All India BSNL Pensioners' Welfare Association.

GRATUITY UP TO Rs 20 LAKH MANDATORY

IN PSEs FROM 29-3-2018

Department of Public Enterprises has issued orders stating that all PSEs should pay Gratuity at the revised rate; ceiling raised from Rs. 10 to 20 lakh. In the case of those who retired after 1-1-2017 and up to 28-3-2018, it is to be paid if the concerned PSE can afford. But, in the case of those who retired on or after 29-3-2018, revised rate is mandatory. In other words, PSEs should pay at the revised rate to those who retired on after 29-3-2018, irrespective of its affordability.

Since government is paying gratuity to BSNL retirees, the above order may not be applicable to BSNL. The BSNL retirees deserve different dispensation.
