MIOT-ஐ பொறுத்த வரை அவர்களுக்கு கொடுக்க வேண்டிய Bill கள் அனைத்திற்கும் காசோலை அனுப்பி விட்ட தாகவும், அவர்களுக்கு payment சென்று விட்டதற்கான தகவலை எதிர் பார்த்து இருப்பதாகவும் தெரிவித்தார்.  மேலும் Billroth மருத்துவ மனையில் Beds availability இல்லாத காரணத்தினால் தான் admission இல்லை என்றும் தெரிவித்தார். பெங்களூருவில் அப்போல்லோ நமது ஓய்வூதியர்களுக்கு Empanel லில்  உள்ளது போல் சென்னை யிலும் இருந்தால் கூடுதல் வாய்ப்பாக இருக்கும் என்று கேட்டதற்கு, சென்னை அப்பல்லோ, அவர்களாக வரவில்லை . நாங்களாக

நெல்லை ஐ போன்று திருச்சி யிலும் ஒரு மருத்துவ மனை empanel  செய்ய வேண்டும் என்று கோரிய தற்கு, SRM Institute முன் வந்து இருப்பதாகவும் விரைவில் இறுதி செய்ய படும் என்றார்.

Addl Director அவர்கள் மிகவும் பரிவுடனும், அக்கறையுடனும் அவருக்கு இருக்கும் பணிகளுக்கு  இடையில் நம்முடைய கடிதத்தை பார்த்து வேண்டிய நடவடிக்கைகளை எடுப்பதாக உறுதி அளித்தார். நமது மாநில சங்கம் வெளியிட்ட CGHS Guide அவருக்கு கொடுத்தோம். அதை பெற்று கொண்டு நம்முடைய முயற்சியை பாராட்டினார்.

இந்த சந்திப்பு தற்போது உள்ள தேக்க நிலையை போக்கி முன்பு போல் தடை இல்லாமல் MIOT, மற்ற மருத்துவ மனைகளில் treatment எடுத்து கொள்ள வழி வகுத்துள்ளது. மேலும் எப்போது வேண்டுமானாலும் அவரை சந்தித்து குறைகளை தெரிவிக்கலாம் என்றார்.

 DIGITAL LIFE CERTIFICATE BY SAMPANN PENSIONERS CLARIFICATIONS BY CCA TN




 

 DIVISIONAL SECRETARY SPEAKS:

Dear comrades, Good evening. Letter furnishing POINTS  for Adalat discussion, has been handed over to CCA office today. Circle Secretary and DS STR had a Courtesy call with Mrs.GOWTHAMI Joint CCA Pension, who assumed charge recently. She asked about FMA to CGHS Card holders, in non CGHS areas. She told Sri.Dr.Balasubramanian Joint CCA finalised and orders will be issued. We met Dr.Balasubramanian Jt.CCA also. We told Pension credit to SAMPANN Pensioners is made  as NEFT Transfer instead of Pension payment whereas  For SBI ACCOUNT holders credited as Pension. Joint Cca told  it is to be dealt with SBI Adayar nothing to do with CCA office. We insisted Jt CCA to deal with SBI authorities as pension is paid as a cheque by CCA to SBI Adyar. 

                             We requested to make payment on arrears of pension for those whose pension is revised due to NEPP/TBP and pension revised. AO told he will prepare list and get it settled by this month end. Those who have not received pension due to late submission of DLC/LC, Pension will be drawn during this week.Two of our comrades(Smt.Ushadevi and Sri.Hemabiisanam) have recd queries for  their  Co-authorisation of FP request. However, based on our request with CCA Office, directed the / individuals to go and have a personnel request with AO,.   AO pension,CCA office assured they will  reconsider the proposal.  In the meantime, New Jt.Cca assumed charge.To day we were told that Some RTI query has been asked by one gentleman  over the letter issued for Co-authorisation. This was taken as policy issue  and after several years and continuous persuation some decision was taken by CCA OFFICE. No precedence in any other circle. RTI Question may get data collection but not give solution to the issues. I personally feel this may delay in getting orders for pending cases not only to STR Comrades but through out TN Circle. If anyone is having social interest they can voluntarily come forward to get redress their problems to get better solutions.Today, we requested and suggested solutions for resolving two pending cases as the individual should not be put into difficulty because of RTI Query. Authorisation of FP WILL BE issued to dependant siblings/unmarried /divorced daughter's/parents only after ascertaing their income staus. Co authorisation will be issued  only to disabled child  based on Medical ceetificate, which is issued after study. Several other conditions also is there. Previously, minimum income from various other source was minimum pension pay of Rs3500 plus DA. Now, it is revised. So, income certificate needs to be furnished at the time of eligibility. So, after submission of further documents only, pension order will be issued. My humble request  not to misguide the comrades. Thanking you. Comradely yours, S.Sundarakrishnan

 PENSION REVISION CASE 

It came up today in the PB, CAT, New delhi at 3.30 pm.

BSNL has not filed it's reply. Our lawyer told the court that despite three chances given to them, they failed to reply and the right to reply should be closed and arguments should start.

But BSNL lawyer objected to that.

Finally court directed BSNL to file the reply within a week's time.

The reply to our rejoinder by the respondents was taken on record. Our lawyer objected to that because there was nothing new.

The next date of hearing is 10/9/21

 DIVISIONAL SECRETARY SPEAKS:

Some of our comrades have doubt and seeking clarrifications that since BSNL CO. has issued orders for IDA revision  to its own serving employees, whether CCA can issue instructions to CPPC to implement the same based on the BSNL CO LETTER. DOT ND has to issue orders to all CCAs and then only CCA TN will issue endorsement to CPPC. We expect similar letter Shortly will be issued to all CCAs by DOT ND.

 BSNL ENDORSED IDA ORDERS


Tuesday, 3 August 2021

 DIVISIONAL SECRETARY SPEAKS:

Dear Comrades, 

Good afternoon.

1.Clarrifications have been sought from some of our comrades, Defrozening of IDA w.e.f .1.7.2021 does not mention about Pensioner. Whether it is applicable to us. Based on this DPE order, DOT will issue order to all CCAs. Then this IDA will be revised. 

2.One of our comrade from STR revised his BSNL MRS option for year 2020-21 for allowance from with voucher. Whereas letter not available with STR. OPTION letter has to be exercised now afresh. 

2.Regarding, Adalat points comrades who had grievances with CCA are requested to send the details in the pro-forma before 7th August. 

General Point. While crediting Pension for SAMPANN PENSIONERS, only STATE BANK OF INDIA account holders are credited as "Pension for the month'. whereas other bank account holders are credited as NEFT TRANSFER FROM SBI. not as Pension credit. Incase if any two other bank customers give grievance with pass book entry xerox we will take up in the ADALAT. Thanking you,

S.Sundarakrishnan
