6.1% IDA has become due w.e.f. 01.01.2021 – BSNLEU will ensure it’s payment..

As per the latest All India Consumer Price Index (IW) numbers, released by the Labour Bureau, 6.1% IDA has become due w.e.f. 01.01.2021. It may be recollected that, 5.5% IDA has already become due w.e.f. 01.10.2020, which has not yet been paid. Now, the additional IDA that has become due  from 1st October, 2020 and 1st January 2021 comes to 11.6%. BSNLEU has already filed a case in the Hon’ble Kerala High Court, claiming that the IDA freezing, ordered by the DPE does not apply to the Non-Executives. BSNLEU will take all necessary steps to ensure that this 11.6% IDA is paid to the Non-Executives of BSNL.
