Non-implementation of the MoU by New India Assurance – BSNL taking the issue with the Finance Ministry.

BSNL Management signed an MoU with the Regional Office of the New India Assurance, for the implementation of Health Insurance Policy for BSNL employees. 17,228 BSNL employees opted for this insurance scheme. However, this scheme is not implemented so far, since the Corporate Office of the New India Assurance has not given approval for the MoU. This is undoubtedly an unethical business practice, by the New India Assurance. Both CMD BSNL and the Director (HR), BSNL, have already taken up this issue with the Chairman of the New India Assurance. However, no result has come so far. Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, discussed this issue today, with Shri S.P. Singh, GM(Admn.), BSNL Corporate Office. The GM (Admn.) told the General Secretary that, BSNL is making a complaint to the Finance Ministry, on this issue.
