Payment of notional increment to the employees in whose case their annual increment became due on the next day of their retirement -DoT issued order..

In the case of many employees, their annual increment will became due on the next day of their retirement. In such cases, that increment was not granted. Some years ago, BSNLEU took up this issue in the National Council. However it was not accepted, but the matter was referred to the DoT. Thereafter, Many employees went to the court. Many benches of the Hon'ble CAT have delivered judgement that one notional increment should be granted to such employees, for the purpose of calculating pension. However, Central Government did not accept this judgement and filed appeal in the Hon'ble Supreme Court. This appeal was dismissed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court on 06-09-2024. Yesterday, the DoT has issued letter, implementing the Supreme Court order for DoT employees absorbed in BSNL, with certain conditions.
