11th Bipartite Settlement Latest News – 15% salary Hike for Bank Employees
The 11th Bipartite Settlement was a meeting between the Indian Banks’ Association and the All India Bank Employees’ Association in order to discuss and agree upon a new wage structure for bank employees in India. This was the 11th time that such a meeting had been held, hence the name. The first 10 meetings were not as successful as this one, with little to no agreement being reached. However, the 11th Bipartite Settlement was different.
Both parties came to an agreement on a new wage structure, which would be implemented from 1st November 2017. This wage structure would be valid for a period of 5 years, until 31st October 2022. The new wage structure would see an increase in salaries for both workmen and officers. Workmen would see their salaries increased by 2% every year, while officers would see their salaries increased by 3% every year. In addition, a special allowance of Rs. 1000 per month would be given to workmen, and a special allowance of Rs. 1500 per month would be given to officers.

The PIA is payable to all employees annually over and above the normal salary payable. The PLI matrix decides the amount payable to the employees (in number of days of pay-Basic+DA) depending on the annual performance of the bank. All the employees will get the number of days of pay as incentive depending on where in the matrix the bank’s performance fits in, broadly as per Matrix under :
| SI. No. | YoY Growth in Operating Profit | No. of days for which Salary (Basic + DA) all be paid |
| 1 | <5% | Nil |
| 2 | 5% to 10% | 5 days |
| 3 | >10% to 15% | 10 days* |
| 4 | >15% | 15 days* |
| *3rd & 4th slabs are payable only if the Bank has Net Profit. If a Bank has growth in Operating Profit of 5% & more, but there is no Net Profit, then minimum 2nd slab of 5 days will be payable | ||
(The PLI will be applicable from FY- 2020-21)
6. From the calendar year 2020, besides encashment of PL at the time of retirement and during availment of LFC, PL Encashment would be permitted at 5 days every calendar year (7 days in case of employees/officers of 55 years of age and above) at the time of any festival of their choice.
7. It has been agreed to increase the banks contribution to the NPS fund to 14%, i.e. 14% of Pay & Dearness Allowance instead of the present rate of 10% from the prospective date of signing the settlement subject to approval of the Govt.
8. All other issues of the Managements and Unions/Associations discussed during the process of negotiation will be settled to the mutual satisfaction.
