Internal Meeting of BSNL on finalization of GTI Premium Rates: As per notice issued by Jt GM Admn
BSNL CO, the internal meeting of stakeholders for finalization of Premium Rates
of the Group Term Insurance of BSNL Executives was held at 9th Floor
Conference Hall, Bharat Sanchar Bhavan BSNL CO New Delhi at 1215 hrs on
01/02/2023. Copy <<>>>
From Management side this meeting was attended by Shri. Saurabh
Tyagi, PGM Estt BSNL CO, Smt. Anita Johri, PGM Estt BSNL CO, Shri. Surajit
Mandal, GM CA BSNL CO and Shri. S.P. Singh, GM Admn BSNL CO, Shri. Maynak
Mishra Jt GM Admn BSNL CO, Smt. Rupmala AGM Admn, Shri. Sanjeev Sharma, AGM Estt
BSNL CO.
From SNEA, this meeting was attended by Shri. Rajdeep, AGS SNEA
CHQ, Smt. Anu Agarwal, CEC Member, SNEA BSNL CO and Shri. M. S. Adasul,
GS SNEA CHQ.
Meeting started with welcome by Admn section and sharing the
revised offer given by LIC as per the discussions held in last meeting for
negotiations of premium rates.
The team of officers from Admn Section also shared the Internal
calculations justifying the premium rates offered by the LIC.
We had elaborate discussions on the revised rates offered by LICs.
SNEA insisted for further negotiation rates as LIC has not accepted BSNL
proposal for premium rates of 2019. We also requested to go for the minimum
three years Term Insurance on same rates.
It was stressed by GM CA BSNL CO that there is no time with us to
complete the process of approval and deduction of premium and hence we will
have to finalise the rates in todays meeting itself.
PGM SR was of the opinion that the rates quoted by LIC are
reasonable and we there is no need of further negotiations. PGM Estt and GM
Admn also have similar opinion.
Then the LIC representatives Shri. Vishal Jain was contacted
telephonically for further negotiations of rates and continuation of premium
for next three years. Shri Jain responded that he has offered the best possible
rates as compared to Market rates and it is difficult to further negotiate the
rates, but if it is insisted by BSNL, then she will take up matter with his
office but reduction will be maximum of 100 rupees in overall premium per head
and added that he need some time for its confirmation. He did not agree with
the proposal of continuation of GTI for three years on same premium rate.
Thereafter discussions continued and it was proposed by GM CA that
by understanding the shortage of time in hand, and understanding the high
profile of BSNL and LIC, we should not wait for small amount of hundred rupees
with further negations and should confirm the rates offers by LIC.
Though we were of opinion that there should be further
negotiations, by understanding issues shared by administration and as there was
overall understanding that we should not go for further negotiations of rates,
we also have given consent for going ahead with the revised offer by LIC.
We have also proposed for payment of GTI Premium fully or partially
by BSNL but it was shared by the officers in the Management that at present
conditions chances of payment of the premium even partially will not be
accepted by the Management and it was feared that if we add this condition then
the ongoing proposal may be held up.
The rates proposed by LIC in initial proposal and rates offered
after negotiations by BSNL are as follows.
Thus after elaborate discussions from all angles, finally it was
decided to confirm the revised rates given by LIC and details of GTI Premium
rates after final negations are as follows.
1.
Up to age of 50 years for Rs. 50
Lakh sum assured: Earlier it was proposed as Rs.
17700 plus GST and revised rate is Rs.
11,000 plus GST. Rates reduced by Rs 6700 per head.
2.
Above age of 50 years for Rs. 50
Lakh sum assured: Earlier it was proposed as Rs. 47490
plus GST and revised rate is Rs. 38,500
plus GST. Rates reduced by Rs 8990 per head.
3.
For age group of above 50 years for Rs. 20 Lakh sum assured: Earlier it was proposed as Rs.
19116 plus GST and revised rate is Rs. 15400
plus GST. Rates reduced by Rs 3716 per head.
Accordingly proposal has been moved by administration and after
formal approval CMD BSNL same will be published by giving time of ten days for
submitting option through ESS Portal, the premium amount will be deducted in
Salary of February 2023 and the GTI will be effective from 01/03/2023.
SNEA conveys thanks to all the officers in the Team of Negotiations
for successful negotiation of rates and reducing it by 40% as compared to last
year rates.
With these about 40% less rates than the rates fixed in last year
the chances of opting it by a greater number of Executives are more and we are
hopeful that no family will be deprived in case of an unfortunate incident as
happened in some unfortunate cases reported last year.
