DoT asks MTNL, BSNL to recall staff working in its offices without sanction

11 Sep 2019 Evaluate

Department of Telecom (DoT) has made it clear to Mahanagar Telephone Nigam (MTNL) and Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) managements that it will no longer accept any claims raised by them for their staff working in DoT offices on an 'informal' or 'loan' basis, without proper sanction or approval.

Saddled with past claims and HR-related bills from the two cash-strapped firms, DoT has now shot-off letters to the two ailing corporations asking them to withdraw such employees.

MTNL was set up by the Government of India to upgrade the quality of telecom services, expand the telecom network, and introduce new services and to raise revenue for telecom development needs of India's key metros -- Delhi and Mumbai.
