Very good news for the
BSNL directly recruited employees
EPF pension will be revised and it will be based on the
actual basic pay instead of minimum pension. It will be equivalent or even
better than the Govt pension.
Employees from various CPSUs approached
various courts especially at Ernakulam demanding full
pension on the actual basic pay, courts given judgment in their favour. Hon Ernakulam HC given
judgments in favour of the employees of PSUs like Milma, ITI, Instrumentation, HNL, HMT, HIL etc etc. Hon Supreme Court judgment also was in their favour. Some cases are still pending in Hon SC. As per
reports, Hon SC directed the labour ministry to amend
the Rule to extend the benefits to all the similarly placed employees.
Afterwards labour ministry directed EPF to amend the
rules.
As per the proposal, if the contribution
is made on 12% of actual basic +IDA, the pension will be paid on the basis of
actual basic pay. 8.33% of the basic +IDA will be accounted for pension
purposes. The employer and employee will be given an option to switchover to
full pension option, according to reliable sources. If pension contribution is
limited to 12% of 6500 with ceiling, they will not be eligible for full
pension. This will give equal pension for the BSNL directly recruited employees
at par with the absorbed employees.
SNEA struggled since 2003 and got EPF
contribution modified on 12.08.2005 from 12% with the ceiling of Rs 6500 to 12%
of actual basic pay + IDA (without ceiling limit). All the arrears from 2001
also credited into the employees individual account.
As a result of our struggle, now all the BSNL employees will get the full
pension benefits.
In the last CWC meeting at Hyderabad, SNEA
also decided to file case at Ernakulam for similar
benefits.

standard pay scales of E2 and E3 replacing the intermediary pay scales of E1A
and E2A w.e.f 01.01.2007 for JTO/JAOs and SDE/AOs as
per 2nd PRC.

Union cabinet decided to implement standard pay scales in all CPSUs. DPE issued
guidelines and clarification strictly directing all the CPSUs and
Administrative Ministries on 26.11.2008, 02.04.2009 and 24.12.2012 to implement
standard pay scales. DPE further directed BSNL and DoT
on 09.07.2014 to implement standard pay scales only.
BSNL recommended
standard pay scales on 06.06.2016, 9 months back. Again BSNL gave a
presentation to DoT on 10.02.2017 to approve E2 and
E3 scales only without cascading effect, with the approval of MC as it will
address DoT concern.
Some
negative forces in DoT are decided to demote the
cadres to E1 and E2 scales or to extend on E1A and E2A instead of E2 and E3. DoT will be taking a decision on BSNL proposal based on the
suggestion of the few negative officers in DoT
shortly.
It is the time for all
the BSNL Executives to mount pressure on DoT and BSNL
Management to approve standard pay scales of E2 and E3 only. It is a do or die situation for BSNL
Executives.
Be United, come out and join
the struggle from 16th March onwards for approving the standard pay
scales of E2 and E3, for getting E2 scale instead of E1, for addressing the pay
loss and for the recognition and status of the JTO/JAO/SDE/AO equivalent
cadres.
