A Some facilities to AIBSNLEA: We requested to grant Special C/L to the Office Bearers of AIBSNLEA for attending Association activities. Director (HR) informed that Management Committee of BSNL Board in the last meeting has approved some facilities to AIBSNLEA under certain conditions. She assured early orders in this regard.
B Implementation of 3rd PRC recommendations in BSNL: We requested to impress upon DoT for dispensing the affordability clause of 3rd PRC report in the case of BSNL as DPE has already sent the draft Cabinet Note to DoT for comments.  Director (HR) mentioned that already CMD along with all the Board of Directors of BSNL has met with Hon’ble MOSC (I/C) and pleaded in support of 3rd PRC implementation with 15% fitment benefit in BSNL in the interest of its viability. Director (HR) also mentioned that CMD has explaiened to Hon’ble MOSC (I/C) during discussion that Rs. 2500/- Crore financial burden will be borne by BSNL internally. Hon’ble MOSC (I/C) was very positive during discussion and has assured for his support. She herself along with CGM (Legal), PGM (Estt), GM (SR) has also pleaded to Secretary (T) in this regard. Secretary (T) also assured for favorable actions.  However, CMD BSNL is continuing his efforts to convince the DoT officers in favor of 3rd PRC recommendations with 15% fitment benefit for BSNL.
C Payment of Pension contribution on actual basic instead of maximum of pay scale: We apprised Director (HR) regarding our communication dated 03.07.2017 to Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal, Hon’ble MOS (Finance) on the Methodology of calculation of pension contribution in respect of employees of DoT absorbed in BSNL with a copy to all concerned Secretaries of the Departments of Expenditure / Personnel & Training / DoP&PW and Telecom. She appreciated our efforts and mentioned that the matter is under consideration in the Department of Expenditure and a positive decision is expected soon. In this manner in case the pension contribution is paid on actual basic BSNL will be saving more than Rs. 700 Crores per annum after 3rd PRC report implementation in BSNL with full 15% fitment. It will also pave the way for replacement of E1A by E2, E2A by E3 and thereafter upgradation of E3 by E4, E4 by E5, E5 by E6 and E6 by E7 with a bare minimum financial burden on BSNL.
D Delinking of Pension revision of BSNL Pensioners from 3rd PRC and linking with 7th CPC recommendations: We also apprised Director (HR) about our communication to Hon’ble Prime Minister regarding non-implementation of the recommendations of the 7th CPC to the erstwhile DoT employees who were absorbed in BSNL/MTNL and since retired and are drawing Pension under CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 as amended from time to time.
