GENERAL SECRETARY,NFGIE

LETTER TO GIPSA ON Revised terms of Group Mediclaim Policy (floater) covering employees/retired employees.

To                                                        Date: 17.05.2013.

The Chairman,

G I P S A.

Sub: Revised terms of Group Mediclaim Policy (floater) covering employees/retired employees.

We have had the opportunity to go through the Revised Terms of GMC Policy covering employees/retired employees as contained in the Annexure - ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’.  Our first hand observation on the subject are as below:

At the outset we record our strong dissensions and resentment at the high-handed, arbitrary and unilateral act and/or modus perpetrated by the framer of the said Revised terms of Group Mediclaim Policy, which it appears has been devised keeping an eye on Floater principle.  Whereas the GMC Policy concerns the interest of employees of GIPSA Companies, it is quite unbecoming that the authority did not have the courtesy to discuss the matter before hand with the representative bodies, not even the checked-off unions of respective classes of employees.  This amply demonstrates total biasness and prejudicial attitude of the GIPSA especially in dealing with employee matters as also maintaining cordial and harmonious relationship.

It goes without saying, the spirit and concept of the Mediclaim Policy was mainly intended to offer benefit to the insuring public and in the case of employees it was treated as a welfare measure.  But, strangely the number of conditions set out in the respective Annexure are totally to the contrary.  Stringent/derogatory and obnoxious conditions put forth to defeat the welfare aspect as a whole. 

In this background we urge that due steps m are initiated for modification of the conditions before giving effect to the revised terms of GMC Policy in consultation with the respective checked-off unions urgently. Pending such bipartite discussion vis-à-vis modification thereto implementation of the Revised GMC Policy be kept in abeyance.

For your due consideration we summarize hereunder our clause wise observation on the Revised terms of GMC Policy designed by GIPSA.

New India Assurance posts Net Profit of Rs 518 cr Q3 2012-13

Dear All,

India's largest general insurance company New India Assurance today posted a net profit of Rs 518 crore for the third quarter ended 31 December, 2012. In the same period in 2011, the public general insurer has posted a net loss of Rs 178 crore owing to global catastrophic events like the Thailand Floods.

"We have seen a positive growth since there have been no major natural catastrophic events in the recent past," said G Srinivasan, CMD of New India Assurance. The total gross direct premium incomeof the company for the nine months ended 31 December 2012 stood at Rs 8512 crore, seeing a growth of 18.18% over previous year. India contributed Rs 7216 crore to this kitty and Rs 1305 crore premium income was contributed from locations outside India.

Srinivasan said that New India Assurance has set a target of Rs 12,000 crore as premium income for the current fiscal, with about Rs 2000 crore from international operations and the rest from India. He added that the company was also looking to expand in areas like micro insurance. "We have set up 160 micro-offices in the last three months and would add another 300 offices by the end of this fiscal," he said. The company already has 500 micro offices and recently launched a micro insurance product 'Jan Suraksha Laghu Bima Yojana'.

New India Assurance also saw a reduction in its underwriting losses which stood at Rs 1470 crore for nine months ended 31 December 2012, compared to Rs 1786 crore in same period in 2011. The combined ratio (sum of claims ratio and expense ratio) of the company for nine months ended December 2012 stood at 121% as compared to 129% in 2011.  Incurred claims stood at 88.81% at the end of December 2012, as compared to 93.29% at the end of December 2011.

The investment income of the company stood at Rs 2055 crore for the nine months ended December 2012 compared to Rs 1709.14 crore in the same period previous year. The net worth of New India Assurance stood at Rs 7601 crore for period ended 31 December 2012 compared to Rs 6740 crore in the same period in 2011.

Srinivasan also said that New India Assurance, alongwith the other three public general insurers is looking to get an in-principle approval from Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Irda) to set up an in-house third party administrator (TPA). Each insurer would approximately spend Rs 50 crore and a total of Rs 200 crore has been budgeted for this purpose for the next three years. General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC) would also be a part of this venture. Srinivasan further added that they were also in talks with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), for the latter being a part of this TPA.

IRDA Plans Advanced Detection System to check Claim Frauds

Dear Viewrs,

Worried over fraud in the health insurance sector, Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) plans to build an advanced detection and prevention system to check fraudulent claims. 
In order to reduce the cost of insurance inflicted by fraud, IRDA said it is proposing to build advanced detection and prevention systems at industry level to identify fraudulent claims before payment occurs and to improve the accuracy of fraud detection. 

"Firms/organisations are advised to submit proposal to establish a comprehensive and complete solution for insurance fraud management within health insurance segment...," IRDA said, while inviting bids from eligible agencies for fraud prediction and detection analysis for underwriting and claims. 

The regulator said it is looking to develop the system to enable the industry to underwrite the proposals effectively by getting up-to-date information, fraud alerts and medical history from the central database and also price products based on reliable database. 

Among other things, the selected agency will have to assist the industry as well as the regulator with alerts related to fraudulent and suspicious transactions including overcharging, unlawful claim, false claims or multiple claims for same event in a particular region. 

Further, it intends to minimise cost at industry level by centralising data without individual insurers having to necessarily resort to both software and hardware solutions for the purpose of fraud prevention. 

The four PSU insurance firms -- National Insurance, New India Assurance, Oriental Insurance and United India Assurance -- had in July 2010 stopped the cashless facility in select private hospitals, alleging over-billing. 

They had alleged that some hospitals were charging patients who have health insurance policies at rates which are much higher than the normal cost of treatment. 

IRDA has already constituted Insurance Information Bureau of India (IIB), a central repository of insurance industry data, which is collecting, processing and disseminating data. 

Also, the proposed system aims to assist insurers efficiently manage the claims by getting relevant information on fraud and claim reporting patterns, also ensuring that genuine customers do not face hassles.

FATE OF NEW INDIA DUE TO ""CWISS""

The following is the text of letter written to CMD of NEW INDIA by Mr. Sujit Bagchi, General Secretary of NFGIE on the above subject related. Pl do write such letters to CMD in case if any Region is facing such situations and experiences  due to CWISS Module. Which ultimately spoiling the image and business potentiality of NEW INDIA in General Insurance market.  Also send suggestions to us how to improve this CWISS module and make it as "user friendly".

Through Mr K P Dass, CRM, KRO

Dear  Sir,

We have observed with deep concern that generating of salary sheet and payment of salary has become very irregular in all the R.O’s throughout the country in New India Assurance Co. Ltd. after the centralization of the salary at the H.O. level for faulty operation of CWISS.  Though we have taken up the issue at the R.O level there has not been any improvement in this matter.  Hence, we are sending again representation to you for your doing the needful and redressal of the same.  Moreover in respect of the leave encashment and payment of LTS advance there are numerous instances of delayed payment on the pretext of functioning of CWISS.  Even after more than a year of implementation of CWISS, generating of Mediclaim  Renewal Notice is still a far cry. 

We have given various representations on these points at R.O level and also during the visit of H.O. dignitaries at R.O. on various occasions but without any improvement so far. As a responsible trade union we cannot remain as an idle spectator to all these problems. 

It seems all these problems has aggravated further since your taking charge of New India Assurance Co. Ltd.  as CMD. It appears that a section of the top Management of the New India Assurance Co. Ltd.  at H.O level is not in a mood to extend full co-operation in your effort  to put New India Assurance Co. Ltd. on the right track of its glorious past.  Hope under your leadership New India Assurance Co. Ltd. will overcome all these shortcomings.

Thanking you

Yours faithfully

CHECK OFF 2012 RESULTS - STAY GIVEN BY CHENNAI HIGH COURT

TO ALL REGIONAL SECRETARIES

Friends,

The result of the Check-off exercise 2012 has been withheld due to Stay Order granted by Chennai High Court. It is expected the case will come up for hearing when the court resumes after winter vacation. Leaders of the affiliated units must be thanked for the extra-ordinary effort they took for  mobilising support for NFGIE this time. The nasty role played by R.V. & Associates to help BVKS is highly condemnable. Despite all these odds the heroic effort by leaders at all levels has once again established that the spirit of NFGIE is indomitable throughout the country .The treacherous act of a handful persons in some parts can never dampen the fighting  spirit of NFGIE. Special  thanks must be showered on Mr.G.C.S. Bajaj and his team for the services they have rendered  in M.P. & Chhattisgarh for the cause of NFGIE. Equally, in Rajasthan many old members have reposed their faith on NFGIE this time also in spite of  rumours.

I like to state  that appointment with CMD has been fixed on 9^th, January 2013.  Mr  R akesh Shetty , President , will lead the team of NFGIE . This time only G.S. of Chennai, Bengaleru, Kanpur, Delhi,Hyderabad has  been asked to participate in the said meeting, besides Working President and General Secretary  since the number  of participants are restricted .In future other G.S of affiliated unit will get their turn and  I request  all not to take it otherwise.

The following task lies ahead of us and your valuable opinion is solicited:-

(1). Finalisation of decision of Court cases for terminated leaders.(2). Reconstitution. of M.P. & Chattisgarh unit and Rajasthan unit. For this purpose a  NFGIE TEAM has to make a tour programme in those two places.(3) Payment of monthly financial help to terminated leaders which was due since October,2012 and  to arrange funds.(4) Mobilisation  of  FUNDS for running day to day expenses of NFGIE.(5) GIC Employees Union(Eastern Zone)has  already spent  Rs 1,40000/-( One lac forty thousand only) on behalf of NFGIE to meet the expenses towards tours to Delhi (30.10.2012),M.P. & Chattisgarh (25.11.2012) and Jaipur(2^nd week of December,2012).

All are requested  to  think over the issues stated above and  give opinion positively  before  4^th January, 2013 so that we can take a decision after reaching Mumbai on 8/9^th January,2013.

With sincere greetings,

MISS USING NFGIE LETTER HEAD BY MR. R.V. SHETTY AND WRITING LETTERS

DEAR All Regional / Unit Secretaries,

Believe that you might have received a letter addressed by Mr. R.V.Shetty, Ex-General Secretary and Retired employee, and who has no role to play in NFGIE, to all Regional Secretary's by using New India FAX from it's Head Office MCTD Department.

From where  and why this person suddenly appeared and mis-using NFGIE letter heads with his name and position and telling our Leaders and members about our Rights. Basically he doesn't have any Locus Standy in interfering NFGIE matters.  Because he is no more neither an employee of New India nor a member of GICEW-WZ/NFGIE.  Friends, all the erstwhile leaders in Mumbai knew pretty well that he is the person  who booked our leaders and told the then Management to identify the persons in videos as to who is who for initiating drastic action against our innocent Leaders. More this so called gentlemen wants to create a sort of hungama in Federation. Friends, please don't be carried away by this type of  FALLTHU letters.

  

Friends, you are all educated, knowledgeable and above all Good Leaders/Members.  Friends, you may be knowing that this R.V. Shetty had lost his case regarding Date of birth in High Court and this person is talking about moral ethics. Friends when he was G.S he did not submitted the accounts properly, when the question was raised in Thane meeting by all India delegates. Had he any proof to prove that members have been cheated him. Friends, today leaders are travelling by trains and buses to meet members in Regions all over India.   But  this leader enjoyed flight tickets and  star hotels for his stay during meetings with members in various Regions.  Our Hyderabad Unit has incurred lots of expenses for this so called self styled G.S. for his visits.   Friends, can any one ask him by whom he was elected as G.S. now and it's legality. On what basis he has written that minutes were manipulated and in camera meetings tampered.

Friends, any persons(s) pointing out the mistakes of others should see that 3 fingers are showing at them and one towards others. That means they should check their inner voice, before writing commenting on others THRICE. 

It is quite astonishing that Why the New India management has allowed an ex-employee to use the company  fax from MCTD Department for this sort of anti employee activities. Persons responsible for allowing the fax should be caught hold of and necessary action should be initiated by New India Management. Will the management act swiftly on this ? 

Friends, in view of the above facts, appealing to all of you that National Federation is only Trade Union in entire General Insurance Industry works for the member by the members and of the members. This Union believes in "Work - Works".  We believe workers participation in Management to build strong premium base with profits and Customer Care. We pay Salutations to the Management, who reposes confidence on NFGIE, who always plays a vital role in caring Customer by all our members across the Nation.

Friends, NFGIE had a beautiful past, and future will be very bright. This so called mushroom unions which have cropped up recently will vanish on its own natural death. Don't believe this type of  ""AAya Rams and Gaya Rams"" . Their only aim in life is to get fame by hook or crook. The leaders who have left have their own selfish goals and want to achieve them at the cost of members.

COURT CASE ON PROMOTIONS:

Friends, you are well aware that a Court Case on Promotions for Officers Cadre for 2011 is in Divisional Bench of A.P High Court. The so called leaders of other Union and Associations have got their promotions by writing exams, because they do not have any confidence in Court Judgement.. They are sitting tight over it. Where as on behalf of NFGIE  a case has been filed in Divisional Bench for vacating the stay order in A.P High court. The employee who has filed for the benefit of officers is NFGIES Leader such is the quality of leadership of Federation.

Friends, NFGIE always believe in ""SRAMAYEVA JAYATHE"" AND ""SATYAMEVA JAYATHE.""
