Respected All,
This is with regard to Compassionate Appointment, my father was an employee in Canara Bank and in the year 2009, he died due to Chikungunya Fever while he was still in the service. Due to the Bank management torture and harassment he was even not allowed to take leave while he was suffering from severe fever.
In the year 2009 he got expired and in the medical reports it was stated that due to high fever multiorgan failure,at that time he was the only sole bread winner and we had lots of Debt due to his medical expenses and to look after the family ( father , mother and three children) and i would like to mention in the points wise what all problem we are facing.
1. During the cremation day few bank people visited our house and assured that they will providing all the help and even assured that they will help in getting job to any one of the family member.
2. Later after few days when we visited the Bank they consoled us and told that Full and Final Settlement is not yet ready and to come back after few days for the same.
3.When we visited after few days, first they showed all the documents pertaining to the Loan and debt which my father had and told us to repay first ,at that time my mother requested them to provide a job (even any lower cadre) we repay the loan and debt, but the same was denied.
4.Later they did all the Full and Final settlement, they deducted the money from my father PF and even from the Insurance money also.
5. At that time my sister was unmarried , the money which we had kept for her marriage in the same Bank even it was drawn from the bank authority to recover the loan even without informing us.
6.Then it was told to us that they will provide us some Ex-gratia amount if we sign and give some documents (Stating that we understand there is no provision for Compassionate Appointment kindly provide us the lump sum amount),during this time also we requested to provide job again it was denied.
7.After repeated visits and moving from one pillar to another till this date we didn't get any proper reply from the Bank authorities.It is more than 3 years we have not yet received the justice.
They grabbed the amount from our account without informing us, they did reimburse the Medical expenses which occured for my father and even deducted insurance amount from the settlement amount.
I do agree mandatorily they do not have provision to provide job ( as in the Central Government and State Government ) but as per my knowledge there are some provision for the Bank management where they can provide the job in the rarest case, but i do want to ask why there is such bifurcation between Central Government and Bank employees.
Whether we will get justice or not after more than 3 years also we have not yet received any sort of proper information regarding the same (Compassionate Appointment or even Ex-gratia ) even there are some latest memorandums where it is suggested that jobs can be provided if there is financial hindrance to the family and even there is extension for applying for the Compassionate Appointment ( Before it was within 3 years and now it has been extended)
Is there anyone who can genuinely help in this matter, it will be great helpful to us if we get any sort of help.
Regards,
VIjaya Raghavan.G
