It is observed that in many Circles the process of payment of arrears on account of 78.2% benefit is very very slow. Many SSAs have not sent the cases in full to the DOT Cell. Processing the cases of pre-2007 retirees is simple and easy. Readymade Tables are available. Some SSAs have not completed that work even. It tells a lot about the efficiency of BSNL.
We know that processing the Post-2007 cases may take little more time. For that also, we have prepared a very useful Table. It is up to the BSNL authorities to use it.
CHANGES
I personally feel that all organizations representing BSNL retirees should take up the matter for some significant changes in the present system for payment of pension to the BSNL retirees. The ‘Pension sanctioning authority” should be transferred from BSNL to respective CCAs since 100 % liability lies with Government. Similarly the pension amount can be directly remitted/credited in the Accounts of pensioners by CCA offices. Since Department of Posts has started their own Bank, it is not difficult. What is required is a change of mindset. If we think in the traditional way it may be difficult; one can find so many obstacles, hurdles and pitfalls. We must change our way of thinking when the time changes. 
Anything can be changed, if there is a will.
