Team AIGETOA met officials at DoT to seek the exact status of the file regarding the implementation of the IDA increase in BSNL. We expressed our concern on the delay.
It was informed to us that the delay occurred due to the non-receipt of required data related to BBNL, as consolidated instructions are to be issued for all PSUs under the Ministry of Communications. The necessary data is now being compiled and is being submitted for approval by the competent authority. The instructions/Orders for implementation of IDA increase are expected to be issued by Monday evening or Tuesday for all PSUs under the Ministry of Communications viz. BSNL, MTNL, TCIL, ITI etc.
Time and again AIGETOA and BTEU under the banner BDM has emphasized that focus of the Association should not deviate from the Core issues like 3rd PRC, Residual Benefits of 2nd PRC, Career Progression aspects and Superannuation benefits. Issues like implementation of DA increase are procedural in nature and they should be treated in that manner only.
Team AIGETOA is continuously following up status and shall keep one and all updated changes if any.
We further wish to inform that there is a big development on creation of Internal Management Hierarchy in BSNL, a demand being pressed vociferously by AIGETOA before Hon’ble MoC and the same was considered and assured positively by the Hon’ble Minister. The instructions to examine and take necessary action on our demand of creation of Internal Management Hierarchy for BSNL was issued from the Office of Hon’ble MoC on dated 13.01.2026, subsequent to the meeting of Team AIGETOA with Hon’ble MoC and submission of our proposal before Hon’ble MoC.

Now, instructions in this regard has been issued to BSNL.
However, we have still miles to go because management will take every effort to justify the legacy setup and deny the opportunity to the current work force and will continue to justify SETs/MTs etc. in support of their view. For this extreme pursuance and extreme level of Alertness is required.
Other associations have been mocking our letters and submissions by saying nothing will happen. But this step justifies the actions taken under the umbrella of BMS, Platform of Bharatiya Doorsanchar Manch and AIGETOA/BTEU.
