Discussions Held With BSNL and DoT on IDA, DR and Notional Increment Issues
A delegation consisting of Com. Anupam Kaul, Dy. GS, AIBSNLPWA, GS-SNPWA and GS-MREWA met officers in BSNL and DoT on 7th May 2026 regarding the long pending issues concerning pensioners.
The discussions held with Director (Finance), BSNL Board, DDG (Establishment), DoT and Director (PSU), DoT indicate:
1. BSNL has already obtained internal approval for payment of IDA to serving employees w.e.f. 1.1.2026 and is in the process of obtaining approval from Government nominees and external Directors on priority basis.
2. BSNL has already informed DoT that the financial liability can be met fully from BSNL internal resources without external borrowing.
3. DoT officials have also indicated that orders relating to DR from 1.4.2026 are proposed to be issued simultaneously along with the decision on IDA for the period from 1.1.2026 to 31.3.2026.
4. It has now become evident that DoT has linked payment of IDA/DR to pensioners with the decision regarding IDA payable to serving employees, in the same manner in which Pension Revision was earlier linked with Wage Revision.
5. On the issue of extending the benefit of Notional Increment to VRS retirees, DDG (Establishment) informed that DoT Legal Section has decided to challenge the Delhi High Court judgment in the Hon’ble Supreme Court.
Comrades are requested to note that sustained organizational pressure continues to remain extremely important till actual orders are issued.
All units and members are therefore requested to continue full preparations for the Dharna Programme on 20-05-2026 and maintain complete unity and vigilance till final orders are issued.
