AIBSNLPWA MADURAI DISTRICT .

Gist of Memorandum submitted to 7th CPC.

Thanks to AIBSNLPWATN.

The absorbed employees in BSNL from DoT are covered under CCS Pension Rules 1972 and hence they should be considered as Government Pensioners.  6^th Pay Commission’s recommendations were made applicable to them except the fitment formula.  We request that the fitment formula recommended by 7^th CPC, be made applicable to them also.  The only difference may be, it would be in IDA Pay and IDR instead of CDA Pay and CDR.  To end the duality once and for all, the commission is requested to consider this demand, applying the same fitment formula to absorbed BSNL pensioners on par with Central Government Pensioners, of course without changing the IDA pattern, positively and recommend to the Government accordingly. 

The commission is requested to recommend 

1.Last Pay Drawn as pension and 50% as Family Pension.  The commission is also requested to maintain parity between post 2016 retirees and pre 2016 retirees by adhering to the formula of one grade one pension irrespective of date of retirement (similar to one rank one pension for defence personnel).  

2. 5% increase in Basic Pension for every 5 years after retirement as age-related additional pension upto the age of 80 and thereafter as per the existing scheme.

3.For exempting the pension income from Income tax. 

4.Merger of 50% DR with Basic Pension when it crosses 50%.

5.Restoration of commutation after 12 years instead of 15 years.

6.Hassle free health care facility to Pensioners/Family Pensioners should be ensured.  

7.An amount of Rs.2000/- p.m. without any distance restriction, as FMA and be net of tax.

9.The Government may start Old Age Homes atleast in District Headquarters. 

10.Same percentage of HRA (on basic pension) as being given to serving employees in respective places. 

           11.The Government to pay 3 months Basic Pension as Travel grant and the
