GS
meets Smt Anuradha Mitra, Member (F), DOT
Today (4-4-19) , I met Smt. Anuradha Mitra ,
Member (F) along with Coms. Changappa CS and Ganeshan CT at BANGALORE in the
office of CCA KTK.
At the outset, I Congratulated her for having
launched the SAMPNN successfully . While giving a good feedback from the
Pensioners who are getting Pension directly from CCA including sending SMS etc.
we expressed still our concern about a) getting form 16 and b) giving Life
Certificate. Smt. Linda DDG Accts. explained regarding Digital Life Certificate
and Form 16.
Member (F) assured that required care will be
taken so that no Pensioner will be put to any difficulty.
OTHER ISSUES DISCUSSED.
1). Family Pension case of Smt. Manonmani,
Thanjavur.She assured that action will be taken to settle it immediately.
2) Arbitrary reduction of LPD of those in the
scale of 2550-2750 by CCA TN.
She told that a policy decision has to be taken.
3). Grant of minimum Pension of 9000/-
She told that for this also a policy decision
has to be taken.
We requested her to do whatever is required from
her side.
Finally I requested her to take initiative to
solve our PENSION REVISION issue from 1-1-17. She told that this is in the
domain of Member (S). When she was mentioning that DOP&PW hasn't taken any
decision still, I explained the actual position and made over the copies of our
letters to Secretary, Pension on 14-12-18, to JS , Pension on 12-2-19 and
DOP&PW letter to DOT on 8-3-19.
We made out a point that DOT Establishment
section is not taking the required action. In DOT, if anyone feels that the
hike given to us at the time of absorption and according to 2nd PRC is to be
adjusted in future revisions , we will not allow it. We should continue to draw
higher Pension for all the times to come.
At the end, we requested her to take the
initiative as the CUSTODIAN of BSNL/MTNL Pensioners in DOT and sort out our
PENSION REVISION issue at the earliest.
