CPC is By Central Govt, For Central Govt employees, from Tax Payers' purse".
Govt employees have first lien over exchequer!

If this is true, what bankers say that you have skewed attitude towards bankmen is perfectly corrrect.

TIll 1980s, Salary of JMG I was more than IAS.
Now, Basic of JMGI is 48000, LIC/RBI is around 88000 and IAS is going to be Rs.150,000/- . How is this? You are the owner of all these entities!

You do not mind paying from exchanger but not ready to pay bankmen from their profits. PSBs profit is highest today.

How fair is this? Should you not rectify this grave anomaly at least by merging Special Allowance, notionally from Nov 22 and effectively from current date?

You will not remember bankers to pay fair pay and allowance.
But, you will not forget them for your programmes!

It's time for a 5-day banking week in India to ensure fair treatment and better work-life balance for dedicated bank employees. #5DayBankingNow https://t.co/OMsBDyFGFt

Govt/DFS: enough of “under consideration”. Honour the 8-3-2024 Settlement on #5DayBanking. Bankers are battling understaffing, extreme pressure & mental stress, yet face discrimination vs RBI/LIC/GIC. We will mobilise until justice is delivered. #5DayBankingNow

@arjunpandianias Private buses on the Kodungalloor–Irinjalakuda route are speeding dangerously and creating serious safety issues. Request urgent intervention to regulate their speed and ensure public safety.

[All India Bank Officers' Confederation (AIBOC) @aiboc_in]

Privatizing IDBI Bank threatens India's financial sovereignty, economic autonomy, and national interest.

Privatization = Foreign Control in Practice

"Indian" private banks are heavily foreign-owned:
HDFC Bank: 48.8% foreign holding (Jun 2025)
Axis Bank: 43.8% foreign holding (Jun 2025)
ICICI Bank: 46.8% foreign holding (Jun 2025)

This pattern shows privatization leads to foreign influence over ownership and decisions. IDBI's stake could end up with global entities.

This contradicts Swadeshi & Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
Banking is a strategic lifeline. Foreign control defies self-reliance principles.

Public sector banks (PSBs), including IDBI, drive financial inclusion, rural lending, and schemes like Jan Dhan (96%+ accounts in PSBs/RRBs as of Aug 2025), Mudra, and Kisan Credit Cards. They dominate rural/semi-urban reach. NPAs have sharply declined (all PSBs reduced over last 6 months as of Mar 2024; overall GNPA at 12-year low of 2.6% in Sep 2024). Credit growth now outpaces private banks, with PSBs regaining market share in FY25.

Privatization isn't reform, it's handing a national asset to foreign capital, undermining sovereignty, security, and Swadeshi. Reform IDBI within the public sector to serve nation-building.

Respected FM @nsitharaman @nsitharamanoffc @DFS_India @FinMinIndia @PMOIndia
You have enhanced Gratuity Ceiling to Rs.25 lakhs to Govt employees wef 01.01.24.

In all fairness and equity, you should have notified this enhanced ceiling as per Gratuity Act also to make it applicable to all working class.

Rationale is equality and fairness. All salaried class pay same income tax rate. Why should non-central govt employees be denied. This is sans logic.

In fact, other than Central Govt employees have lesser privileges than Central Govt officials.

Please notify higher ceiling from 01.10.2024.

@ASSOCHAM4India @ficci_india - you should have been the first to demand. Unfortunately, you attempt to deprive employees in private sector who do not have social security, post-retirement. Please demand.

@IASassociation - please espouse the cause of other working class.

Official working hours of Bank Officers & Staffs is 7 Hours including Lunch.

CMD Union Bank accepted that her staffs doing late sitting till late hours and so instructed all to do 'Day End' max by 6PM so that staffs can leave by 6:30PM.

Good initiative for Work Life Balance.

@arjunpandianias Respected Shri Arjun Pandian IAS, the competition between buses running from Thrissur to Kodungallur is causing frequent accidents. Tragically, we lost a life yesterday. Kindly intervene to ensure safety. If you cannot, no one can. Please take urgent action.
