PENSION ANOMALY CASE - SETTLED

Pension Anomaly case settled - DOT Order issued today 


Further Action : 
It is a clear order that DOT has issued on 7-10-2021 on Pension Anomaly Case won by AIBSNLPWA. 
Affected pensioners need not apply. CCAs should not  demand any application from the Pensioners. 
CCAs can revise the pension of the affected pensioners  based on the records available in their offices, issue sanction and authorize the Pension Disbursing Authorities, Banks/Post Offices. 
There is no need of referring the case to BSNL SSA office or Circle Office.
Banks and Post Offices will calculate the arrears  based on the authority issued by CCA. In the case of Banks, their CPPCs may be preparing the Due-Drawn statement. In the case of pensioners drawing pension through Post Offices the Director of Postal Accounts/ General Manager Postal Accounts and Finance will be doing it.
All those who retired during the period from October 2000 to June 2001 are affected by the anomaly and are entitled to revision of pension from the date they retired with all consequential benefits. 
There shall not be any change in Family Pension because FP is granted based on Last Pay Drawn by the employee.  In the case of those beneficiaries died ,  nominees will get the Life time payment. If no nominee is shown in the records then it will go to their legal heirs

AN APPEAL TO BENEFICIARIES
Dear Comrades,
You retired about 20 years ago. Some of you were not aware of the loss you suffered in your pension due to the pension anomaly. Those who were aware of it could not do anything individually.
For 12 years the issue was discussed without any result. In 2009 AIBSNLPWA  was formed. It started collecting details of your anomaly.
In 2010, Com. D Gopalakrishnan sought certain information under RTI Act, collected details and Com. PS  Ramankutty, the then GS of AIBSNLPWA wrote a letter with 13 annexure to DoT. Thus the ‘closed file’ was re-opened.
In 2012, Com. G Natarajan, GS of AIBSNLPWA wrote number of letters to  DoT on the anomaly. AIBSNLPWA submitted many a documents. In 2014  AIBSNLPWA filed the original case before CAT New Delhi. Leaders of  AIBSNLPWA invested lot of time and energy for the case.
AIBSNLPWA rather fought six cases, not one.
1. Original Petition in 2014. 
2. Contempt in 2017 before CAT. 
3. Caveat in Delhi High Court. 
4. Against DoT’s appeal in High Court. 
5. Contempt of Court before CAT. 
6. Contempt to Contempt before CAT.
AIBSNLPWA spent about Rs 5 lakhs from its general fund, a fund that  belongs to its 95000 members for the benefit of 4000 people. We did not collect a single rupee from you for your case. Now, you will receive soon the benefit of our efforts for seven long years. Hence, it is quite appropriate to recoup the amount to general fund of AIBSNLPWA. We do not fix any amount. It is left to you. Even if you are not a member of AIBSNLPWA we expect a generous contribution from you. We welcome you to AIBSNLPWA.  Arrears shall not be same for all. Those who lost more will get more now. Those who retired in October 2000 will get more as arrears.
It is best if you send your donation on-line to AIBSNLPWA (CHQ), SB A/c No 67100927818; Bank: State Bank of India, Branch: Chennai Nandambakkam. IFSC of the Branch: SBIN0002239. Immediately after transferring the amount please send an SMS or Whatsapp message to our Treasurer Shri T S Vittoban over his  phone: 9444923732 intimating your full postal address so that he can send the Receipt to you.

TAXATION ON CGHS REIMBURSEMENT AND DCRG

Corporate office issued a clarification regarding taxation on payment to retired employees on 22/9/2021. 
Immediately our association wrote a letter on 23/9/2021 itself mentioning the relevant rules and asked for issuing necessary corrigendum. Yesterday, 4/10/2021, our AGS Com Anupam Kaul met the AGM (taxation) in corporate office and discussed. As per our AGS request, our Vice President Com DG also spoke to that AGM over phone. First reaction from him was that no other organization has raised any objection to the letter. 
The AGM informed them that: Tax concession can be availed under 80d of IT Rule for CGHS contribution ….Gratuity payment after retirement is not taxable and the clarification is for the payment to legal heirs only”. 
Our comrades requested him to issue necessary corrigendum, AGM agreed to consider.          (CHQ)
