Indifferent attitude of Circle Administration in Bihar – 16 officials still deprived of EPF Contribution since their date of joining.

In Bihar, 16 officials in the ATT and TM cadres were converted from GPF to EPF about 10 months ago, following the Corporate Office’s directive for such conversion. While the CNTX(E) Circle and Bihar Circle carried out the conversion, the BSNL management has not deposited their EPF contributions from the date of their joining in ATT/TM cadre. The issue was raised during a formal meeting with the Director (HR), but the matter remains pending at the Corporate Office. The CHQ discussed the issue with PGM (Estt.) and CGM (ETR) and the Circle Secretary also took up the matter with the CGM of Bihar Circle. On 23^rd March, 2026, the CHQ met the Director (HR) and submitted a formal letter regarding this issue. The Director (HR) assured that necessary action would be taken in consultation with the Circle administration and the concerned officer at the Corporate Office.  Letter addressed to the Director (HR) is enclosed herewith.
