CWC MEETING
The Central Working Committee of AIBSNLPWA will meet at Nagpur on 17th and 18th March 2015.
The meeting will review the status of two major cases concerning BSNL pensioners –
viz; 78.2% IDA and Pension Anomaly.
General secretary and Treasurer who are in New Delhi for the last one week will report about
their meetings with Member (F), DDG (E) Director (E), Pr. CCA NTR Circle, Secretary to the 7th CPC etc.
The CWC will discuss the issues and take appropriate decisions.
Central government Pensioners were granted the benefit of DA merger long back.
Hence, it cannot be denied to us, the BSNL retirees, who draw pension from Government of India directly.
Both the Department of Pension and Department of Expenditure have given their approval to the proposal
of 78.2%. It should not be delayed or denied by Department of Telecom
MEETING WITH MEMBER (FINANCE)........
On 13th March 2015, our GS Com. Natarajan and Treasurer Com. Gunasekaran,
along with Comrades R C Malhotra, DPS Sisodia and R L Kapoor,
met the Member (Finance) and DDG (Estt) of Department of Telecom
and discussed the case of 78.2%.
GS pointed out the inordinate delay in finalizing the Cabinet Note and
requested the authorities to expedite it without any further delay.
Member (F) and DDG (Estt) informed that they are on the job and assured quick action.

MOBILE CALL RATE WILL GO UP…..
When the mobile telephone service was declared as ‘value added service’
and made over to private companies,
denying permission to Department of Telecom or MTNL
to give the mobile service,
some people who studied the impact of the decision told:
‘as long as the Government sector is in the field as a strong competitor,
the subscribers will be benefited. When it becomes monopoly of the private sector,
the subscribers will have to pay more…”
“Huge outgo in spectrum auction by telecom operators will increase rates for
mobile calls and other services in the long term, although it may not have any
immediate impact on tariffs, industry body Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI)
said on Friday.” [Hindu]
BSNLPENSIONERS’ CONTRIBUTION
FOR RELIEF WORK
All of us remember the devastating HudHud cyclone over coastal Andhra
last year and its aftermath. Andhra Circle unit of our Association collected a
sum of Rupees 2.66 lakh from our members for the Relief activities.
Out of the said amount, a sum of Rs 40000 was handed over to our
Visakhapatnam district unit for giving relief to the affected people there.
Another sum of Rupees 2.25 lakh was handed over to the Chief Minister of
Andhra Pradesh. {Please refer the earlier posting in this website about
the noble work.]
The Picture, attached, shows Com. K S Koteswara Rao, our AP Circle Secretary
and other leaders of AIBSNLPWA handing over the Cheque of Rs 2.25 to
Shri N Chandrababu Naidu, Chief Minister of Andhra.

Com. Natarajan pointed out that even the benefit of DA Merger (78.2% IDA benefit) is not yet given to
BSNL pensioners when all other central pensioners got the benefit long back.
The Secretary said that the CPC has not taken a final view on our issue.
She assured that our demand would be given due consideration and, if needed,
