doorstep of the pensioners

The Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare (DoPPW), has taken a landmark step to make life easier for senior citizens to submit their Annual Life Certificate for continued pension. The Department vide its circular no. 12/4/2020-P&PW(C)-6300, dated 17.01.2020 has issued directions to all the Pension Disbursing Banks to send SMSs/Emails to all their pensioners on 24th October, 1st November, 15th November and 25th November every year reminding them to submit their Annual Life Certificates by 30th November.

The Department for stricter monitoring in order to ensure that no pensioners are left out, directed all Pension Disbursing Banks to make an exception list as on 1st December every year of those pensioners who fail to submit their Life Certificate and issue another SMS/Email to them for submitting the Life Certificate. The bank in addition will also ask such pensioners through SMS/Email as to whether they are interested in submission of Life Certificate through a chargeable doorstep service, the charge not exceeding Rs.60/-.

shall now be duty bound to submit a report to DoPPW in the month of January, February & March respectively, indicating the total number of pensioners who have not given their Life Certificate along with a breakup of the Certificates submitted physically and through Digital means.

The above is a landmark step from the side of the Central Government showing due care for pensioners. This step is in addition to the order issued recently dated 18.07.2019 vide which all pensioners age 80 years and above have been given an exclusive window to submit their Life Certificate w.e.f. 1st October every year instead of 1st November every year.
