On the issue of Check off 2012 Shri Prasad mentioned that it has been delayed due to delay in PromotionExercise 2012 and shall be taken up immediately after the completion of Promotion Exercise.3. We requested Shri Prasad to start Structured Meeting at least twice a year to discuss various issues withthe Check off qualified Association with GIPSA so that the Industry issues are resolved in a timely &scheduled manner.4. We also requested him to strengthen GIPSA so that multitasking could be done at GIPSA as right nowGIPSA is able to handle only one issue in one go and other issues are kept pending.5. The Issue of Another Option for Pension was again taken up and Mr. Prasad informed that the ActuarialValuation is awaited from one of the Companies and the same is to be reworked by New India in therevised format. Once the same is done matter will be taken further.6. The NPS issue was taken up with Mr. Prasad nad was explained to him in detail and asked him to take upthe issue with Ministry for getting the date of effective changed from retrospectively to prospectively atpar with LIC & Banks.

The issue of appointment of an Ex-Branch Manager of OICL as Chief operating Officer of Common InhouseTPA (CITPA) was raised and our resentment was shown on the issue.
