Comrades,
Today (08-02-2022) Com Anupam Kaul, our AGS along with Com. G L Gogi GS, SNPWA met CMD, Dir(Hr) and Dir ( Finance)/ BSNL and discussed following issues.
1. MIGRATION TO CGHS.
On the issue of opening awindow for direct payment by BSNL to CGHS for migration from BSNL MRS to CGHS, CMD, in our presence, issued instructions to Dir( HR) to opena window immediately for payment of one time CGHS contribution directly by BSNL to CGHS to facilitate migration to CGHS and keep it open till 31st March, 22. This indeed is a very positive development and now our appeal to our Comrades is to immediately migrate to CGHS as theyneed notspend money and wait forreimbursement. Let us wait for the orders.
2. RELAXATION OF VRSCONDITIONS.
On the important issue of relaxation of VRS conditions to enable spouses of VRS optees payment of both gratuity and pension commutation in the event of unfortunate death of a VRS optee, CMD categorically and wholeheartedly assured that he will take up this issue personally with Secy/ DOT and even plead with him to get VRS conditions relaxed in such cases including going to Union Cabinet, ifneeded. CMD is fully convinced on this issue and will surely resolve it. In fact, he has already got some positive indications from DOT on this issue after we briefed him last time on this issue.
3. IT ISSUE
Regarding notices being received from income tax authorities for levying of tax on leave encashment of DOTperiod, CMD assured that BSNL will continue to pursue this issue with concerned authorities of income taxinformally even though he is not personally convinced on this account since the payment of leave encashment is made by BSNL, as an employer, not DOT, and tax has to be levied as per the provisions of tax applicable to CPSEs. Nonetheless,he assured that BSNL will continue to pursue the issue with concerned tax authorities.
4. ST CASES OF MH CIRCLE.
Regarding withholding of terminal benefits to ST Comrades of MH Circle,after a very detailed and prolonged discussion,CMD asked us to wait for just one month since he is personally in close touch with Secy/ DOT on this issue to sort it out at the earliest.
