Dear All,

Representatives of our association namely Shri NP Upadhyay ji, Shyam Mathur and Shri VK Sharma ji had a meeting with GIPSA on 21.6.2021.

The main issues raised and the response was as under 

1. Improvement in family pension

It should be 30%. 

The sanction should be in 30 days

A simple death certificate and bank details are required, if the pension account was joint no further details are required.

We have shared a letter of GOI, Ministry of public grievance and pension issued to Banks on 16.6.21 revised instructions.

Simple application, death certificate & age proof.

GIPSA's Response was positive and assured us of a speedy settlement of cases.

2. Updation of pension 

We also emphasized for 

additional pension in old age 80yrs and above 20, 30, 40, 50 & 100% every five years

GIPSA response that they are aware of the issue, these are the matters to be settled by GOI 

3. Online life certificate 

GIPSA: working to provide these facilities

4. Improvement in Mediclaim

a) Reimbursement of cost of diagnostic tests without Hospitalisation

b) 100% subsidy in premium to eligible SI

c) In certain disease recovery period is of longer duration hence post Hospitalisations be for 120 days.

d) To include dental treatment with basic cover 

e) Cost of life-saving equipments 

f) Exempted GST

g) Improvement in services of HITPA, more offices at various center

h) PA cover for self and spouse at least for permanent disablement and death for 10 Lacs.

GIPSA: since the current policy is running for 2 months only it's too early to comment on improvement Will look into, cost factor to be examined for 100% subsidy.

5. Mediclaim premium in installments GIPSA: Reconciliation is a big hurdle hence presently it's difficult to implement.

6. Pension option to ex-TAC employees

GIPSA: Matter is already referred to ministry and awaiting their instructions.

7. Remarriage certificate on declaration basis (for family pensioner's). GIPSA:  online life certificate module will take care of this issue 

8. Pension slip, basic, DA, tax deducted nett GIPSA Online module will take care

9. Allow deduction in income tax GIPSA: It needs to be examined

10. Our participation in wage talk's being only retirees association registered under trade union act. GIPSA: it's too early to comment 

11. SVRS optees issues GIPSA: Aware of the issue.

We are thankful to Mrs Madhumita Jena, senior vice President of GIPSA for sparing her valuable time, especially when the CEO post is vacant and GIPSA is to complete promotion excise.
