4. #BlackDay 5 Oct 2025 – Justice for PB Employees
💔 No Family Pension for Prasar Bharti Employees
Late Jyoti Prakash Trivedi (DD News) died fighting cancer, denied Medical treatment and family pension due to the 5 October 2007 cutoff date.
Late Ankur Saxena (HPT Bundi) and Late Rahul Deshmukh (DDK Bhopal) also passed away; their families left destitute without terminal benefits.
Instead of compassion, MIB and PB dragged widows through court battles, denying the very social security promised by our Constitution.

3. #BlackDay 5 Oct 2025 – Justice for PB Employees
Before the Prasar Bharati Amendment Act, 2011, all employees—whether recruited directly by Prasar Bharati/SSC or on deemed deputation—enjoyed equal benefits. Our salaries were paid securely from the Consolidated Fund of India (CFI) as a Grant-in-Aid through the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB).
We had:
CGHS medical coverage for quality healthcare
CGEGIS group insurance for financial security
GPRA housing under Central Pool accommodation
Pension, gratuity, and all standard service benefits
Common sense demands that with time, employee benefits, salaries, and social security should strengthen — not vanish.
Yet, in a shocking reversal, everything we once took for granted was systematically revoked for employees recruited after 5 October 2007, in the name of “autonomous body” status.
Post-2007 recruits lost CGHS & CGEGIS gradually after the 2012 Amendment, fully withdrawn by 2020.
Pension rights and family pensions denied to deceased employees’ families.
GPRA housing benefits removed, forcing employees to pay exorbitant market rents in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and other metros.
Promotions blocked, leaving new recruits stagnating at Grade Pay ₹4200/₹2400 for nearly two decades.

Similarly one of our colleague from @DDNewslive
Shri Manish Kumar Gupta, EA @DDNewsHindi, is on lifesaving dialysis after kidney failure & multiple organ complications.
With an exhausted OPD limit of ₹37,500, he now bears ₹4.5k–6k per session from his own pocket — 3 times/week.
This is a clear case for IPD treatment under OM dated 15.07.2014 by @MoHFW_INDIA
We request @prasarbharati to treat this as IPD under special case norms (OM 15.07.2014) & allow full reimbursement. Dialysis isn't optional—it's survival.
We, the employees of @prasarbharati, are consistently denied proper medical facilities.
Those recruited after 2007 have no CGHS access, face rejection at hospitals, and suffer huge financial losses.
We request @GauravDwivedi95@navneetsehgal3@pragyapgaur sir/madam to take this up seriously
Prasar Bharati Board Neglects Employee Interests!
Despite the provision that two representatives of Prasar Bharati employees should be part of the Prasar Bharati Board, the board meetings fail to take any concrete decisions in favor of employees. This clearly reflects the discrimination faced by the employees.
📢 We demand:
1. Meaningful and active representation of employees on the Board.
2. Employee-related issues to be addressed as a top priority.
3. Transparent and fair decision-making in the interest of the workforce.
Prasar Bharati employees are the backbone of the organization — they cannot be ignored.
Urgent intervention needed!
@PMOIndia@narendramodi@HMOIndia@sjaju1@MIB_India@GauravDwivedi95@AkashvaniAIR@mygovindia@pragyapgaur@navneetsehgal3@AshwiniVaishnaw
📢 PB employees demand:

We are the backbone of the organization @GauravDwivedi95

In light of the current emergency due to war-like conditions, we request the management to ensure insurance & death compensation for all PB employees deployed in border areas.
We urge that PB employees posted at border areas be given similar insurance and compensation benefits as CG staff.
