A Junior Telecom Officer in BSNL is seeking clarification regarding the discontinuation of Dearness Pay (DP) during the 2007 pay revision. They were appointed after the cut-off date for the revision but before its implementation, and believe DP, being part of Dearness Allowance, should have benefited them. The officer questions why BSNL management would deny this benefit and whether DP ceases to exist after a pay revision, seeking rulings and the purpose of DP's introduction.
