Payment of pending DA to the casual labourers – BSNLEU raises the issue before CMD BSNL for immediate intervention.

It has been 10 months since two instalments of Dearness Allowance (DA) due from January 2025 and July 2025, became payable to the casual labourers in BSNL. As per existing norms, casual labourers are fully eligible to receive these DA instalments. However, it is unfortunate that the Management has not yet issued the necessary orders for payment. On 25.11.2025, Com. Animesh Mitra, GS, BSNLEU, took up this issue during the discussion with the CMD BSNL and requested his personal intervention to resolve the delay. Immediately, CMD BSNL discussed the matter with the Director (HR) and enquired about the reasons for the prolonged delay. Following the discussion, the CMD assured that the necessary action would be taken for the early release of the pending DA to the casual labourers.
