Respected Governor Dr, Raghuram Rajan,
It is with great joy that I advise you that one of our RBI Retirees has crossed a Hundred Years!. This Centenarian was born on 22nd February 1914. He is Shri.P.V.Krishnamurthy who joined the Bank in the year 1935 as a Coin-Note-Examiner Grade II and retired in the year 1972 as Manager (equivalent to Regional Director of today). Happily he is in good health . He resides in Gopalapuram, Chennai with his wife, daughter and son-in-law.
Your distinguished predecessor Governor Dr. D.Subbarao, on my request, felicitated another RBI Retiree Shri M.G.Nair, who was on the brink of 100 years. Dr.Subbarao sent a team headed by Kochi Office Chief Shri E.Madhavan and a retired Adviser, Shri.K.N.S.Unni to the Ottapalam residence of Nair and he was presented with a shawl, coconut and the P J Gold Medallion and his wife a bouquet. Shri. Nair missed his Century by a whisker—a few months.
I earnestly request you to send a similar team headed by the R.D of Chennai and felicitate Shri.Krishnamurthy and his wife. \
Yours faithfully,
P.P.Ramachandran, (Retd DGM)

I have made a plea not to link upward revision of Ex-Gratia being paid to pre-1986 RBI retirees/their dependents with wage revision and related issues. Survivors' number is small and the delay affects them. RBI should not follow GOI in accelerating receipts and delaying payments due.
It is nice to note the gesture of the previous Governor, Dr Subba Rao. Actually, we have missed an opportunity when the Bank could have invited Sri Krishnamurthy as a special guest and given him a bouquet or shawl at the time of the lunch thrown by the Governor 0n 10 July 2014.
Probably Sri Krishnamurthy would be one of the selected few who were serving the Bank way back in the late 40's of Dr. CD's time.
