    EditorialON NEW BANKING LICENSING

    News:

    The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Financehas recommended that Corporate houses shouldnot be given bank licences by RBI. "Bankingbeing a highly leveraged business involving publicmoney and public welfare, the Committee are ofthe considered opinion that it will be more in the

    fitness of things to keep industry and bankingseparate," the committee said in its report tabledin Lok Sabha. The standing committee alsoquestioned the rationale behind the view thatmore banks will help in achieving greater financialinclusion. It pointed out that as of March 2013,only 17% of the total branches of private sectorbanks was in rural areas.

    Views:

    Global Scene

    The media is full of reports on the imminent issue

    of licenses to form Banks by private players. The

    Regulator RBI is treading a cautious path, the

    Government of India seems to be impatient to

    release the licenses as soon as possible.

    In every issue, each stake holder is having ones

    own aspirations, objectives and approaches.

    For the RBI, the challenges faced by Banking sector

    regulators throughout the world on account of thesecond depression faced by the US banking system,

    and the tough times they had to undergo in

    bringing back the collapsed / dangling economy to

    order , would definitely occupy prime importance.

    Some of the economies, like Spain, Greece, Cyprus, one can safely argue, all the European

    countries other than Germany, are yet to be back from the brink.

    United States was the epicenter of the economic earthquake created by the fault lines of

    greed, short sightedness and corporate arm twisting. Here, after much differences of opinion

    between the Democrats and the Republicans, the process of economic easing was in force for

    around two years, the process of tapering, gradual withdrawal of the relief measures has

    started.

    Indian Perspective

    When the so called world gurus in economic science are failing miserably in evolving a

    meaningful policy with long term sustainability, what is the urgency and public utility for

    hastily introducing new banking licensing is a question being asked by every socially

    conscious citizen with economic sense.

    Everyone loves humour. Governments are no exception. A great joke was uttered when it was

    said that new banking licenses are issued to hasten the process of financial inclusion.

    The big corporate houses who have enjoyed tax reliefs worth Rs 5 lac crores even during the

    economic slowdown and after the recovery, are urging anditching to bring the poor out of

    their 66 years of poverty after independence.

    The bulls and bears in the market want to make the farmer, the carpenter and the street

    hawker financially independent.

    The Industrial houses, whose arrogant push for profits and lack of social concern, ultimately

    led to nationalization of Banks in this country in 1969 are rushing to make amends for their

    errors and make India financially included.

    The Big Bosses who exploit natural resources, rig oil, (to rig the polls?), sell to theGovernment at higher than market prices, who meddle with middlemen and middle women

    over radio(a) waves, who rig their balance sheets showing nonexistent cash, who manipulate

    the auditors, manipulate prices, bourses, have suddenly appeared as Buddhas in the eyes of

    the Government for financial inclusion.

    The Parliamentary Committee has asked only one question how many branches have been

    opened in rural areas by the existing private banks?

    Let the People Ask. Its for the Authority to Answer.

    This is the most righteous cause, right time to Ask.

    Come What May !Come May (2014) !

    The public servants of the Public sector Banks of this country take it as a National Cause to

    oppose any move to take this country back to pre-1969 days.

    CIRCULAR 5/2014 DATED 13.01.2014: CONCILIATION MEETING BETWEEN IBA &

    UFBU CALLED BY CLC

    Subsequent to issuance of Notice by UFBU for 48 Hours All India Bank Strike on the

    20th and 21st January 2014, the conciliation meeting was held today at New Delhi.

    The proceedings were conducted by Shri B.K. Sanwariya, CLC(C). The meeting was

    also attended by the officials from Department of Financial Services. IBA was

    represented by Shri M.V. Tanksale, Chief Executive Officer, Shri K. Unnikrishnan,

    Deputy Chief Executive Officer and other officials.

    The leaders of UFBU argued that the meetings are being held with much delay and

    there is no seriousness on the part of IBA to conclude the bilateral discussions at the

    earliest. UFBU also stated that the offer of 5% given by IBA is too low.

    The representatives of IBA stated that so far five rounds of meetings were held and

    considering the constraints of banking industry on account of increasing NPAs and also

    the rising pension cost, the affordable offer was given by IBA.

    The CLC (Central) suggested that another round of talks shall be held between IBA

    and UFBU to find amicable solution and further meetings should be held at regular

    intervals, say fortnightly, to settle an early wage revision. Agreeing to the suggestions

    made by CLC(C), the representatives of IBA offered to hold negotiations with the

    representatives of UFBU on 17th January 2014. UFBU has responded and said that it

    will attend the negotiation with an open mind and also conveyed that the decision on

    strike will depend on the outcome of the meeting to be held on 17th January 2014.

    We advise all our affiliates and members to go ahead with the agitational programmesas advised earlier. The outcome of the proposed meeting on the 17th January 2014

    will be informed in due course

    CIRCULAR 8/2014 DATED 22.01.2014: SALARY REVISION - UNITY IS NEED OF THE

    HOUR

    Our members are aware that the strike was to be observed from 6 a.m. of 20th

    January, 2014 till 6 a.m. on 22nd January, 2014. However the strike was deferred

    after the revised offer was made by IBA on 17th January, 2014 for 9.5% hike on pay

    slip cost and assurance by the IBA to hold negotiations on regular basis and to

    complete wage revision exercise by 30th June, 2014.

    Amidst these developments we have noticed anger, anguish and remarks of our

    members on these developments over social media like facebook, orkut and twitter.

    Let me assure all of you and particularly to DROs / Probationary Officers that we are

    aware of your expectations and aspirations which have already been incorporated inour Charter of Demand (Please go through it once again). We agree with you that

    salary of bank officers is nowhere near to the equivalent government officers and

    some of the public sector officers

    With social media playing an important role in any movement, the agitating

    statements and messages by our members can give a reflection of divide within our

    cadre. We respect the emotions of all of you and appreciate the energy levels of the

    young comrades in particular. We need these energy levels to be preserved for an

    appropriate time.

    While all your suggestions are welcome, we exhort you to channelise the energy in

    strengthening the organisation and camaraderie.

    Bharatiya Mahila Bank:

    India's first all women bank,Bhartiya Mahila Bank,is launched with an initial capital

    of Rs 1,000 crore. Coinciding with the 96th birthday of late Indira Gandhi, Prime

    Minister Manmohan Singh inaugurated the first of seven branches of the bank in

    Mumbai on November 19.

    Smt Usha Ananthasubramanian is the Chair person of the Bank. In another first, the

    lender has an all-woman, eight-member board.

    The bank with staff strength of 100 at the moment has drawn on a majority of cadre

    from state-run lenders. Besides, it has recruited 110 freshers in officer cadre.

    It also plans to add 16 more branches to its network in the next four months.

    The bank intends to fulfil its obligation of meeting 25 per cent of its branches in rural

    and unbanked areas from the next fiscal year. The aim of the bank is to achieve

    business mix (total deposit and advances) of Rs. 60,000 crore by 2020.

    The bank has launched a few women specific products and is in process of launching

    few more. Some of the special products to be launched shortly include loans for

    setting up catering services and hygienic day-care centres for children of working

    women.

    The bank has also decided its fixed deposit rates at 9 per cent for one year, almost atpar with leading public sector banks, and savings interest rate at 4.5 per cent, higher

    than what other public sector banks offer.

    CHECK-OFF FACILITY: CONTEMPT CASE BY ALL INDIA STATE BANK

    OFFICERS FEDERATION

    10thOctober, 2013; as we stood in the Court Hall No.11 of the

    Madras High Court, we had mixed feelings. Mr.Pratip Choudhuri, the former

    Chairman was to make a personal appearance in the contempt proceedings

    in the Check Off case filed by the Federation. And he appeared in person in

    the presence of the Honble Justice.

    2. However much we all tried to forget, still, images of the past came

    flashing by. On the 4th

    of October, 2012 when the Federation leaders methim amidst a huge gathering of MDs, DMDs and CGMs of all the circles, a

    pre-arranged audience to demonstrate his arrogance and dictatorship, he

    shouted and saidapologise and publish it in your website, make it public.

    The intention was to embarrass and to insult. Today, standing in the Court

    hall, when an unconditional apology was tendered in front of public, in front

    of the press and in front of the advocates present, he stood pathetically,

    vanquished. One could not help but comparing. The Law of Natural Justice

    and the Law of Nature operates and averages out. He had utilized every

    opportunity No,.. created opportunities to insult and put down people.He would call General Secretaries at branches and insult them, call their

    controllers to insult leaders, fix cameras around leaders. HR Conclaves,

    Video conferences, Webcasts in SBI Times were utilized to insult. His actions

    of punishing leaders through downgrading and increment cuts, putting

    unblemished leaders into 19(3) and hurting their innocent families,

    withholding of gratuity overlooking the payment of gratuity act, a mandatory

    regulation, erratic transfers to curtail Association activities and innumerable

    such acts which stink of cruelty and inhuman behavior, flash by like images.

    The day would begin with planning insults and end with further plans to

    attack, demoralize, putdown and humiliate people. Ask them to express

    remorse! I will dismiss all of them, I will meet you all in Supreme court

    were some of the utterances, all filled with venom. The series of violations in

    Transfer Policies and attacks on officers which have inconvenienced many

    need not be repeated. Lady Officers, who are 59 years, who were sick, who

    Justice at last.

  • 8/10/2019 Friend & Guide - Jan 2014 Issue

    31/43

    CBOA - Friend & Guide Jan 2014 Page 31

    had problems were also mercilessly transferred thousands of kilometers

    away. The word compassion and mercy had lost its significance.

    Indiscriminate transfers violating all agreed bilateral policies took place. It

    was only fear and fear and fear all the way.

    3. Such a person, arrogance personified, stood in front of the Honble

    Justice apologetically. In fact all the Officers should have been happy, but

    still, none rejoiced. We were all pained and sad. Not for the man,but for

    the Bank. Because of his ill deeds and dis-obeyance of the Court Order, he

    had put the mighty Bank into embarrassment in Public domain. The image of

    the Bank was at stake. Washing dirty linen in public could have been

    avoided, not if he loved the Bank like a mother as he used to proclaim. We

    are writing this with pain and hurt feelings.

    4. Ifhe had implemented the order of the Honble Court, it would

    have been an honourable exit for both, the Bank and the Federation.

    It would have been aWin-Win situation, which is always desirable.

    If one puts down people, he should also be prepared to be put down.

    None can presume to be greater than the Honble Court and justice.

    We did not fire a bullet. He fired it against himself. Things were carried too

    far.

    5. The proceedings were over and at the end of it all, quietly he moved

    away from the huge crowd of people, unnoticed, along with his galaxy of

    advocates, one solicitor general from Supreme Court, another additionalsolicitor general for South Zone and a Senior advocate of Chennai and his

    usual coterie, yes men, and advisors. All the money, power and influence

    could not buy justice. Alas Nature has its own way of averaging out.

    Justice may be delayed but not denied. Yes Justice was rendered. Truth

    Triumphed.

    6. For the information of members we are herewith narrating the

    sequence of the events at the Madras High Court that unfolded on 10th

    October 2013.

    7. The Check-off facility which was in vogue since 1970s made available

    to the Associations and the Unions in State Bank of India was unilaterally

    withdrawn by the bank through a letter dated 17th September 2013, on

  • 8/10/2019 Friend & Guide - Jan 2014 Issue

    32/43

    CBOA - Friend & Guide Jan 2014 Page 32

    flimsy grounds and under the pretext of availability of alternate technology

    channels. The Federation took up the issue through correspondence,

    negotiations and persuasion. We had informed the bank that the whole issue

    was sensitive and an emotional issue and had to be sorted out. But our

    fervent appeals and pleas were not respected. But the bank decided the go

    ahead and implement the unilateral withdrawal in the salary of September

    2013. The Honble High court of Madras granted a stay on the impugned

    order to the Chennai Circle Association on 23/09/2013. Thereafter on

    24.09.2013 in response to the writ filed by the Federation, the Honble court

    extended the stay to all the circles. On the 25/09/2013 when the bank tried

    to move a modification application, and vacate the stay, the Honble judge

    refused to vacate the stay. The stay order was operative. But the bank did

    not implement the stay and chose to disburse the salary without the check

    off to all the circles except the Chennai Circle, under the pretext of time

    being too short to effect changes in the HRMS. They made a prayer to the

    court that a minimum period of eight days were required to effect the

    changes and reintroduce check off in HRMS. Well! this was a statement

    made by the Bank in the Honble High Court of Chennai making a wrong

    statement under oath/affidavit could amount to perjury! All the officers in

    the bank and those working in HRMS and especially at Belapur know the

    truth, that if required, this could have been affected in the salary of

    25/09/2013. It was just a matter of few hours.

    8. Thereafter a contempt case was filed. The Honble High Court had

    summoned Mr.Pratip Chaudhuri the then Chairman and the CGM HR forPersonal appearance on 30/09/2013. But Mr Pratip Chaudhuri did not

    appear on that day. The Honble High Court summoned him again for

    personal appearance on 10thOct, 2013. Mr. Pratip Chaudhuri was therefore

    present in the court in person. He was asked to be identified. The bank

    then tendered an unconditional apology. The Senior Counsel for the bank

    assured the Honble judge that the subscription for the month of September

    2013 would be paid before 15/10/2013 by debit to the suspense account

    and credited to the respective circle Associations.

    9. M/s Vaighai , Senior Advocate Chennai High Court who argued the

    case for the Federation had presented a water tight case. In the affidavit

    filed by the Federation, the entire technical intricacies of the working of the

    HRMS, the sequence of steps involved in implementing/non implementing

  • 8/10/2019 Friend & Guide - Jan 2014 Issue

    33/43

    CBOA - Friend & Guide Jan 2014 Page 33

    the check-off, the logic on how the check off could have been implemented

    in a few hours and the efforts of the federation to sort out the issue amicably

    were highlighted. It was argued by the advocate for the federation that Mr.

    Pratip Chaudhuri cannot now represent the bank and hence has to file an

    affidavit in his personal capacity which has been accepted by the banks

    counsel in the presence of the Honble judge.

    10. Com.B.K.Awasthi, President-AISBOF, Com.Y.Sudarshan, the General

    Secretary of the Federation, Com. Thomas Franco Rajendra Dev, General

    Secretary of the Chennai Circle Association along with a number of officers

    of Chennai Circle were present.

    11. We take this opportunity to thank all the well wishers and all the

    comrades from all over the country who stood by the federation and

    extended moral support. We also thank Com. Thomas Franco Rajendra Dev

    and his team of comrades from Chennai Circle who helped in gathering

    material and putting the issues in proper perspective before the advocate.

    We express our thanks to M/S Vaighai and team for the legal support

    rendered and the excellent and logical manner in which the case was put up.

    12. Comrades, Now the situation is changing.

    The undersigned along with the President Shri.B.K.Awasthi and the

    Jt.General Secretary Shri.Ramkumar Sabhapathi had an occasion to visit

    Mumbai and greet the Chairperson Mrs.Arundathi Bhattacharya. The meeting

    which lasted for around twenty minutes was very cordial and positive. It wasdecided that we should remove all the irritants and make a new beginning.

    The 18thfloor of the corporate center was, for once , filled with fresh air , rid

    of the suffocation and nausea of tyranny . Thereafter, we met the DMD &

    CDO Shri.B.V.Chaubal, the CGM(HR) Shri.Ranjit Goswami and the DGM (IR)

    Shri.Raghav, and AGM (IR), Shri.Indranil Bhanja and decided to meet again

    shortly to sort out all the unresolved issues and move forward.

    13. We are sure that under the leadership of the new chairperson

    Mrs Arundhati Bhattacharya who has taken over the reins very recently, allsuch irritants will be removed so that the bank, the officers and the

    federation can work together in an atmosphere of cordial Industrial relations

    and channelize all the energy into productive channels. We are all aware of

    the challenges that the Bank is facing in the current global and national

  • 8/10/2019 Friend & Guide - Jan 2014 Issue

    34/43

    CBOA - Friend & Guide Jan 2014 Page 34

    economic scenario. Therefore we appeal to all our officer comrades to rise

    up to the occasion and contribute whole heartedly in taking the bank to

    greater heights.

    14. Today the Bank has very sportingly put up the news paper clip of

    Business standard on the Check-Off issue in the SBI Times. Also all the

    derogatory and negative upload has been removed. Comrades, this is a

    change in approach and a very positive one.

    15. We all hope that this will pave way for a better understanding of each

    other. We appeal to the Management that we should begin with a clean slate

    in an atmosphere of mutual Trust and team spirit.

    16. Let us all join together to pledge our support to all progressive and

    positive endeavours of the new chairperson and work like a family that State

    Bank is known for since ages and continue to remain partners in progress.

    With greetings,

    Signed by General Secretary, AISBOF

    A jobless man applied for the position of "office boy" at Microsoft.

    The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.

    "You are employed." He said." Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the

    application to fill in, as well as date when you may start."

    The man replied "But I don't have a computer, neither an email."

    I'm sorry", said the HR manager, "If you don't have an email, that means you do not

    exist and who doesn't exist, cannot have the job."

    The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in hispocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10 Kg tomato crate. He

    then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded

    to double his capital. He repeated the Operation three times, and returned home with

    $60. The man realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go every day

    earlier, and return late Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day.

    Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck and then he had his own fleet of delivery

    vehicles. 5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US.

    He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance.

    He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation

    was concluded, the broker asked him his email. The man replied, "I don't have an

    email". The broker answered curiously, "You don't have an email, and yet have

    succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had

    an email?!!"

    The man thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"

    Moral of the story:

    M1 - Internet is not the solution to your life.

    M2 - If you don't have internet, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.

    M3 - If you received this message, you are closer to being an office boy, than a

    millionaire.
