It is reliably understood from the letter of DOT to BSNL dated 06-11-2018, that the BSNL has proposed to reduce the retirement age of BSNL employees from 60 to 58 to in order to finance the wage revision of BSNL executives/employees. This is atrocious.
When the government increased the retirement age from 58 to 60, the CG employees (BSNL was not formed) strongly protested the extension stating that it will affect the new recruitment. However, the government increased and the workers are adjusted to it. A person arranges his family settlements, taking loans, investments etc. considering the period in service. Reducing the service by two years will be an attack on the lives of the existing workers. The government or the BSNL has no right to take arbitrary decisions. It is understood that BSNL has not even consulted any of the unions in this matter.
The government and the BSNL should immediately drop the proposal of reducing retirement age. There is no justification for the same.

Unions and associations of BSNL should suggest other ways and means to finance the implementation of 3rd PRC. Though the BSNL board passed a resolution to implement the 3rd PRC to the employees. The board did not convince the DOT the ways and means to finance the same. As an outcome of the announcement of Indefinite strike, the MoS for Communications has assured to look into the matter of revision of pay scales of BSNL employees. Now who has to bear the financial burden. BSNL board and employees union together should tell the DOT, otherwise 3rd PRC will be a day dream.
Whether BSNL going to implemented to reduce the retirement age from 60 to 58
Proposals are there, but the same is opposed by the workers and rightly also.
Government should stop to reduce the retirement age 60 to 58 in bsnl,if not then government will lose mp seat in Parliament election.
You have to propagate these issues to the people.

I think Survival of BSNL is much more important then adjustment of Workers. Workers can adjust while working in BSNL but if BSNL fails to survive then certainly no questions regarding its workers. So we should think for long future, not short term benefits.
Certainly.
