BSNLEU writes to the CMD BSNL, demanding immediate settlement of the retirement benefits of the ST employees of Maharashtra circle, who have retired under VRS / superannuation..

BSNLEU is continuously raising it’s voice against the unwarranted harassments being caused to more than 850 ST employees of Maharashtra circle, by the Chief General Manager, Maharashtra circle. These harassments are being caused, based on a baseless and frivolous complaint given by someone, accusing that the caste certificates of these employees are bogus. All these employees have already completed 25 to 35 years of service. Adding insult to the injury to these ST employees, the retirement benefits of the ST employees retired under VRS / superannuation are also not settled. BSNLEU has many times raised it’s objection to this injustice also. Under these circumstances, the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare, has issued categorical instruction now, stating that, the retirement benefits should not be withheld, due to the non-completion of verification of caste certificate. In view of this, BSNLEU has written to the CMD BSNL, demanding immediate settlement of the retirement benefits of the ST employees of Maharashtra circle, who have retired under VRS / superannuation.
