A BREAK THROUGH IN THE STALEMATE - STATE BANK OF INDIA PENDING CASES OF REVISION AND ARREARS.
There were many cases of non-revision of pension to family pensioners in State Bank of India
Through C P P C, Chennai. We had represented many cases but there was no response. Then, as there was no way left out, we were constrained to use the tool of Right to Information Act.(RTI)
This action of preferring RTI yielded the result. Smt. Gamini chandra Pushpam w/o Late Sub.Kovilpitchaiwas being paid the Minimum pension of Rs.3500/-w.e.f 1-1-2006. We Noticed the same during our pensioners meet on 25-6-2009 and we took up the case with SBI, Srivaikuntam branch and CPPC, Chennai and the correspondence was going on since Sep 2009.
Now , we applied under the RTI act on 30-6-2010 , and it yielded the fruit. Smt.Gamini is credited with an arrears amounting to Rs.108054.
Her particulars are :
