Wage Revision

Dear Maha.
 

If there is a clause in the memorandum of settlement of the Wage revision that it is applicable to the employees those who are on rolls on 8.10.2010 and the date of your last employement in your Termination letter is 8.10.2010, why can't you challange the deniel of wages?

Any how you can proceed only once get a proper confirmation about the conditions of the Wage Settlement and your Termination letter

Hi all. I am also in the same boat. I was working with ECGC and resigned in April 2010. I have represented for the arrears which has been declined on the ground that the approval received from the ministry has a condition that revision benefits will not be given to those whose resignation was accpeted before the date of approval. I have represented before the ministry also so as to exhaust all channels before approaching the court. The reply from the ministry is awaited. Has anybody approached the court on this issue so far? Please share the developments so as to help me.

The learned experts/members have given their valuable advice.

During the period mentioned it appears many employees preferred to exit and join other ventures.

LIC, and others by the office order denied the wage revision.Thus they must have blocked the payment of huge amount. It is a wrong parctice. BUt this has been done, since in such matters the respnsible official does not have to serve term, or pay penalties.

After the representations to the concerned authorities, fail to fetch relief, the case shall be contested in court of law.

Since there are many employees, you may explore the possibility of class suite.

Thru LCI many Ex. employees have come together.You may circulate to all and everybody you know.You can stick in your ex union offices, You can obtain all india email id's of your ex companies and circulate to all.

Though the first post on this thread was in middle of October 2010, even after 6 months, the matter is only being discussed by the affected persons.  They have not come together and have not launched any case so far.  I think before these people take concrete action, another Wage Revision also will take place!

Hi Everyone,

Being in similar situation due to denial of wage arrears by LIC, I have been following this on-line forum since beginning.  I worked with LIC of India as AAO and AO from 1997 to 2009. Just like many others, I have also been denied arrears for the proportionate service period.

This discrimination by a Govt. owned Corporation is irrational and completely unexpected as is evident from the fact that no bank or DFI or central govt. impose such restrictions. However, before approaching Judiciary, perhaps it is necessary for all of us to exhaust internal avenues (Request and Appeal to LIC for payment of proportionate period of service). LIC is taking its own time for replying. However, making some preparations  in the meanwhile will also help. 

I have learnt reliably this rule has been approved by LIC, Ministry of Finance and Dept. of Personnel and Training. LIC, AMONG OTHER THINGS, has used the following two High Court decisions to substantiate this discriminatory rule (introduced first time in the year 2000):

(1) Karnataka HC : Balaji singh vs HMT and Anr. (1999 11I.I.J.1052)

(2) Kerla HC : Mani vs. State Bank of Travancore (2000(1)LLN 649)

I would like to know

(1) Whether ratio can be derived from these two cases to deny arrears of salary to the officers resigning with clean hands.

(2) Whether these two cases are sustainable / relevant as a basis for the LIC's discriminatory rule.

(3) Whether these Court decisions have all India impact (perhaps the normal jurisdiction of High Courts is within the concerned state).

(4) Whether these cases went to the Supreme Court and a different outcome was there.

(5) Whether rulings in the abovementioned two cases has been negated by decisions of other / recent Supreme Court and /or High Court decisions.

I am enclosing the copy of two decisions, which I saved from this website itself.

I also request all interested friends, who are in the similar situation, to get together so that we can ensure our success at the earliest. But before we move a suitable court as a group, we need to exhaust the internal avenues available. My e-mail Id is sramesh.2000@rediffmail.com.

Thanks and regards,

  I  had worked as Assistant Administrative Officer (AAO) from 03.09.2007 to 12.02.2010. I resigned through proper channel from the post of AAO
to join the Income Tax Department as an Inspector.                Wage revision was due since 01.08.2007. After declaration of Wage revision in LIC, I sent a request
letter to my last working branch (Poonamallee,  80N, Chennai) for the payment of arrear. But the same was denied with reference to the circular for the arrear payment  ,which is quoted as."..... Class-I officers whose resignation had been accepted
on or before the date of notification irrespective of whether they are relieved or not or whose services had been terminated under Rule 39 of Life Insurance
Corporation of India (Staff) Rules, 1960, during the period between 1.8.2007 and 08.10.2010
(both days inclusive) shall not be eligible for the arrears on account of this revision."..........
           In the reply of my application made under RTI, the above line was quoted and the payment was denied.

Dear All,

Unfortunatly , I am also one of the victim under the same miscarriage of Justice done by LIC of India. I worked as aa AAO (CA) from 15.10.2007 to 03.05.2010 and left LIC with the permission and consent and Joined FCI(PSU). The unexpired Bond Period and PF is also transfered by LIC to FCI. 

Now it is all about the miscarriage of justice done by LIC as the other Nationalised Banks, PSU are also working under the ministry of finance but such attitude is not at all appreciated. Our forum may be a little but I can surly request to any of our learned advocate who can take this case as a chalange and get releif to all such victims from the monoplastich approach of LIC.
