a)78.2%IDAPay fixation of BSNL Pensioners: We expressed our serious concern against delay in settling the 78.2% IDA Pay fixation case of BSNL Pensioners since JUN-2013. Director (staff) informed that the reply to DOE queries is being prepared after receiving the comments of internal finance wing of DOT and PSU Cell of DOT. By next week the reply will be sent to the DOE. It is understood that after the acceptance of DOT reply by DOE the cabinet note will be processed. Hence, now efforts are required in DOE for early clearance. Meanwhile, all unions/Associations are required to impress up on the DOT for early settlement of the issue because 60:40 provision was never the part of Rule 37 A Pension Rule and on this pretext the 78.2% Pay fixation is being dragged in unjustified manner. b) CGHS Medical facility to BSNL Pensioners: We requested Director (Staff) for early issuance of CGHS Medical facility to BSNL Pensioners.
