The family members of the deceased employees of the Sonali Bank are not getting the group insurance benefit for the last nine months. As per the bank rules, the family members of the employees and officers are supposed to get group insurance benefits if any employee dies while being in service. The other NCBs like the Janata, Agrani and Rupali Bank are following the rule. But the Sonali Bank is still making correspondence with the ministry of finance to get the approval. The NCBs usually keep a separate fund for the members of the deceased employees/officers. The ministry never gives any allocation of fund for such payments.

I would like to appeal to the minister of finance as well as the secretary of the ministry of finance to look into the matter.
