Health Insurance Scheme:

Discussion Paper on proposed Health Insurance Scheme:

IBA’s proposal of Health Insurance Scheme in lieu of existing Hospitalisation Expenses Reimbursement Scheme.

As you are aware, presently, under our Bipartite Settlement, hospitalisation expenses are reimbursed upto 100% for employees and 75% for eligible family members as per the prescribed schedule of charges. In our Charter of Demands for the 10th Bipartite Settlement, we have demanded for improvements in the scheme to cover 100% of the expenses for self and family without any restrictions.  In response to our demand, in the last round of discussions, IBA proposed introduction of Health Insurance Scheme in lieu of the existing reimbursement scheme.

The broad sketch of the proposed scheme is as under:

Ø  100% reimbursement or cashless settlement of hospital bills for self and dependent family members with the following ceiling:

Officers       :        Rs. 4,00,000 per year
Clerks         :        Rs. 3,00,000 per year
Sub-staff    :        Rs. 2,00,000 per year

UFBU CIRCULAR No.6 DATED 11-10-2013

BIPARTITE TALKS WITH IBA

Another round of bipartite discussions was held today in Mumbai between IBA and UFBU on our demands for wage revision.  IBA was represented by its Core Committee led by Shri R K Dubey, CMD, Canara Bank and UFBU was represented by all the Nine Constituent Unions.

D.A. Formula:  Revision of Dearness Allowance formula has been discussed at length since the CPI points under 1960-series are no longer compiled and published and the DA payable is being arrived at after duly converting the Consumer Price Index (CPI) points compiled under 2001-series.  UFBU has impressed upon the need to switch over to CPI 2001-series for payment of DA and revision of DA on monthly basis.  IBA said that they have to examine the matter in detail before responding.

Reimbursement of Hospitalisation Expenses:  Management wanted to know the response of the UFBU on introduction of Medical Insurance Scheme.
