 Delhi High Court: Government Side Arguments Completed in Pension Revision Case

In the BSNL pension revision case before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court on 12-05-2026, the Government Counsel completed his arguments opposing the claim for pension revision based on the 7th CPC fitment factor of 2.57. It was contended that BSNL pensioners are governed by the IDA/PRC framework and not the Central Government/CDA pay structure, and therefore cannot claim CPC-based benefits. The Government argued that Rule 37-A does not provide for extension of subsequent Pay Commission benefits and that pension revision is limited to the formula applicable at the time of retirement.

The Government highlighted the financial implications, stating that acceptance of the claim would result in an overall burden of approximately Rs 16,938 crore with an annual recurring expenditure of about Rs 4,807 crore.

The Court recorded completion of Government arguments and posted the matter to 14-05-2026 for hearing the pensioners' side.
