From the very beginning, we are clear about our demand on our future pension revision.
WE ARE BSNL RETIREES; BUT WE ARE CENTRAL GOVT PENSIONERS.
In 1998 and in 2008, when the CPC reports were implemented on pension, the orders were issued stating that those orders were applicable to all pensioners and family pensioners covered by CCS Pension Rules, 1972. We are getting pension from the Government of India under Sub Rule 37 of CCS Pension Rules 1972. Hence, the seventh CPC Report should cover BSNL retirees also. We approached Secretary, Telecom with this demand. He assured that he would take up the matter with concerned Ministries even if there is no specific recommendation from the CPC.
Some organizations are confused. One day they go to authorities with the demand that the proposed third Pay Revision Committee (PRC to be appointed in 2016 or 2017) should be asked to propose pension revision of BSNL retirees. Next day they go to authorities with the demand for extension of CPC report. We appreciate their anxiety. But we should be firm on the demands. If all the organizations make joint efforts, we can achieve future pension revisions as per CPC reports, without depending upon the financial performance of BSNL company.
