CHQ writes to the CMD BSNL, demanding to refund the unlawful recovery made from VRS retirees in UP(East) circle.

Employees who take House Building Advance, have to take insurance. This is a coverage for any damage that might be caused to the building, on account of fire, flood, etc. In Sultanpur SSA of UP(East), 17 Non-Executives had taken HBA and had already repaid the entire amount with interest. These 17 Non-Executives have retired under VRS. Now, the Management has recovered penal interest from their exgratia amount, stating that they had not taken insurance coverage for the HBA that they had taken. This is a violation of the Hon’ble Supreme Court order. The CHQ has written to the CMD BSNL, demanding to refund the recovered amount.
