Letter No. 2016/180 Date: 25/11/2016
The Chairman,
Indian Banks’ Association,
Mumbai.
Respected Sir,
DECISION OF DEMONETIZATION – THE EXEMPLARY JOB DONE BY
BANK OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
NEED TO REVIEW THE ISSUE OF COMPENSATION
At the outset, we convey our sincere thanks and gratitude to IBA, the
representative body of Banks, for recognition of hardships and inconveniences
faced by the Bank Officers and Employees and appreciations showered on them
for the excellent performance in the operational work aftermath of the decision of
the Government to demonetize the high denomination currency notes. It is a
known fact that the entire work force, including those working in Administrative
Offices, was shifted to branches for successful implementation of the decision.
Our Officers wholeheartedly came up to the expectations by toiling hard, even
overnight for many days including working on 12th and 13th November, 2016
which were otherwise holidays. In some States, even the notified holidays were
also cancelled. The position of Officers working in Currency Chests and Branches
attached to them has been the worst.
Though we draw the satisfaction that our Officers worked beyond their capacities
without making any pre-condition for due compensation, it is in the fitness of
things that Management considers to compensate the extra ordinary burden
shouldered by the supervisory cadre so amicably. Award Staff has been paid
200% of the wages as overtime as per the Settlement not only for coming on
holidays but also for late sitting. Many bank managements decided to pay
compensation of Rs.3000/- to Officers for coming on holidays, whereas State
Bank of India and its Associates are paying Rs.6000/- for the same. SBI
management even decided to pay Rs.3000/- per day for late sitting on working
days also. Some other banks also decided to compensate Officers for late sitting
in their banks. We really appreciate the goodwill gesture of the Managements of
these Banks. But the variance in compensation to Officers of other banks is not
only against the principles of ‘equal work equal pay’ but is leading to
dissatisfaction amongst the Officers working in the member banks of IBA.
We would also like to submit that Officers, who are supervisory staff, should
under no situation, be treated as inferior to the workmen working under them
and their compensation amount should not be less than 200% of overtime being
paid to the senior most clerical staff. We, therefore, request you to review your
earlier stand with regard to compensation for late sitting and working on Sundays
and Holidays and advise all the member banks to compensate Officers on the
basis of request made as above. We strongly feel that your kind view on the issue
will enhance the morale of the Officers who have worked hard despite all
constraints even at the cost of their health. Your favourable decision in this regard
will also go a long way in increasing the productivity in the banking industry
needed for continuity of the process of demonetization and steps required to be
taken by the banking industry with regard to deployment of funds etc. Needless
to say that removing discrimination should be the primary objective of any
Management for creating healthy working environment for the precious human
assets of any organisation.
Looking forward for a prompt and justified action in this regard.
With regards,
Faithfully yours,
(HARVINDER SINGH)

Dear Sir,

Re : REQUEST TRANSFER OF JMG SCALE-I OFFICERS INCLUDING SCALE I
OFFICERS IN NORTH EASTERN REGION

The bank has conducted interview process of AIS promotion for JMG Scale I officers and the place of posting and date of reporting of selected candidates will be declared shortly.In this regard we would like to request you that

1. To consider the request transfer applications of Scale I officers who have completed 3 years stay as on date.

2. To consider request transfer of Scale I officers who have completed 2 years stay in North Eastern Region and now eligible for request transfer in terms of transfer policy.

3. We understand that one of the batch of AIS was posted in January 2013 and entitled for request transfer in January 2016 since as per the policy, this batch officers have already submitted their request transfer applications & will be eligible by the time postings of AIS are finalised. We request you to consider the said batch for request transfer as a one-time measure considering their hardship.

4. Further the Scale I officers seeking request transfer from one zone to another zone and one region to another region who have completed 3 years of stay in the zone/region, may be considered for transfer along with this process.

The above step of the management will motivate the officers.

Yours sincerely,

(S.B.RODE)

To all Units & Members
WE ARE HEREUNDER REPRODUCING THE BELOW MENTIONED CIRCULAR

Circular GS/2015/21 03.12.2015
TO ALL OFFICERS

Dear Friends,

We have apprised you with the sorry and deplorable state of affairs prevailing in the bank and also the growing unrest and resentment amongst officers of the Bank; vide federation circular no. 19 dated 18th November 2015.
The atrocious amendments to the transfer norms for officers brought in by Management recently and subsequent transfers of officers in scale I, II and III by central office selectively as a sequel to the amendments, a sort of fear psychosis is being deliberately created in the minds of officers in lower scales. Terrorize atmosphere is created by threats, unilateralism, unconcern approach for issues and problems of Officers, non-decision on pending issues, indiscriminate violation of policies in transfers, vindictive actions against Officers and Officer Bearers. As a result we silt, the management at the Regional and Zonal level feels emboldened and they are found to be resorting to all types of threatening tactics and intimidating measures against the officers and branch managers. We have been receiving increasing number of reports regarding instances of calling of officers and branch managers on Sunday's and holidays either for meetings or recovery camps, threatening and transferring Officers for not attending office on holidays, indiscriminate issue of memos even for not achieving targets and charge sheets, conducting and concluding DE cases in a brazen manner and awarding disproportionate punishments.
There have also been instances where so called agents / middlemen of RMs are allowed to participate in the meetings of branch managers and deliberately targeting those branch managers not toeing the lines of such middlemen in the matter of sanction / disbursement of loans and advances, as well force to sanction loans against credit policy of the Bank. Thus very unhealthy practices are being followed in branches with the connivance of higher authorities, which we ultimately add to the already alarming NPA position of the Bank but no any RMs/ZMs are exercising their delegate powers regularly to sanction loans though they have less risk under cover Regional Credit Committees and Zonal Credit Committees. There have also been instances where Regional / Zonal Managers are found to be transferring officers and branch managers at their sole whims and fancies under the garb of so called management exigencies. Likewise the disciplinary machinery in the region and zones is being grossly mis-utilised to settle the personal scores with officers and branch managers.
Thus very fearful and insecure atmosphere is created by the management in Regions and Zones and it is increasingly becoming difficult for officers and Branch Managers to discharge their duties efficiently and satisfactorily. Added to this is the serious shortage of staff both award and officers in branches precluding the Branch Managers from discharging their duties
.2..

except with lot of difficulties and practical problems. At certain centers, it is challenging even to complete the daily routine at the branches for want of adequate staff.

As our patience and perseverance is put to an ordeal and since we are finding the situation to be extremely intolerant, we cannot allow ourselves to remain mere as a silent spectator and allow the situation to drift to become worse from the present bad one.
The organizational action alone is the need of the hour and the medicine for the treatment of the malady that has been plaguing not only bank but also its officers.
The ensuing Executive Committee meeting to be held on 10th & 11th instant will seriously deliberate on this burning problem of the bank and finalize the action programme to be initiated immediately in the larger interest of the bank and its officers, which will be advised to all units for information and implementation.
We therefore request you to gear up the organizational machinery at your disposal and prepare yourself to attend the clarion call to jump into action with sole aim to bring the management back its senses so that the interest of the bank could be protected and dignity of the officers could also be defended.
