The Union Cabinet on Thursday cleared
the long-standing issue of pension of around 43,000
MTNL employees that would cost the
exchequer around Rs. 500 crore per year.
“The Union Cabinet today [Thursday]
approved that the erstwhile all categories of employees
of the government absorbed in MTNL…
may be given similar treatment in the matter of
payment of pensionary benefits as
available to the absorbed employees of BSNL,” an official
statement said.
“Based on the approval… to the
erstwhile government employees absorbed in MTNL who
have opted for combined pension in
the same manner as in BSNL, necessary amendments…
will be issued and adjustments in
respect of government pension liability previously
discharged by MTNL will be done within three
months,” the note said.
