Within days of the state-run telecom operator BSNL opening its voluntary retirement scheme (VRS), 18,400 employees have opted for it. The loss-making PSU had rolled out the scheme for its employees, following the Union Cabinet nod to a nearly ₹70,000-crore revival package for BSNL and MTNL last month. This included ₹30,000 crore for VRS for the two firms.
For BSNL employees, the VRS option will remain open till December 4. The scheme was opened on November 3. “Till 7 p.m., over 18,400 BSNL employees, of the over 1 lakh eligible staff, have opted for VRS,” a source told The Hindu. BSNL has a staff strength of about 1.5 lakh people.
The company expects 70,000-80,000 people to opt for the scheme.
