Dear comrades,
I spoke to Director (Pension) Shri.Harjeetsingh and told him that DoT had made a reference to DoP PW regarding extending 7th CPC benefits like gratuity, minimum pension etc to BSNL IDA pensioners. 

He told that why they wanted clarification every time and they should do it as per CCS pension Rules. Any way he  had not seen the file . He wanted the reference of DoT so that he could pick up the file and clear it.

I tried to get Director ( Estt) , but she was busy. Then I talked to SO Pension to get the reference. He told that it was yet to go to DoP PW and at present it was with the Director (Estt). This is the state of affairs.
