BSNLEU is continuously pressing on the Management to implement the Corporate Office order, regarding EPF coverage for the induction training period. The EPFO has fixed 26.06.2023 as the last date for submitting option for higher pension. If the training period is counted, a section of the Directly Recruited employees will become entitled for applying for higher pension. On 12.06.2023, President and General Secretary discussed this issue with the Director (HR). Yesterday, again the President and General Secretary of BSNLEU, met the CMD BSNL and insisted for the immediate settlement of this issue. The CMD BSNL assured that the issue will be resolved within a day or two, to enable the eligible employees to apply for higher pension.
