Parliamentary Committee on Public Undertakings (COPU) expresses deep concern over non- implementation of Wage Revision to BSNL employees.

The Parliamentary Committee on Public Undertakings (COPU),  in it's 15th report, submitted in the Parliament on 12-08-2025, has expressed it's deep concern over the non- implementation of Wage Revision to BSNL Employees. 

The COPU has pointed out that, huge differences are there between the BSNL employees and the ITS officers, in the matters of Pay, Allowances and Retirement Benefits. The COPU has pointed out that, the ITS officers have got Pay Revision as per the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Committee (7 th CPC). At the same time recommendations of the 3rd PRC are not implemented for BSNL employees. The COPU report states, "ITS officers enjoy more comprehensive allowances and perks in line with central government standards, whereas BSNL employees' benefits are constrained by the company's financial limitations".

However, in reply to the observations of the COPU, the DoT has replied that, BSNL employees are not considered for Wage Revision as per the recommendations of the 3rd PRC, since BSNL is continuously running in loss from the financial year 2009-10 onwards.

The Committee on Public Undertakings (COPU), consists of MPs from all political parties, including BJP, Congress, CPI(M) and other Regional Parties. Thus, MPs of all political parties have expressed their unhappiness over non- implementation of Wage  Revision to BSNL employees. This is the democratic voice of this country the government should consider the COPU report in the right perspective and should implement wage Revision for BSNL employees.
