Conversion of landline connections into FTTH - BSNLEU writes to the CMD BSNL demanding continuation of rent free landline connections to employees and pensioners..

BSNL Management has decided to convert all the copper cable based landline connections into FTTH connections by 24.03.2024. Presently, BSNL serving employees and pensioners are provided with rent free residential landline connections. These connections will also have to be converted into FTTH. Minimum tariff for a FTTH connection is Rs.399/-. Even after a 40% rebate, employee has to pay the remaining amount for the FTTH connection. This means abolition of the facility of rent free residential landline connections. Hence, BSNLEU has written to the CMD BSNL today, demanding continuation of the rent free residential landline connections, even after conversion into FTTH.
