THE QUERIES AND THE FACTS

Department of Expenditure (Min. of Finance) has asked DoT three queries. DoT is now preparing replies to them. 

Query  No 1.  Pension revision with 68.8% was approved by Cabinet.  So, why fresh cabinet approval is not required

for granting 78.2%?  DoT should satisfy itself and convince the DoE.

 

      FACT:  78.2% has to be given as the DA is merged.  50% DA merger was approved by the Government of India

      based on recommendations by Committee of Ministers. 

      Department of Public Enterprises  issued an order on 2-4-2009, based on that decision. 

     Therefore, fresh cabinet approval is not required.

 

Query  No. 2.    Pension liability should not exceed 60% of revenues paid by BSNL to the Govt.

 

     FACT:  There is no such decision/instruction.  

     If the pension liability exceeds 60% of revenues, the BSNL is asked to pay the excess.

     This can be settled by the Govt and the BSNL.

     First of all, DoT should verify if the pension liability with 78.2% benefit exceeds the 60% litmit or not.

 

Query No 3.   Is there any precedent where the DCRG, Commutation, Leave Encashment etc.

      granted  based on NOTIONALLY REVISED PAY ?

      FACT:  Yes.  It was granted  to the FCI pensioners.

      Again, it was granted to organised Accounts cadres in Audit & Accounts Department with approval of Min. of Finance.
