Payment of IDA arrears to the Non-Executives – BSNLEU seeks the intervention of Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon’ble Minister of Communications..

The IDA increase of the BSNL Non-Executives, for the period from 01.10.2020 to 30.06.2021 was frozen by the Management without any authorisation of the Government. BSNLEU filed a writ petition in the Hon’ble Kerala High Court. An order was issued by the Hon’ble Kerala High Court on 17.02.2021, directing the CMD BSNL to pay the IDA increase. However, on 18.01.2022, the DoT issued direction to the CMD BSNL not to pay the IDA arrears. Ever since then BSNLEU is knocking the doors of the Secretary (Telecom), Member (Services), etc., for getting the payment of the IDA arrears. Today, BSNLEU has written letter to Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon’ble Minister of Communications, appealing to him to intervene on this matter.
