The Corporate Office has issued orders dated 05.07.2026 posting Chief General Managers (CGMs) in seven BSNL circles. For quite some time, several circles had been functioning without regular Chief General Managers, creating serious administrative difficulties and affecting the effective functioning of the circles. BSNL Employees Union had repeatedly highlighted this issue before the BSNL Management on various occasions and demanded the posting of regular CGMs.

The recent decision of the Corporate Office to appoint regular Chief General Managers in seven circles is a welcome step. It is expected that the functioning of these circles will improve under the leadership of the newly posted CGMs. However, a number of circles are still functioning without regular Chief General Managers. The Corporate Office should take immediate steps to fill these remaining vacancies to ensure efficient administration and smooth functioning across all BSNL circles.

It has come to our notice that the Industrial Dearness Allowance (IDA) is expected to increase by 3.5% with effect from 1st July 2026. Although the enhancement has not yet been officially notified by the Government through the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE), the calculation based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) numbers released by the Labour Bureau on 30.06.2026 indicates that the IDA for employees and pensioners covered under the 2007 Pay Scale is likely to be revised upward by 3.5% from 01.07.2026. The official notification from the DPE is awaited, and the exact rate will be confirmed once the Government issues the formal order. 

Meanwhile, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has issued orders regarding the rate of interest on Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) accumulations for the financial year 2025–26. As per EPFO Letter No. INV-11/2/2021-INV/E-41960/2519 dated 01.07.2026, the Ministry of Labour & Employment has approved an interest rate of 8.25% on EPF deposits for the financial year 2025–26. The interest will be credited to the accounts of EPF members in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 60 of the Employees' Provident Fund Scheme, 1952. 

The confirmation of the expected IDA increase and the declaration of the EPF interest rate are encouraging developments for BSNL employees and pensioners. BSNLEU will keep its members informed as soon as the DPE issues the official notification regarding the IDA revision.

Today, it has been brought to our notice that the Government of India has taken a favourable decision regarding candidates appointed on Compassionate Ground Appointment (CGA) in various Central Government departments. As per the order issued on 22nd June by the concerned Pension Department, candidates who had applied for CGA appointment prior to 1st April 2004 are now eligible to avail the benefits of the Government Pension Scheme. This decision was taken following discussions in the JCM meeting, wherein staff-side unions raised the demand, which has now been accepted by the Government. In BSNL, a similar demand has already been raised by the recognised unions in the National Council Meeting. However, the management has not accepted the demand so far. It is also noteworthy that some affected candidates have approached the court and obtained favourable judgments in this regard. In view of the recent decision of the Central Government, it is earnestly requested that BSNL management reconsider the issue sympathetically. Specifically, candidates who had applied for CGA appointment during the DoT period against vacancies that existed as on 30.09.2000 may kindly be extended the benefit of the Government Pension Scheme.This will ensure parity with similarly placed employees in Central Government establishments and uphold the principles of fairness and justice.
