SBI revises service charges on maintaining monthly average balance



Mumbai, September 25, 2017: State Bank of India (SBI) has reviewed the requirement of maintaining Monthly Average Balance (MAB) and the charges for non-maintenance of MAB. In this context SBI would like to state that financial inclusion including JAN DHAN Accounts have never been subject to any charges. In respect of the rest, it has now been decided to exempt the pensioners, beneficiaries of social benefits from the Government and accounts of Minors. Therefore, this is in addition to the already exempted categories under PMJDY accounts and Basic Savings Bank Deposits Accounts (BSBD).

The Bank has also decided to treat the metro and urban centres in the same category and the requirement of MAB in metro centres stands reduced to Rs.3000/- . For non-maintenance of MAB, the charges have also been revised downward ranging from 20% to 50% across all population groups and categories. The charges at semi-urban and rural centres range from Rs.20/- to Rs 40/- and at urban and metro centres from Rs 30/- to Rs 50/-. The revised MAB requirement and charges will become applicable from the month of October 2017.

The Bank has a very strong deposit franchise having 42 crores Savings Bank accounts out of which 13 crore accounts under PMJDY / BSBD were already exempted. The above revision is likely to benefit another 5 crore account holders. The Bank also clarified that customer always has the option of converting the regular savings bank account to BSBD account, free of charge, in case he desires to avail basic savings bank facilities without being subject to maintain MAB. The features of BSBD accounts are available in the bank’s website bank.sbi.

The following categories of Savings Bank Accounts are excluded from MAB requirement:
i) Financial Inclusion Accounts
ii) Basic Savings Bank Deposit Accounts
iii) Small Accounts
iv) Pehla Kadam and Pehli Udaan accounts.

Morcha To Parliament – A Grand Success – More Than 30000 Participated

Morcha to Parliament – A Grand Success – More than 30000 Participated

ALL INDIA BANK OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION

AIBOA CIRCULAR LETTER NO. 12/VII/2017/

17-9-2017

Dear Comrades,

MORCHA TO PARLIAMENT – A GRAND SUCCESS
MORE THAN 30,000 PARTICIPATED
YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN, DEAR COMRADES
CONGRATS AND RED SALUTES TO ALL OF YOU

In a befitting reply to the efforts being made by the Government to expedite the banking reform measures, and in continuation of the militant strike action on 22nd August, 2017, more than 30,000 bankmen and women assembled in Delhi and took part in the massive Morcha to Parliament on 15th September, 2017.

From our national conference of AIBEA and AIBOA, we had given the clarion call to further unite and to intensify our struggle against the increasing attacks and challenges and to save the banks from being destroyed by the loan defaulters and aided by the Government’s inaction to ensure recovery of the huge bad loans.

In tune with this call, we took the initiatives which resulted the UFBU’s call for strike on 28th February, 2017 which was a grand success.

But it was observed that the Government was going ahead with their attempts to push through their reforms agenda. Associate Banks were closed down and forcibly merged with SBI. Even for giving capital to the Banks, Government was making all types of conditions. They were talking of further mergers. On the other hand, attempts were being made to let off the defaulters in the name of IBC. The signal was clear that Government wanted to expedite their efforts.

Hence AIBEA, along with AIBOA, decided to go for mass mobilisation and organise a Morcha to Parliament. This time also, other Unions came forward to join the programme and UFBU was ready to go for further strike action also. Thus, we witnessed a magnificent strike on 22nd August, 2017. Close on the heels of this united action, preparations started for the Morcha to Parliament on 15th September, 2017.

We are happy that this Morcha has turned out to be a huge success. It was massive indeed. All our unions ensured large participation. Our rank and file membership participated in the Morcha with full enthusiasm. Ram Leela maidan was a sight to see on 15th morning. It was an ocean of bank employees and officers holding the banner of AIBEA, AIBOA and UFBU.
The courage and determination to fight back the attacks were visible. The spirited slogans raised during the entire procession was proof of their commitment to resist the challenges. The Morcha was simply superb, marvelous, splendid and wonderful.

The Public Rally in the Parliament Street was equally impressive. For the first time, leaders of all the Central Trade Unions (INTUC, AITUC, HMS, CITU, AIUTUC ,TUCC , SEWA, AICCTU, UTUC, LPF) came to our Rally and extended their support. Prominent political leaders and Members of Parliament spoke in our Rally and expressed their support and solidarity.

At our initiative, a meeting was arranged with the Finance Minister with the help of Com D. Raja, Member of Parliament from Communist Party of India. UFBU leaders met the Finance Minister after the Morcha and submitted a detailed Memorandum on our demands, thus drawing the personal attention of the Government. We hope that Government would understand the demands and change their line. Otherwise our struggle would be carried forward.

All of us are aware that this Morcha and massive mobilisation is a part of our long-drawn and prolonged struggle in defence of public sector banking, against attempts of privatisation and consolidation and to force the Government to take stringent measures to recover the bad loans from corporate defaulters. Our struggle is to save banks, to save the economy, to save the people and to save the nation.

We greet and congratulate all our unions and members all over the country for their rousing response to the call.

With greetings

Yours comradely,
C.H. VENKATACHALAM / S. NAGARAJAN
GENERAL SECRETARY  / GENERAL SECRETARY
AIBEA  /  AIBOA

Central Govt Is Planning To Hike The Basic Salaries Over 7th CPC Recommendations – FINMIN

Central Govt is planning to hike the basic salaries over 7th CPC Recommendations – TKBSEN

January Salary Of Central Employees To Follow New Pay Hike: FinMin

New Delhi: Central government employees’ salaries for January will be in line with the new pay hike, a top official of the finance ministry today told The Sen Times on condition of anonymity.

The official said, “the government is planning to hike the basic salaries over 7th Pay Commission recommendations. If the cabinet gives the nod in this regard, it will be effected January 2018.”

He also added, “the fitment factor for basic pay will be raised to 3.00 times from 2.57 times as approved by the Cabinet on January 29.

If the 2.57 fitment factor is tinkered with fitment factor 3.00, then salary and pension in general for all central government employees will go up, he confirmed.

The government in June approved the 7th Pay Commission recommendations for its employees with higher minimum basic pay from Rs 7,000 to Rs 18,000 per month while the maximum basic pay from Rs 80,000 to Rs 2.5 lakh, which have been paid with arrears, effective from January 1, 2016 but central government employees’ unions had expressed their dissatisfaction over the inadequate hike in basic pay in accordance to the pay panel recommendations.

The employees’ unions have been demanding a minimum hike of basic pay Rs 26,000 and asked to raising fitment factor 3.68 times from 2.57 times.

So, the National Anomaly Committee headed by Secretary, Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has been formed in September, 2016 to look into pay anomalies arising out of the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations.

The meeting of National Anomaly Committee (NAC) is likely to be held in October for hike in basic pay with fitment factor 3.00. Earlier it was slated for the last week of September, the official told us.

After due hearing and by majority vote of all its stakeholders, the National Anomaly Committee may recommend to hike minimum pay Rs 21,000 from Rs 18,000.

“The minimum pay of central government employees Rs 18,000 was made on recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission. But government will consider hiking it after discussions with all stakeholders,” Finance minister Arun Jaitley had earlier said in a meeting.

Hence, the National Anomaly Committee would go with the wish of Arun Jaitley. So NAC is likely to send a report to the government to hike the basic salaries over 7th Pay Commission recommendations with fitment factor 3.00 instead of 2.57 for central government employees.
