Allow BSNL retirees to retain their quarters upto 6 months from the date of their retirement, at normal Licence Fee - BSNLEU writes to the CMD BSNL.

BSNL employees can retain their quarters up to a period of 2 months, from the dates of their retirement, at the normal rate of Licence Fee. Thereafter, they have to pay double the Licence fee. Many of the officials who recently retired in BSNL are unable to vacate their quarters and take houses on rental, due to the restrictions imposed on account of the lock-down. Thus, they are under compulsion to retain their quarters and pay double the Licence Fee. Hence, BSNLEU has written to the CMD BSNL, demanding as a onetime measure, to allow the officials to retain their quarters upto 6 months after their retirement, for the payment of normal Licence Fee.
