Dear Friends, The text of Cir. No.27/72/2014/28 dt.8th August, 2014 issued by AIBEA to its members is reproduced here under for information: Government clears Compassionate Appointment Scheme in Banks Units are aware that the earlier Scheme of Appointment on Compassionate grounds on the death of employees while in service was discontinued in the Banks under the plea of a Supreme Court judgment. Subsequently, due to the struggle and efforts of UFBU, a modified scheme was implemented by which compassionate ground appointment was extended in few restricted cases and in other cases, financial compensation scheme was introduced. We have been pursuing the issue earnestly and consistently and in October, 2012, UFBU submitted the letter to the IBA asking for extension of the Government scheme of compassionate appointments. The issue was lingering since then even though, we were informed that the IBA-Government were positive on this issue. We are happy to inform our units that the Government vide its communication to IBA dt. 7-8-2014 has conveyed its approval to implement the Scheme as under: i) To open the Compassionate Appointment in PSBs on the lines of Central Government; ii) Discontinuing the provision of ex-gratia in lieu of Compassionate Appointment in PSBs The Scheme shall be applicable from 5.8.2014. This is a very significant breakthrough in this vital issue and will now pave the way for relief to the family of the employees who unfortunately die while in service. Further details will be informed to units in due course. General secretary
