Performance of BSNL not all that Bad: Belying all the forecast of astronomical figures of loss, BSNL has posted a net loss of Rs.1822 crores, during the last financial year ending 31.3.2010, according to the final audit figures. But for the payment of Rs 2900 crores arrears of pay revision paid during the year, it would have been a net profit of around Rs.700 crores. The net profit during the previous year 2008-09 was Rs.575 crores. Although there is lot to improve, the figures confirm that the performance was not as bad as was being painted by some sooth-sayers trying to create panic. Many of our so called Unions and associations have boasted that BSNL will go into a total red this fiscal year. The performace has belied all our expectations. Let us ensure that we earn more profits this year.
