As per my information the information given on 22.6.10 by Sh. Rakesh Srivastava Ex.ADG BSNL CO, on BSNL and DOT Pensioners` Association website that the file is sent back by Secretary (T) to TPF wing for verification /occurrence, is correct. But it is not understood that when the file for revision of pension was already sent to him after proper examination by all concerned officers including Member (Services) and Member (F) of the DOT the action of Secretary attributes to delay the case further, perhaps on the behest of unabsorbed ITS officers.

 

Though during the last week Secretary (T) has given assurance to Union Leaders to complete the process within the time period fixed by Hon’ble MO(C)&IT , but the work so far done in last two months and yet to be done shows that the completion of work will take more than two months as after preparation of Cabinet Note the concerned ministries may take about two months to give their comments on revision of IDA pension against the prescribed period of fifteen days to give their comments and Cabinet may also take about one month to approve the Cabinet Note in normal process. Sh. PSR rightly said at the time of announcement by Hon’ble minister in April this year that the approval of Cabinet may be by September 10.

 

The purpose of writing is that DOT is not interested in revising the IDA pension even not willing to give correct information and concerned documents under RTI Act 2005 despite requesting twice during last six months for this under RTI Act, so we all should get together and adopt some other constitutional ways and means to get our rightful demand fulfilled.

 

I am also dealing two other cases i.e., anomaly in pension those who retired from BSNL before 31.7.2001 and revision of orders of DOT of Special Allowance to Group A on absorption in BSNL issued not as per approval of Cabinet dt. 24.7.2008 with DOT and other concerned departments under RTI Act, but unable to get any proper response from DOT, Cabinet Secretariat Rashatarpati Bhawan and DOP &PW.
