After the meeting with Communications Minister Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad by Com. V.A.N.Namboodiri, Advisor, AIBDPA on 13th May 2015 and pointing out the extreme delay in finalising the Cabinet Note on 78.2% IDA pension fixation, the things started moving. The Cabinet Note was finalised and forwarded to the Minister for approval, The Minister has approved and send it back to DOT.

Today, Com.V.A.N.Namboodiri, Advisor, AIBDPA met Smt. Annie Moraes, Member (Finance) and request for early forwarding of the Note to the other departments for approval before sending to Cabinet. Now the file has been forwarded to Member (Services) for further action. Shri N.K.Yadav, Member (Services) could not be met as he was in MTNL, being the officiating CMD MTNL.

It is expected that the cabinet Note will be forwarded to the other departments like, Pension, Law, Public Enterprises and Expenditure within a few days. AIBDPA is pursuing the case continuously.
