Improve Pension Scheme in banking sector on the lines of Central

  employees,
2)  Uniform D.A. neutralization,
3)  Improvement in commutation,

As per reports,momentum has  already been  gained in good number of

Every bank pensioner should   extend all support and move ahead  to continue the fight for   justice.

  3. It is a good beginning. Service Unions should always, as a matter of policy, take up the cause of Retirees. We are all duty bound to support
    UFBU in all its action programme. Yesterday's strike was a total success. UFBU meets at Bangalore on 1oth August to take stock of the situation. All India Bank Retirees' Federation which is an umbrella organaisation for all the Retirees' Associations should effectively cordinate with UFBU to achieve the long pending issues of the retirees.
