FOREWORD
AIBOBOA believes in equipping officers with knowledge about their service conditions and entitlements.
We are presenting an updated position covering the recent changes and improvements in our service conditions, benefits and facilities. The most significant is the Historic Settlement on Salary Revision and Second Option for Pension agreement signed between IBA & UFBU on 27.04.2010. One of the salient features of the Agreement is the provision to extend another option to join the existing Defined Benefit Pension Scheme to about 3,60,000 existing and retired workmen employees and officers.
At our Bank level in the recent past important policy decisions have been taken which have direct bearing on officer’s career viz: Transfer Policy for officers, Policy for selection of officers for overseas posting, HR Resourcing policy and a progressive Promotion Policy for officers offering opportunity for fastest career growth in the Banking Industry. A remarkable improvement has been achieved in areas like enhancement in loan limit and reduction of interest rate in Conveyance Loan and Housing Loan, increase in limit for Entertainment Expenses, Reduction of interest rate on staff Clean Overdraft facility.
This booklet contains gist of officers’ service conditions, perks and perquisites, Staff Welfare schemes, loan facilities and other related matters.
