पेंशन अंशदान अब कोई समस्या नहीं - जुलाई 2018 में वेतन संशोधन समिति में तय वेतनमान लागू करें।

प्रबंधन ने नॉन एक्ज़िक्यूटिव्स  के वेतन संशोधन के लिए बहुत कम वेतनमान प्रस्तावित किए हैं। उनका तर्क है कि यदि नॉन एक्ज़िक्यूटिव्स  के लिए लंबे वेतनमान लागू किए जाते हैं, तो पेंशन अंशदान पर खर्च बढ़ जाएगा। प्रबंधन जुलाई 2018 में आयोजित वेतन संशोधन समिति में नए वेतनमानों पर बनी सहमति से पीछे हट गया था। हालाँकि, अब इस समस्या का समाधान हो सकता है। सरकार ने पेंशन अंशदान की गणना वास्तविक मूल वेतन पर करने का निर्णय लिया है, न कि वेतनमानों की अधिकतम सीमा पर। इसलिए, नॉन एक्ज़िक्यूटिव्स  के लिए लंबे वेतनमान लागू करने से कंपनी पर पेंशन अंशदान के कारण खर्च नहीं बढ़ेगा। इसलिए, BSNLEU ने आज सीएमडी बीएसएनएल को पत्र लिखकर प्रबंधन पक्ष और मान्यता प्राप्त यूनियनों के बीच सहमति से जुलाई 2018 में वेतन संशोधन समिति में तय वेतनमानों को लागू करने की मांग की है।
