Yesterday, BSNLEU leaders met Shri A. Robert J. Ravi, CMD BSNL and conveyed heartfelt thanks to the CMD for taking utmost seriousness in resolving the IDA arrear issue. During the meeting, Com. Animesh Mitra, General Secretary and Com. P. Abhimanyu, Vice President, also requested that the salary for May 2026 be paid along with the IDA arrears w.e.f. 01.01.2026. The CMD BSNL assured that necessary action would be taken on the matter. Subsequently, in the evening, the Corporate Office issued the office order endorsing the DoT guidelines regarding payment of the IDA increase.

The DoT has finally issued the order for payment of IDA w.e.f. 01.01.2026. Today morning, Com. Animesh Mitra, General Secretary and Com. P. Abhimanyu, Vice President (CHQ), met Shri S.P. Singh, PGM(Estt.), for discussion on some burning issues. During the discussion, Shri S.P. Singh informed that the file has been cleared and the IDA arrear can now be paid along with this month’s salary. This is a major victory for the united and sustained struggle of the Executives and Non-Executives against the anti-worker stand of the government. Due to continuous pressure and agitational programmes conducted by the All Unions and Associations (AUAB), the DPE was compelled to remove the para 5, for the IDA payment w.e.f. 01.04.2026.

On 19th evening, the AUAB leadership met Shri J. Robert Ravi, CMD BSNL, and discussed several burning issues concerning employees and the Organisation. During the meeting, the leadership strongly demanded payment of IDA w.e.f. 01.01.2026. CMD BSNL informed that the matter is being actively pursued with DoT to ensure payment of the IDA arrears along with this month’s salary. The AUAB leadership also raised the serious issue of manhandling of a JTO in Gujarat Circle and demanded stringent action against the TIP involved. Other important issues discussed included release of pending Kashmir Valley allowance, settlement of Tamil Nadu and Chennai issues and the need for a formal meeting by CMD BSNL with Unions and Associations to update them on the Management’s action plan for the growth and development of BSNL and resolution of HR issues. CMD BSNL listened to the concerns raised by the leadership and assured that necessary action would be taken on all the issues discussed.

BSNL and MTNL pensioners, under the banner of the joint platform (CBMPA), organised a massive dharna on 20.05.2026 at Eastern Court, New Delhi, protesting against the government’s move to freeze IDA arrears from 01.01.2026. AUAB extended full solidarity and support to the struggle for IDA arrears and pension revision. Com. Animesh Mitra, Convenor, AUAB and Com. Chandeshwar Singh, Chairman, AUAB, attended the dharna with the members of AUAB and addressed the gathering. The pensioners also joined the “Protest Chain” organised by AUAB members at the same premises. AUAB units across various circles also participated in local dharna programmes in support of the pensioners’ struggle.

The circular related to the decisions and future course of action of the online Central Secretariat meeting held on 17.05.2026 has already been issued by CHQ. All CEC members are requested to take appropriate action for effective implementation of the decisions at circle and district levels. The circular has been shared with CEC members through WhatsApp and hard copies have been sent to the District Secretaries by post.

CHQ received many representations from circles requesting extension of the time limit for processing of e-APARs for “Executive & Non-Executive” employees of BSNL through the ESS Portal for FY 2025-26. Accordingly, Corporate Office has issued a notification on 18.05.2026 extending the last date for processing of e-APARs up to 30.05.2026. Corporate Office letter is attached herewith.

All Unions and Associations of BSNL (AUAB) is seriously pursuing with the BSNL Management and DoT to ensure payment of IDA arrears along with this month’s salary. As part of the ongoing agitational programme conducted across the country during the last three months, the Protest Chain programme was organised successfully today in BSNL offices and exchanges throughout the country. Simultaneously, AUAB also mobilised regular employees to participate in the dharna programme organised by pensioners demanding settlement of the same issue.

An emergent meeting of All Unions and Associations of BSNL (AUAB) was held on 19.05.2026 at the BSNLEU Office, Eastern Court, New Delhi, attended by General Secretaries and representatives of participating unions and associations. The meeting reviewed the delay in payment of enhanced IDA w.e.f. 01.01.2026. Though DPE has issued orders but formal approval from DoT is still pending. AUAB decided to continue preparations for the Human Chain protest on 20.05.2026 and pursue the matter with CMD BSNL and Director (HR) for payment of salary along with IDA arrears. Later, AUAB leaders also met Director (HR) and CMD BSNL on the issue. The proposed Sanchar Bhawan March on 12.06.2026 has been rescheduled. AUAB decided to organise a massive mobilisation programme during the Monsoon Session of Parliament for implementation of the 3rd PRC. AUAB will discuss the matter with the pensioners’ associations to make the mobilisation a grand success. The meeting also strongly condemned the alleged manhandling of Shri Vivek Jayant, JTO, Rajpipla, Gujarat Circle, by a TIP and the vandalisation of office premises, and demanded strict action from BSNL Management. The meeting further decided to take up certain pending HR-related issues with CMD BSNL.

AUAB meeting held today in Delhi and reviews the latest development on payment of IDA Arrears. Members participated in the meeting have expressed the anxiety of the members regarding payment of IDA arrears throughout the country. The General Secretaries/ Representatives met at the BSNLEU union office at Eastern court office on 19th May, 2026 and reviewed the latest developments on the issue. During the discussion, it has reported that the Management of BSNL had already forwarded the proposal relating to IDA arrears to DoT on 08th May, 2026. However, the DoT is reportedly awaiting similar information from other Telecom PSUs before taking a final decision. At the same time, the Management has not yet confirmed its assurance regarding payment of salary of this month along with IDA arrears. As a result, resentment among the employees at the grassroots level continues, and preparations are going on actively for ensuring massive participation in the protest chain programme to be held at all BSNL offices on 20.05.2026.
