In the last financial year 2013-14  BSNL is in loss of  Rs. 7019.76 crore. This is the fourth consecutive year BSNL is in loss. The only consolation is that the loss is slightly less than last time, which was  Rs. 7884.44 crore.

Another welcome factor is that while only one circle, Kerala, was in profit in 2012-13, there are three circles this time, Kerala, J and K and Odisha. Profit of Kerala is Rs. 396.80 crore, J and K Rs. 9.37 crore and Odisha Rs. 5.16 crore.

The salary bill which was almost the same for the last three years have increased by about by Rs. 1,700 crore mainly due to the increase in wages after the implementation of 78.8% IDA merger for the employees w.e.f. 10-06-2013.

We congratulate the above three circles which had made profit. We hope that all other circles also will make maximum efforts to ensure profit in this financial year. Nothing is impossible.
