turning blind eye to
the moral and November 19,2018 General Insurers Public Sector Association {GIPSA}an
ethical standards unregistered apex body frames scheme of immunity for decision makers
of PSU non-life insurance Co.s euphemistically called : “legal and financial
support to serving/retired employees/officers ..against legal cases arising
out of bona fide execution of Company’s work”.The scheme benefits the
alleged psychopaths and their promoting managers who somehow get
rewarded in the workplace(s) of our PSU Insurance.

I pray your cognizance to stop the legalization of disciplined corruption and

promotions of the disciplined misogynists in our public sector Insurance being the
appointing authority to apex decision makers in our PSU insurance {GIPSA}
companies. Last 11 years un-abated isolation and humiliation of applicant may
also be stopped.

DeepaBajwa, Director Central Vigilance Commission,

Satarkata Bhavan, Block –A ,GPA Complex, INA ,NEW DELHI-110 023'

We acknowledge receipt of Commission's OM reference No, Conf/1463/08

dated 29.4,2008 in connection with the grievances of Mr.Soni, Hindi
Translator. The gist of the complaint preferred by him are as under :

1. Mr.Soni has contended that the Divisional Office has made a false allegation about
not responding to their repeated reminders in connection with his medi-claim.

2. He also made a complaint that in spite of being Senior most employee in the DO, he
was deprived of the functions of Cashier on the pretext that it was refused by him
earlier,

3. He also alleges that unnecessarily he has been issued charge sheet for his sick leave
though sufficient balance was to his credit.

On the basis of various allegations made by Mr.Soni, we had asked our VQ to invcstigate
the matter and report to us. Accordingly the matter was invcstigaied by our VO. On
perusal of his report, we offer our para-wise comments on the various points raised by
Mr.Soni and the same are as under ;

1. Mr. Soni is our employee, working as Hindi Translator at Ajmer DO. He

submitted Medi claim bills to Div. Office. As some additional information was required
for his claim, letters for compliance were sent to Mr.Soni advising him to comply with
the requirements. However Mr.Soni denied having received any such communication,
delay is therefore caused due to non compliance on the part of Mr.Soni.

2.Divisional Manager, clarified that Mr. Soni is appointed specially as

Hindi Translator and therefore the job of cashier was not allotted to him. Moreover,
as he was already transferred to Gulabpura branch from Ajmer Div, Office, the question
of assigning him with the function of cashier's job at DO does not arise.

3. Mr. Soni, was issued a Memorandum dated 13.2.2008,for his acts of unauthorized
absence, insubordination, leaving head quarter without permission of the superior and
for tamping with the medical certificate. A departmental inquiry was been instituted to
look into the charges framed against him.

In view of the findings of the VO it will be seen that the allegation made by Mr. Soni are
baseless and do not have vigilance angle. Therefore we are closing the case from
vigilance angle. This is for your information please.

Yours faithfully, (GOPA RAY) GM & CVO

Smt. Gopa Ray has jointed as CVO of our Company on 4th April 2005 on deputation from
LIC of India.Smt Ray Joined LIC of India in 1977. Her motto is pro-activity,strict financial
discipline and preventive approach to vigilance.,which should be encouraged as values
and ethics in work culture are imbibled by each and every employee of this esteemed
institution.( Excerpts From in-house Magazine of NIACL Page 20,VISION )
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The statement of CVO ,NIACL informing 3 times to the CVC that applicant is a Hindi
Translator remains misleading even after 11 years; as another department of NIACL,
then represented by its chief manager and presently the CMD, Atul Sahai is emphatic
that there is neither any existence of Hindi Translator nor is there any pending matter of
revival of the post.
