Today  myself and  com R L Kapoor  met  DGM Admin  BSNL CO and conveyed our immense concern about undue delay in issuing of orders for without voucher  scheme of our medical  bills.  He told that there was delay in   matter as many branches including finance and Admin were involved and it needed in depth  study of the  feed back from various circles. He was optimistic  that the orders will be  issued  in the coming week. In the mean time GM A also walked  in to his own chamber.  We met him  and conveyed him our serious concerns about the inordinate delay in the matter.  We also emphasized that those who have opted for without  voucher scheme  should be allowed to continue in the same till March 2018. He agreed in principle and assured that orders will be issued in the next week.  We also brought to his knowledge the issue of residential telephone connection  which have been dis connected due to technical reasons. He informed that they are working on providing  mobile  Sim cards to such retirees,  the orders for which will be issued  in two weeks

We Welcome all Comrades 

whole heartedly.

On behalf of our association Coms DG, V.Ramarao and N.S.Dheenadayalan (ACS) met PCCA TN today for about 45 minutes (Due to illness Com K.Muthiyalu and due to some unforeseen development Com A.Sugumaran could not attend).

We recalled our earlier meeting with him in which it was told that the monthly meeting with Jt. CCA is not result oriented    and PCCA informed that he would advise him. But still things have not improved. On the other hand it has become from bad to worst and brought to his knowledge about the behaviour of Jt.CCA with our leaders in one of the meetings two months before. PCCA told that it is their duty to attend to the grievances of the pensioners and Jt.CCA  is a JAG level officer and he should try to settle to the maximum. Though there is shortage of staff and pressure of work those can't be the reasons to react in such a way and non- settlement of even simple problems. PCCA told that he would further advice him and he himself would monitor.

We told him that out of 8 cases mentioned in the letter given to PCCA, only one is settled. He said that he would review.

We brought to his notice very few cases like non-settlement of family pension to Mrs Pandian (Artur, Salem). He died in harness on 1/12/2016 and the papers were sent to CCA office on 15/6/2017. Though DCRG is settled, FP is not settled. He has agreed to look into those cases.

We also brought to his notice about the non-settlement of more than 100 cases of 78.2 and some cases which were not involved in extra increment case but wrongly returned to SSAs along with extra increment cases.

We also told him the need for holding four pension adalats in an year. He agreed in principle and he would try to implement gradually.

Regarding deputing one of the officials to our pension workshop on 15/5/18 he was non-commital but discuss with his officers about the idea.

Later DG and self went to Muthiyalus house, and briefed him.

With Warm Greetings,

V Ramarao, Circle President.

MTNL retirees are also getting pension from government of India directly under rule 37. Hence, they too demand pension revision. A welcome feature is that all the leaders of MTNL staff Unions of Mumbai and Delhi and the Retired Officers Welfare Association of Delhi are united in demanding the pension revision with the fitment formula suggested by seventh Central Pay Commission.

On 22-3-2018, Sri Arvind Sawant MP of Shiv Sena, the founder leader of MTNL Kamgar Union of Mumbai, met Shri Manoj Sinha, Honourable minister for communications and discussed the issues of pay revision and pension revision in MTNL.

On 23-3-2018, on a directive from the minister, Smt. Aruna Sundararajan ITS, Secretary Telecom met leaders of MTNL staff union leaders of Mumbai and Delhi and the leaders of RTOWA Delhi. Of course, the main issue discussed was PAY revision in MTNL.

At the end, all the leaders unitedly raised the issue of Pension Revision, based on the report of Seventh CPC. According to Com. S S Nanda, GS of RTOWA Delhi, the Secretary was positive and assured favourable action in the matter.

We hail the correct stand taken by leaders of MTNL staff Unions of Mumbai and Delhi in demanding pension revision for MTNL retirees based on Seventh CPC report in unison with our demand. Our Shimoga comrades met the minister on 24-3-2018 and placed the same demand.
