DPE order on IDA freezing – ignore rumours.

The DPE, vide it’s order dated 08^th January, 2021, has issued a letter stating that, the IDA freezing is not applicable to the Non-Executives. However, vested interests have started spreading rumours. They say, the DPE letter dated 08.01.2021 is addressed to the Ministry of Coal and Ministry of Mines, and hence it is not applicable to BSNL. We wish to point out that, the DPE has clearly mentioned in it’s letter that the IDA freezing order is not applicable to the workmen (Non-Executives) of all the CPSEs (Public Sector Undertakings). Hence, comrades are requested not to get confused by rumours. Order will soon be issued for payment of 11.6% IDA to the Non-Executives of BSNL.
