Issuing Presidential Order to the employees recruited against post notified for recruitment, prior to the formation of BSNL – BSNLEU writes to the Secretary, Telecom.

On 03.03.2023, the Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare has issued a letter, wherein it is stated that all Central Government employees who were declared successful for recruitment before the implementation of the New Pension Scheme, are eligible for old pension. (The DoT has endorsed this letter on 17.04.2023.)

On the same analogy, there are employees in BSNL, who are selected for recruitment against the post / vacancies advertised / notified for recruitment, prior to the formation of BSNL. However, these employees are not issued with Presidential Orders and they are deprived of pension under CCS Pension Rules 1972 (now 2021).

Com.Ashok Kumar, Driver, Saharanpur, UP (West) circle, has approved the CHQ with all related documents to prove that he is recruited against post advertised / notified prior to the formation of BSNL. BSNLEU has written letter to the Secretary, Telecom, today, demanding that this official should be issued with Presidential Order and also made eligible for pension under CCS Pension Rules 1972 (now 2021).
