GSR No. 1/2002.—In exercise of the powers conferred

by section 19. read with sub-section (2) of section 12 of the

Banking Companies (Acquisition and Transfer of

Undertakings) Act. 1970(5 of 1970)/1980 (40 of 1980)$, the

Board of directors of United Bank of India in consultation

with the Reserve Bank of India und with the previous sanction

of the Central Government, hereby makes the following

regulations further to amend the United Bank of India

(Employees') Pension Regulations, 1995. namely :-

1. (I) These regulations may be called United Bank of India

(Employees') Pension (Amendment) Regulations,

2001.

(2) They shall come into force on the date of their

publication in ihe Official Gazette.

. In the United Bank of India (Employees') Regulations,

1995, tor regulation 28, the following regulation shall

be substituted, namely :—

"28. Superannuation Pension

Superannuation Pension shall be grunted to an

employee who has retired on his attaining the age of

superannuation specified in the Service Regulations

or Settlements.

Provided that, with effect from 1st September, 2000

pension shall also be granted to an employee who opts

to retire before attaining the age of superannuation,

but after rendering service for a minimum period of

15 years in terms of any Scheme that may he framed

for such purpose by the Board with the approval of

the Government.

Explanatory Memorandum

I. Indian Banks' Association, after taking a no-objection

from the Government of India, circulated a model Voluntary

Retirement Scheme (VRS) to all the Public Sector Banks

on31.8.2000. The Scheme, inter alia, provided that emplyees

who'have rendered 15 years' service are eligible for the

Scheme. According to the existing provisions in the pension

regulations, it is only employees who opt for voluntary

retirement after completing 20 years' of qualifying service

and after giving notice of not less than3 months in writing to

the appointing authority, are eligible for pensionary benefits.

The eligibility criteria and the benefits flowing out of the above

provisions in the Pension Regulations ure distinct and separate

from 'hat envisaged under VRS circulated on 31.8.2000. There

are no provisions available in the Pension Regulations for

extending pensionary benefits to a member employee who

retires before attaining the age of superannuation under such

specific schemes. It has been, therefore, decided to provide

the benefit of pro-rata pensionary benefits to members of

Pension Fund who opt for voluntary retirement under specified

scheme(s).

2. ll is, therefore, necessary that the amendment may he

made effective from 1st September. 2000 so that all

employees who are members of the Pension Fund and have

taken voluntary retirement under the scheme after completion

of 15 years of service can draw the benefit of pension.

3, It is certified that no employee/officer of the United

Bank of India* is likely to be affected adversely by the

Notification being given retrospective effect.
