The United Forum of Reserve Bank Officers and Employees has exhorted members to go on mass casual leave on September 5 and 6 to press the long-pending demand for pension updation and grant of new options.

Prior to this, the United Forum will observe a gate demonstration across RBI centres all over the country on August 20, followed by submissions of memorandum to the respective Regional Directors on August 27.

The demands also include one more option for pension to CPF (Contributory Provident Fund) retainers and allow CPF/APF (Additional Provident Fund) for those recruited from 2012.

The United Forum had met in Mumbai on August 3 after the conclusion of a mass signature campaign and submission of the signatures thus collected to the Regional Directors.

The signatures collected from all over India were scheduled to be submitted to the Governor, who hasn’t given his assent for a meeting with the office-bearers of the United Forum.

This is what led representatives of various RBI officer/employee unions to take stock of the situation and chalk out a future course of agitation culminating in the proposed decision to observe mass casual leave for two days.

Among those who attended the meeting were Ajay Sinha, Rajdeep Chakrabarty, Keshav Jagtap, Chitra Patankar, CM Paulsil, MD Sawant, Ajit Subhedar, Xavier Lobo, Pradip Kadam, Samir Wadkar, SV Mahadik, RM Palanade and BF Yerwankar.
