SECY. GENERAL: COM.K.K.N.KUTTY. (98110 483030

Dated: 12th July, 2019.

Kindly refer to the discussions and decisions we had taken at the NCCPA NE meeting on the last occasion. We were to file cases before the Principal Bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal, New Delhi on the following issues:

On Option No 1.
MACP to be given effect to 1.01. 2006.

As per the advice of CGPA Kerala, we were to engage Shri Kaleeswaram Raj as our lawyer in the first case. In the second one, we were to await the decision of the Government for some more time. Shri Kaleeswaran Raj had indicated a consolidated sum of Rs. 2 lakhs of which we were to make the payment of Rs. 1 lakh on the day the case was to be handed over to him with vakalatnama. We had decided to collect funds for this purpose. The CHQ had been asked to fix quota of funds for the affiliates and the COC. We had written to all the affiliates and the CGPAs to intimate us of their membership to enable us to finalise the due statement as also to fix quota of funds for litigation purpose. We are yet to receive reply to our communication from almost al affiliates and CGPA.

Without having the facility of the membership of the respective organsiations, we now give hereunder the amount to be remitted by each affiliate and COCs

AIPRPA Rs.30,000
AIBDPA Rs. 30,000
ITPF Rs. 15,000
All India Audit & Accts. Pensioners Assn. Rs. 10,000
Cofees Board and autonomous orgn. Rs. 10,000
CGPA Kerala Rs. 20,000
CGPA West Bengal Rs. 20,000
CGPA Hyderabad Rs. 15,000
CGPA Nagpur Rs. 10,000
CGPA Rajasthan Rs. 5,000
All other affiliates and COCs. Rs. 2000 each.
The fund allocation will be reviewed on receipt of the membership details As and when we receive the amount from the affiliates and CGPAs, the case wil be filed after contacting the lawyers, Shri Kaleeswaram Raj.

In the case of MACP, the matter came up for discussion at the 47th meting of the National Council, JCM. The Cabinet Secretary said that the Supreme Court judgements would be made applicable for all similarly placed personnel. The meeting was held on 13th April, 2019. We received the draft minutes in May, 2019. The above observation of the Chairman had been omitted We took up the matter with the Govt. Now the final minutes have been issued. But they have incorporated the following two words to the observation of the Chairman. i.e. “Judgements, which are relevant and possible”. We have again written a letter to the Govt. to further amend the minutes. In the meantime, the staff side has again written to the Secretary Personnel to implement the judgements of the supreme court in the cases of all similarly placed personnel. We are not going to make an indefinite wait on the Government in this matter. Our decision was to collect the application from the individual pensioners along with Rs. 1000. No steps seems to have taken by the affiliates and the State CoC. Once the money received, we shall be able to file the case before the tribunal.

We await for your response,

With greetings,

Yours fraternally,
K.K.N. Kutty
Secretary General.

The represetatives brought to his notice about the miserable plight of the retirees due to non payment of medical claims both indoor and outdoor and the quarterly medical allowance without voucher for the last 10 to 12 months. A letter in this regard was handed over to him.

The CMD stated that he is sympathetic on the issue but drew the attention to the acute financial situation of BSNL incurring a deficit of Rs. 1000 crore every month. He also pointed out that BSNL cannot afford to the BSNL MRS in the wake of severe financial crisis and may have to evolve another affordable scheme. He requested the represetatives to advise the retirees to switch over to CGHS where ever possible.

However efforts will be made to allot some funds for clearing the pending claims both with voucher and without voucher subject to the improvement of the financial position.
