AIBDPA has been continuously taking up the issue of payment of pensionary benefits at the time of retirement itself. The BSNL had issued necessary instructions also. But in many circles, these are not settled in time and the retiring employees are put to much difficulties. This was taken up with the Member (Finance).

On the day of the Parliament March by AIBDPA on 20th November 2015, the leaders of AIBDPA submitted the demands to the Secretary, DOT and had a detailed discussion with the Member (Finance) in the matter. Now the DOT has directed BSNL for timely settlement of the retirement benefits. BSNL vide its No. 40-06/2015-Pen(B) dated 02-03-2015  has indicated how the retirement settlement process should be taken.

Now it is for the CGMs and CCAs to ensure for the timely settlement. AIBDPA units should take the issue seriously and the settlement are done in time.
