Latest 12th Bipartite Settlement Updates - 9th Joint Note on Wage Revision signed


Its great news for Bankers and pleased to announce the successful conclusion of negotiations between the Indian Banks Association’ and the All India Bank Officers’ Confederation culminating into signing of the 9th Joint Note on 8th March, 2024.


The new wage settlement entails several benefits aimed at enhancing the overall compensation package for our officers. We believe these provisions not only acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our officers but also serve as a means to attract and retain top talent within the banking industry.


The salient features of the wage negotiations i.e. the 9th Joint Note are as under:


1. Paving the way for 5-day work week – The Joint Note recognizes all Saturdays as holidays, pending government notification. The revised working hours will be effective after notification by the government.


2. Substantial Increase in Salary - The total quantum of wage revision increase (Payslip component) is more than Rs. 8284 crores being the 17% of the cost of Payslip component of establishment expenses of Public Sector Banks.


3. The new pay scales have been constructed, after merging Dearness Allowance corresponding to 8088 points and additional load thereon.


4. With the applicable load of 3.22% the effective load on the basic pay post-merger of dearness allowance @ 30.38% is 4.20%.


5. The long-drawn aspiration of the officers’ community for two additional increments for CAIIB (CAIIB Part-II) is achieved.


6. Officers who have completed CAIIB (CAIIB Part-II) shall be eligible for two increments w.e.f 01.11.2022.


7. Officers shall be eligible for three PQPs instead of two PQPs hitherto. PQP-I -Rs 1370/- , PQP-II Rs 3425/- and PQP III- Rs 5480/-


8. The effective load for officers completing CAIIB shall be increased substantially.


9. Inter se anomaly on account of additional increment for CAIIB is taken care of.


10. Inter se anomaly on account of sanction of PQP has also been taken into account.


11.The new scales of pay ranges from Rs. 48480/- to Rs.173860/- covering all the scales from Scale I to VII, with effect from 01.11.2022.


12.Reworking of the Dearness allowance formula: The conversion factor on account of merger of Dearness Allowances worked out at 0.0549. Instead of being rounded off to 0.05, it is raised to 0.06 extending benefit to serving and retired officers.


13.The index for dearness allowance is shifted from 1960=100 series to 2016=100 series resulting into shifting the conversion factor from 0.06 to 0.99 as per 2016=100 series benefitting the officers with enhanced dearness allowance.


14.The factor of 0.99 as per 2016=100 series is converted to 1.00 improving the dearness allowance further. 


15.Thus, there will be additional benefit in percentage terms in dearness allowance as per the agreed changes negotiated above. 


16.The Dearness Allowance shall be payable as 1.00 % of ‘pay’ per percentage point of Index. The DA in the above manner shall be paid for every variation of rise or fall over 123.03 points in the quarterly average of the All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers Base 2016=100. 0.01% change in DA on ‘pay’ for change in every second decimal place of CPI 2016 over 123.03 points. 


17.Dearness Relief on pension in the above manner shall be paid half yearly for every variation of rise or fall over 123.03 points in the quarterly average of the All-India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers Base 2016=100.

Good News for PSU Bankers about Wage Revision


 Employees at public sector banks (PSBs) may see a 15%-20% hike in salaries and implementation of a five-day work week by the middle of December as the 12th bipartite settlement talks between bank unions and associations and the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) have entered the final stage, four people aware of the development told FE.


“This is the first time in the history of negotiations that the offer (for wage hike) is starting with 15%. It (wage hike) will likely be between 15% and 20%,” sources at the IBA said. They added that the announcement of the five-day work week will either be made along with the wage hike notification or immediately after that by the Centre or the IBA.


The current wage agreement for PSB employees expired on November 1, 2022. The IBA and the unions representing bank employees have been negotiating a new wage agreement since then.


According to a source in the finance ministry, the wage revision and change in work days will also be applicable to regional rural banks.


In July 2020, around 850,000 bank employees got a 15% increase in their salary packages, with the IBA and the United Forum of Bank Unions signing a memorandum of understanding to settle the three-year-long contentious issue of wage revision.


Another source who is part of the negotiation process said the IBA and the bank unions will soon have a final meeting where the two parties will sign a memorandum of understanding, which will subsequently be sent to the finance ministry for the final approval.


The salary hike will be somewhere above 15%. We are negotiating hard as the PSU banks have to take a final hit on the balance sheets,” sources said. The finance ministry initially asked public sector lenders to complete negotiations by December 1.


The implementation of the five-day work week will lead to branches remaining closed on weekends. To compensate for lost working hours, employees may be required to work for extended hours during week days, the first source quoted above said.


“Business hours will start early on weekdays and close 30-45 minutes late than the current working hours,” they said. Customers who wish to withdraw or transfer cash could do so from automated teller machines, and the only challenge will come with regard to deposit of cheques.


Collection of cheques will be affected for these two days. I think we should be ready for that as it does not make major difference and usage of cheques is increasingly getting reduced as people are opting for digital banking services,” one source said.


With employees at insurance companies and certain state governments and the central government having a five-day work week, providing the same option to bankers is a move in the right direction, sources said.


The closure of branches would also result in savings in terms of fuel used for travel and electricity. “The discomfort to customers is more than outweighed by savings and other factors. Employees also need more family time,” they said.

Latest Bipartite Settlement News - Finmin asks IBA to finalise wage revision of bankers of PSU banks by December 1


The government has asked the Indian Banks' Association (IBA) to initiate the process of negotiations for the 12th Bi-partite settlement in a time-bound manner and to finalise it by December 1, 2023, said a senior official.


The wage revision for employees and officers of the public sector banks is due from November 1, 2022.


The early wage revision would help improve working conditions and incentivise the banking sector employees, the official said.


Further, the official said, the finance ministry has asked IBA to ensure that all future wage negotiations should be finalised before the beginning of the subsequent period so that the wage revision could be implemented from the due date itself.


As a part of the settlement, the IBA is expected to engage in dialogues with the employees' Unions/ Associations and work out to arrive at a mutually agreeable wage settlement.


The government has stressed the importance of fairness and equity in the revision, ensuring that the compensation structure remains competitive with other players in the banking industry, the official said.


"Wage settlement for banks has always been a tedious and time-consuming process with bank managements, represented by IBA, and employees' unions engaging in tough negotiations. Historically, delays of 2-3 years in wage settlement have led to a substantial accumulation of arrears, which are eventually disbursed in a lump-sum.


"This contrasts with the more sustainable approach of integrating the revised wages into the regular monthly salaries," said the official.


Highlighting that the banking sector is the backbone of the Indian economy, the official said it is incumbent upon the management of banks to ensure that employees are adequately compensated and it is necessary for the health and stability of the entire economy as well.


It also comes at a time when the financials of the Public Sector Banks are healthy with the net profits almost tripled to Rs 1.04 lakh crore in FY'23 as compared to Rs Rs 36,270 crore earned in FY'14.


At the same time, the Return on Assets (ROA) in PSBs rose from 0.51 per cent in FY'14 to 0.78 per cent, while Net Interest Margin (NIM) has also increased from 2.73 per cent to 3.23 per cent in FY'23.


Wage settlement talks normally benefit employees of public sector banks, old generation private banks and some foreign banks.


In the previous agreement, 12 state-owned banks, 10 old-generation private sector banks and seven foreign banks signed up. New-generation private banks like HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank are not part of these settlement talks.


The last 11th Bipartite Wage Negotiations concluded after three years of negotiations in 2020 agreed for 15 per cent pay revision for PSBs employees.


Almost 3.79 lakh officers and close to 5 lakh bank employees of PSBs, old-generation private banks and foreign were covered under the wage hike due from November 1, 2017.

What is Performance-Linked Incentive?

For the first time, the Performance-Linked Incentive (PLI) is being introduced in 11 public sector banks under the 11th bipartite agreement to encourage bank employees perform better in this competitive scenario. The Incentive will be based on the operating profit or net profit of individual bank.

The PLI is paid to employees on the basis of annual performance of bank and percentage increase in year-on-year profits of a firm or bank. It is payable to all employees in addition to the salary as an annual increment. For private banks and foreign banks, it will be optional to provide this incentive to employees.

How to calculate Performance-Linked Incentive (PLI)?

Have a look at the situations under which the PLI will be calculated:

Scenario

Status of PLI

Year-on-Year Growth of company is less than 5%

No PLI

Year-on-Year Growth of company is between 5%-10%

5 Days salary given as PLI

Year-on-Year Growth of company is between 10%-15%

10 Days salary given as PLI

Year-on-Year Growth of company is above 15%

15 Days salary given as PLI

What is PLI Calculation Formula?

Have a look at how PLI will be calculated:

For example, the Establishment expenses of XYZ bank  on March 31, 2019 is Rs 100 with 50 employees:

Establishment Expense: Rs 100

Establishment Expense for 10 Days : 100/365 * 10 = 2.73

Increment for 50 employees: 2.73 / 50 =  0.0546

Gross Salary with PLI (Annual Increment): Rs 100 + (Rs 100 X 0.0546) - Rs 105.46 - (If Gross salary is Rs 100)

Other Allowances & Perks under 11th Bipartite Agreement

The 11th Bipartite Agreement has introduced some other allowances and perks for the bank employees. These are:

NPS & DA: Banking sector will increase its contribution to the National Pension Scheme (NPS) to 14% of the salary and Dearness Allowance (DA) from 10%. However, this is subject to the government approval.

Leave encashment: Under the 11th Bipartite Agreement, bank employees will be allowed to encash maximum 5 paid leaves in a year during a festival of their own choice. However, employees who are above 55 years can encash up to 7 paid leaves. Earlier, employees were able to encash leaves only at the time of retirement.
