 MEDICAL ALLOWANCE WITHOUT VOUCHER

As reported earlier, due to our consistent efforts, the BSNL Corporate Office has restored quarterly medical allowance without Voucher for the Pensioners only. Now, SSA offices are collecting options from the pensioners.

Each and every Pensioner should calculate which is beneficial to him/her and then give option.

For those who retired before 1-1-2007, the quantum of medical allowance is the same what they were receiving earlier till 2011. From that, the monthly amount can be assessed. If the expenditure being incurred by a pensioner is higher than the said amount, it is better to opt for with voucher scheme.

78.2% REVISION:

AGAIN, CORPORATE OFFICE WANTS DATA

In July 2016, the Cabinet decided to revise our Pension with 78.2% IDA. Last date prescribed to complete the work was 31-12-2016. Neither the DOT nor the BSNL honoured it. Then Member (F) of Telecom Commission extended the date up to 10-4-2017.One month has passed since the second date also. Some circles have not cleared the cases of those who retired in 2008 or 2009 even.

Now, the Corporate Office has asked the Circles to intimate number of cases processed and forwarded to CCAs by BSNL SSAs till 31-3-2017.

CO used to ask data from Circles very often.Most of the Circles do not comply with it.This is the BSNL efficiency.
