: 

Next they met Pr CCA Kolkata and discussed the status of pending 78.2% Cases. They informed that from the list published in website it appears that priority is not maintained. Pr CCA asked to submit such cases with details. She  informed that whenever any error is noticed in fixation, the same is informed to the Area and the service book is returned to them. She also informed that the list of completed cases in March 2017 will be uploaded by 15th April 2017 and expect to complete the pending received cases by June 2017. Calcutta Telephones is yet to send many service books.

It is therefore requested to the CTD pensioners who have not yet received the sanction memo and feels that they are being superseded to submit the following information for taking up with Pr CCA.
a. Name, Date of retirement, Area,
b. Date of submission of his S Book to CCA by Area.
c. Name of the pensioner who has superseded him.
d. Date of submission of his S Book and date when CCA issued the memo.

Once the information are received we shall compile them and take up with Pr CCA again.

Next they had a meeting with PGM CTD and discussed
 1 ) Empanelment of Hospitals on Cash Basis Treatment at CGHS rate as per BSNL CO order.
 2)  Inclusion of 17 more hospitals in the approved list of 233 Hospitals.
 3)  Issuing guidelines to the areas for following uniformity of rules on various points.

PGM agreed on all the points and instructed to process the issues. 

18.10.2016: 

On his return the meeting took place at 3 PM. From our Side Coms D Biswas, S Sarkar, P M Chattaopadhayay, M Roy, S Mukherjee, A Gupta, T Mukherjee, P.Ghosh, P K Samanta, S Chatterjee, and from Management side, CGM, GM (HR), Sr GM(F), DGM(F), AGM(HR), AO(Cash) etc participated. At the outset CGM expressed his sorrow again for this developments which led us to stage this SIT IN STARVATION and said that he never knew that such frustration has developed in the mind of the pensioners, He requested the officers on management side to behave polite and gentle to the elders and to the ladies even if they speak irrelevant. He further said quoting in Sanskrit that whatever is due to anybody has to be paid in due time otherwise it loose its importance. He also mentioned that such inefficiency he has inherited due to legacy but he shall try to improve the situation.

In reply we pointed out that we are also not happy to stage such demonstration at this old age and sitting in the floor for so many hours in starvation, but the situation has compelled us to do so. The situation could have been avoided if management held the discussion one day early. We pointed out the stereo typed letter send to us by email yesterday signed by DGM(F). In the said letter it was claimed that " West Bengal Telecom Circle is well aware of its responsibility on both reimbursement of medical bill as well as work related to 78.2% IDA merger". <<<Click for letter>>> But the fact is that after issue of the 78.2% IDA order by BSNL, 3 months have elapsed but circle office could not send even 3 service books to CCA office. Also on medical issue bills are pending for nine months and now it is mentioned in the same letter that 60 more days are required. Under this situation how the management can put a tall claim that it is well aware of its responsibility. We mentioned that as per corporate office guidelines medical bills are to be paid within 30 days of claim but here it is being officially said that the period will be of one year.
On 78.2% issue we pointed out that unless the fixation is done by 31st October and the service books are send to the CCA office, we cannot get the payment by 31st December as notified by DOT since further works are involved in CCA office and in respective banks.. Further the practice introduced by WBTC to fill up a form mentioning personal details of the pensioners should immediately be stopped. Because it will never be possible to contact all pensioners particularly family pensioners and gr D pensioners who are now away to their native places in Bihar and UP and therefore their particulars cant be obtained from them and as a result their pension will remain unrevised. We demanded suitable time bound action so that we get the payment as scheduled.

In reply Sr GM(F) has fully appreciated our points and appealed us to give some time to rectify the work procedure of circle. She also while recalling her old experience with many of us expressed her sorrow for the harassments caused to us and assured that she will take care so that similar situation do not repeat again. Ultimately the following decisions are taken as per our suggestion and demand.

1) Hence forth the format of the claim form for medical bill will have two more items:

• The HR No or Vendor Code : For those pensioners who had HR NO at the time of retirement shall mention the same and those who did not have will leave the item blank for the first bill. Circle Office will issue a Vendor Code from the pool and fill it up in the blank and simultaneously intimate the pensioner on his mobile. From next bill onwards the pensioner will have to mention the same in the claim form.
• There won't be any TDS for the medical bills for pensioners hence fourth. For this at the end of the form a declaration will be there stating that the TDS may not be done and the required I Tax will be paid by the pensioner.
  The revised claim form will be issued by the circle shortly. We shall upload the same in our website in due course.

2) The present practice of filling up the format by the pensioners will be stopped by all SSAs. Necessary fixation work for 50% of Pre 2007 cases and 50% of post 2007 cases are to be completed by all SSAs by 31st October and sent to the CCA. Remaining 50% work to be completed by 15th Nov 2016 by all SSAs.

3) Sr GM (F) Mentioned that as per her knowledge no medical bills are pending before April 2016. If any such cases are there the Association may submit those directly to her. However all Pending bills from April to Sept 2016 will be paid by 15th Nov 2016 positively. We request all pensioners to submit the details of the pending bills submitted before April 2016 by SMS to 9433000088 mentioning Name, Designation, HR no, Office, Date, Amount etc immediately for further submission to Sr GM(F).

4) One Form for ERP to be submitted by all pensioners who did not have HR NO. The Form will be issued by AGM (HR) soon. We shall upload the same when received.

The meeting ended with a happy note and with CGM's comment that "we will meet again on 1st December to review the situation".

Necessary executive order mentioning the above points will be issued tommorow(19/10). We shall upload them as and when received.

Thus today's SIT IN STARVATION program is a great success. It will extend required benefit to all the pensioners. About 80 members of AIRBSNLEWA took part in the program. We salute them. As committed by AIRBSNLEWA to protect the pensioners right of pension and medical, this is another victory for all pensioners executive or non executive. <<<<click to view glimpses>>>>

GM agreed to cosider for incorporating the same.
3. Issuing clarifications to the areas for implementation of BSNL MRS rules. GM request us to mention specific cases for issuing the clarification. We agreed to supply the same at an early date.
4. Paying the medical claims of the pensioners within one month time as per BSNL CO order.: We mentioned that although the overall situation is better now still in some areas the delay is prevailing. After discussion GM agreed to issue necessary instructions.
The meeting was held in a congenial atmosphere. At the end we extended thanks and gratitude for granting us the meeting.
