PENSION REVISION- MEETING WITH ADDITIONAL SECRETARY, DoT
General Secretary, Com.K.G.Jayaraj met Shri.Anshu Prakash, the new Additional Secretary , Department of Telecommunications on 10-12-2018 and congratulated for assumption of charge and thanked him for taking a very positive and active role in the discussion held by the Hon’ble Minister of Communications with AUAB leaders on 03-12-2018.
General Secretary brought to his notice that now that the DoT has agreed to delink wage revision for pension revision, it should be revised from 01-01-2017 with 15% fitment, recommended by the 3rd PRC, as had been done at earlier occasion with effect from 01-01-2007. A detailed letter in this regard was also handed over to him. The Additional Secretary stated that it will be considered at the appropriate time and a meeting is proposed to be held with the AUAB leaders on next week.
My wishes to all the pensioners and specially my co-pensioners of BSNL. The message of this day (Dec 17th) is the principle of modified parity to the past pensioners linking them with their future pensioners. The concept of oneness thro one rank one pension is seen as a justified one. By asking ‘delinking’ we are unfortunately giving up this principle of parity with our future pensioners. This one is tantamount to say to keep us the past pensioners to rank high against our future pensioners and yielding to treat equals differently.
Any Pay Revision is not only providing pay revision to employees in service and continuing the service, but also giving pension revision to the retirees during post pay revision period. This pension revision of those category pensioners is only linked to the past pensioners for their pension revision based on the above said principle. Pay revision is for all serving employees but when it leads to pension revision for some pensioners who were eligible for pay revision then the principle of modified parity is applicable to the past pensioners. In today’s condition the past retirees of BSNL can get a link only from the future retirees of BSNL alone, not from future retirees of central govt.

Dear Comrade, I was on tour till today and did not attend to the blog. Sorry.
IS aibdpa thinking in terms of short term gain or a permanent solution FOR PENSION REVISION? NEXT time the PRC may not recommend any fixation amount AND DOT MA NOT TAKE ANY ACTION AS PER PRC RECOMMENDATIONS.
then what will hppen? IT IS FELT AIBDPA IS TRYING TO UNDO THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE AUAB THROUGH THE NOTICE OF STRIKE.
In fact, AIBDPA is fighting to consolidate the achievement already got and improve it. AIBDPA do not want to lose the IDA higher wages and highr pension than the CGEs to be consolidated and further advance made.
