rules and laws are not for Elders
It is very depressing to note that the present rules and laws are not towards the interest of Elders in order to ease their life from the botheration of day to day hardship . They are
1.The maintenance of Elders are not done by wards seriously and flouting the Govt. rules. They present to take care of them by actually do not worry about the elders problems.
2.Banks are not carrying out the RBI instructions to the banks issued towards the benefits of elders. practically many elders find difficult to stand in common queues for long time, the Forms supplied for NEFT etc are not easy for filling by Elders, Net banking is not convenient and safe for Elders, Managers of the banks are seldom available to hear the complaints of the Elders, Many ATM machines are having typing pad are fixed at deep in to the machine with invisible numbers etc, the display in the ATM machine are mostly very light coloured and not visible to elders eyes, cheques issued by elders are frequently returned by banks telling letters are broken, overtouch done, correction done (even if not done) , signature do not tally with theirs etc It is not possible for elders to maintain their signature even for 1 or 2 years constantly. Hence Banks should allow elders to affix their thumb impression in the cheques in the front or at the rear side.
3.Police is not bothering about the safety of Elders. The GOI once issued instructions that Police should maintain the list of elders living within their police station jurisdiction and a register should be maintained. The State Govt also printed and supplied such books to P.Stations. But they were used for some other purpose. Generally elders are forced to live alone in separate portion or floor of the house but the police officers do not recognize that elders are living alone, Just because they are in the same building. The GOI should issue suitable instructions to Police that such cases should also be considered as ""living separate " and necessary protection given to them.
4. In the public places the elders are not considered as persons deserving human consideration and given adequate facilities on par with physically handicapped and women. Even Govt.of India have not created or included the word "Senior Citizens"" in to the Ministry for Child and women's welfare. The GOI should amend the Ministry name and issue necessary orders. more

Hi every one, I would like to bring few points to your notice. Seniors save their life savings in Banks. But Deposit insurance fixed in 1993 as one lac is very low. . Incase and Bank fails, only one lac the depisitor gets back from the Insurance Company. Depositer loses the balance of lacs. The Insurance Has to be enhanced to 20 lac. I have been writing to the union Government. KLRao For Social Justice more

The Sr.citizens while trying to deposit their savings in the P.O. in Sr.Citizens Savings Scheme, they are treated as if they are thiefs or criminals and suspect their deposits. They do not allow P.O.Agents tp help the elders in getting their forms filled at home and send them with cheques through these Agents. The PO summon the elders to appear before the clerks of the P.O. and also give declaration that the money they deposit is their savings only. Is it not ridiculous on the part of GOI and Post Office to do such things even though these deposits are made by way of bank cheques transferring from bank account to post office. The attitude of P,O /GOI towards Elders are inhuman and humiliating. Due to inability of Elders, they seek the help of Post Office Agents (who are approved to act as Agents for Savings collection on behalf of Post office).When P.O. allow these Agents to do service in respect of MIS deposits and other deposits (for which even non-elders can also deposit) they disallow such survive by these Agents to S.C.S.Scheme which is ment exclusively for Elders. The GOI has let loose the Post office officials to frame their own rules, it seems. more

When one is earning, he or she should do savings and investment to take care of the subdued lifestyle after becoming a senior citizen. Should not depend on any one except on the one you are paying for the services rendered. All should become net savvy. No excuses. more
