CHQ NEWS ON MRS,7TH CPC,78.2% DA MERGER

24-4-2015
MRS: RESTORATION OF MEDICAL ALLOWANCE:
HOW MANY, HOW MUCH?    HOW MANY, HOW MUCH?.....................................


Pensioners Associations have been demanding restoration of medical allowance
without voucher at least for the pensioners. 
After lot of persuasion, the BSNL Corporate office asked the Circles to intimate
how many pensioners are availing the BSNL MRS and how much was spent on
outdoor treatment and how much is anticipated as expenditure for outdoor treatment
for the next three years etc. etc.
 
The Circles simply ignored the Circular from Corporate Office, as usual.
Only Corporate Office, Mumbai Telephone Factory, WTR, STR and QA Circles have so far
 replied to the query from the Corporate Office. They represent just 5-10 percent of pensioners.
Now, on 23-4-2015, the Corporate Office has sent a reminder to all Circles to supply the DATA. 
BSNL Circles will not act upon the Circular or reminders and reminders. 
 
BSNL Corporate Office must have some DATA through the ERP. 
Corporate Office should take a policy decision in the matter with that DATA.
