PENSION REVISION – CONTRASTING CLAIMS BY VARIOUS PENSIONERS ORGANISATIONS

.Dear Comrades,

Hearty congratulations to all of you for the highly successful conduct of our Sanchar Bhawan March.

Now, many queries are being received by CHQ regarding different versions on the issue of pension revision.One organisation has claimed that DOT has approved their proposal for pension revision, that is CPC fitment, and sent to the DOP&PW for approval.Another organisation says they got information from reliable sources that the proposal approved by DoT is with zero percent fitment.So these are all contrasting claims in a hurry to create an impression among the pensioners that they are the only organisation for the achievement (?). There had been such claims earlier also and what happened later is known to all. The fact is that DOT has not divulged the real proposal reported to have approved. So we have to wait for the real and credible proposal and it’s final outcome.

One thing is very clear that the government cannot deny the pension revision any long. Our relentless struggles, particularly the historic and fantastic Sanchar Bhawan March have definitely made compulsions to the government.If the decision of the government on pension revision is not satisfactory we have to prepare for further struggles.

With warm Greetings.
