Pension contribution is no more a problem - implement pay scales finalised in the Wage Revision Committee in July 2018.

The Management has offered very short pay scales for the Wage Revision of the Non- Executives. Their argument is that, the expenditure on pension contribution will increase, if longer pay scales are implemented for the Non- Executives. The Management had gone back from the consensus reached on new pay scales in the Wage Revision Committee held in July 2018. However, this problem can be solved now. The government has taken decision to collect pension contribution calculated on the actual basic pay and not on the maximum of the pay scales. Hence, implementing longer pay scales for the Non- Executives will not result in increased expenditure for the Company, on account of pension contribution. Hence, BSNLEU has written letter to the CMD BSNL today and has a demanded implementation of the pay scales finalised in the Wage Revision Committee in July 2018, through consensus between the Management Side and the Recognised Unions.
