BSNLEU’s case against IDA freezing – General Secretary discusses with the advocate.

The DPE has already issued clarification that, IDA freezing is not applicable to the Non-Executives. At the same time, the DPE has so far not issued letter for the payment of 5.5% IDA w.e.f. 01.10.2020 and 6.1% IDA w.e.f. 01.01.2021. Today, Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, spoke to Shri V.V. Suresh, advocate, arguing BSNLEU’s case against IDA freezing in the Hon’ble Kerala High Court. The General Secretary requested the advocate to ensure that, a specific direction is given to the DPE, by the Hon’ble Kerala High Court, that order should be issued for the payment of two instalments of IDA. The advocate stated that, he has already brought this to the notice of the Hon’ble Court. Further, he stated that our case is likely to come up for hearing next week.
