GNERAL SECRETARY'S MESSAGE

STATUS OF  PENSION REVISION ISSUE

Dear comrades,

A message is circulated about the meeting with Director Estt yesterday (26/4/22) by Com M K Bagchi along with Coms G L Jogi and R K Mudgal. Many of our members raised certain questions about this. I am duty bound to explain after ascertaining the facts.

We have already informed our members that Coms Bagchi and Anupam Kaul will pursue the issue of pension revision after our meeting with officers including Telecom Secretary and Hon MoC during last week of March 22.  As requested by DDG Estt we sent our detailed "note" on 29th March 22.  Based on that input, Estt section did the ground work and prepared 'positive noting' and sent to DoT finance.

In this background Com Bagchi went to Sanchar bhawan and met Director Estt since Anupam Kaul had to go to Meerut to attend UP West circle conference.

Bagchi met the Director Estt separately for about 35 minutes and discussed about the pension revision issue and implementation of Chennai CAT judgement dated 17/2/22.

Later Coms Jogi and R K Mudgal peeped in and Bagchi started to leave the room. But Jogi requested Bagchi to sit along with them. So, he obliged and sat with them.

If any association is firm in  demanding 7th CPC fitment factor like RTOWA, we have no problem.

Every association has got its right to pursue the issue of pension revision according to their wisdom.

We only expect honest reporting from everyone.
