Theyexpressed serious concern at the downfall in the business and growth of the private insurance companies. They sought the co-operation of all theunions to meet the challenges faced by the Corporation and solicited the help and cooperation of the employees for furthering the interests of theorganization.

Shri Hemant Bhargava, Chairman-in-Charge, addressed the joint session and said that LIC business performance in the current year is not somethingto cheer about. He expressed his concern over the fact that LIC’s growth is much less than that of our peers in the private sector. He pointed out thatsome areas like persistency ratio and increase in surrenders required our urgent attention. He also emphasized his concern over the decline in thegrowth of number of policies and the consequent increase in cost of policy servicing. He also said that Management Expenses are increasing at 9% P.A.and Total Income growth is only 1.6%. Salary Expenses as a percentage of total Management expenses is also increasing.

Chairman offered 10% increase in the wages as on 1st August 2017.

Replying to the offer in the Joint Session, S.G Shri.Vivek Singh thanked the management for the initial offer and appealed for a reasonable pay hike asper the demand given in the charter. The undersigned strongly objected for the information given in the Information Sharing Session by the marketingdepartment. It was brought to the notice of the Chairman and M.Ds that it was unwarranted and not in tune with the purpose of the meeting. Theperformance of the Development Officers is drastically increasing, after the positive modifications in the GOIB Scheme. The record number of MDRTagents produced this year inspite of no closing of plans speaks about the hard work done by the D.O’s. The other points expressed by the undersignedare,

1.) Impact of the Wage revision and relaxations to be given to the Development Officers for disincentives, Promotion, Eligibility for Car, StagnationIncrement etc.

2.) 100% cost free arrears, till the date of notification.3.) 3% transitional concession to be provided in the Gazette for three years.4.) GST Impact and removal of GST.5.) Impact of Election Duty for Development Officers.6.) CLIA – Diversion of business.

NFIFWI was represented by AIP Shri.M.Vinay Babu, S.G Shri.Vivek Singh, Charter Committee Chairman Shri.Gautam Sengupta, Shri.Ashok Patil,AIVP and Shri.Sumit Baran Ray, Z.S, E.Z.

The following points were discussed,1. NFIFWI, Objected for the presentation of the data of D.O’s in the information sharing session. The increase in I.B should be compared with the

2000 I.B Scheme and not with the GOIB 2015 Scheme. The overall I.B ratio to TFPI of 2000 should be compared with the ratio of I.B with theTFPI of 2018-19. Still there is a shortfall of Rs.600 to Rs.800 crores in the I.B, which is loss of the Development Officers from 2004. More than50% are still non I.Bearners and many are getting disincentives. It was assured by the management that it will not happen in future.

2. Impact of the Wage revision and relaxations to be given to the Development Officers for disincentives, Promotion, Eligibility for Car, StagnationIncrement etc. If a D.O is affected and attracting penalties, the cost should be calculated on pre-revised wage revision, for three years.

3. 100% cost free arrears, till the date of notification.4. 3% transitional concession to be provided in the Gazette for three years.5. 7 to 10 years cases to be settled immediately.6. Running scale of pay for Development Officers.7. Recycling of Business and submission of business anywhere in the operational area on top priority.8. Graduation allowance for terminated D.O’s appointed as Assistants.9. GST Impact and removal of GST. We informed that we approached Government and GST council but LIC management has never a p p e a r e d

before the council. We requested them to appear before GST council and request for removal of GST. Management said they approachedGST council through Life Council.

10. Impact of Election Duty for Development Officers. We demanded that cost should be waived. Management informed that after ourrepresentation, they have taken up the matter with the Government.

11. CLIA – Diversion of business or credit of business done by CLIA.12. ABM Notification – Only one year condition of prescribed cost ratio and option to apply for D.O’s of other zones if sufficient D.O’s of the

particular zone do not apply. The vacant posts should be filled up by D.O’s only, from other zones.13. Promotion of Development officers, working below 5%, directly as Branch Manager.

14. Ease of doing business.15. Satellite branches problems and D.O’s space problems along with servicing difficulties. The D.O’s posted in S.O should be given option to take

For those D.O’s / Employees who are not getting military pension can be given the benefit of adding the service in theArmed Forces for qualifying service for pension in LIC of India.

22. MTA to be delinked for Meals Coupon, as the DA paid to the D.O for tour is taken to cost. No. of Lives to be reduced.23. Car Advance to D.O’s – Perks Tax to be paid by the Corporation, as the vehicle is used wholly, necessarily and exclusively in the performance

Housing Loan: The housing loan at the rate of 5% was around 8% less than the rate of interest charged to public housing term loans, which was

prevailing at 13%. Hence, the spread of 8 percent should continue. Change in Calculation of interest.41. Outstanding housing loan Insurance.42. As cost of Education has increased, the Education loan has to be increased.43. Repayment of all the loans should be extended upto 75 years of age, as group insurance has been increased upto age 75.

NFIFWI/40/2018-20 Date-3rd March 2019

To,

The Hon’ble Secretary

Department of Financial Services, Ministry of Finance

Government of India, New Delhi

Respected Sir,

On behalf of National Federation of Insurance Field Workers of India,

one of the major trade unions in LIC representing more than 24,000 LIC

Development Officers, we place on record our heartfelt thanks and

gratitude for considering long pending demand of LIC employees for

allowing one more option for joining Life Insurance Corporation of India

(Employees) Pension Scheme 1995.

After introduction of our Pension Scheme in the year 1995, as per the

demand of the employees some favourable amendment in the scheme

was done vide Gazette Notification dated 22/6/2000. By virtue of that

amendment, 100% DAgot neutralised and thereafter fixed pension started

getting revised every six months. Since then we were demanding for

another opportunity to opt for pension after the amendment of 2000. The

demand assumed lot of significance during last couple of years due to

successive cut in rate of interest, turning the life and living of the middle

class retired insurance employees who had not opted for pension earlier,

miserable. Despite our repeated requests, appeals and reminders, our

just demand was completely ignored by the earlier governments.

Sir, your kind, sympathetic and favourable action to mitigate the hardship

of thousands of retired and inservice LIC employees and Development

Officers in particular, who could not exercise their option for pension on

earlier occasions for various reasons, will be remembered for ever. Please

also convey our gratitude to the present Government particularly our

Hon’ble Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley ji for his kind and sympathetic

consideration to the plight of the non pension optee Senior Citizen

insurance employees as a social welfare measure. We are also very much

hopeful about favourable consideration of our other issues concerning the

employment security of LIC Development Officers which has been placed

before the Hon’ble Finance Minister through our letter dated 7th August

2018.

We once again thank you and through you, our present Government for

taking a labour friendly decision for the welfare of Public Sector Insurance

Companies.

With best regards and warm greetings,

(Vivek Singh)

Secretary General

The Executive Director (Mktg),

Central office,

Yogakshema,

Mumbai – 400021

Respected Madam,

The Election Commission has announced the Loksabha election dates,

which will be held in seven phases starting from April 11th to May 19th

2019. In all earnest, we want to inform you that the inspite of your

instructions vide CO/Mktg/DO/2 dated 10.10.2018 following the Executive

Director (Personnel) Circular Per/ER/A/G/2018 dated 16.08.2018. The

Election Commission of India has issued guideline for requisitioning of

staff for election duties from bank and LIC by issuing a circular dated

30thDecember 2009 (Ref: No-464/INST/2009/EPS), addressed to the

Chief Electoral Officers of all States and Union Territories (copy enclosed

for your ready reference). As per guidelines, “while requisitioning the staff

for polling duty, availability of the staff from the authority concerned be

considered and therefore requisition of staff from institution should be

done in consultation with the Nodal Officer of that institution.”

“Secondly, during the process of requisition of staffs, employees of banks,

LIC may be drafted on election duty to the minimum extent possible, only in

a constituency where sufficient numbers of Govt. employees are not

available or in emergent circumstances such as strike etc. by the Govt.

employees. Care should be taken to ensure normal functioning of banks,

LIC are not interrupted. Further, if practicable, their posting to any polling

station outside their normal place of duty may be avoided. Care should be

taken that minimum numbers of employees of such institutions is

requisitioned so that the business of these institutions is not hampered.”

Inspite of the Circular, CO/Per/ER-A/054/2014 dated 15.01.2014 and the

communiqué from the Election Commission No.464/INST/2009/EPS

dated 30.12.2009 regarding requisition of staff for election purpose and

Judgments from different honourable courts clearly definingArticle 324(4),

324(6) and Section 26 of the Representation of People Act of 1961, the

local officials at LIC are giving indiscreetly the complete list of employees

under its jurisdiction irrespective of their Job Profile (Development Officers

governed by Special Rules which are not negotiable for the loss of time

owing to deputation), health conditions and also some exigencies. This is

done under the pretext of illusionary stringent legal implication on them

without understanding the law and also not even having a second word

with the Election Officials.

Further if the deputed official skips the election duty due to very valid

reason, he/she is exposed to legal hassles to defend individually. The

office does a job of passing on the notice and does not mediate even

though is very much aware of the reason behind abstaining.

Ref: - Deputation of Development Officers for Election Duty.

Incidentally, in the last General Elections, Some Development Officers of

South Central Zone were deputed as Assistant Expenditure Officials for a

period of 40 to 45 days monitoring the expenses pie to pie of a candidate in

a particular assembly segment of a Parliamentary Constituency exposing

them to all the risks involved in this very sensitive Job. In the whole

process, one development officer could manage to bring the requisite cost

and the other lost one increment under the special rules for no fault of

theirs.

On 23th February 2019, Development Officers of Barpeta Branch, Assam

are deputed as Assistant Expenditure Officials for the ensuing Parliament

elections, basing on the list given by LIC. The Development Officers have

to do the job, which will be for more than 45 days and will definitely affect

their performance in LIC. We request your immediate intervention in the

matter.

We appeal to you to give clear instructions not to depute the Development

Officers who are governed by special rules which clearly mandates them

to adhere without any exemptions for election duty and also ensure that

the Nodal officers negotiate with the election officials for exempting

Development Officers from election duty.

On the other side, kindly bring to the knowledge of Election Commission of

India about the Special Rules Governing the cadre of Development

Officers and persuade the commission to issue a special communique

restraining development officers for being drafted to election duty.

We request and look forward for urgent solution on the issue concerning

the whole class of Development Officers and thus affecting the

performance of Development Officers. Kindly treat this matter as urgent

and emphatically expedite.

With best regards,

Yours Sincerely,

Vivek Singh

Secretary General.

To,The Chairman,L.I.C of IndiaCentral office, Yogakshema, Mumbai – 400021

Respected Sir,

We heartily welcome your message dated 14th March 2019acknowledging the contributions of each and every segment of ourworkforce for making LIC of India, one of the most noble organisations,that was ever seen. We also highly appreciate your feelings that humanresources are the most premium assets of the corporation.

We further welcome the recent circulars issued from the Central Officegranting some employees benefits in the form of reimbursement of mobile& news paper expenses and expenses on household help, electricitycharges and furniture items. However, we are very much surprised andshocked to observe that Class-II Officers of the corporation having soleresponsibility to procure business from the market during presentcompetitive market scenario are being totally ignored and deprived toallow any kind of such employee’s benefits. Earlier, when Meal Coupanwas introduced as welfare measure, it was extended to every section ofemployees in proportion to the respective cadre without any division ordiscrimination amongst the employees. Similar kind of treatment is alsobeing expected at the time of issuance of all such recent circulars as eachand every section of employees who are contributing for the growth andprogress of LIC may not feel alienated or deprived from some employeesbenefits which are welfare in nature.

We have already placed our demands through our present charter ofdemands submitted to your good office on 7th December 2017 forextending different kinds of employees benefit to our class for ease ofdoing our marketing activities. Even, during recently concludedinformation sharing session, we had pointed out for extending some ofthose benefits to our class as welfare measure.

We are in receipt of sharp reaction from our members against such illtreatment to our cadre. A sense of discrimination and alienation hasalready been developed amongst our members after going through allsuch circulars which is not at all desirable for the good health of ourbeloved institution particularly at this most crucial period of the currentfiscal. We need to ensure, that each and every Development Officershould come out immediately from any kind of ill feelings or alienation andgive their best for LIC with a sense of pride at this most crucial time.

As such we sincerely urge upon you to extend all such benefits to each andevery section of employees in proportion to the respective cadreparticularly for the class of Development Officers without any further delay.It is needless to mention that as all such benefits are welfare in nature, itshould not be taken into cost computation for our cadre.With best regards,

Yours Sincerely,

Vivek SinghSecretary General.

CIRCULAR

All Insurers — Life, General and Health

1. Clear and transparent communications play a vital role in

servicing of insurance policies and in ensuring that the benefits

of insurance policies flow to the beneficiaries in a timely

manner. Further, when it comes to claims, there is a need to

/rejection of proposals, renewal/lapse intimations/premium

reminders wherever sent, bonus accrued in life insurance

enhancing insurance awareness apart from sending

necessary caution messages such as not falling prey to

spurious calls/offers etc and thus ensure that the interests of

feasible, the communications may be in regional or local

language of the place of residence of the policyholder /

claimant, besides English/Hindi.

This shall be implemented by Insurers with effect from

01/07/2019.

You are aware that a good number of Development Officers are goingon superannuation from different divisions within our zone almost in everymonth. During their long span of service with LIC, all those retiring DevOfficers have contributed a lot for the growth and prosperity of our belovedorganization. Naturally, being a responsible employer we must take all theinitiatives so that they can enjoy a dignified and peaceful retired live.

In all most all the PSU’s, there is a convention or practice to arrange aspecial training cum awareness programme with all the officers andemployees before three to six months from the date of retirement to makethem aware about different kinds of retirement benefits, to guide themproperly how to invest the retirement proceeds most securely to earnhandsome return out of that and how to enjoy a happy, healthy andpeaceful retired live through healthy diet, light exercise, yoga, meditationetc. Basic purpose of that training cum awareness programme is also tomotivate and guide them properly so that soon after retirement aftercompleting a long span of service life with the employer, they should notdemoralized or feel depressed that they are no more in a position tocontribute for their employer, family members and even for the society.

As we know, that our corporate Office is also having similar type of trainingcum awareness programme for all our officers and employees just beforeretirement through ZTC of the respective zones. Unfortunately, this type oftraining cum awareness programme is not being conducted by our ZTC,Kolkata.

As such, we sincerely request you for initiating the training cum awarenesssession with all our retiring Development Officers at ZTC, Kolkata beforethree months from the date of retirement with immediate effect. We alsohumbly suggest for making arrangement for handing over one uniformmemento along with a letter of commendation in acknowledging hisservice for the Corporation duly signed by the Chairman, LICI to the retiredDevelopment Officer on behalf of our beloved organisation on the day ofhis/her retirement.

We will be sincerely looking forward for a prompt action from yourend, we are requesting for.

We had an opportunity to attend the Divisional ExecutiveCouncil Meeting of our Asansol Division held at Asansol on lastSunday (3rd March 2019) where representatives from all theBranch Units/SO’s underAsansol Division were present. During themeeting, we had shared our concern about recruitment of lessnumber of agents by the Development Officers and made a requestto all the participants to give a special drive for recruitment ofagents, especially the RCA’s and CCA’s.

During discussion on the particular issue, it has come to ourknowledge that since last couple of months, IC-38 Book (English,Hindi & Bengali version) on Pre-recruitment test is not at allavailable at any of the ATC’s & DTC under Asansol Division. Due tothis reason, the prospecting agents are facing huge difficulties fortheir preparation for online Pre-Recruitment Test. At the same time,non-availability of IC-38 Book is also affecting the success rate ofPre-Recruitment test to a great extent.

Sir, you must appreciate the fact that at a time when we are givingmaximum thrust on recruitment of more number of agents at all ourBranches/SOs to boost up the sales, we need to ensure that thereshould not be any scarcity on supply IC-38 Book for all the availableversions (English, Hindi, Bengali & Assamese etc) to any of ourATC’s/DTC’s under our zone.

As such, we sincerely request you for initiating all possible steps forsupply of IC-38 Book in sufficient numbers at all the ATC’s/DTC’snot only in Asansol Division but also at Divisions too as early aspossible.

We will be sincerely looking forward for a prompt action from yourend, we are requesting for.

To,

Dear Sir,

We would like to draw your kind attention towards the provisions of Central

Office Circular Ref: CO/CRM/1123/23 dated 15th June 2018 with

reference to the above subject (copy enclosed) and the provision of

Settlement Option which is available for our all the plans prior to

31.12.2013. The above quoted circular clearly states that “for plans issued

on or after 1.1.2014 the Settlement Option will be available only if allowed

as per introductory circular of the plan”.

All plans introduced after 1.1.2014 have the Settlement Option in the

introductory Circular except Plans 814/815/836/833. The recently

introduced Plan 853 (Jeevan Navjeevan) too has the provision of

Settlement Option.

The provision of Settlement Option is not only a marketing tool for the field

force but also very useful to the policyholder and the Corporation. The

Settlement Option is an unparalleled choice to plan a Tax Free Pension.

We strongly believe that in our newly introduced plans 814/815/836/833

provisions in the introductory circular are left out the same are without any

specific intentions since the same was available in the past and in all plans

the introduced from the year 2018 onwards.

We request you to kindly pursue the same with the competent authority in

Central Office and if required, through them with the regulator since the

IRDA is the competent authority to approve our products. We sincerely

need to have a re-look and provide the policyholder a choice of the

settlement Options.

We request you to please follow up the redress of this issue.

Thanking You,

Yours Sincerely,

Deepak Vaghela

Dear Sir,

The insurance contract ideally is a long term contract and in due course of

time there is always a possibility of the policy holder losing the original

policy document. In principle the policy document is an evidence of the

contract whereas the proposal form is the actual contractual agreement

between the policyholder and the LICI.

We have a procedure in place to issue duplicate policy/s wherein the

policyholder is required to submit an indemnity bond duly notarized on a

stamp paper of a certain value which varies state wise (like in the State of

Maharashtra it is Rs. 500/-.) for any claim or for a duplicate policy bond

even though the maturity value may be as low as Rs. 10,000/ the expenses

incurred to settle the claim incurs an expense of nearly Rs. 700/- (in the

State of Maharashtra ) apart from the inconvenience of running pillar to

post to get these things in order.

In view of the growing ticket size of our policy/s over a period of time we

request you to kindly review the rules (procedure/process) calling for

indemnity bonds and an upward revision in the settlement amount at least

up to Rs. 5 Lacs.

We have prudently modified many rules, in keeping with changing times,

in the policyholders interests like that of Settlement of the Survival Benefit

whereby we settle SB due up to Rs. 200,000/ directly into the policy

holders bank account without calling for discharge voucher or calling the

policy Bond for endorsement as was the practice in earlier times.

In the present scenario with the Private Insurers eating in to our market

share and tough market conditions such “CRM Initiatives” will earn

tremendous goodwill not only from our loyal policyholders but more so

from our field force which generally ends up doing all the leg work including

the financial burden under the pretext of “policy servicing”.

Such small initiatives are a positive step in the right direction providing

customer delight in servicing and will make our policy holders happy and

an image booster for the corporation.

Yours Sincerely,

Deepak Vaghela

Respected Sir,

At the outset, we express our sincere thanks and appreciation

for the Circular No: CO/PER/ER-A/213/2019 dated 27th March

2019 extending the facilities of cost free reimbursement of Daily

News Paper expenses with maximum limit of Rs. 250/- per month

for the class of Development Officers. This will not only boost up the

morale of our class to a great extent to work hard with full of devotion

for growth and progress of our most beloved institution.

Sir, as you know that at present all most all the Development Officer

working under LIC are incurring huge expenses towards internet

charges to perform their duties and responsibilities more effectively.

E-mail, WhatsApp and other social networking systems are now

being fully utilised as effective tools for communication with our

internal as well as external customers. Apart from online

registration of new agents, our Development Officers are also

continuously sending plan presentations, competitions circulars

and all other official update through internet to our agents and

valued customers to boost up the sales.

We therefore sincerely urge upon you for granting cost free

reimbursement of a fixed amount on monthly basis towards internet

expenses to each and every Development Officers. This will

definitely work as an effective marketing tool at the hands of our

Development Officers to boost up the sales to the maximum extent

possible.

As such, we will be sincerely looking forward for a prompt and

favourable action from your end towards ease of doing business for

the class of Development Officers.

With best regards,

Yours Sincerely

(Vivek Singh)
