According to the unaudited accounts of BSNL for the year 2012-13 an amount of Rs.323 crore is shown as rent. In 2011-12 this was Rs. 321 crore.
The Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations has been continuously demanding that all the rented offices should be vacated and the offices to be shifted to BSNL buildings. Of course there may be some places where BSNL may not be having buildings. But that alone can not come to such a big amount.
The BSNL Management should take immediate action in the matter so that the amount of rent being paid can be reduced to the minimum.
