All India Association Of Coal Executives Demands Intervention Of Secretary, Coal, For Release Of June Pension
Copies of the letter have also been marked to Union Coal Minister and SBI Chairman
The All India Association of Coal Executives (AIACE) has raised serious concern over the non-disbursement of pension to some retired employees, for the month of June—due to be credited in July—for retired executives of the coal sector.
In a strongly-worded letter addressed to the Secretary, Ministry of Coal, P.K. Singh Rathore, Principal General Secretary of AIACE, has demanded immediate intervention to ensure the release of the pending pension amount. AIACE, representing thousands of former executives from Coal India Limited and its subsidiaries, termed the delay as “unjustified and distressing” for senior citizens who depend solely on pension for their livelihood.
The association has also sent copies of the letter to G. Kishan Reddy, Union Minister for Coal & Mines, and the Chairman of State Bank of India (SBI), urging their attention to resolve the matter urgently.
AIACE expressed concern that despite repeated follow-ups, the pension credited through SBI has not been released for many eligible pensioners as of the second week of July. The letter emphasized that such delays cause undue anxiety and financial hardship for retirees and must be addressed as a priority.
