July 2018 TIMA News Letter 24 Professional Protection Linked Social Security Scheme of IMA TN

Dear Members, Greetings from PPLSSS. The Management Committee Meeting was held at Yercaud at Shevaroys Hotel. Majority of the members have attended and some of the District Coordinators who have not attended the two meetings also have attended. Dear members, the name change of the document of Javial Plaza Guest House, which was a long bending issue, has almost been settled with the corporation office and the missing document was also obtained. Some complaints regarding the Guest Houses were also settled and also the waste materials were disposed. I request all the members to use the swiping machine in the Guest Houses to avoid malpractice in dealing with direct cash transaction. The Family Benefit Scheme is going well and some members were confused with the proposed Family Benefit Scheme of FSS. Both are different and there is no age limit in our scheme. Our State President Dr.J.A.Jayalal has planned to have the next management committee meeting at Andaman and requests all the District Coordinators positively to attend the meeting. Feedback from our members are welcome for improving the facilities and for the growth of the scheme. Some of the cases which we are very sure that we will not win, its better not to go for the appeal as there may be more compensation. Renewal of Members should be encouraged by the District Coordinators and branch officers. Justice could be delayed but not denied. Long Live IMA. Dr. K. PRAKASAM PPLSSS Chairman.
