Sir,

Sub: –     BSNL VRS Scheme 2019 – Payment of Ex-gratia and Leave Encashment to 5 Halba Community employees of Chandrapur SSA, Maharashtra Circle reg.

It has been brought to our notice that the following 5 officials in Chandrapur SSA, Maharashtra Circle, who belong to the Halba Community and who have taken Voluntary Retirement as per BSNL VRS – 2019 have not been paid the Ex-gratia and leave encashment due to them so far.

  1. Shri C.P.Dalal                   – HRMS No. 98504348
  2. Shri R.S.Chandekar, – HRMS No. 98605322
  3. Smt K.P.Borikar – HRMS No. 99003594
  4. Shri D.G.Wadgaonkar – HRMS No. 98311107
  5. Shri H.S. Sonkusare   – HRMS No. 99306243

All the relevant records have been sent by Chandrapur SSA to the Circle Office, Maharashtra Circle, but still the payment is not made on flimsy grounds like delay in receipt, pending court cases etc., whereas no court order or direction exists for withholding any payment.

It is also reported that all similarly placed VRS retirees of the same community in other SSAs of Maharashtra Circle are paid and thus it amounts to gross discrimination.

Non-payment of Ex-gratia and Leave encashment amount is fully unjustified and is causing much difficulty and heart-burning to the concerned officials, who have taken VRS with the hope that some urgently required cash payment will be received as declared by the BSNL management and the government.

You are requested to look in to the matter and be kind enough to direct the Circle office, Maharashtra to make the payment at the earliest.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely

K G Jayaraj

General Secretary
