Incidentally, Member ( Services), is very closely known to GS/SNPWA, and is a very fine, decent person, with a very positive outlook and perspective Following issues were discussed.
A) Notional Increment Issue:
We apprised Member (Services) in detail about the issue and conveyed to him how BSNL has issued instructions to discriminate VRS Comrades in so far as extending the benefit of Notional Increment is concerned.
Member (Services) categorically agreed that such a classification is completely unwarranted and assured that he will immediately find out officially from BSNL on what basis classification has been made. Further, assured that issue would be sorted out immediately.
B) Issue of 10 months Anamoly in respect of MTNL retirees:
After intense and unrelenting persuasion from Com Mudgil for years together, Member ( Services) informed that the issue has been resolved We wholeheartedly congratulate Com Mudgil for his perseverance and dedication.
C) Issue of 5% IDA Neutralization for MTNL Retirees after 1.1.2018:
Even though this issue has been positively referred by Establishment Section of DoT to Additional Secretary / DoT and is presently under active consideration of JS(A)/DoT, yet it is generosity of Member(Services) who assured that he will discuss the issue personally with Additional Secretary / DoT. No one at his level will go out of way to meet Additional Secretary personally. This indicates very positive and helping attitude of Member(Services).
In the meantime, Member(Services) asked us to give him a bullet size brief of the issue to facilitate his discussion with Additional Secretary / DoT.
After a long time, we are lucky to have such a M( S) with a very pragmatic and positive Outlook.
