DHARNA AGITATION DEFERRED

Dear Comrades ,

We congratulate all pensioners who participated in large numbers in the demonstration held on 16.04.2026, which has compelled the DPE to issue the order dated 24.04.2026 without the restrictive Para 5 of the earlier order dated 27.02.2026 .

This is a clear victory of pensioners’ unity.

In view of this development, the CBMPA (12 Associations) has unanimously decided to defer the dharna programme scheduled on 30.04.2026.

If DoT fails to issue implementation orders for IDA due from 01.01.2026 and 01.04.2026 immediately, agitation will be resumed without further notice.

Let us preserve and further strengthen this unity with renewed resolve to achieve our common goals .

IDA orders For January 2026 and April 2026 Issued 

Success for our combined force.

Para 5 removed.

We note with satisfaction that Para 5 of the IDA order dated 27.02.2026, which had imposed certain conditions and acted as a hurdle in implementation, has been withdrawn in the recent order dated 24.04.2026.

Dear Members,

We wish to inform you that we have today on 23-4-2026 enquired about th inordinate delay in issuing  IDA order due from 01.01.2026 for BSNL pensioners.

Director (PSU) DOT  has conveyed that the file has already been submitted to the Secretary (Telecom) for approval. The matter is presently under consideration.

However, we must also remain prepared. In case the orders are not issued even by 30-04-2026, our scheduled dharna should be made a grand success. All units (CBMPA ) and members are requested to stay alert and complete necessary preparations accordingly.

Dear Members, 
 
A significant and encouraging development has taken place today in our Pension Revision case  before the Delhi High Court. 
 
The Hon’ble Bench expressed strong displeasure over repeated adjournment requests by the Union of India. Our counsel pointed out that similar grounds were taken earlier and opposed the adjournment. 
 
The Bench reprimanded the Junior Counsel of UOI and observed that such reasons are not acceptable. It has now clearly stated that no further adjournments will be granted. 
 
The matter is posted to 28.04.2026, with a direction that even if the Senior Counsel is unavailable, the Junior Counsel must proceed with arguments. 
 
This is an encouraging development, and the case is expected to proceed on the next date.
