One of the major issues smoldering in RCC since long is the organisation’s pension plan, which the employees have been vehemently opposing as “unviable and inequitable”.
Several litigations about the scheme are pending in the High Court, yet the RCC management is alleged to be implementing it forcefully, even refusing to give appointment orders, unless the staff member enroll in the scheme.
At a meeting with the Health Secretary in December 2020, it was decided that the scheme be sent for an acturial analysis and that a professional agency engaged in fund management be selected for formulating a new pension scheme suitable to an institution like the RCC. Nearly two years later, RCC management has allegedly done little to address the grievance, Doctors’ Association of RCC says.
