As notified, virtual CWC was held under the presidentship of Com D Gopalakrishnan, CHQ President today (18/7/26).

46 CWC members attended. 4 members expressed their inability to attend because of personal reasons. .... members expressed their opinion that the association has no other option but to file SLP in Hon supreme court against Hon Delhi high court judgement delivered on 1/7/2026 setting aside Hon PB CAT judgement. The only exception was the voice of Com K Muthiyalu who expressed his opinion against filing SLP and said that Delhi HC judgement is correct.
With his lone dissent voice 
The Central Working Committee of AIBSNLPWA, which met virtually today resolved to challenge the judgment of the Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the BSNL Pension Revision case by filing a Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India.

The CWC resolved to engage the best available Senior Counsel/Advocate to effectively present the case and protect the legitimate demand of pension revision to BSNL and MTNL absorbed pensioners. At present there is no need to seek donation and the expenses shall be met from the available legal fund.
The CWC noted that this decision is in conformity with the resolution of the Ernakulam All India Conference to pursue the pension revision issue to its logical conclusion. The CWC authorised CHQ to take all necessary steps in this regard

The CWC appeals to all members to remain united and extend their full cooperation and support to CHQ. All are requested to take this decision to the grassroot members and the leaders have to adhere to the organisational discipline  and tell the CWC decision only.

The operative part of the Delhi High Court judgment is contained in paragraphs 269 to 273. It reads in substance as follows: 

269. Rule 37A of the CCS (Pension) Rules provides a special statutory framework for DoT employees permanently absorbed in BSNL/MTNL. On absorption, they cease to be Government employees, come under the IDA pay pattern, and are governed by the rules applicable to the PSU. Therefore, they cannot claim the benefits of the Central Pay Commission recommendations.

270–272. The Court held that Rule 37A only assures the same formula for calculation of pension at the time of retirement, and does not confer any continuing right to claim future pension revisions under the 7th CPC. Neither Rule 37A nor the Office Memoranda relied upon by the respondents entitle combined service pensioners under the IDA regime to pension revision under the 7th CPC. Since the 3rd PRC has not been implemented, the question of consequential pension revision also does not arise.

273. For all the aforesaid reasons, the impugned order dated 20.09.2023 passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal is set aside. Accordingly, this batch of writ petitions stands allowed.

Solan District , Himachal Pradesh District conference is held on 21-06-2026 at Solan. The following office bearers were elected unanimously: President: Shri Daulat Ram Sharma District Secretary: Shri Vimal Bhardwaj  Treasurer: Shri Madan Lal Sharma

AIBSNLPWA has urged DoPT to review its clarification denying the benefit of notional increment for calculation of family pension. The Association has pointed out that family pension is linked to the Last Pay Drawn (LPD), and therefore any increase in LPD due to notional increment should also be reflected in family pension. A suitable clarification has been sought to avoid anomalies, hardship to family pensioners, and unnecessary litigation.
