                      BSNL will soon be getting Rs.10,000 crore return from the   Income Tax department. This was disclosed by Shri Anupam  Srivastava,CMD BSNL. In a meeting held in the BSNL Corporate Office yesterday, connected with the New Year day, the CMD disclosed this. The Income Tax department has collected Rs.10,000 crore in excess from BSNL. This is because,  BSNL’s accounts are not reconciled by the DoT during the  past 15 years. The Forum of BSNL Unions/ Associations had seriously taken up this issue with  the Secretary, DoT, at the time of the 2 day strike that  took place in April 2015. In the talks held on 01.05.2015 with the Forum, the Secretary, DoT assured that the DoT would take all necessary steps to get the accounts of BSNL  reconciled at the earliest. The CMD has also stated that  as a first installment, BSNL will be getting Rs.891 crore  from the Income Tax department.
