60 : 40 ISSUE CONNECTED WITH PENSION PAYMENT OF BSNL RETIREES.
As per an RTI received, the pension payment of BSNL retirees was less than 60% of the various payments like dividend, tax etc.paid by BSNL to DOT till the financial year 2009-2010. From 2010-11 onwards, the pensions payment is more than 60% of the payments made by BSNL.
This is one of the reasons why the DOT was delaying the preparation of the Cabinet note on 78.2% IDA pension fixation. However, now the cabinet note is prepared and is being forwarded to the nodal departments for approval, after which the same will be submitted to Cabinet.
AIBDPA has taken up this issue with the Communications Minister and also with the 7th Central Pay Commission for early cancellation of the unjustified order of DOT dated 15-06-2006, stipulating the condition of 60 : 40.

HSBC TO RETRENCH 50,000 EMPLOYEES, MAINLY IN BRAZIL AND TURKEY.
HSBC, probably the biggest financial institution in the world, is proposing to reduce its employees by about 50,000. This is mainly due its closure of branches in Brazil and Turkey. It has got more than 2.66 lakh workers in its roll.
This is the system of the private companies. Wherever they get profits they do business. When there is loss, they close up and go elsewhere. What will happen to the workers is no concern of these MNCs.
Why MNCs alone? Now, the NDA government is going to bring a bill changing the labour laws through which any private company with less than 500 workers can do ‘hire and fire’ without any intervention from the government. The Modi government has become the saviour of the private capital and the workers are no concern to them.
It is only through united and sustained struggles that the workers can exist and advance. That is what history has taught us.
BEWARE OF CHEATS-DON’T DICLOSE BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER ETC TO ANYBODY- COPY OF LETTER RECEIVED.
Dear GS, Namaste.Hope you are well.
One ‘Cyber Crime’ I want to bring to your notice so that you can caution our members.
Recently, one of our member received one call from New Delhi and the person intimated his name mobile no. Etc and informed our member that some amount already deducted towards GPF is due to the member and his Bank Account Number and Aadhar number is required so that it can be credited to his account.
The stranger continued his talk and could convince our member that he is genuine.He could skillfully trap our member and drew some amount from his account.
Our member then contacted tha Bank, and they told they can not help him and told this is a ‘Cyber crime’.
Our member complained to the police and the police investigated and found the amount is drawn by a private agency stationed at NOIDA.
Yesterday another such type of call received by another member, due to our timely alert we could avoid.
Please alert our members.
With regards,
Boseksc
