Com. K. G. Jayaraj, General Secretary had a discussion with Member (Finance) and Director (Establishment) on 18-11-2016 regarding extension of pensionary benefits to BSNL absorbed retirees as per the changed pension rules consequent on implementation of the 7th Central Pay Commission recommendations. He pointed out that all the benefits like  DCRG, Commutation, Qualifying service for pension etc were made applicable to BSNL pensioners after implementation of 6th Pay Commission recommendations as BSNL absorbed retirees are covered under CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 amended from time time. The additional pension being granted after 80 years also has to be extended to the BSNL absorbed retirees. The Director stated that it is being processed.
