No Pension Revision based on 7th CPC recommendation - Pension revision only with 0% fitment- says DoT.

The DoT has issued a letter on 17th November, 2022, addressed to all the Pensioners Associations. The letter is regarding the pension revision of the employees who are absorbed in BSNL and MTNL, from the DoT and then retired. Some Pensioners Associations are demanding pension revision based on the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission.  The DoT has categorically said that, this is not possible. Further, the DoT has stated that it will do pension revision only with 0% fitment. The DoT has also stated that, as and when the Pay Revision of the serving employees takes place, the same fitment would be provided to the pension revision also. Finally, it is stated in the letter that the DoT has requested BSNL / MTNL to provide the pay scales of the Non-Executives.
