About Us

WE SHALL STAND UNITED
AS THE OLDEST ORGANIZATION OF THE BANK RETIREES.


Dear Comrade,

We learn that very shortly you are retiring from Bank’s service. We wish you a happy and contended retired life and very good health in the years to come. You are aware that our Pension is not sufficient to bear the rising costs. We can demand the improvements and can archive only when we are united. On this occasion we would like to apprise you about OUR UNIT “Bank of India Retirees’ Association”, which for the last 28 years shouldering the welfare of the retirees of our Bank.

Comrade, when we were in service, there were categories such as sub-staff, clerk, officer .... up to the Chairman of the Bank, but after retirement all are only ‘RETIREES’ of the Bank. We are proud to mention we have more than 6000 + Life Membership of Maharashtra & Goa Unit and 15000 + members all over India of BOIRA. Our Association is already registered under Societies Registration Act 1860 and Bombay Public Trust Act 1950. It is formed by great leaders like Sarvashri late C. S. Dighe, late M. L. Gala, late S. S. Dabholkar, Shri. N. C. Chhaya and Mr. Peter Fernandes. Our Unit is affiliated to BOI Federation of Retirees, which is affiliated to All India Bank Retirees Federation (A. I. B. R. F.) with membership of more than 2,00,000 belonging to more than 44 affiliated Bank units, struggling at National Level for the welfare of the retirees.

AIBRF, with persistent efforts and in co-ordination with the UFBU, is continuously fighting for our demands mainly for benefits of Updation of Pension, Improvement in Family Pension AND Health Insurance. At All India level, A.I.B.R.F. had jointly with CBPRO arranged the ‘DHARNA’ programmes at Delhi and Mumbai , where retirees from all over the country from all Banks, assembled in large numbers, focusing the country’s attention on unity and demands of Retirees. We are regularly meeting I.B.A., UFBU officials and also Top Officials at Ministry of Finance. We also submit Memorandum of Demands to MPs in various states, to raise our voice in Parliament. The journey ahead , however, is very long and we will have to continuously fight for our legitimate rights and benefits in the years to come. It can be achieved only with our UNITY and Membership Strength. We have achieved improvement in Family Pension and Health Insurance.

Though at all India level we as a retiree Association, working jointly with CBPRO, we are separately functioning as separate unit at Bank level and therefore we request you to take into consideration all the aspects and select which bank of India retirees association to join. Our 28 year old association, take one time Membership Fee only, no Annual subscription. A unit of AIBEA, with more than 700 members have merged with our unit.

During the course of long 29 years, our Association, through regular periodic meetings, have established cordial relations with the Bank Management. Till now we have settled several retirees’ claims /problems as well as family pensioners, without any litigation and ensuring monetary benefits for our members, at Federation level as also at Unit level. We are also continuously reviewing the facilities to Retirees’ and helping, guiding, assisting our members in matters like….. Pension payment, Holiday Home facility, Additional interest of 1% to Ex-staff, Benefits under REMAS for reimbursement of Medical Expenses, assisting spouse of deceased Retirees for family pension and all other staff facilities, medical insurance claims final settlements.
