Payment of the arrears of the IDA increase w.e.f. 01.10.2020, 01.01.2021 and 01.04.2021 for the Non-Executives of BSNL

After a long waiting, the DPE has issued letter for IDA increase for the Public Sector Employees, w.e.f. 01.10.2020. Everyone knows that, in the writ petition filed by BSNLEU, the Hon’ble Kerala High Court has ordered that the IDA freezing is not applicable to the Non-Executives of BSNL. As a result of this court order, obtained by BSNLEU, the Non-Executives of BSNL will get arrears of the IDA w.e.f. 01.10.2020. Accordingly, arrears for 5.5% IDA increase will be paid w.e.f. 01.10.2020. From 01.01.2021, IDA has increased by 6.3%. So, arrears for 11.8% IDA will be paid from 01.01.2021. Since, IDA is reduced by 1.2% w.e.f. 01.04.2021, IDA arrears for 10.6% will be paid from 01.04.2021. This payment of IDA arrears is a great achievement of BSNLEU. Today, BSNLEU has written to the CMD BSNL to take steps for payment of the IDA arrears without any delay. The CHQ of BSNLEU heartily congratulates all the Non-Executives who are going to be benefitted.
