BSNL has launched “Project Tarang” to provide mobile connections to all officials of the Income Tax Department. Under the agreement between the BSNL & Income Tax Department, SIM cards will be given to all officials of IT Dept.  Officers will be issued with Data Cards. The officers in the rank of Commissioner and above have been provided with Blackberry Mobiles.

We congratulate the BSNL management and IT Dept.  for this agreement. The idea was mooted and initiative taken by  V.A.N.Namboodiri, then General Secretary, BSNLEU and K.K.N.Kutty, former  Secretary General of ITEF(Income Tax Employees Federation) and Secretary General of Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers. Both Unions took up the matter with the concerned management/Department and agreement has been reached now. Many more such agreement are necessary with other departments and PSUs.
