The United Forum has demanded in the character of demands for the One Day strike, that the clause in the DoT order dated 10-06-2013, which denies payment of arrears on 78.2% IDA merger, should be removed, and also revision of pension based on that, for the employees who retired in between 01-01-2007 and 10-06-2013.

From AIBSNLEA

CMD writes to DoT for payment of arrears due to 78.2% IDA fixation benefit: 


 It is reliably learnt that vide DO no. 1-19/2012-PAT (BSNL) dated 21.10.2013, Sh. R.K. Upadhyay, CMD, BSNL wrote to Secy(T), DoT to reconsider the decision of payment of arrears to the BSNL employees for the period 01.01.2007 to 09.06.2013 in order of positive  boosting of morale of BSNL employees at this crucial financial position of BSNL.

 

It is also understood that CMD has also mentioned in the letter that as per the agreement dated 12.06.2012 it was agreed that the actual payment will be made prospectively and arrears will be deferred till the financial position of the company improves, but with the Presidential Directives dated 10.06.2013 no arrears will be paid. It has become difficult to extent similar treatment to working employees and those who retired between 01.01.2007 upto 09.06.2013.  He also requested DoT to extent the benefit of 78.2% IDA revision to the officials/officers retired during 01.01.2007 upto 09.06.2013.

Such advertisement have neither been issued nor published by BSNL or on its behalf," the statement said.  The company said that it neither appoints any agent nor asks for any kind of money deposit for job or interviews from job seekers. BSNL has asked people to inform vigilance wing of the company about any suspicious communication made to them through e-mails or phone calls.

Rs. 150 billion package?

http://www.tele.net.in/contract-and-orders/item/13050

Therefore, reviving BSNL has become a priority for the government. In April 2013, Kapil Sibal, minister for communications and IT, requested Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to form a committee for recommending revival strategies for the state-run operator. In his letter, Sibal stated that BSNL’s loss is estimated to have reached Rs 100 billion during 2012-13.
Subsequently, a group of ministers (GoM) headed by P. Chidambaram was constituted, which is considering a Rs 150 billion bailout package for BSNL. This would include taking over the company’s debt, waiving licence fees and spectrum charges for three financial years, and allowing BSNL to surrender its broadband wireless access (BWA) spectrum in six circles and refunding the amount to the operator.
BSNL is optimistic about a turnaround after 2018 if it receives the financial assistance. While industry experts are not sure about this, it could be the operator’s only shot at changing its course.
