Sub: Inordinate delay in extending the benefit of 78.2% IDA fitment to the
Retired BSNL employees – holding protest demonstrations on 22.12.2015,
wearing black badges reg.
Respected Sir,
The benefit of 78.2% IDA fitment to the Pre-2007 retirees as well as the employees retired
during the period from 01.01.2007 to 09.06.2013 from BSNL has not been extended so far
even though 9 long years have elapsed after the implementation of 2nd PRC w.e.f
01.01.2007. The DoT employees were absorbed in BSNL on the concrete assurance from the
Govt that they will be paid Govt pension after retirement from BSNL and the entire pension
liability will be borne by the Govt of India. However, it is more than unfortunate that the
pensioners are forced to run from pillar to post for their pensionary benefits including
pension revision after their retirement.
The 78.2% IDA fitment has been implemented for the serving employees on 10.06.2013.
However the same has not been extended to the retired employees so far. In view of this
step-motherly treatment and despicable apathy from the Govt to the tune of scorn and
contempt to the voiceless pensioners, Forum of BSNL Unions and Associations have decided
to conduct
Lunch/closing hour demonstration at BSNLCO, Circle and SSA HQs on
22.12.2015, wearing black badges,
as a first step of Trade Union action, which may
have to be continued with further programs of action in case the Govt fails to take
appropriate steps to settle the long pending case immediately.
We request and hope that your goodself will immediately use your good office to settle this
heart-burning issue at the earliest.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
[P. Abhimanyu]
Convener, Forum of BSNL Unions and Associations.
