11.03.2010 : BSNL board approves Pitroda panel report on 30% stake sale :

EXTRACT OF THE NEWS PAPER-ECONOMIC TIMES :-"

"(11 Mar 2010, 0519 hrs IST, Joji Thomas Philip & Rashmi Pratap, ET Bureau)                            NEW DELHI/MUMBAI: The board of state-owned telco BSNL on Wednesday gave an in-principle approval to the Sam Pitroda committee report that called for a 30% stake sale in the PSU, but said that the government should take the final call on the quantum of stake to be divested. The board has now put the ball in the government’s court asking it to decide on implementing the 15-point formula recommended by the panel to revive the public sector company.

“...we have asked the government to decide on the stake that has to be divested,” BSNL chairman and managing director Kuldeep Goyal told ET after the board meet.

This marks the third instance of the BSNL board clearing the stake sale. Since 2007, BSNL has twice approved the proposal to divest 10% stake in the company but the telco has been unable to go ahead with the same due to stiff opposition from its employee unions.

Earlier this month, the Sam Pitroda panel had recommended a strategic stake sale and staff cut by a third to revive the flagging fortunes of state-owned BSNL. The government should sell a 30% stake in the company through an IPO and also raise funds from the sale of its infrastructure, such as signal towers and real estate, Pitroda had said. Earlier this year, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, worried about the steep decline in BSNL’s profitability over the years, called in Pitroda to head a committee with banker Deepak Parekh and telecom secretary PJ Thomas as members and suggest measures for revival.

While the Pitroda committee had recommended that the telco use the funds from the share sale to retire about a third of its 3 lakh employees, through best possible processes like voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) and induct young talent in technology and customer services, the board has again asked the communications ministry to decide on the number of employees who should be retired through this option.

‘The board has accepted that select cadres in certain divisions can be given VRS, but there has been no decision on the numbers. These will be finalised after consultations,” Mr Goyal added."

03.03.2010 : GS, President, AGS(F) met Secy(T) and discussed :

Sam G. Pitroda Committee Recommendations : We requested Secy(T) to apprise the recommendations of Shri Sam G. Pitroda Committee. Secy(T) confirmed that Committee has submitted it's Recommendations on BSNL's performance review i.e. Committee suggested restructuring of BSNL Board/Management by selecting professionals from market, proposed 30% disinvestment of BSNL, VRS to one Lac Employees and suggested to scrap 93 Million GSM lines Tender and to procure advance technology GSM equipment  through Managed Service Model (On sharing basis) etc.

On all these recommendations we reacted that first of all Govt. should  have the ownership of BSNL and should give autonomy and flexibility in decision making to BSNL Management, Scrapping of 93 Million GSM line tender will block the BSNL's growth because even for deciding the modalities, tender term and conditions and procedures for Managed Service Model further time will require at least one year. Secy(T) mentioned that Govt. wants to support BSNL by withdrawing License fee / USO Charges etc. but similar benefit is being demanded by Pvt. Operators hence Ministry of Finance is not accepting BSNL/DoT's pleading. We expressed our serious concern against withdrawal of ADC charges based on TRAI recommendations which has also affected the viability of BSNL. In this connection Secy(T) reacted that against ADC withdrawal You people could have protested through Administrative /Legal course of action .We also pleaded that ITS officers absorption is also the important issue which could have been addressed by the Committee. Secy(T) mentioned that the ITS officers absorption process is still open as per DoT 2008 order whosoever is willing can exercise the option but they are not interested to exercise option. The prospective date of absorption has already been denied by Cabinet hence absorption cut off date is 01.10.2000 only for all. He mentioned that BSNL should demand repatriation of ITS officers to DoT and should have it's own contingency plan to run the Organisation thereafter DoT can take the action .We requested Secy(T) to grant a meeting to the Unions/Associations to discuss the Sam G. Pitroda Committee Recommendations thereafter only it's implementation should start. Secy(T) mentioned that the BSNL Management may discuss all these issues with the Unions/Associations, hen we insisted for the meeting with him he agreed to look into. The meeting ended after one and half hour.

03.03.2010 : GS, President, AGS (F) met Member (T) Telecom Commission and discussed :

(a) BSNL's performance : Member (T) mentioned that BSNL's performance w.r.t. Private Operators is not satisfactory. Even the Circles like Bihar and UP (East) are showing growth of 8 lakh and 12 lakh mobile connections respectively but the gross revenue earned in these Circles reduced to 45 crores and 20 crores respectively. Hence it seems that some manipulation is being done. Click here for No. of Connections & Gross Revenue Figures for Mobile Operators

(b) IDA pension revision case : Member (T) appreciated our concern and pleading that since BSNL employees were assured Govt. pension under Rule - 37A and the pension contribution is already paid to DOT. Now DOT should take decision to revise the IDA pension without referring to MoF. He assured to look into the matter.
