6. #BlackDay 5 Oct 2025 – Justice for PB Employees
Salary Diverted from CFI to IEBR: Our salaries were once drawn from the Consolidated Fund of India (CFI), ensuring stable, government-backed pay. After the 2007 cutoff, new PB recruits’ salaries were shifted to Prasar Bharati’s Internal Extra Budgetary Resources (IEBR), meaning they rely on the broadcaster’s own revenue. This move has destabilized our financial security – salaries now depend on fluctuating internal funds instead of guaranteed budget support. In fact, funding shortfalls have forced PB to dip into reserves to pay staff in the past. No employee should fear delayed or uncertain pay for serving the nation. We insist on financial stability and equal treatment in salary funding.

Restore CGHS, Insurance, Pension, Housing:
PB recruits after 2007 have been deprived of fundamental welfare benefits that their counterparts still enjoy. They have no access to CGHS for quality healthcare, no CGEGIS coverage for financial security, no assured family pension, and no eligibility for GPRA housing — benefits fully available to “deemed-deputation” employees.
This unjust disparity leaves our families vulnerable and violates the spirit of equality in public service. We demand restoration of all such benefits — equal healthcare, insurance, pension security, and housing rights — for every PB employee, ending this two-tier system within the same organization.

Recognize APBEE & Employee Representation: Despite representing the vast majority of PB’s engineering cadre, the Association of Prasar Bharati Engineering Employees (APBEE) remains unrecognized. APBEE meets the criteria under the CCS (Recognition of Service Associations) Rules, 1993 – with membership well above the required 35% – yet PB management has excluded it from official recognition processes. This denial silences our collective voice. We demand immediate recognition of APBEE (and similar associations) so employees have formal negotiating power. Additionally, PB employees seek representation on the Prasar Bharati Board itself. The Prasar Bharati Act should be amended to include two staff representatives on the Board. Having employee voices at the decision-making table is essential for transparency, accountability, and justice within the organization.
