It 1s to inform that pensioners receiving pension directly from CCA offices via SAMPANN/ FMS have been given relaxation to submit their Life Certificates (LC) in a staggered manner by way of staggering. a pensioner has to submit the Life Certificate within one scar of last submission of in November as per convenience.

Also check: Every Central Government pensioner has to submit life certificate from October 2020 till December 2020

2. Further, several such pensioners did not submit Life certificate in November, 2019 who were due to submit their LCs in the months between February, 2020 and July, 2020 as one-year period was getting over by then keeping in mind the vulnerability of senior citizens to Covid-19 pandemic and convenience of pensioners, the timelines for submission of Life Certificates were extended from time to time. The last extension was given till 30th September, 2020 by which pensioners had to submit their Life certificates i.e. for such pensioners, for whom the pension till August has been paid. Additionally, CCA offices had been advised to reach out to pensioners via SMS and calls to ensure submission of the Life certificates on time.

• I. BSNL has directed its units to set up DLC facility at one CSC in each SSA and the same is being coordinated by CCA offices.
• II. Banks have been asked to provide Digital Life Certificate/ Life certificate to pensioners having hank account with them. SBI has already directed its branches for the same. Further, list of pensioners- hank branch wise has been circulated among all CCA offices so that pensioners can be assisted.

Those SAMPANN/FMS pensioners whose Life Certificate would be expiring on 31st October 2020 (1. pension payable till October 2020) or 10th November 2020 (i.e. pension payable till November 2020), may be allowed to submit DLC/LC from 1st November, 2020 onward till 31st December 2020. However, the pensioners in the age group of 80 years and above. in above category. can submit Life Certificate from 1st October, 2020 onwards, to 31st December, 2020. Further. the pension shall continue to be paid by the CCA offices uninterrupted till Dec 2020 in above cases.

Main Recognised Representation Union,

BSNLEU/ 604 (DEV)

To,
Shn Ravi Shankar Prasad Ji,
Hon’ble Minister of Communications,
Sanchar Bhawan,
20, Ashoka Road,
New Delhi- 110001

Sir,
Sub: Crucial issues related to the revival of BSNL – reg.

At the outset, BSNLEU, the main recognised representative union In BSNL, heartily welcomes you, on your assuming change as the Hon’ble Minister of Telecommunications and IT. On this occasion, BSNLEU welcomes and also highly appreciates your statement that, BSNL and MTNL should remain healthy in the nation’s interest. BSNLEU also approves your view that BSNL and MTNL need to become professional and adopt the competitive, attitude. In this connection, we also recollect the statement made by you, in your earlier tenure as the Honb’le Minister of Communications and IT, that BSNL was not allowed to grow for 10 years from 2004. BSNLEU assures to strengthen your hands, in all your endeavours to strengthen BSNL.

It is not out of context to point out here that, the entire telecom sector is stressed due to the predatory pricing being adopted by Reliance Jio. Due to this, all the telecom service providers. including Airtel and Vodafone Idea, have gone into loss. However, even under such a stressed situation, it is only BSNL, apart from Reliance Jio, which is consistently expanding its Mobile Customer bass every month. Under these circumstances, we wish to reiterate that, an early allotment of 4G spectrum to BSNL, by the government, will go a long way In speedily restoring the financial health of BSNL.

At this juncture, it is our duty to bring to your kind notice that, two Important decisions of the Union cabinet, taken in September, 2000, i.e. on the eve of the formation of BSNL, are yet to be implemented. Both these decisions are very crucial for the financial revival of BSNL The first decision is that, the government would do everything possible to keep BSNL financially viable. It is needless to state that this decision needs to be implemented in letter and spirit. The second decision is that. alt the asset and liabilities of the department would be transferred to BSNL While the liabilities stand transferred to BSNL, the assets are not transferred to BSNL. We request you to kindly look into these and to do the needful.

At this juncture, we also like to draw your kind attention to the moves presently being, made by the DoT and BSNL Management, to implement VRS, is well as the rolling back of the retirement at from 60 to 58 years, in the name of reviving BSNL’s financial health. When 79,295 employees, from the present strength of 1,65,657, are going to retire In the next 4 years, ie., by April,2024, we do not understand the logic behind the urgency to implement VRS in BSNL. Similarly, as per the assurance given by the government in 2000, to the erstwhile recognised federations, only the government rules with regards to retirement age, are applicable to BSNL employees. We request you to kindly look into these aspects.

Another important aspect, connected with the revival of BSNL is that the Company is having vacant lands throughout the country, whose value is pegged at more than Rs.1 lakh crore. BSNL Management has estimated to earn Rs. 5000 crore to Rs. 10,000 crore per annum, by renting / leasing out those vacant lands. However, the DoT is yet to accord necessary approval to BSNL, for the monetization of the vacant lands. Similarly, the government of India Rule, in respect of payment of Pension Contribution, is yet to be implemented in the case of BSNL, as a result of which a huge amount is being collected in excess every year from BSNL, in the name of Pension Contribution. An early decision by the DoT in these issues, will go a long way to ensure the financial revival of BSNL.

Finally, the issues of implementation of 3rd Pay Revision to the BSNL employees, and also the issue of Revision of Pension to the BSNL retirees are, agitating the minds of the employees and the pensioners, An early, as well as positive decisions on these two issues, will greatly motivate the Executives and Non-Executives of BSNL, to contribute their mite for the Revival of BSNL.

We request you to kindly look into these issues and to ensure a positive settlement of the same.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
P. Abhimanyu
General Secretary

New Delhi: About 27,000 staff of MTNL will be retiring in the next 10 years, bringing down the salary burden of the debt-laden public sector firm.

At present, around 70 per cent of the total revenues of the state-run telco is used to pay salary to 34,000 staff.

A top official of MTNL told PTI that 27,000 staff are going to retire in the next 10 years.

MTNL, which offers telecom services in Delhi and Mumbai, has also identified 13,000 employees, whose skills are not relevant due to the changing technological advancements in the telecom sector.

The employees are though utilised in some other services.

“We have 13,000 employees whose skills are not relevant in the changing technological environment in the telecom sector. We have identified them as wasting cadre, which means we don’t require that set of people when they retire,” the official said.

According to a standing committee report, which was tabled in Parliament recently, MTNL CMD P K Purwar had said that the turnover of MTNL in 2014-15 has been Rs 3,600 crore and the operating loss is about Rs 3,000 crore.

“The biggest reason for this loss is the cost of salary to its 34,000 staff, which is around 70 per cent of the total revenue,” he had said.

The Department of Telecom has informed the committee that MTNL is under a serious debt burden of around Rs 16,332 crore (as on January 2015) and is unable to mobilise funds required for various network ungrade and expansion projects.

“At present, MTNL is passing through severe financial difficulties because of which it is able to take up only those projects for which external funding arrangements are made,” the report has said.

Government had constituted a Group of Ministers (GoM) on 17.04.2013 to recommend short term, medium term and long term measures for revival and revitalization of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL). Department of Telecommunications has circulated a draft Note for inter-ministerial consultations on 30.10.2013 proposing preferential treatment to BSNL and MTNL services in Central Government Ministries/Central Government Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and Autonomous Bodies to enhance the revenues earned by BSNL and MTNL.

The proposal is not contrary to economic policy as it is limited to Government employees for whom reimbursement facility from Government is provided and limited to the extent of the reimbursement and to Government departments & PSUs for official use. The matter is presently under consultation and no decision has been arrived at.
