Pension revision case in Hon. Delhi High Court:
Matter was passed over twice today and finally taken at 3 PM. UOI wanted to argue more. The bench was informed by us that they had finished arguing, and they could rejoin those additional arguments. But the bench was inclined to listen to arguments of the UOI, and the matter has been placed for hearing on tomorrow.

Respected Director (Finance) BSNL,
As desired by your good self, sir, herewith is uploaded Judgment of Kerala High Court in WP(C) 16360/ 2023 filed by this Association (SNPWA) challenging the order no of BSNL Co 1001-04 /2011-12 /TAXATION/BSNL/ LE/ 196 Dated 04.05.2012 (Ext. P 11) for levying Income Tax on Leave Earned by BSNL Absorbees in BSNL, adjudicating that BSNL Absorbees are Central Govt. Pensioners in every respect in accordance to the Sub Rule 4 of Rule 37(A), read in conjunction with Sub Rule 8 of Rule 37(A), thereby further strengtheing our Argument for Pension Revision in Delhi High Court.
Secretary (Telecom.), U.O.I, CMD / BSNL and Chief Principal Commissioner Income Tax were respondents in the case, placing their Arguments before Kerala High Court. Since the said Exhibit of BSNL Co has been specifically set aside, it is requested to withdraw the said order. It is relevant to mention that, in many cases, income tax, based on this judgment, has already refunded income come Tax levied on Leave Earned in BSNL.
Your good office was extremely positive in assuring that a positive decision would be immediately taken by BSNL Co for withdrawal of the said order of BSNL.
Enclosed also is letter to CMD/ BSNL on the issue.
Warm Regards,
(G.L.Jogi)
