AIBSNLPWA has urged DoPT to review its clarification denying the benefit of notional increment for calculation of family pension. The Association has pointed out that family pension is linked to the Last Pay Drawn (LPD), and therefore any increase in LPD due to notional increment should also be reflected in family pension. A suitable clarification has been sought to avoid anomalies, hardship to family pensioners, and unnecessary litigation.

In response to AIBSNLPWA’s grievance, BSNL has clarified that the notional increment issue for VRS-2019 retirees falls under the Department of Telecommunications, is currently under examination, and further action will depend on the outcome of pending Supreme Court proceedings and DoT’s policy decision.
