• The matter was examined in consultation with Maharashtra Circle, which had issued a Memo dated 21/08/2024 to extend the benefit of antedating BCR to 15 retired SBCO officials (UDC cadre) at par with their juniors, based on Postal Directorate's letter No. Q-25/31/2022-PE-I-DOP dated 01.07.2022.
• The Pensioner's Association's request for similar benefits for retired officials from LDC cadre was reviewed. It was concluded that these ex-officials do not fall under the purview of the Directorate's instructions dated 01.07.2022, making them ineligible for the same benefits.
