BSNLEU demands repayment of the penal interest recovered from 17 retirees in Sultanpur district.

Heavy penal interest has been deducted from the payment of the terminal benefits of 17 employees who have retired in Sultanpur district, UP (East) Circle. The penal interest had been imposed for not taking insurance coverage for the HBA loan that the officials had availed. Strangely, the penal interest was imposed after repayment of the entire HBA loan has been made. CHQ is pursuing this case with the Corporate Office. Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS and Com.John Verghese, Dy.GS, discussed this issue with Shri Saurabh Tyagi, PGM(Estt.) today. They insisted that, the penal interest recovered from the retired employees should be repaid. The PGM(Estt.) replied that some details have been called for from the CGM Office, UP(East) circle and that the case remains pending due to the non-receipt of the details.
