Employees of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) held a demonstration in front of the central office building on various pension-related issues including withdrawal of revision of pension. The pension updation scheme of 2002 for pre-1997 retirees was opposed by the government in 2008. As a result, RBI had to withdraw the updated pension scheme. “Despite promising that the matter will be sorted out by top RBI management, nothing was done. Now, they are not even responding to our request for discussions. As a protest we had the demonstration,” said a representative of the United Forum of Reserve Bank Officer and Employees. The central bank staffers have also protested the government’s proposal to make staff regulations statutory.
