Once again BSNLEU writes to the Secretary, DPE, demanding to issue letter for the payment of the two instalments of IDA to the Non-Executives.

The DPE so far has not issued  order for the payment of 5.5% IDA w.e.f. 01.10.2020. One more instalment of 6.1% IDA has also become due w.e.f. 01.01.2021. On 08.01.2021, the DPE has already clarified that the freezing of three instalments of IDA is not applicable to the Non-Executives of the CPSEs. Even then, it has not issued an order for the payment of the two instalments of IDA. Under these circumstances, the Assistant Solicitor General has informed the Hon’ble Kerala High Court today, in connection with the writ petition filed by BSNLEU, that the freezing of three instalments of IDA is not applicable to the Non-Executives of the CPSEs. Hence, BSNLEU has once again written to the Secretary, DPE, to immediately issue instruction for the payment of 5.5% IDA w.e.f. 01.10.2020 and 6.1% of IDA w.e.f. 01.01.2021.
