BSNLEU is continuously demanding that, the eligible officials working in the CGM Offices, should be permitted to appear in the forthcoming TT LICE, even though CGM Offices are not having TT vacancies. In this connection, the Corporate Office has already given instruction to the CGM Office, Gujarat circle. Now, the CGM Office, Maharashtra circle, has raised the same issue. Hence, BSNLEU has written letter to the PGM(Estt.), BSNL CO., demanding to issue necessary guideline to the CGM, Maharashtra.

डीओटी-DoT द्वारा स्वीकृत पदों पर नियुक्त रेग्युलर मजदूरों को पुरानी पेंशन प्रणाली-ऑल्ड पेंशन सिस्टम का विकल्प चुनने की अनुमति दी जानी चाहिए - BSNLEU ने दूरसंचार सचिव को पत्र लिखा ।

पेंशन एवं पेंशनभोगी कल्याण विभाग पत्र क्रमांक. DoP&PW संख्या 37/05/2021-P&PW दिनांक 03.03.2023 ने पुरानी पेंशन प्रणाली (OPS) में शामिल होने का विकल्प देने के लिए एक अधिसूचना जारी की। इस पत्र के आधार पर BSNLEU ने पहले ही 12.05.2023 को सचिव, दूरसंचार को एक पत्र लिखा है, जिसमें मांग की गई है कि जिन कर्मचारियों को 22.12.2003 को अधिसूचित / विज्ञापित पदों के तहत भर्ती किया गया था, उन्हें भी पुराने पेंशन प्रणाली (OPS)  को चुनने की अनुमति दी जानी चाहिए। इसके अलावा, बीएसएनएल में ऐसे कर्मचारी भी हैं जो पहले अंशकालिन कैजुअल मजदूर थे, जिन्हें बाद में पूर्णकालिन कैजुअल मजदूरों में बदल दिया गया और उसके बाद आरएम के रूप में नियमित किया गया। यह बात सत्य हकीकत है कि इन अधिकारियों को उन पदों पर नियमित किया गया है जो दूरसंचार विभाग द्वारा बीएसएनएल को स्थानांतरित किए गए थे। चूंकि इन कर्मचारियों को बीएसएनएल के गठन से पहले दूरसंचार विभाग द्वारा स्वीकृत पदों पर नियमित किया गया है, इसलिए BSNLEU ने आज दूरसंचार सचिव को एक पत्र लिखकर मांग की है कि ऐसे कर्मचारियों को भी पुरानी पेंशन प्रणाली (OPS) में शामिल होने का विकल्प देने की अनुमति दी जानी चाहिए। और उन्हें भी जीपीएफ में शामिल होने की अनुमति दी जानी चाहिए।

The Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare letter no. DoP&PW No. 37/05/2021-P&PW dated 03.03.2023, issued a notification for giving option to join the Old Pension System (OPS). Based on this letter, BSNLEU has already written a letter to the Secretary, Telecom, on 12.05.2023, demanding that the employees who were recruited against the posts notified / advertised as on 22.12.2003, should also be allowed to opt for the Old Pension System(OPS). In addition to this, in BSNL, there are employees who were earlier part time casual labourers, who were subsequently converted into full time casual labourers and thereafter regularised as RMs. It is a matter of fact that these officials are regularised against the posts which were transferred to BSNL, by the DoT. Since these employees are regularised against the posts sanctioned by the DoT, before formation of BSNL, BSNLEU has written a letter to the Secretary, Telecom today, demanding that such officials should also be permitted to given option to join the Old Pension System (OPS) and that they should also be permitted to join the GPF.
