MEETING OF CENTRAL GOVT PENSIONERSMEETING OF CENTRAL GOVT PENSIONERSMEETING OF CENTRAL GOVT PENSIONERSMEETING OF CENTRAL GOVT PENSIONERSMEETING OF CENTRAL GOVT PENSIONERS

AT HYDERABAD ON 28.7.2012AT HYDERABAD ON 28.7.2012AT HYDERABAD ON 28.7.2012AT HYDERABAD ON 28.7.2012AT HYDERABAD ON 28.7.2012Addressing a largely attended meeting of

Central Govt Pensioners on 28.7.2012 at

Hyderabad, Shri S.C. Maheshwari, Secy, Bharat

Pensioners’ Samaj appealed to Central Govt

Pensioners all over the country to make the coming

October 11 Dharna of Bharat Pensioners’ Samaj

at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi a great success by

participating in it in large numbers to exert pressure

on the Govt of India to concede the pending

demands at the earliest. He explained that the pre-

2006 pensioners’ court case for modified parity

pending before the Delhi High Court was posted

before a New Bench for hearing on 29.11.2012 and

the Court will hear the case afresh. He explained at

length the rationale behind several demands such

as 50% DR merger, appointment of VII CPC, raising

of FMA to `1200/- per month, restoration of

commuted portion of pension after 12 yrs, etc. He

said that while prices of essential commodities went

up by as much as 152% from 1.1.2006, the Central

Govt employees and Pensioners got only 65% as

DA/DR and thus there was great erosion in the real

value of their pensions and the Govt should act

quickly to protect the pensioners. Shri Maheswari

also explained why BPS was holding National

Conventions of Rly Pensioners and said that Rly

Pensioners constitute more than 50% of Central

Govt Civilian Pensioners and their increasing

participation was necessary for further strengthening

Central Govt Pensioners’ movement in the country.

Shri Maheshwari explained the recent

achievements such as re-opening of RELHS for

new members to join, introduction of smart card

facility to RELHS members in Metros and Zonal

Hqrs etc. He said BPS was also pursuing the

issue of extension of FMA & RELHS membership

to secondary family pensioners and revision of

ex-gratia rates of pre 1986 CPF / SRPC (C)

beneficiaries and their families. Shri Maheshwari

had also explained the efforts being made by BPS

to further the cause of not only pensioners in all

sectors but also senior citizens at large in co-

ordination with All India Senior Citizens

Confederation and International Federation of

Ageing, Toronto, Canada. Senior Citizens in the

country who constitute 10% as on date will grow

in numbers in the years to come and emerge as

a strong vote bank which no future Government

could.afford to ignore, thundered Shri Maheshwari.

Presiding over the meeting, Shri M.

Somasekhara Rao, Vice-President BPS, Southern

Zone appealed to Central Govt. Pensioners across

the country to strengthen the hands of BPS in its

endeavours to achieve their just demands. He

deplored the retrograde approach of VI CPC which

denied same fitment benefit to pre-2006 pensions

as granted to employees thus giving rise to wide

disparities in pensions of pre and post 2006

pensioners. He demanded that the principle of parity

as enunciated by V CPC be carried forward to do

justice to all past pensioners. He also demanded

revision of wages and pensions at least once in 5

years under the Central Govt as in State Govts and

PSUs. He also demanded the Govt to grant additional

pension from 65 years of age onwards as the rate of

pension remained static over years and the pensions

have not been keeping pace with the fast changes

taking place in the country’s economy and rising

living standards. It was the bounden duty of the Govt,

nay a constitutional mandate to ensure, that the

pensioners were able to live in reasonable comfort

along with their families in the evenings of their lives

said Mr. Somasekhara Rao and appealed to the

Govt to be enlightened and forward looking in its

approach in meeting the demands of its past

employees. Shri Somasekhara Rao thanked BPS

affiliated Central Govt and Rly Pensioners Assns in

Andhra Pradesh for together contributing nearly ̀ 1.30

lakhs towards the legal fighting fund and hoped that

more contribution would come in the next few days.

The meeting called by Central Govt. Pensioners’

Forum, A.P. was also addressed by S/Shri P.

Chakrapani Rao, M. Chandra Mouli, K. Malikarjuna

Rao, D.A.N. Sarma and others. While Shri D.S.

Sastry, Working President of the Forum welcomed

the gathering, Shri D.Subba Rao, Secretary of the

Forum proposed a vote of thanks. Earlier Prof. A.

Balakishan of Osmania University honoured Shri

Maheshwari by presenting him a shawl.

The meeting held in Madhusudhan Nagar

Community Hall, Malkajgiri, Hyderabad was

attended by about 300 pensioners from the twin

cities and neighbouring places.

Letter No : BPS/SG/012/1 dt : 21.07.2012from Bharat Pensioners Samaj to Comrade

Shiv Gopal Mishra ji, Genl Secy, AIRF.Sub : Discrimination against Women In

Indian Railways & denial offundamental right to health care to RlyFamily Pensioners’ thereby causingviolation of Article 21 of the constitution

Widowed / divorced / unmarried dependent

daughters of Rly. Epmployees/ Pensioners are

included in the definition of family members & get

family Pension on their turn in all the Central

Government departments including Railways.

Such family Pensioners & their minor kids are

included in the definition of family. While Ministry

of Health & Family Welfare & the Ministry of

Defence are affording health care facilities to such

of the family Pensioners through C.G.H.S. &

E.C.H.S. Indian Railways have denied Health care

facility as well as Fixed Medical allowance in lieu

of OPD facility to these Family Pensioners.

Para 612 (2) iii of Indian Railway Medical

Manual 2000 debars Widowed / divorced /

unmarried dependent daughters Family

Pensioners from joining ‘Retired Railway

Employees Liberalized Health Scheme-1997’

M/O Personnel, PG & Pensions which is the

Nodal Ministry for pensioners has, vide their No

4/6/2011-P&PW-(D) dt 26.08.2012 (copy

enclosed), has clarified wrt to FMA that Widowed/

divorced / unmarried dependent daughters in

receipt of Family Pensioners being Family

Pensioners are covered by the extant instructions

on the subject.

It is clarified here that Fixed Medical Allowance

is permitted only to those who are eligible to join

one or the other Health Scheme for the retirees.

As the denial of health care to Widowed /

divorced/ unmarried dependent daughters in receipt

of Rly Family Pension is not only discrimination

against Women but also infringe their Rjght to life

under Article 21 of the Constitution. Our

representations to the Rly. Board could not yield

any response. Therefore, you are requested to

urgently take up the case with MS, Rly Board to

help these fully deserving Pensioners.

With warm regards, Truly yours,

Shyam Sunder, Secy Genl

Since this is a case of discrimination on the

basis of gender and involves infringement of citizen’s

Rights under the Constitution of India, three letters,

on the same lines as above, have been sent to :-

1. Smt. Mamta Sharma, Chairperson, National

Commission for Women, New Delhi.

2. Shri K G Balakrishnan, Chairman, Human

Rights Commission, New Delhi

3. Shri Vinay Mittal, Chairman, Rly Board, New Delhi.


UNITY IS STRENGTH (title page)BPS owes to its Affiliates, members &

supporters the successful culmination ofthe struggle for the following:

In Nov 2009, BPS submitted representations

to Rly Board seeking several facilities for Rly

pensioners. From Jan 2010, onwards upto June

2010, we represented in person to Member Staff,

DGRHS & other concerned officers explaining the

rationale & other implications. Then to press for the

just demands, organized First ever National

Convention of Rly Pensioners Assns at New Delhion 05.07.2010 followed by Memoranda to different

authorities, RTI queries & rejoinders. To achieve

consensus and to muster strength organized 2nd

National Convention of Rly Pensioners at S’bad &

3rd National Convention at NJP. Positive results have

started showing up though not to desired extent.

Out of 42 demands so far following could be achieved.

Now with the active support of esteemed sister

Organizations like AIFPA Chennai, NFRP Palakkad

& encouraging response from Assns for the 4th

National Convention on 09.02.2013 at Nagpur, better

and quicker results can well be expected.

Benefits achieved so far:i) Open-ended RELHS -97

ii) Extension of Smart Card System to all RELHS

Beneficiaries all over India

iii) Cashless Treatment in all Recognized Hospitals

iv) Guidelines to liberalize the system for

Recognition of Hospitals

v) Redefining Conditions of Emergency for

treatment in Private Hospitals

vi) Engagement of retired Rly doctors in Rly

Hospitals to meet shortage of doctors

vii) Inclusion of pensioners, representatives in

Sub: Withdraw New Pension Scheme

Sir, Kindly refer to your representation dt

24.05.2012 on the above cited subject and to say

that the Government of India, vide Notification dt

22.12.2003, introduced the New Pension System

(NPS) for all the new entrants, except Armed

Forces, entering into Central Government service

on or after 01. 01. 2004.

2. NPS was introduced on account of a

paradigm shift from the existing defined-benefit

(DB) pension system to a new defined-contribution

(DC) based pension system. So far as the amount

of minimum return under NPS is concerned, it

depends upon the amounts contributed, the

accretion of pension fund over the accumulation

period and returns on the accumulations. In order

to protect the interests of the subscribers to the

NPS and to optimise the risk-return profile under

the NPS, Government has prescribed investment

pattern for investment of pension funds.

3. In so far as the terminal benefits are

concerned, an employee on attaining the age of

superannuation is required to compulsorily invest

a minimum of 40% of his / her pension wealth to

purchase a life annuity from a life insurance

company. The remaining pension wealth may

be withdrawn in lump sum or in a phased

manner. The employee may also choose to

invest up to 100% of the pension wealth to

purchase the annuity. The amount of pension

would depend upon quantum of pension wealth

accumulated over the period, percentage of

annuitisation and the type of pension chosen by

the employee at the time of superannuation.

Further, Government have also (aid down

guidelines for granting additional relief in the event

of untimely death of Government employees

covered under NPS, on a provisional basis to be

adjusted against payments to be made under

finalised guidelines.

4. You will kindly appreciate that the

Government has taken adequate precautions to

protect the interests of the NPS subscribers. I

assure that all legitimate issues of the employees

in this regard will be adequately addressed.

Prunes best for treating constipation

Prunes are more effective, safe and palatable

than psyllium to treat mild to moderate

constipation, which affects one in five people. The

study, published in Alimentary Pharmacology and

Therapeutics, found 6 gm of fibre from 50 grams

of prunes(about 5-6) eaten twice a day was more

effective in treating constipation than 11 grams of

psyllium (1 tablespoon psyllium) taken in water

twice a day.

Unlike psyllium that has few nutritional

benefits, prunes or dried plums are loaded with

anti-ageing, anti-oxidants and are a rich source

of micronutrients involved in bone metabolism

including potassium, vitamin K, and boron, which

makes them a healthy option for looking for a

natural, food based solution to over-the-counter

laxatives and fibre supplements.

Rajesh Khanna continued to give hits

periodically—with a lot of poorly judged films in

between – but with rising unrest from trade unions

and political turmoil in different parts of India, the

mood was becoming more grim and viewers

seemed to prefer the angry young man character

that Bachchan essayed so well. A Prem Kahani

or a Mehbooba could not stand up to the onslaught

of the intensity of Deewaar and Sholay. Though

Khanna showed he could still deliver in emotional

roles (Avishkaar), his era was over.

In the 1980s, he had a lease of life with films

like Avtaar, but it was clear that his days were

numbered. With his girth growing in all directions,

his mannerisms lost their magic – the old fans

had grown up and the younger audiences had found

new stars.

A political stint followed as a Congress MP,

but he made no impact. Every now and then there

was some news of a new film, but no one

remembers any of them, barring an Aa Ab Laut

Chalen. He still had the twinkle, but little else. After

that he kept a low profile.

The Havells fan ad was a surprise, Though more

a shameless way to exploit his one-time stardom

rather than pay him a tribute, it brought him back

to public attention. Now mummies and even

grandmommies can tell their children, “This is the

man I loved when I was your age.’

THE ORIGINAL SUPERSTAR

The man you could take

home to your motherBY SIDHARTH BHATIA

To anyone younger than 35, it would be very

difficult to explain that the gaunt, bearded figure

appearing in an advertisement had once captivated

the entire nation. The ad, somewhat tackily, puns

on the word “fans” to evoke memories of a time

when Rajesh Khanna was the darling of film -goers.

That is actually an understatement - he had a

fanatic fan following, the likes of which has never

been seen before or since.

Khanna, who died in Mumbai after a pro longed

illness, was the undisputed king of Hindi cinema

through the early to mid-1970s. It was not just the

kind of fandom that follows a film star, but

something over and beyond. He was mobbed

wherever he went women wrote letters to him in

blood and then “married’ his picture, and every

gesture and outfit he wore was copied. Rumours

routinely floated about that he was suffering from a

life-threatening disease, mainly because of his roles

in several films (Andaz, Safai, Anand, Namak

Haraam), where he died in the end.

Khanna (real name Jatin) was the son of a

middle - class business family. He won a Filmfare

contest in 1965, which got him a role in a G.P.

Sippy film, Raaz (though Aakhri Khat was released

earlier, in 1966). The film was not a hit, though he

got noticed enough to be offered some more films

like Baharon ke Sapne and Khamoshi.

In 1969, his film Aradhana, in which he had a

double role, opened to an ecstatic reception. It

had a story replete with emotion and drama, lovely

locations, and great music. The songs became

huge hits and a new screen pair - Khanna and

Sharmila Tagore - was born.

The 1960s had been the decade of technicolor

confections set in Kashmir and other picture-

postcard perfect destinations. Most of the decade

was dominated by stars like Rajendra Kumar,

Shammi Kapoor and Dev Anand, all known for

romancing their

heroines with aplomb.

The stories were light

and frothy; the

meaningful cinema of

the 1950s was long

gone. All these three

stars, however, were

fading by the end of

the decade and there

was no heir apparent

in sight; Khanna, ever

so plump, fair-complexioned and with a sweet,

innocent look (in short, quite the Punjabi boy) came

as a gust of fresh air that swept the audiences

away. He had a cross-generational appeal and was

loved by children, teenagers, adults, mothers as

well as fathers. Young men copied his hairstyle,

young girls swooned over him. When he married a

barely 17 Dimple Kapadia, millions of hearts were

broken. All this in the pre-lnternet, pre-television

era. He was a darling of the film press and the first

issue of Stardust had him on the cover in 1971.

His was a soft, non-threatening personality that

was fully exploited by his directors in films like Do

Raaste, Kati Patang, Haathi Mere Saathi and Amar

Prem. What many do not adequately appreciate

is that he also acted in taut films like Ittefaq and

The Train, showing he was capable of doing more

than crinkling his eyes and tilting his head.

His box-office success rate was phenomenal -

in the six year period between 1969 and 1974,

Khanna had 21 bona fide hits and many average

grossers. Each one of them had super songs and

lines that movie-goers can recall even today. The

riff on Babumoshai in the Havells ad references

Anand, where Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan

came together for the first time; the latter put in a

creditable performance that did not go unnoticed,

though it was Khanna in the eponymous role who

won the audience’s heart and sympathy. By the

time they acted together in Namak Haraam in

1973, Bachchan, too, was on his way to the top.

The advent of Bachchan did not result in

Khanna’s immediate decline, but by then there was

a noticeable shift in audience tastes.(Cont @ p.33)

THE MODIFIED PARITY CASEAll our esteemed members, friends & well

wishers are anxious to know the develop-ments in the above mentioned court case

which is now pending in Delhi High Court .

To recall the case, the Full Bench CAT Prin-

cipal Bench decision of 01.11.2011 in the case

filed by S-29 pensioners is a historic one. Itsaid, inter alia, that “....... the clarificatory OM

dt 03.10.2008 and further OM dt 14.10.2008

....... and OM dt 11.02.2009 ....... are requiredto be quashed and set aside, which we

accordingly do. Respondents are directed to

re-fix the pension of all pre-2006 retirees w.e.f.1.1.2006, based on the resolution dt

29.08.2008 and in the light of the observa-

tions made above”.

This judgement has been challenged by

the Union Government in the High Court ofDelhi. A two-judge bench heard the case on

04.05.2012 & 07.05.2012. [A brief account

of the proceedings, as recorded by our Ad-vocate, was published in BHARAT PEN-

SIONER, May, 2012 @ pp.4-8]. However, the

case was adjourned.

On 17.07.2012, a new Bench was consti-

tuted by Hon’ble High Court. It is learnt thatanother group of pensioners (belonging to

S-30 retirees) wanted their plea for their

‘parity’ appeal to be clubbed with this casebut the Hon’ble Court rejected their plea. The

case was adjourned to 29.11.2012 when it

would be heard de novo.


Collect `̀̀̀̀ 10 Lakhs for Legal

Fighting Fund (LFF)Members are aware that the Govt of India hasfiled Appeal in Delhi High Court against the

unanimous judgement of the CAT-Principal

Bench - dated 01.11.11 in respect of “ModifiedParity” for pre-2006 pensioners, family pension-

ers. The case may go upto the Supreme Court.

We have, therefore, engaged a Senior Advo-cate from the Supreme Court to intervene on

behalf of the pre-2006 pensioners. This involves

expenditure of several lakhs of rupees. BharatPensioners Samaj has, therefore given a call

for collection of ` 10 Lakhs. Several Federa-

tions (e.g. NFRP, Palghat) and Assns (e.g.RSCWS Society, Chandigarh) have assured to

participate with substantial contributions. Many

individuals have sent donations of 5,000 &above. Many others sent thousands!

What about YOU? If you have already sent

a donation, thanks! If not, send it now. All af-filiated Associations are making special ef-

fort to collect funds straight away for this noble

cause. If your Assn has somewhat laggedbehind, do take up the challenge now.


MORNING RISERS HAPPIER

THAN NIGHT OWLS

Morning people are happier, healthier and more

satisfied with life overall, while night owls are more

prone to social jet lag, a new study has found.

The study, conducted at the University of Toronto,

also suggested older adults are more likely to be

morning larks and they report greater positive

emotion than younger adults.

“This could be because they are getting better

sleep since they are naturally morning people. It

could not only make them feel more alert, but

actually impact their immune system,” said Renee

Biss from the University. The study was published

in the journal Emotion.

STRESS CAN BE MINIMIZEDby - Dr. Bimal Chhajer

We all have problems and these lead to stress.

Stress, when present continuously, leads to all the

lifestyle related diseases like high Blood Pressure,

Diabetes, heart disease, sleeplessness, acidity,

asthma, allergy, spondylosis, depression and so on.

Every one of us has stresses and problems and they

are increasing as we are staying in a much more

complex world. Population is increasing, space

shortage is there, competition is also in the increase,

there is no time, people have become selfish, there is

a pressure from the family to excel, society also gives

pressure to try to match the others. Life without stress

is impossible, but stress can be minimized. We must

identify the source of every stress, analyse them and

know how to handle them. Once we know the external

events which cause stress it becomes easy to handle

them. For proper handling we need to use our analytical

mind, adjust our mind set and then act to reach an

amicable solution. Once I just sat alone for four- five

hours a few years back and tried to just count what may

be the problems in one person’s life, I just jotted them

and then tried to categorise them. I realised stresses

come from our relations with other fellow individuals,mismatching of reality with our expectations, ourmistakes of the past, bad health and badluck. This

will cover almost 99% of our problems.

Now what are the solutions : The answer is “I do

not know exactly”. There is no straight cut solution. In

many places we probably can not change anything but

have to accept these situations. Many of them we can

try to modify, rectify the extent may vary from 10-90%. In

some, where we are not concerned we may decide to

ignore, avoid or be indifferent.

One major problem that is making everyone suffer

is “increasing desire”. The desire of having more. There

is a term called “Affluenza” which means “people are

looking for more money, possessions, fame, better

physical and social appearance”. But there is no limit

to these kind of desires and people are continuously

under stress to fulfil this incessant desire.

When I tried to think the problems of India and its

people in a broad way I found some interesting points.

Please see the list and if you can write to us more

points about these please write back to us.
