Management should bear the Group Health Insurance premium amount of the employees - BSNLEU writes to the CMD BSNL

A Group Health Insurance scheme has already been implemented for the willing BSNL employees from May, 2022. BSNLEU has continuously been demanding the Management to bear the premium amount of the employees, who have joined the Group Health Insurance scheme. This is in view of the fact that, the expenditure of the Company, on account of BSNL MRS, gets reduced considerably due to thousands of employees joining the Group Health Insurance scheme. However, the Management has not accepted this demand of BSNLEU so far. Presently, the insurance company is increasing the premium amount considerably. Under these circumstances, BSNLEU has once again written letter to the CMD BSNL today, demanding that the Management should bear the premium amount of the employees fully or at least to the extent of 50%.
