NATIONAL UNION OF BSNL WORKERS (FNTO)

REGD NO 4897

REGD OFFICE :- T16, ATUL GROVE, NEWDELHI -110 001

TAMILNADU CIRCLE

NU/TN/Genl dated 16.06.2010

To,

The Chief General Manager,

BSNL, Tamilnadu Circle,

Chennai 600 002

Sir

           Sub:- Request for expeditious settlement of revised wages and         

                                  pensionary benefits thereof -- reg.

          

            I hasten to bring to your kind notice that even after the drawal of arrears on account of 2^nd wage revision to the serving employees of BSNL, the pay fixation for the employees retired from 1.1.2007 to 30.4.2010 has not been done and arrears drawn so far. In some SSAs, the pay fixation has been done partially and yet to be completed.

Generally it is told that in the absence of instructions/directions from Pune for HRMS package, the claims of the retired employees could not be done. It is most unfortunate to deny the claims of the Senior Citizens citing the above reasons. The following are the items of work relating to the BSNL employees retired from 1.1.2007 to 30.4.2010 to be attended to immediately without further delay.

(1) Fixation of revised pay from 1/1/2007 in the revised pay scales

(2) Drawal of arrears on the above revision.

(3) Revision of Pensionary benefits based on the revised pay fixation from 1.1.2007

       In this connection it may be mentioned that the proposals for Revision of pension consequent on the merger of 50% IDA with pay from 1.1.2007 already sent to DOT cell by various SSAs have not been processed due to the impending wage revision except in some cases. Thus the claims of the retired employees are not given due consideration for an early settlement.

     This union therefore request the CGM to kindly look into the matter urgently to cause issue of appropriate instructions or guidelines to all Heads of SSAs for settlement of the dues of the post-2007 retired employees without any further delay.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

(Sd) D. Chandrasekaran,

Circle Secretary.
