Reply to PQ-I<<<>> Reply to PQ-II<<<>>
The first para of PQ reply conveys status of third PRC implementation in BSNL and applicability of affordability clause and this is common reply to all PQs asked on this subject and replied till today.
But in case of both these PQs, in the second and last para of reply, the firm assurance is given by Honourable MoSC that the recommendations contained in the Wage Revision Committee report are dealt with in accordance with the extant policy framework, the applicable guidelines issued by the DPE and additional financial implications.
In its last letter on this subject, DPE has directed DoT for waiver of affordability clause with approval of Cabinet Copy<<<>>
The further course of action on part of DoT was awaited for finalization of Pay scales and assessment of total expenditure on it and the same has been finalized with signing of wage Negotiation agreement, its approval of BSNL Board and sent by BSNL to DoT with recommendations in Feb 2026 and it is under consideration in DoT.
SNEA conveys sincere thanks and gratitude to Respected Shri Pemmasani Chandrasekhar ji, Honourable Minister of State Communications for positive response and both the Honourable Members of Parliament viz. Shri. Kuldeep Indora ji & Dr. Jhon Britts ji, for raising concern about genuine issue of BSNL Executives and Employees.
This is positive development on this issue after year 2019 and now it is our turn to pursue this issue with focused approach with required feedback and justification and we will continue it. Let us hope for the best.
