The ninth bipartite wage negotiation between the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) and the United Forum of Bank Employees Unions (UFBU) is likely to be finalised with an agreement for a hike between 24-29% for the employees of the public sector banks. The final meeting between the two parties is taking place on January 21 in Mumbai.

IBA, which is representing the government and managements of banks is reported to have agreed raise bank employees’ wage by 24% while on its part, the UFBU, an umbrella organisation of nine bank employees unions has moderated its demand to 29%.

A source, who is aware of the developments, told FE on condition of anonymity, that ‘Now it seems that both the IBA and UFBU, are likely to reach a consensus figure on what should be the gross hike in the salary of the bank employees.

Earlier the UFBU had demanded a hike not below 50% at any cost, keeping in view the 40% hike for the central government employees during the sixth pay commission.

However, the IBA told the UFBU that it was not possible to consider such a large hike as the hike in wages given to the central government employees was once in a decade, whereas for the bank employees, the wage hike was once in every five year..

When second pension option is approved it should also be extended to resignee employee also as there is no diffrence between resignation and vrs. on the contrary resignee gets lesser then pension optee. Why resignee employee are debarded from their rights?

Since pension is governed by pension regulations, and as per the said regulation resignation,etc will entail forfeiture of past service and hence not eligible for pension.

PSU BANK SALARY REVISION

abhisehk Kumar | 13-Nov-2009Reply | Forward
AT present, the PSU bank staff are getting the poorest salary . a po officer is getting basic 10000 RS equivalent to Peon in any central gov or state gon. The PSU bank pay revision is due from nov2007 . many discussion were made between UNIONS and IBA but no result came out . U can imagine for peon the minimum qualification is required is just 7th pass but in bank for PO SCALE -I officer minimum qualification is graduate whereas the salary at present is same whatever peon is getting same PO SACLE -I officer is getting so this has deeply discouraged,disappointed the BANK PO scale -I officer. And because of that many people are leaving the bank just because of poor wages. our giv shoud take very prompt action in order to increase the wages and early settlement of 9th pay revision due from NOV2007.

Pay hike in banks

Govt. is telling banking system in india has saved the country from disaster and indian banking system is stable but when comes to salary revision,central govt. employee never demanded but got much, that is not the problem if you want to get more service then you will have to pay more.all the social responsibility has to be done by the bank within limited manpower from 9.00am to 10.00pm. if there is alternative for living than there would be nobody to work in the bank.in future also no body will join the bank to do the dirty job with low salary. all the cmds are working for pay revision but no result is there they have to think that the people who are trade union leaders they are only Scale-I to Scale-III but revision is done by them upto Scale-VIII, so they are getting the best with the effort of the below ranked officers but they are not doing anything but oiling the govt for more promotion this is the fate of our bank employees. so think of them.
