Introductory Speech
The Program organizer and organization secretary of West India Shri Subhash Pokharkar ji made the introductory and welcome speech.
The National General Secretary of NAC elaborated the purpose and importance of the CWC meeting.
Discussion session :-
In tensed discussions were carried out during the session on various important topics related to EPS 95 pensioners. The case of increasing death rate of pensioners, meager pension amount, higher pension issue , even after EPFO's own letter dated 23.03.2017, crooked and cruel policy of EPFO against the helpless pensioners, pensioners not having any kind of medical facility and the step-motherly treatment by the Government towards EPS 95 pensioners were discussed in details.
Under the initiative of Hon. Smt Hema Malini ji, we were assured by the Hon. Prime Minister twice. Thereafter, on 08.02.2022 the meeting of the NAC representatives with the Union Finance Secretary was conducted. There was an intense discussion on the issues like non-acceptance of the demands till today, formation of non performing committees again and again by the EPFO as a delay tactic. All the leaders expressed their views on the feelings of the pensioners of their respective states, organization expansion in their state and the extent to which the future agitations can be carried out.
EPFO is trying to mislead the CBT members by playing devious tricks against pensioners. On the one hand, after receiving the contribution of 6 crore employees every month and keeping the interest with them, even after holding an amount of about 6 lakh crores in the pension fund, they are taking budgetary support from the Government for payment of minimum pension of Rs.1000. They are trying to show that EPFO does not have any money for pension increase. This blatant lie of the EPFO needs to be exposed.
Employees' representatives in the CBT were not at all successful in convincing the EPFO or the Government about the demand of the minimum pension of Rs.7500+DA (for the living of two persons), neither have been successful in getting our proposal approved by the CBT. Even after the Supreme Court's decision dated 4.10.2016 in the matter of higher pension and even after EPFO's own letter dated 23.03.2017, pensioners are not being provided their entitlements and pensioners are forced to go to courts again and again.
The EPFO is providing Rs 2000 monthly medical allowance to its employees from our funds but pensioners are being denied medical facility. Government of India is running other pension schemes smoothly but step- motherly treatment is being given to the poor EPS 95 pensioners.
Due to all these above reasons, the anger among the pensioners is at its peak.
On the strength of unity of EPS95 pensioners of the country, and by awakening the political will power of the Government, we need to increase the membership and to strengthen the district units economically. It is also need to increase the intensity of the agitations.
