03.02.2010 : GS, President, AGS (HQ),
AGS (Fin), Advisor-I met Director (HR)
(GM Pers was also present in the
meeting) and discussed :
(a) DPC for regularisation of adhoc DEs
:
We expressed our serious resentment
against delaying regularisation of 2400
DEs adhoc. GM (Pers) explained the
status of Hon’ble Supreme Court
direction and DOT clarification. After
detailed discussions Dir (HR) directed
GM (Pers) to put up the case with all
facts and figures so that regularisation
process can be completed. Dir (HR)
assured an early decision in this
matter.
(b) DPC from DE to DGM :
We requested to complete the DPC from DE
to DGM. GM (Pers) clarified that DPC
from DE to DGM is in advanced stage but
promotion order can be issued after
getting clearance from Jaipur CAT
wherein reply is being filed on
11.02.2010. In this connection Jaipur
CAT has given the direction to promote
the applicants (some ITS officers
working as DE) simultaneously with the
DEs of BSNL. GM (Pers) informed that DOT
has taken up the matter with DOP&T for
relaxation to promote the applicants as
DGMs. He also mentioned that Jaipur CAT
is being replied that BSNL is promoting
BSNL absorbed DEs as per BSNL MS RRs and
the DEs (ITS officers) applicants are
unabsorbed and they can be promoted by
DOT on the basis of ITS Recruitment
Rules. Hence, BSNL should be allowed to
promote BSNL absorbed DEs as DGMs.
(c) DPC from SDE (T) to DE :
We expressed our serious concerned
against delay in completing DPC from SDE
(T) to DE on the pretext of stay order
from J&K High Court. The stay order is
continuing for last one year and no
sincere effort has been made by BSNL
Management to get vacated the stay
order. GM (Pers) explained that
continuous efforts are being made to get
vacated the stay order but due to one or
the other reason listing of the case for
hearing is delayed. He mentioned that
now the hearing is expected on 5th
Feb 2010 wherein stay may be vacated,
thereafter immediately the DPC will be
completed to fill up about 2000 DEs
posts.
(d) Pay Anomaly case of JTO 2005 batch :
We requested to settle pay anomaly case
of JTO 2005 batch on the same pattern of
ONGC and some PSUs wherein equivalent
level Executives pay anomaly arises on
implementation of 2nd PRC
report has been resolved by giving
notional pay fixation benefit w.e. from

02.02.2010:
GS, President, AGS (HQ), AGS(F) and the
office bearers Shri S.D.Sharma and Shri
J.B.Jain of All India Retired BSNL
Executives’ Welfare Association met with
Secretary (T) and discussed:-
(a) ITS absorption issue:
- We expressed our serious concern
against non-absorption of ITS officers
in BSNL. Secy (T) informed that Cabinet
Note on this issue is ready for
circulation to the Nodal Ministries and
very shortly it will send to the nodal
ministries and thereafter to cabinet. He
mentioned that DoT is serious to settle
the issue.
(b)
Performance Review of
BSNL and solutions for BSNL’s growth and
restoration of its Revenue Share in
Telecom Market:
- In this regard our letter copy dated
27.01.2010, addressed to Shri Sam G.
Pitroda, Advisor to Hon’ble Prime
Minister was available with Secy (T) and
he discussed all the issues of our
letter and informed that the committee
on BSNLs performance review is meeting
on 8th and 9th
February 2010. Wherein all these issues
will be discussed.We suggested to
strengthen the Material Management
Procedures of BSNL so that BSNL services
are sold efficiently. Secy (T) also
impressed upon to improve the quality of
service for the customers. Secy (T)
advised all the BSNL employees to
provide quality service and to devote
for the growth of BSNL.The following
issues were discussed
(c)
93 Million GSM Tender of BSNL:-
On the issue of 93 Million GSM Tender of
BSNL, Secy (T) informed that the High
Level committee , headed by Shri Sam
Pitroda will discuss the issue in the
meeting on 8th February 2010
and will submit its report to the
Government.
(d)
IDA pension revision:
-
On the issue of IDA pension revision
Secy (T) informed that the Department of
Pension and Welfare has not given any
guideline on this issue. We impressed
upon to settle the issue in DoT itself
since BSNL Pensioners are given
Government pension under Rule 37 A. Secy
(T) assured to look into the matter.
(e)
Staff strength of BSNL:-
As per our letter the staff strength of
BSNL is going to be reduced to 50
percent i.e. half of its current
strength by the year 2012 on account of
superannuation and it shall be further
reduced to 25% or one fourth of its
current strength by the year 2014-2015.
Secy(T) advised to recheck the above
information because as per BSNL’s staff
strength statement in the year 2012 the
staff strength will be reduced to
25%-30% only which needs correction.
(f)
Govt. support to BSNL as state run
Company:-
As per
NTP 1999 guidelines, BSNL should be
exempted from license fee on landline as
well as Mobile telephone services in
urban areas. USO fund should be provided
to BSNL in lieu of providing services in
the rural part of the country on reduced
rental. The OPEX charges should be paid
to BSNL and the 3G spectrum allocation
to BSNL should be free of cost in lieu
of withdrawal of ADC (Access Deficit
Charges). Secy(T) assured to look into
the matter.
(g)
Instructions to all Govt.
Departments/Autonomous Bodies where the
Govt. of India bears the cost of
telephone expenditure for taking the
telecom services from BSNL only to
support BSNL :-
Secy(T)
mentioned that such instructions can be
issued by Govt, when BSNL provides
quality and reliable service which is
acceptable by all Government Departments
and PSUs. He advised to improve quality
of service.
(h)
Poor After-Sales Service in Broadband
Connections/ Irresponsible Call Centers
and Poor Revenue Collection:-
These
services have been outsourced to
different vendors, who have no fear of
losing their contract and they are not
carrying out their job satisfactorily
bringing bad name to BSNL. A committed
management can take adequate care to
solve these problems due to provision of
inadequate service by these vendors/
outsourcing agents.
Huge
amounts of dues are pending for recovery
from the customers to the tune of
several thousand crores of Revenue.
BSNL has recently taken some steps for
their recovery but more needs to be done
by BSNL Management and the Government on
this account so that defaulting
customers can not evade patment while
they continue to receive Telecom
Services from one operator or the other.
Secy (T)
impressed upon to provide uninterrupted
Broadband service to the customers.
02.02.2010:
GS, President, AFS and Shri S.D.Sharma
Office Bearer of All India Retired BSNL
Executives’ Welfare Association met with
Member(F) and discussed:-
(a)
IDA Pension Revision of BSNL Pensioners
retired before 01.01.2007:-
Member(F) mentioned that presently the
case is being dealt by DDG (Estt.). We
requested Member(F) that the case has
been processed to the internal finance
of DoT earlier also by DoT pension cell
and thereafter it was sent DoP&W which
is now returned to DoT without any
guideline and we requested to settle the
issue in the administrative ministry
itself. Member (F) directed to Dir
(Accounts) DoT to put up the status of
the case immediately.
(b)
Deferred option from CDA to IDA pay
fixation case:-
We expressed our serious concern against
non settlement of deferred option pay
fixation case from CDA to IDA since the
required information on financial
implications in this regard was sent to
DoT by BSNL six month before. Member(F)
assured to look into the matter and to
provide the status to our Association
within one week’s time.
02.02.2010:
GS, AGS(F), AGS(HQ) met GM(Pers.) and
discussed:-
(a) Regularisation of DEs/AMs (TF):-
We thanked for completing the
regularisation of Adhoc STS level
Executives’ of Telecom Factories.
(b) Promotion from JTO (C) to SDE (c) of
LDCE quota:-
GM(Pers.) informed that the case has
been received from PGM (BW) to promote
LDCE quota qualified JTO(c) to SDE(c)
and being examined. He assured an early
action in this matter.
(c) ACP Withdrawal case:-
We expressed our serious concern against
delay in processing the ACP Withdrawal
Review Committee report headed by Shri
Pradeep Nagpal GM(SP). GM(Pers) informed
that the committee report from PGM(BW)
has been received on Friday and being
examined. He assured for early
presentation to BSNL Management
Committee for approval.
(d) Revision of AD (OL) pay scale as per
sixth CPC recommendations:-
GM(Pers) informed that based on 6th
CPC recommendations the case for
revision of pay scales for Junior/Senior
Hindi translators and AD(OL) was
processed to GM(Estt.), GM(SR), GM(EF)
for comments but no comments has been
received. Hence as per GM(SR) suggestion
all these officers are meeting tomorrow
morning to discuss the issue and
thereafter only final view in this
regard will be taken.
(e) DPCs from DE to DGM, SDE (T) to DE
Adhoc, regularisation of DEs Adhoc :
GM (Pers)
mentioned that DPC from DE to DGM is in
process but after replying to Jaipur CAT
on 11.02.2010, promotion order may be
issued. DPC from SDE (T) to DE Adhoc is
stalled due to stay order given by J&K
High Court. The hearing in this case is
expected this week. DPC can be conducted
after stay vacation only. Regularisation
of about 2400 adhoc DEs is also stalled
due to status quo granted by Hon'ble
Supreme Court on 269 SDEs (T) seniority
case. GM (Pers) mentioned that all DPCs
are stalled in Telecom Engineering wing
due to various court cases. Against this
we expressed our serious resentment and
anguish that this situation has been
created by DOT/BSNL Management in a
calculated manner just to harm the
Telecom Engineering Personnel with
vindictive and biased attitude. In this
situation the Telecom Engineering
personnel in BSNL are put in most
disadvantageous position which is
forcing for active Organisational
Actions Programmes. |

29.01.2010 : GS, AGS (HQ), AGS (F), FS
met Director (CM) and discussed about
the media coverage regarding WiMAX
tender.
Dir (CM) clarified the actual situation
that based upon the report of the Tender
Evaluation Committee headed by CGM
(STR), action was taken and APO was
placed upon the successful bidder after
the approval of the competent authority.
There was no recommendation from the
Chairman TEC to send the case to
Vigilance Cell. Some complaint has been
made to Vigilance Cell by some corner
which is being examined by the Vigilance
Cell. He explained that there are
certain forces / vested interests that
have been making continuous efforts to
harm the growth of BSNL by delaying the
tendering process for procurement of
equipment. Despite of all these
constraints BSNL Management succeeded in
various courts and in future also no
discrepancy in finalisation of the
tender will be found. BSNL Management is
handling all the tenders in a
transparent manner. The tender processes
are being delayed due to various court
cases. Regarding his position in the
process he mentioned that there are some
vested interests / over jealous people
who want to block his future prospects.
He assured his full commitment to the
betterment of BSNL. |

Court wherein Stay Order has been
granted against DE adhoc promotion. GM
(Pers) informed that the case came for
hearing today in J&K High Court and
further posted for hearing in the next
week. We have decided to get impleaded
in the case immediately if the Stay

BCG in HR area of BSNL. BCG has been
assigned work to decide the staff norms
but BCG without taking the feedback from
the Executive Associations is
arbitrarily deciding the norms. We
categorically told that staff norms if
any available should immediately be
circulated for comments / feedback,
thereafter only BSNL Board should
consider BCG recommendations. |

07.01.2010 : GS, AGS (F) met CMD BSNL
and discussed regarding PM’s meeting
held on 06.01.2010.
CMD mentioned that Hon’ble PM’s concern
regarding BSNL’s viability will
certainly benefit it. Regarding media
news for 10% disinvestment of BSNL and
waiving of 4000 crores license fee, 93
million GSM lines tender and ITS
absorption etc.
(a) Listing of BSNL :
CMD clarified that listing of BSNL
through IPO route was discussed and
Govt. is inclined to list BSNL. He
pleaded that listing of BSNL will value
it and presently employees will also get
the shares on cheaper rates. He also
mentioned that accountability of BSNL
Board will be more to shareholders which
will improve the company’s performance
etc.
(b) Waiving of 4000 crores license fee
charges :
CMD Clarified that to waive off 4000
crores license fee charges on urban and
rural lines proposal was discussed but
Finance Ministry didn’t agree to the
proposal.
(c) Finalisation of 93 million GSM lines
tender :
CMD informed that the issue was
discussed and concern was expressed to
expedite the matter. CMD clarified that
in phase-VI tender for procurement 93
million GSM lines 4 parts are there i.e.
part-I : 2G, part-II : 3G, part-III :
Infra and part-IV : IT. The bidders have
quoted different rates for the different
parts i.e. for part-I : 2G, rates are
7-8% less than phase-V tender, for
part-II : 3G, rates are 20% higher than
the phase-V tender which cannot be
accepted, for part-III : Infra, the
rates are 15-16% higher than the phase-V
tender which may also not be considered,
for phase-IV : IT, can be dealt later on
also. He explained that due to lower
rates of 2G equipment in phase-VI
tender, the 2G equipment against phase-V
tender rates now cannot be considered.
Regarding part-III : Infra, due to
higher rates cannot be considered and
may be retendered. Regarding part-IV :
IT, he mentioned that this issue also
can be sorted out later on. Hence BSNL
should purchase 2G equipment of phase-VI
tender which is lowest. Regarding 3G,
Infra and IT retendering can take place
immediately.
(d) ITS officers absorption in BSNL :
CMD informed that the issue was there
for discussion in the agenda and Secy
(T) informed that shortly a Cabinet Note
is being sent for approval wherein IDA
pension revision will also be
considered.
CMD also
informed that Hon’ble PM has constituted
a committee headed by Shri Sam G.
Pitroda with some professionals
including him to monitor BSNL’s
performance. |

(Offg) as per Hon’ble Ernakulam CAT and
Delhi Principal Bench CAT judgment, he
informed that BSNL Management has
directed to CGMT Kerala Circle to file
an appeal in Hon’ble Ernakulam High
Court against CAT judgment. We protested
against the indifferent attitude of the

loss. AIBSNLEA will implead in both the
court cases. |

case with DO P&T for conducting the DPC
of DR DEs who are not eligible to be
promoted as DGM due to non-completion of
required length of service. He mentioned
that DOT has assured to take
simultaneous action in this regard as
per Jaipur CAT directions.

01.01.2010 : GS, AGS (HQ), AGS (F), FS,
AFS met Jt. Secy. (Telecom) DOT, Govt.
Nominee, Board of Directors of BSNL
Board and discussed :
(a) Non-finalisation of 93 million GSM
lines tender :
We expressed our serious resentment
against non-finalisation of 93 million
GSM lines tender of BSNL. JST
appreciated our concern and explained
that the BSNL processed the tender for
procurement of 93 million GSM lines and
was recently discussed in the BSNL Board
meeting. It is found that only one
bidder M/s Ericsson is technically
qualified bidder which has quoted 60%
higher rates in phase-VI tender in
comparison to phase-V tender. Presently,
BSNL is estimated to need about 20-25
million GSM lines only for next 2 years
according to present BSNL’s growth and
the same can be procured from existing
phase-V tender from M/s Ericsson itself.
Hence in our opinion, procurement of 93
million GSM lines on 60% higher rates in
phase-VI tender is not justified.
Regarding intervention of CVC and
seizing of phase-VI tender records, on
our concern against further delay, he
mentioned that CVC will examine the
matter with in a month period only. It
will not be delayed. He also mentioned
that BSNL’s reserve should be utilised
based on actual market demand otherwise
BSNL may face financial crises. We
further expressed our concern for early
procurement of GSM equipment for BSNL’s
growth.
(b) Absorption of ITS officers in BSNL :
JST mentioned that the issue is now
being routed through Economic Advisor
instead of JST. He advised to discuss
the matter with Sect (T). |
