Order issued for payment of IDA arrears – Victory of united struggle..

The DoT has finally issued the order for payment of IDA w.e.f. 01.01.2026. Today morning, Com. Animesh Mitra, General Secretary and Com. P. Abhimanyu, Vice President (CHQ), met Shri S.P. Singh, PGM(Estt.), for discussion on some burning issues. During the discussion, Shri S.P. Singh informed that the file has been cleared and the IDA arrear can now be paid along with this month’s salary. This is a major victory for the united and sustained struggle of the Executives and Non-Executives against the anti-worker stand of the government. Due to continuous pressure and agitational programmes conducted by the All Unions and Associations (AUAB), the DPE was compelled to remove the para 5, for the IDA payment w.e.f. 01.04.2026.
