KUCHH TAU MILEGA - A GOOD NEWS FOR EX-ONGCIANS

The retired employees of the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) have been undergoing through a very excited phase since the newS relating to a monthly payment of 30% of the existing maximum of revised pay scales of the posts on which they retired irrespective of their dates of retirement. It is guessed that an announcement to this effected is likely to be made by the CMD of the Corporation on 14th August, 2010, which happens to be the ONGC Day. Some people are of the view that the amount of Ex-gratia and PRBS already beong paid to the retired employees would be deducted from any such payment where-as some feel it would be simply a profit sharing having no relation to PRBS or Ex-gratia.

It has reliably been learned that at the back-ground of above, there are some developments where CMD of ONGC has formed a high level official Committee consisting of some former senior executives of ONGC for the express purpose of formulating a viable scheme for the welfare of retired employees out of the Welfare Fund as per directive of BPE vide its order dated July, 2009. The Committee so formed, has already submitted its recommendations on June 12, 2010.Actually, the above Welfare Fund is the same Fund/Corpus as recommended by the 2nd PRC headed by Justice JR Rao whereby 1.5% of Profit Before Tax (PBT) is to be ear-marked by all the PSUs for the welfare of their retired employees who are not adequately covered under Pension or Medical Schemes. In view of the above developments, payment for the F.Y 2007-08,2008-09 and 2009-10 have already become due.

Blessing in disguise ! It is not known in what shape it would be , but there , certainly , is some thing good in the offing which would enthuse the retired employees of ONGC to celebrate the ensuing Independence Day with more pomp and show.

JAI HO !

(PLEASE OFFER CONSIDERED COMMENTS.WIDE PARTICIPATION IN ALL SUCH MATTERS BY THE RETIRED EMPLOYEES WOULD CERTAINLY SAFE-GUARD THEIR INTERESTS)

  4. Yes, it's true. Nothing has happened so far. Our associations are also quiet.The CMD briefly mentioned in his 14th august speech that something is being worked out for retired employees. HOW LONG SHALL WE WAIT.

    Many years back, BCCI had raised the money package of the indian cricket players. Along with that all retired crickters (including Vijay Hazare of Baroda) were also benefited by a handsome monthly pension announced by BCCI.

    Similarly, along with a recent raise in the salaries and perks of our MP'S in the parliament, the pension of MP's is also raised to 20000 pm.

    Just below a photograph of our CMD in the main auditorium of the ONGC officer's club at Baroda the following caption is written.

    "I SHALL LEAD BY EXAMPLE " R S Sharma CMD ONGC

    I HOPE OUR CMD WILL FOLLOW THE EXAMPLES OF BCCI AND MP's AND BRING US AT PAR WITH OTHERS.

    I retired as Dy GM in 1993 and am getting only Rs 1582 per month as PRBS.

  15. Independay 2013, CMD announced two PRBS scheme for (i) those retired before 1.1.07 and (ii) for those who retired on or after 1.1.2007. Almost two months are now expiring but nothing has come so far. How retired employees are treated, ONGC is the most careless organisation, earning so many awards on different forums, but nothing for those who did their best to make ONGC,s sustained growth and put at the present status globally. If there is any award for treating their retired employees, ONGC will be the bottom company among the Maharatna PSUs.
