Sir,
Time and again pensioners of the State are subjected to humiliation,harrassment by the State Finance authorities, when after every six months a pensioner has to be paraded before the Treasury Officer or the Bank Manager to prove that he is alive.The pensioners are made to stand in long queue irrespective of the positions they held in their offices while in service.
The J&K Bank Ltd,corporate office Srinagar vide its latest Circular Ref.No JKB/CHQ/GB/2014-15, dated:April 22nd,2014 has issued circular No-56 to all Buisness Units/Offices and all Inspecting officers giving guidelines regarding disbursment of pension.The Circular reads as:
Life Certificate
“It is obtainable once in a year in the month of November signed by a Gazetted Officer/Bank Officer with official seal.’’
This practice is already in vouge for the Central Govt employees.
The Finance Deptt,J&K State issued instructions during 2011 to submit Life Certificates duly verified by the respective Treasury Officers but when the pensioners approached concerned bank managers,they showed their helplessness saying there seems to be some confusion.The pensioners are also confused as to honour the circular issued by the Finance Deptt J&K State or to honour the latest circular no-56,issued by the corporate office,J&K Bank Srinagar.The State Finance Deptt is requested to issue instructions in light of the circular issued by the J&K bank.
Yours etc…
