In BSNL( all the absorbed employees are co'ered by ,o't pension scheme underule 4;A. e are happy to :now that the !anagement /ommittee considered the proposal of%+ and found it inade)uate to resol'e the issue. At least the !/ understood themerit and gra'ity of the matter. &owe'er the matter is to be resol'ed at theearliest by mutual consultations with all the sta:e holders.

/onsidering the abo'e facts it would be most appropriate and *ust for BSNL!anagement to seriously consider the following suggestions submitted by the Assnin its letter dated #?.#2.%#"4 on the implementation of the scheme.
