Proceedings in Delhi High Court – BSNL Pension Revision Case

As you are aware, the matter was listed today on 27-11-2025 for the Government of India to inform the Court about whether it is agreeable to grant revision of pension to combined service optee pensioners of BSNL by multiplication of existing pension by 2.57 as was done for Central Government employees by the 7th CPC.

When the matter was called out, the Government informed the Court that it cannot grant revision of pension by applying the multiplication factor of 2.57. The Government is adamant on its stand that till PRC recommends an increase in pay for BSNL, the Government of India shall not revise pension of retired employees of BSNL.

In view of the Government’s stand, the Court will have to finally hear the matter and pass a judgment either allowing or dismissing the writ petition. Since it has already heard the matter in part on the last date, it decided to keep the matter for hearing at the end of its board today.

Unfortunately, the matter couldn’t be taken up at the end of the board because of paucity of time. However, we mentioned the matter and the Court agreed to give a short date ie 11.12.2025.

Next date of hearing is 11th Dec, 2025.
