“IMPROVEMENT IN CONVEYENCE SCHEME
We are reproducing hereunder
communication sent to the Management of our Bank for the information of all
officers:
“The issues of conveyance
reimbursement on monitory basis and the relaxation in norms for additional
reimbursement of petrol in the name of incentive scheme for branch manager,
raised by our federation in the last joint discussion held on 26 and 27th April
2012 are still pending and we are unable to understand the stoic silence of our
administration in the revision of these issues.
CONVEYENCE REIMBURSEMENT SCHEME:- As you are aware the aggressive competitions
as well as business profile have made the Officers to be more active in the
market rather than being tied up at branch premises. The officers are today required to discharge
multifarious responsibilities with greater mobility in the market which calls
for additional burden on account of conveyance.
The outings are not preplanned as the market is environment driven and hence
there is a greater need to review the existing conveyance reimbursement scheme.
In this connection, we request
you to take pragmatic view in assessing the requirement of conveyance by
comparing the scheme operating in other peer banks. Apart from conveyance
reimbursement, the cost of annual comprehensive insurance of the vehicle as
well as maintenance and repair charges of the vehicle of the officers are also
being reimbursed in other banks. Under the circumstances, we request you to
kindly review the scheme for reimbursement of conveyance expenses and other
additional expenses as stated above incurred by the eligible officers in
discharging the official duties.
CONVEYENCE SCHEME ON MONITORY BASIS: The
Scheme on monitory basis which was introduced long back have not been reviewed
whereas in almost all banks this issue was reviewed with substantial increase.
ADDITIONAL PETROL REIMBURSEMENT FOR BRANCH MANAGERS: To
encourage the officers to accept the responsibilities as branch heads, allowing
additional petrol reimbursement was introduced in the year 2009. Para 4 of
circular no.548 dated 25.09.2009 issued by GAD Department reveals that the
additional reimbursement of cost of petrol to the branch manager would be
considered as an incentive to accept the responsibility as branch manager and
another contradictory clause was also included in that circular that the scheme
would be extended /reviewed based on the performance.
Most of the field functionaries
are not entertaining the claim of branch managers for additional petrol reimbursement
as it is being linked with performance
and thus demotivating the branch managers, which is one of the main reasons for
the officers showing their displeasure in taking up the responsibilities as
branch head.
In view of the above, we request
you:-
1.
To kindly review the scheme for reimbursement of existing scheme
of conveyance with upward revision.
2.
To review the conveyance scheme on monitory basis with substantial
increase.
3.
Kindly issue a revised guideline to all the field functionaries
that the incentive of additional petrol reimbursement will be extended to the
officers only for taking up the
responsibilities of branch manager by delinking the performance clause.
We are confident that our
administration will extend its motivational steps for resolving these important
issues”
Friends, we will keep you posted
of the developments in due course.”
“REIMBURSEMENT OF COST OF BRIEF CASE
The management had agreed in our
last joint discussion held on 26th & 27th April 2012 for the enhancement of
the ceiling for reimbursement of the cost of the Brief case purchased by the
eligible officers. We are happy to inform you that after constant follow up the
increase in ceiling have been suitably revised upwards as detailed below, with
effect from 1st Oct 2012.
--Officers in S.I - Rs
1200/-
--Officers in S.II - Rs 1400/-
--Officers in S.III- Rs 1600/-
--Officers in S.IV –Rs 2000/-
A circular of the Bank to this

WITH WARM GREETINGS
Yours Sincerely,
