About BSNL-AIBSNLEA says.after meeting DoT(s)

a) Viability of BSNL: - We requested for DoT support to BSNL to make it further profit making PSU. Member(S) mentioned that today morning Hon'ble MOC&IT conducted performance review meeting of BSNL with CMD, BSNL & Board of Directors of BSNL. Wherein BSNL Management presented the developmental plans revenue earning data etc and it is found that BSNL revenue earning is reducing year by year. In the last year, the revenue from Landline was about 20,000 Cr, which is now reduced to 8,000 Cr & revenue of GSM  Lines from last year i.e. 5,000 Cr has increased to 10,000 Cr. Hence overall revenue earning has reduced. Which reflects that even after the withdrawal of ADC Charges, payment of license fee, USO Charges, payment of spectrum charges; the revenue of BSNL has decreased. In view of this, BSNL has to earn revenue to earn profit.
