Title: Strike call by emoloyees of RBI today demanding benefits of pension.
SHRI RUPCHAND PAL (HOOGHLY): Sir, all the functions of the Reserve Bank have been paralyzed today because all sections of employees of the Reserve Bank from the rank of the Chief General Manager down below to class IV employees have gone on mass leave. Their complaint is that the Government is negating their pension updation scheme introduced by the banks for the employees with effect from 1.11.2002. This has been done at the instance of the Finance Ministry and as a result of that the Unity Forum of the Reserve Bank which consists of employees of all sections of the Reserve Bank has resorted to the mass casual leave.
Sir, I would like to urge upon the Central Government to seriously consider their demand of the employees of the Reserve Bank and should not stand in the way of implementing the updation of the pension scheme as has been introduced by the banks.
MR. SPEAKER: Shri Sunil Khan will associate with this.
