Kanani, Gujarat- Member Only few proposals were received by the committee. They are summarized as below: 1. Annulment of 60:40 pension sharing system limiting Govt’s liability only to 60% of the collection received from BSNL. Due to effective persuasions by AIBSNLEA and AIRBSNLEWA, DOT has moved the cabinet memo for annulment of this provision along with 78.2% IDA fixation for pensioners proposal. If Central Cabinet agrees to the proposal then it is good for all. Otherwise AIBSNLEA should take legal action against this draconian law. 2. Pension Revision Should be delinked from implementation of PRC report to serving employees. The liability of pension revision due to PRC report lies with DOT whereas that of serving employees is with BSNL. If due to any reason BSNL does not implement the PRC recommendation, pension revision should not be held up for that. Even for a serving employee for whom PRC is not implemented, pension should be fixed based on the pay he would have got, had his pay been fixed as per PRC. 3. Inclusion of PENSION REVISION in the terms and references of 3rd PRC. 3rd PRC has been constituted. In spite of DOT,s letter, Pension Revision is not included in terms and reference of the committee.
