The reply given by BSNL vide its No. 1-9/2012-PAT (BSNL) dated 08-08-2013 to DOT stating that since 78.2% pay fixation orders are only “effective from this date (10-06-2013), the issue of pay revision, notional or otherwise, of those employees, who retired between 01-01-2007 and 09-06-2013 does not arise” is completely atrocious,unwarranted and in violation of the agreement reached between the BSNL Management and the Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations. We strongly oppose this clarification of BSNL denying the right for 78.2% pay fixation for those retired between 01-01-2007 and 09-06-2013 and demand the management to withdraw its clarification and issue revised clarification granting the pay fixation to those employees, who retired before 10-06-2013 als.

We demand the DOT to reject the clarification of the BSNL and issue orders for payment of pension to post-2007 retirees granting the 78.2% pay fixation.
