BSNL TO SANCTION ;GOVT. TO MODIFY.

STRANGE SITUATION

A strange situation still prevails.Technically, BSNL is the Pension Sanctioning Authority for us. May be because of this situation the BSNL offices are asked to process the cases and forward to CCAs to authorize the revised pension.

BSNL has the authority to sanction. But it has no power to increase/decrease a single rupee in our pension. BSNL should take permission from government for that. Government has the power to revise the pension; but it has to wait for the sanction from a company working under it.

This strange situation should got to be be changed. CCAs should be given the power of Pension Sanctioning Authority. All documents are digitalised. BSNL has spent huge amount (Rs 5000 Crore or so) on ERP. There should not be any difficulty to transfer the documents. Now it is 100% responsibility/liability of the Government to pay our pension. The government should have the authority to sanction it also.
