Non-payment of 5.5% IDA w.e.f. 01.10.2020 and 6.1% IDA w.e.f 01.01.2021 to the Non-Executives – BSNLEU writes the Secretary, DPE..

The DPE has issued guideline for freezing three instalments of IDA. However, it is categorically mentioned in the DPE order dated 19.12.2020, that the freezing of three IDAs is applicable only to the Executives and the Non-Unionised Supervisors. It implies that the freezing of the 3 IDAs is not applicable to the Non-Executives. However, the DPE has so far not issued guideline for the payment of 5.5% IDA, which has fallen due w.e.f. 01.10.2020 to the Non-Executives. BSNLEU has already filed a case in the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala. At the same time, BSNLEU has also written to the Secretary, DPE, demanding to immediately issue guideline for the payment of 5.5% IDA w.e.f.01.10.2020 and 6.1% IDA, w.e.f.01.01.2021 to the Non-Executives.
