In reply to the DOT’s letter,BSNL vide No.1-9/2012-)PAT(BSNL) dated
08-08-2013 has stated’since 78.2% IDA fixation,,orders are only effective
from 10-06-2013,the issue of pay revision,notional or otherwise of those
employees ,who retired between 01-01-2007 and 09-06-2013 does
not arise’.
THIS IS MOST RIDICULOUS,DISCRIMINATORY , UNWARRANTED
AND VIOLATION OF AGREEMENT ON 12 -06-2012. AND ALSO
AGAINST THE SPIRIT OF THE ORDER DATED 10-06-2013
This letter should be withdrawn immediately.
It is worth mentioning here that there was a sentence in the
agreement dated 12-06-2012 that”this will be applicable to the
Pensioners”.And the same BSNL management now says pensioners
are not eligible!
DOT SHOULD IGNORE THIS LETTER AND INITIATE IMMEDIATE ACTION
TO. ISSUE ORDERS ON. 78.2% IDA. FIXATION TO BOTH PRE 2007 AND
POST 2007. PENSIONERS.
LET US PROTEST AGAINST THIS INJUSTICE AND ALL AIBDPA UNITS ARE
