Wage Revision Committee meeting held today, but there is no fruitful outcome.

After prolonged delay, the Wage Revision Committee meeting is held today. The Staff Side members in the Wage Revision Committee went for the meeting with much expectation. Especially, in the backdrop of BSNLEU’s submitting of Live Stagnation cases based on 5% fitment and also in the backdrop of the informal discussion of the Wage Revision Committee Committee members held on 19.02.2025. However, nothing happened in the meeting today. This is because, Shri P.C. Bhatt, PGM(EF) is retiring tomorrow and in his place, another Finance Officer, Shri P.D. Chiraniya, PGM(CBB) is appointed as the new member of the Committee today. Naturally, he needs to understand the background of whatever discussions that have taken place so far. Hence, the Wage Revision Committee talks did not advance to the next stage in today's meeting. All the Staff Side representatives expressed their frustration and deep disappointment, since no development was taking place in the Committee, which is being held after 4 months. There were heated arguments made by the Staff Side members in today’s meeting. However, the meeting ended without taking any fruitful decision. Based on the demand of the Staff Side members, the Chairman of the Committee announced that, the next meeting of the Wage Revision Committee would be held in the last week of May, 2025.
