AICPI for October is 287 points.
All India Consumer Price Index (Ind.
Workers) for the month of October 2017 is declared as 287.
It was 285 for the
previous month.
The Index for
November will be declared on last working day of December.Then only we can
calculate the rate of IDA from January 2018.
If the Index for
November remains at 287, then the rate of IDA from January 2018 will be 126.7%.
( Now the present IDA is 124.3%)
If it increases to
288 point, the Rate of IDA will be 126.9%
In
case it reduces to 286, the rate of IDA from January 2018 will be 126.4%.

An Important Decision
SERVICE
BOOKS TO BE KEPT IN CCA OFFICES
We are happy that Department of Telecom has finally
accepted our old demand and issued order on 22-11-2017 and the BSNL Corporate
Office endorsed it today. In 2011, we observed undue delay in many SSAs of BSNL
in processing pension revision cases and demanded that the Service Books should
be shifted to CCA offices and also that the CCAs should be declared as Pension
Sanctioning Authorities. Some CCAs were reluctant to accept the responsibility
on the plea of lack of staff and lack of space in offices.
Now, DOT has accepted the suggestion and issued
orders. In First phase, Service Books of CDA pensioners, retired from Telecom,
shall be taken over by CCA offices. At a later stage, the Service Books of IDA
pensioners retired from BSNL/MTNL are to be taken over by CCAs. Joint CCAs or
Dy. CCAs are declared as Pension Sanctioning Authority for the respective
Circles.
This new arrangement will, we hope, reduce delay in
settlement of pension related issues to some extent. /Of course, the DoT should
sanction additional staff and fill up vacancies without any further delay to
make the step successful.
