Dear Comrades,
As per the circular issued by the CCA office Vijayawada on issue of ID Cards to BSNL pensioners a camp was organised in CCA office Vijayawada today from 10-30 hrs.
From CCA office Sri Vinod Kumar CCA, Ms Sandhya Sameera Jt CCA and Sri Bikshamaiah AO Pension explained about the purpose of the camp.
From our AIBSNL PWA Com K S Koteswara Rao Circle President, from SNPWA Com Chandra Shekhar C S and from AIBDPA Com K S C Bose attended and brought various doubts on the camp to the notice of the CCA and got clarified.
Some of the main points clarified.
1. Issue of I D Card is a part of their duty.
2. There is no compulsion in receiving the Card.
3. There is no time limit for submission of application. At any time the pensioner can approach the CCA office.
4. The application along with the requirements can be sent by others also.
5. Printing cost of the Card is fixed as Rs 50/-
6. Card will be sent to pensioners' residential address by speed post.
7. Sampann pensioners can download their ID Card directly from the site.
8. The retirees from STR and STP have to approach CCA office Chennai.
Similar camps will be conducted for other areas at Tirupathi and Visakhapatnam also.
We also felt that ID Card issued by CCA office (Department of Telecom)with recent photo and address in place of old BSNL Card is better one.
I personally suggest to have the new ID Card.
