On the long pending issues of the executive fraternity, CMD was very receptive and replied with empathy on the following issues, 1. On financial issues: On this matter he was quite receptive and totally aware of the issues in detail, but the issues may only be resolved after the improvement of the financial condition of the organisation, and in CMD sir’s view which is likely to be achieved in near future. 2. EPF higher pension: CMD sir clearly told, they are taking all out efforts with EPFO to resolve this issue once and all. He’s totally committed on it and the mgmt. is continuously in touch with the concerned EPFO authorities. He has informed that, he is well acquainted with the issue as previously also he has taken up the EPF issue to the BSNL board to resolve various anomalies and brought uniformity in BSNL’s EPF policy. 3. DRF scheme: We expressed our agony over the cases of untimely death of many executives and the pension amount being paid to their devastated families. CMD sir informed that such kind of mechanism is in the thought process of the mgmt. 4. Rule-8 issue: We informed CMD sir, some executives even after getting the approval of Rule-8 transfer, are unable to join their native circles as the circle is surplus in nature. We’ve appealed that, after working in the present circle even after 10-15 years, their cases may be considered separately with empathy. CMD sir was quite receptive and opens to any suggestion from the association. The meeting was ended in a positive note and we believe that constant persuasions yields results in near future. Long live AIGETOA!
