WHAT IS
THEIR DEMAND ON METHODOLOGY
FOR PENSION
REVISION?
We are happy that the AUAB
(All Unions and Associations of BSNL staff) had some discussion with
Communications Minister yesterday and during the talks they raised the demand
for Pension Revision also. The Note released by AUAB after the discussion says:
“ The representatives of
AUAB strongly argued that the pension revision should be done to the BSNL
pensioners. It was pointed out that the BSNL pensioners and the Central
Government pensioners are covered by same rules.They argued that when pension
revision is settled for central Govt pensioners, the same should not be denied
to the BSNL pensioners. The Hon’ble Minister assured that needful action would
be taken to settle this issue, and directed the Secretary to take necessary
action.”
Question is what demand they
placed on methodology for pension revision? Some of these leaders were asking
fitment formula suggested by PRC.Somebody else wanted CPC formula.Some others
did not specify.However, it is a welcome feature that all of them want
delinking pension revision from pay revision.
We think of future. What
will happen after ten years? By that time all the absorbee members of these
Unions will retire from service. They should also get pension revision in 2026
or 2027. Tower Company has already come.Government may not roll it back.What
will be fate of BSNL during the next ten years? Will it be possible to look at
pay revision in BSNL or Tower Company at that time?
So, reading the writings on
the wall, we took a conscious stand and demanded pension revision along with
central government pensioners with the same methodology, based on formula
suggested by Central Pay Commissions in future. That only will ensure a
guaranteed system for pension revision for us, for the members of these service
unions in BSNL also.
WE SHALL CONTINUE OUR
EFFORTS.
