BSNLEU writes to the CMD BSNL, demanding to revise the ceiling for outdoor medical claim, with voucher.

The BSNL Corporate Office has fixed a paltry ceiling for the outdoor medical claim with voucher. According to the Corporate Office letter dated 08.05.2020, 15 days’ pay (basic pay + DA) as of 01.04.2020 has been fixed as the ceiling. It is already 3 years since this ceiling is fixed. During these 3 years, the CGHS rates are considerably enhanced by the government. Further, the cost of medicines have also sky-rocketed. Hence, BSNLEU has written letter to the CMD BSNL today, demanding to immediately revise the ceiling as 15 days’ pay (basic pay + DA) as of 01.04.2023. BSNLEU has also demanded that, every year, this ceiling should be reviewed and fixed as 15 days’ pay (basic pay + DA) as of the 1^st April of that particular year.
