AIBDPA agitational programmes on the demand of Pension Revision for BSNL retirees  wef 01-01-2017 are being implemented effectively and sincerely by the pensioners all over India. About two weeks back, about 100 M.P.s have been met by the District / Circle secretaries of AIBDPA through out the country. Since then two or three M.P.s are being met every day by our comrades. In Delhi itself our General Secretary Com. K.G.Jayaraj along with leaders in Delhi has  met some of the M.P.s and presented Memorandum with the request to raise it in the Parliament and with the government.

The next programme is March to Parliament on 12th March 2020, for which thousands of pensioners have already booked ticket to Delhi and will participate in the march.

The payment of Provisional Pension to all the VRS retirees in the first month itself as demanded by AIBDPA, due to the impossibility of finalising the pension  papers and paying pension for 78569 VRS pensioners in addition to the usual superannuation pensioners, has given confidence and faith to the VRS pensioners to AIBDPA. Thousands of VRS pensioners have already joined AIBDPA in all the circles. They have understood that it is the organisation which will continuously fight on the just demands of the pensioners.

The meeting with the Member (Finance ), DOT by General Secretary, AIBDPA, Com. K.G.Jayaraj and the issues raised about ensuring regular pension and pension revision to VRS pensioners have created further confidence in the minds of the concerned pensioners. Many of these comrades re participating in the Parliament March.

LET  US MAKE THE PARLIAMENT MARCH A BIG SUCCESS!

Good response from all over India has received for the programme of meeting the M.P.s and submitting Memorandums on the issue of Pension Revision of BSNL Pensioners with effect from 01.01.2017 with 15% fitment.  More than 100 M.P.s have already been met by AIBDPA leaders and all M.P.s have assured to take up this genuine demand with the government. One M.P. has raised the issue in the floor of the Parliament in zero hour. A cabinet minister has written to the Finance minister on this issue. It is expected that other M.P.s will also take up the issue.

There are more M.P.s to be met. Those Circle / District secretaries of AIBDPA who are yet to meet the M.P.s are requested to meet them early and present the Memorandum.  Within the next two weeks at least the programme should be completed with intimation to General Secretary, AIBDPA, with copy of photos so that the same can be posted in FB, Whatsapp etc.

COMS.V A N NAMBOODIRI, ADVISOR AND K G JAYARAJ, GENERAL SECRETARY HAD MET SHRI.P K SINHA, MEMBER (FINANCE) AND DDG(ACCOUNTS) ON 16-12-2019 .THEY CONVINCED THE PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY TO DRAW PENSION TO ALL THE VRS RETIREES AND DEMANDED PROVISIONAL PENSION.

TODAY ORDER HAS BEEN ISSUED TO PAY PROVISIONAL PENSION @ 50% OF LAST PAY + IDA. WE EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE TO THE MEMBER(FINANCE) AND DDG(ACCOUNTS) FOR CONCEDING THE GENUINE DEMAND.

.ORDER ON PROVISIONAL PENSION.

AIBDPA DEMANDS TIMELY DISBURSEMENT OF PENSION TO THE VRS RETIREES.
Coms.V A N Namboodiri, Advisor and K G Jayaraj, General Secretary met Shri P K Sinha, Member (Finance) and Shri.Amitab Sinha, DDG (Accounts), Department of Telecommunications on 16th December,2019 and had a detailed discussion on processing of pension papers and timely disbursement of pension to all the VRS retirees, numbering 78,569. The delegation pointed out that our CCA offices are not equipped with the infrastructure and staff to deal with such a huge workload which unusual and unprecedented . We are aware that some of the CCAs are utilizing the services of a few retired officials as consultants. However the facts remains that determining the pension in each case requires scrutiny of relevant records and time consuming. It is absolutely impossible to complete the process within the stipulated time.

Therefore the delegation demanded that Provisional Pension be granted to those VRS retirees whose pension could not be determined at the stipulated time frame. Member (Finance) was very positive in his approach and agreed to consider the proposal favourably. He further stated that verification of service books is the main job in this regard and about 33,000 service books have already been verified in the respective CCAs and only Tamil Nadu and Telangana Circles are lagging behind. A high level committee of officers are constituted at DoT and the progress of work is being monitored regularly. The delegation appreciated the initiative and effective measures being undertaken.

The delegation also asked about the payments of ex-gratia to the VRS retirees and the Member (Finance) was hopeful of disbursement of the the ex-gratia in two installments, first in February and the second in June,2020.
