Meeting with Director (HR), BSNL Board, New Delhi on 10.05.2016: GS, AGS (HQ) and GS AIRBSNLEWA Sh. Kishan Singh met Director (HR) and discussed regarding settlement of the genuine pending issues of BSNL Pensioners already discussed in the meeting held on 11-4-2016 with Director (HR): a. For Outdoor medical Bills Reimbursement:- We requested that after introduction of ERP, the medical claims for serving employees has been streamlined, but the BSNL Pensioners are kept out of the ERP, hence their claims are still manually processed which is causing delay and the progress of claim settlement is concern to the Pensioners. b. Cash less Indoor treatment: For indoor medical treatment other than Delhi in most of the cities, empanelled hospitals for treatment on cashless basis are very few. TPA system as is available in other PSUs or linking with LIC as done by CGHS may be introduced. c. Free Call limits on concessional telephones to retired DoT/BSNL employees: Allowing free calls as per BSNL order dated 12.7.2007 in concessional Telephones should be 500+220 calls instead of 500+50 calls. Also the free calls allowed should be the call made in local and national networks. d. Allowing Night calling facility in concessional telephones:- The free Night calling facility as introduced in landline phones has to be extended to concessional land line phones for BSNL Pensioners. e. Transfer of Service Books of BSNL Pensioners to DOT Cells after Retirement as the Pension is being paid by DOT. All further pension revision etc. has to be done by CCA units of DOT only.
