Hence, expediting the Settlement in a time bound manner is very imperative. It is good that the Government has advised IBA/Banks to ensure that the wage revision process is initiated early and completed well before the expiry of the current settlement. We welcome this guideline of the Government.

Mandate to IBA:

Based on this guideline, already Banks have started giving mandate to IBA with the  approval of their Board. Vijaya Bank, Corporation Bank, etc. have already given their mandate to IBA. Few more Banks are in the pipeline. Our All India Bank-wise Unions are requested to take up the matter with their management for giving mandate to IBA to discuss and finlaise the next wage settlement on their behalf.

Preparation of Charter of Demands:

AIBEA has already set up its Sub-Committee with Com. Lalita Joshi (Joint Secretary of AIBEA) as its Convener for preparation of the Charter of Demands and submission to IBA well in time. As in the past, we wish to invite suggestions from all our units so that the Charter of Demands reflects the aspirations of the membership and suggestions of our unions.

All our units are requested to discuss the issue at their respective level and submit their suggestions regarding the following aspects:

· New Pay Scales,

· Improvement in DA and other Allowances,

· Leave and holidays,

· Health cover,

· Other service conditions and benefits,

· Duties and responsibilities,

· Disciplinary procedure,

· Improvement in retirement benefits, etc. etc.
