CHQ -ON 1.ROUMER ABOUT CGHS,2. LIFE CERTIFICATE

28/10

RUMOURS IN PLENTY

The 7th Pay commission is given an extension of 4 months, up to December 2015, to submit its report to the government. But, much before the said date, rumours are floated by many corners about the probable recommendations.One is about Health Insurance for Central government employees and Pensioners. It is the death knell for CGHS. A news item appeared in the internet is reproduced hereunder.
Please mind: It is only a rumour, not a confirmed information. Future of CGHS will definitely affect the BSNL pensioners as well.
"......... Health insurance would be available for central government employees and pensioners till death, the insured employees and pensioners will have to pay 50% of the premium from their salaries and pensions and the remaining 50% premium may be paid by the central government.
The CGHS is financed mainly through the Centre’s tax revenues. Though beneficiaries do contribute a share of their wages towards premium, ranging from Rs 600 to Rs 6,000 a year depending on their pay scale, this accounts for just about 5 per cent of the total expenditure. The government shells out the remaining 95 per cent. Now the Government is looking for ways to end the CGHS in its current form and to move to an insurance based health scheme to cut costs...."

GET READY TO FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT

DEMONSTRATION on 5-11-2015 at 1100 Hrs under the   President ship of our Dist. President Sri. M.Raveendran.

Before Office of GM BSNL MADURAI.  COME! JOIN!! PROTEST!!!

Why this demonstration:
78.2% case is unnecessarily delayed.There is no reason to delay this case.The benefit was given to serving staff 28 months ago.
The Cabinet Note was prepared long back.It was sent to the four nodal ministries for their concurrence.Three ministries have approved it.Only the Ministry of Finance wanted some data.Data was already prepared by Internal Finance Wing of DoT. It was sent to Establishment section.Now, they have sent it back to Finance!!. Even after these exercises undergoing for months and months, DoT could not supply the data to Finance Ministry.
Why this delay?
During the discussion we had with him, in first week of August2015,the Chairman of Telecom Commission gave an impression, that the Cabinet Note would be sent to the Cabinet soon.But, it is not yet done.
Unwanted,
Undue,
Unnecessary delay on the part of Department of Telecom.
CHQ has ordered to

 ORGANISE PROTEST DEMONSTRATIONS AT SSA HEAD QUARTERS ON  5-11-2015.
 SEND A MEMORANDUM TO THE HONOURABLE PRIME MINISTER INVITING HIS ATTENTION TO THE ISSUE.

OCTOBER 1 HAPPENS TO BE THE FORMATION DAY OF BSNL.

NOT ONLY THE DAY FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE.


BUT, ELDERLY PERSONS WHO GAVE THEIR BLOOD AND SWEAT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TELECOM INFRASTRUCTURE IN INDIA, WHICH GAVE ALL THE FORTUNES TO BSNL, ITS MANAGEMENT AND THE STAFF ARE THE MOST NEGLECTED LOT.

BENEFIT OF 78.2% IDA IS NOT YET GIVEN TO THEM. 

MEDICAL BILLS SUBMITTED BY BSNL PENSIONERS ARE DELAYED OR REJECTED ON FLIMSY GROUNDS,
THEIR ANOMALY CASES ARE NOT SETTLED EVEN AFTER 14 YEARS.
ANY REPRESENTATION FROM PENSIONERS ARE THROWN TO THE WASTEPAPER BASKETS.
THIS IS HOW BSNL IS TREATING THE ELDERLY PERSONS.
01/10
IN 1991 THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANISATION (UNO) IDENTIFIED OCTOBER 1
AS THE DAY FOR OLDER PERSONS. EVERY YEAR IT IS OBSERVED WITH A NEW THEME.
The 2015 celebration of the 25th anniversary of International Day of Older Persons (IDOP), in anticipation of the third United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) to be held in 2016, will focus not only on the impact of the new urban environment on older persons, but also the impact of older persons on the new urban environment.
