CCAs ARE READY; BUT NO ORDER FROM DOT
CCA offices in almost all Circles are ready with manpower and software to process the pension cases of VRS Optees. They can authorize the pension only after getting particulars from BSNL Circle Offices. That is not coming. Hence, immediately provisional pension only may be authorized.
But, for giving provisional pension also the CCA offices require particulars from the BSNL on Pay drawn in January 2020 by each VRS Pensioner. More than that, a specific order from DOT Headquarters is essential.
BSNL management has failed to supply the particulars to DoT Cells. DoT HQ has not yet issued any order.
..............
DOT is the authority to pay pension. Unfortunately, the staff unions failed to obtain any proper assurance or order from DoT on pension to the VRS Optees.
OUR ASSOCIATION HAS TAKEN UP THE MATTER WITH DOT. WE HAVE REQUESTED THE DOT & MTNL TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION SO THAT CCAs CAN AUTHORIZE PROVISIONAL PENSION TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CAME OUT UNDER VRS.
