He told the Member(Finance) that the issue is being dragged unnecessarily for one or other reason and demanded early settlement.

Member (Finance) stated that the particular file has not come to him and assured to examine and do the needful.

A letter of CHQ in this regard had already been given to his office on 14th March, 2017, in his absence.

He has also written to CMD,BSNL for his intervention as there are 30,393 cases still to be received from BSNL to the CCA offices out of a total of 1,39,835. According to status report as on 28-02-2017, 58411 cases are settled with issuing revised pension order.
