Implementation of the order delivered on 08th August, 2025 by the Hon'ble CAT Chandigarh Bench - BSNLEU writes letter to the Secretary, Telecom, demanding immediate implementation of the order.

The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has already delivered a landmark judgement, directing the government to grant the status of DoT recruitees to the employees recruited by the DoT, but who were appointed after the formation of BSNL. However, the DoT has taken an unfair stand that, the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court would be implemented only to the officials who had approached the court. BSNLEU is repeatedly writing letter to the government, requesting to extend the facility to the similarly placed officials, who have not approached the court. Now, the Hon'ble CAT, Chandigarh Bench, has issued an order on 08th August, 2025, in favour of 253 employees of Punjab circle. The recruitment process of these employees was started by the DoT, but they were subsequently appointed after formation of BSNL. The Hon'ble CAT has directed the DoT to extend the benefits and service conditions, including GPF, old pension scheme, family pension, gratuity, LTC, leave encashment, medical facilities and promotional avenues to all the 253 employees at par with the DoT employees absorbed in BSNL after 01.10.2000. A copy of the Hon'ble CAT is enclosed for the information of the employees.
