For the Kind Attention of BSNL Absorbed Pensioners

For the Kind Attention of BSNL Absorbed Pensioners

I happen to see a letter addressed to Secretary DOT regarding Pension Revision according to CCS Pension Rules 2021 Rule 66 demanding Pension Revision of BSNL absorbed pre 2017 Retirees from 1-1-2017 as per 7th CPC fitment. I request all the concerned to have a comprehensive reading of connected rules to get better understanding. I am not discrediting the wisdom of any leader. Speaking truth to the authority is honesty and speaking truth to the near and dear also not dishonesty – it is very much honesty also.

As a pensioner my welfare is also bound by other pensioners including those retiring on or after Jan 2017. I may also be benefitted if any enhancement comes to Pre 2017 pensioners. Here the question is not my benefit, but how to get it to all the pensioners on a particular date of issue of any order w.e.f particular date and for those retiring after that effective date to the true spirit of Nakara judgement without excluding post 2017 pensioners from our class.

I have given some connected rules and one should go through as they have their links to discern things to the best one’s knowledge
