Employees and officers of ING Vysya Bank on Saturday expressed concerns over their future post the merger with Kotak Mahindra Bank which will come into effect from April 1, 2015.

The management of ING Vysya Bank used to honour the bi-partite negotiations which it had entered with the unions regarding service conditions but Kotak Mahindra Bank management did not make any commitment on the continuation of existing service conditions on absorption into the new merged entity, the spokesman for officers and employees of ING Vysya Bank said.

Kotak Mahindra Bank management has also said that ING Vysya employees would get pension but it would not be linked to dearness allowance, the spokesman added. More than 4,000 employees and officers of ING Vysya Bank would be absorbed into the rolls of the merged entity.
