Core Committee Members meeting with CMD BSNL:
CMD BSNL called a meeting of the core committee members of
all Unions and Associations wherein Comrade GS along with
core committee members i.e. GS.BSNLEU, GS/NFTE and GS/SNEA
attended the meeting. CMD BSNL mentioned that joint efforts
of BSNL Management and all employees are required to
increase the revenue of BSNL.
CFA segment:
He mentioned that Broad-band
connections surrender is taking place due to speed limit
constraints and FTTH growth is also not much. He further
mentioned that we should explain the customers that
Broad-band copper market is not for speed, it is for
download wherein maximum 2Mbps to 20Mbps. The tariff under
Rs. 99 Plan 70 GB down load is available for speed purpose
Mbps Plan through FTTH should be recommended wherein the
Exchange to Subscriber premises wireless network is being
created on revenue sharing basis through channel partners
immediately. CAPEX will be arranged to have our own wireless
system.
Cable TV operators (Local TV) are also facing threat from
JIO and now we will make them cannel partner on 50:50
revenue sharing basis. In this manner the Brad band target
has now been increased to 20 times.
CM Segment:
CMD mentioned that in CM segment 40% revenue has gone down
which has affected cash flow. The main reason is that BSNL
don’t have 4G spectrum and metro cities lie Delhi & Mumbai.
Now BSNL decided to deal directly with retailers along-with
franchises. The commission will be paid 12% whereas
Reliance JIO is giving 9% and Airtel 5%. Proper monitoring
system on retailers is very much required. Recently BSNL has
signed an MoU with Patanjali Group and now offering a
special plan of Rs. 144 with unlimited voice, 1.5GB data per
day to all Patanjali card holders. Through this we should
capture the market.
EB Segment:
CMD informed that last year our revenue growth was positive
in this segment by providing maximum lease line circuits
after 7-8 months JIO is also entering in this field. To
compete with now BSNL officers have to leave their rooms and
go for marketing. And this moment is known
“KAMRA CHODO - Leave the Rooms”.
In this manner, CMD clarified that BSNL has to increase its
revenue without depending on Govt support. At this stage, we
can not ask Govt support in view of the implementation of 3rd
PRC. We assured to discuss the matter and mobilize the
employees in this regard.
Incentive to BSNL employees and BSNL
pensioners: CMD informed that
we are finalizing an incentive scheme under Marketing Cell
to the BSNL employees and BSNL pensioners for selling the
BSNL brands and to become channel partners.

07.06.2018: Judgment dated
05.06.2018 in OP (CAT) No.45/2015 pronounced by Hon’ble
High Court of Kerala in matter of the inter-se seniority
list of JTOs:
Certified copy
of the judgment has been received by AIBSNLEA through its
advocate.
Stand of AIBSNLEA on the judgment pronounced by Hon’ble
High Court of Kerala on 05.06.2017 in the matter of JTO to
SDE promotions:
1. Hon’ble High Court Kerala is of the view that the
pragmatic way of fixing seniority of the departmental JTOs
and Direct Recruit JTOs would be reckon date of appointment
as regards to the Direct Recruits and the date of promotion
as regard to the promotes, once they successfully complete
the training and then interpose them in the seniority list
in accordance with the rotation of quotas, reckoning their
due seniority or position in their respective list of
appointment or order of promotion. In such circumstances the
direct recruits are entitled to be considered for inclusion
in the seniority list only after their actual entry in
service and they could not make any claim to the un-filled
quota of direct recruits during the period 1996 to 2001.
2 the final seniority list by BSNL has to be finalized with
in a period of six months from the date of receipts of the
copy of this judgment on the above mentioned principal.
3 It will be open for BSNL to effect promotion against the
unfilled vacancies of SDE equalling distributing the vacancy
amongst the senior most directly recruited JTOs and senior
most promote JTO subject to finalization of the final
eligibility list of JTOs.
In view of the above, AIBSNLEA feels that BSNL Management
can immediately expedite CPC from JTO to SDE (T) SCF quota
from the departmental JTOs of the vacancy year 1996 to 2001
and thereafter from a consolidated list of equally
distributing departmental JTOs and direct recruit JTOs in
1:1 ratio. Accordingly about 4500 departmental JTO will
immediately be promoted along with direct recruited JTOs of
the year 2002 Batch and SC/ST upto 2005 Batch. Thus BSNL
Management should initiate and expedite CPC.
Before
implementation of the CPSU Cadre Hierarchy, if above
promotions orders are issued there will be no dispute of
seniority which will avoid further litigations.

The case on

16.15 Hrs.
04.06.2018:
Misleading information by AIGETOA against AIBSNLEA posted on
their website dated 30.05.2018.
AIGETOA in their website as updated on
30.05.2018 the GS AIBSNLEA falsely indicated AIGETOA name
about the Allahabad court case and un-necessarily bothered
Director (HR) for the reasons best known to him.
This update on AIGETOA CHQ website
is false and un-called for a responsible Association without
verifying the facts. The fact remains that AIBSNLEA CHQ
Office Bearers had meeting with Director (HR) in the
presence of GM (Pers.) and demanded to issue JTO to SDE (T)
SCF quota promotions also since these JTOs are waiting for
their first promotion since 1995 JTO Recruitment year.
Director (HR) appreciated our concern and asked GM (Pers.)
to explain the bottle neck in the promotion of JTO to SDE
(T) SCF quota, if any. GM (Pers) explained that the court
case in the Hon’ble High Court, Kerala has been listed for
pronouncement of the judgment on 4th June 2018
and one more court case stay order is pending in the Hon’ble
High Court Allahabad and in this regard yesterday GS
AIGETOA has assured him to get withdraw the court case by
tomorrow itself. After hearing this reply Director (HR)
immediately spoke with CGMT Kerala Circle and directed him
to take all the efforts through BSNL’s advocate to get the
judgment pronounced on 4th June itself wherein
CGMT Kerala Circle assured her to get the judgment
pronounced on 4th June 2018. Just after this,
Director (HR) immediately called the GS AIGETOA in her
chamber and advised him to ensure withdrawal of court case
from Allahabad High Court by tomorrow itself and GS AIGETOA
assured for its compliance by tomorrow. During these
discussions, AIBSNLEA CHQ Office Bearers were present but
they did not interact in between and never implicate the
name of AIGETOA in it. Both the above actions of Director
(HR) were based on the feedback given by the GM (Pers) only.
Thus the allegation of GS AIGETOA against GS AIBSNLEA is
false and uncalled for.
AIBSNLEA is working and safe guarding the interests of
entire BSNL executive’s community in true sense which can be
witnessed since its inception in the year 2004. AIBSNLEA
need not to learn the functioning from the friendly
Association. With the untiring efforts of AIBSNLEA only the
BSNL Management decided to initiate CPCs to fill-up the
vacant Group “B” and Group “A” level posts (up to DGM level)
and after this decision, AIBSNLEA promptly persuaded to
issue promotion orders wherever it is immediately possible.
About 2000 LDCE qualified JTOs were waiting for their
posting on promotions due to SC/ST Roster implementation
court case and SDE RR modifications. BSNL Management
responded positive to our demand and immediately issued
modified SDE RRs. These two decisions paved the way to issue
promotion orders of LDCE passed JTOs to the post of SDE (T)
and accordingly, Management issued the promotion orders of
1987 SDEs of LDCE quota.
To continue the process, AIBSNLEA emphasized BSNL Management
to speed up CPCs work to fill-up all vacant SDE/AO and DE/CAO
equivalent posts before notification of CPSU Cadre
Hierarchy. Whereas, the fact remains that the so called
joint forum is continuously pressurizing BSNL Management for
immediate implementation of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy without
holding of CPCs. The executives can analyse the truth with
the ongoing developments for the last three years where more
than 2000 LDCE qualified JTOs were waiting for their SDE
promotion and the 4500 JTOs are waiting for the last 22
years for their first promotion to SDE cadre under SCF
quota.
WHAT THESE MIGHTY ASSOCIATIONS WERE
DOING FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS?
Now every body is trying to take the credit for the
promotions, CPSU Cadre Hierarchy etc when these are becoming
reality. CPSU Cadre Hierarchy was demanded by AIBSNLEA in
the year 2011 where a committee headed by Shri S.R. Kapoor,
the then PGM (FP) was constituted thereafter again another
committee headed by the then PGM (SR) Shri N.K. Narang was
constituted but both the committees failed to submit the
report. Thereafter, a new committee headed by the then ED
(NB) Shri M.A, Khan was constituted wherein AIBSNLEA, SNEA
and AIGETOA were the members from Association side and after
many marathon meetings the committee report was submitted
which was twisted by Pers Cell BSNL Corporate Office in
close coordination with the so called majority Association
after referendum and with the support of their associate
Association of Joint Forum. But, with the timely action
taken by AIBSNLEA, many important modifications /
improvements were incorporated in the CPSU Cadre Hierarchy.
AIBSNLEA always demanded cut-off date from the last CPC or
from the year of recruitment and some more issues but BSNL
Board approved it with prospective date of implementation
which AIBSNLEA protested and demanded immediate holding of
CPCs to fill up the vacant SDE/AO, DE/CAO and equivalent
posts before notification of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy to save
the executives from humiliation because after CPSU cadre
Hierarchy implementation all the existing RRs and posts of
Group “B” and STS equivalent will be abolished and under
new promotion policy. Under this CPSU Cadre Hierarchy these
SDEs/ AOs equivalent executives are first to be promoted to
the functional post of Sr. SDE/ Sr. AO equivalent and
thereafter to the post of DE/CAO. It will further stagnate
the existing SDEs and AOs who are waiting for their DE/CAO
promotion.
Whether the so called joint forum leaders are not aware of
the facts that BSNL Management is intending to notify MT
Recruitment simultaneously with the implementation of CPSU
Cadre Hierarchy? If known, why they are hiding this fact
from their members? Since they claim that they were involved
in the process of finalization of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy and
what is their stand now?
AIBSNLEA has cleared its view to the
BSNL Management on all the occasions whether it is during
discussions or in writing to oppose MT Recruitment at STS
level. Thus AIBSNLEA in true sense trying to protect the
interest of entire executive community in BSNL rather than
playing with the career prospects of executives in BSNL. Let
the executives be understand the game plan of the so called
Joint Forum Associations from the above facts.

Issue of Additional Increment on regular promotion to a
scale.
BSNL Corporate
Office today circulated a copy of the DoT letter number
40-12/2004-Pen(T) (Pt.) dated 17.05.2017 for compliance by
all units of BSNL. According to this letter, in order to
process the pension case an undertaking from the retiring
BSNL employees may be obtained to the effect that in case

pay before retirement. Against that AIBSNLEA file a Contempt
Petition in the Hon'ble PBCAT New Delhi. Notices have been

Meeting with Director (HR), BSNL Board, New Delhi:
GS, President met Director (HR), BSNL Board and expressed
serious resentment against non holding of CPCs to fill up
the vacant Group-‘A' and Group-‘B' equivalent posts
in BSNL and
demanded that before notification of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy
all the existing executives in JTO/JAO, SDE/AO and DE/CAO
equivalent cadres should be promoted
to the next higher vacant posts under the existing RRs. Non
holding of CPCs before implementation of CPSU Cadre
Hierarchy will cause serious frustration and resentment
among the existing executives who are waiting their
due promotions for the last many years. Director (HR), BSNL Board
immediately called GM (Pers.) and discussed the matter
in detail. The
cadre wise details are as under:-
Promotion from JTO
to SDE (T) SCF quota :
We requested Director (HR) to direct Pers. Cell to
initiate CPCs by calling of APARs and VCs of the eligible
candidates to fill up the vacant Group-'B' posts in the
cadre of SDE (T).
GM (Pers.) apprised that the court case in Hon'ble High
Court Kerala has been posted for pronouncement of Judgement
on 1st or 4th June, 2018 and one another stay order on promotion
has been granted by Hon'ble CAT Allahabad in a case filed by some DR
JTOs.
Director (HR) immediately spoke with CGMT Kerala
Circle and directed him to pursue in Hon'ble High Court for
early pronouncement of the Judgement and called GS, AIGETOA
and advised him to immediately withdraw the court case in the Hon'ble CAT Allahabad since she has already issued LDCE
quota promotion orders.
She
categorically mentioned that in my family I can't see that
some persons are happy and some others are unhappy and
demoralized.
GS AIGETOA
assured Director (HR) that by tomorrow the
court case in Hon'ble CAT Allahabad will be withdrawn. She
further directed GM (Pers.) to initiate the process to
promote about 4500 eligible JTOs to the post of SDE (T) with
existing RRs. GM (Pers.) assured to issue promotion orders
shortly.
Promotion from SDE (T)
to DE (T):
GM (Prs.) apprised that at present there is a dispute among
the SDEs(T) on seniority list no. 6 & 7 which is to be
sorted out. Director (HR) asked him that how many DE
vacancies are there and how many SDEs are eligible for
promotions. GM (Pers.) mentioned that about 3500 DEs
vacancies are there and additional 800 DEs posts are required
to promote all the SDEs of seniority list no. 6 & 7.
Director (HR) immediately directed GM (Pers.) to submit a
proposal for the up-gradation of 800 SDEs posts to DEs posts
on
Matching Saving Concept
and instructed
him to initiate CPCs to promote all SDEs of
seniority list no. 6 & 7 to DE posts before CPSU Cadre
Hierarchy implementation. GM (Pers.) assured to
process the case of 800 posts up-gradation and to fill up
4300 DEs posts by conducting CPCs. He promised to complete
this exercise within one month.
Promotion from DE (T) to DGM (Engg.):
GM (Pers.) appraised that about 700 clear DGM vacant posts
are there and about 200 Additional GM entrusted posts are
there that can be utilized. Thus total 900 DGMs can be
promoted in view of the Hon'ble CAT Chandigarh & DoP&T
instructions available on catch up rule. Director (HR)
assured that the CPC will be initiated immediately to fill
up 900 DGM (Engg.)
Promotion from JAO
to AO:
We
apprised Director (HR) to fill up about 1300 AO vacant posts
by settling the JAO seniority dispute. She directed our CHQ
President to pursue with the court case applicants who has filed
the case in
Bangalore to withdraw the case & settle the issue amicably as per DoP&T
instructions available. She assured that she will discuss
the matter with GM (FP) to initiate CPCs after her return
from leave on 4th June, 2018.
Promotion from AO to
CAO:
We requested Director (HR) to fill up about 1000 CAO posts on
the similar lines of DE to DGM promotions on catch up rule.
Director (HR) assured that the similar actions will be taken
on catch up rule as being decided in DE to DGM promotion.
Promotion from
CAO to DGM (Adhoc) :
We requested to fill up 40 DGM (F) vacant posts by granting relaxation
of one year services to the CAOs not having requisite
service experience for the promotion to grade of DGM. Director (HR) assured an early action in this regard.
Promotion from
JTO (TF) to SDE (TF) and SDE (TF) to AGM (TF):
We requested to fill up all the vacant AGM (TF) and SDE (TF)
posts as per the proposal submitted by GM (TF) to Pers.
Cell BSNL Corporate Office for clearance. We apprised
Director (HR) that the proposal for the promotion from
JTO (TF) to SDE (TF) for filling up of 44 SCF quota Posts and
the promotion from SDE (TF) to AGM (TF) for filling up of 5
vacant posts has already been approved by the Competent
Authority during Nov’ 2017 but till date CPC process has not
been initiated. Director (HR) immediately directed GM (Pers) to initiate the CPC for the promotion from JTO (TF)
to SDE (TF) for filling up of 44 SCF quota vacant Posts and
for the promotion from SDE (TF) to AGM (TF) for filling up of
5 vacant posts. GM (Pers.) assured
an early action in this regard.
Promotion from
SDE (C/E) to EE (C/E):
We expressed our resentment
against the BW Cell BSNL Corporate Office attitude wherein the EE (C/E) CPCs are being conducted in violation of the BSNL MSRR.
Director (HR) assured to look into the matter.
Promotion from JTO (E)
to SDE (E) :
We requested Director (HR) to fill up the vacant SDE (E) posts
through CPCs. Director (HR) directed GM (Pers.) to discuss the
matter with CGM (EW).
In this manner after detailed discussions, GM (Pers.) assured
to conduct all CPCs within one month on war footing manner.
We further requested Director (HR) to ensure
that all CPCs are conducted as mentioned above before
notification of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy. Director (HR) firmly
told to ensure conduction of CPCs in a given time frame.
(b)

requested Director (HR) for granting a formal meeting to
AIBSNLEA. Director (HR) immediately decided to hold formal

29.05.2018: CPSU Cadre Hierarchy proposal approved by the BSNL Board
- our concerns thereof
GM (Pres.)of
BSNL Corporate Office convinced the BSNL Management and the
Board of Directors in their meeting held on 28.05.2018 about
the need of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy and got approved it by
replacing the existing EPP and BSNL MS RRs. Also pleaded
that on implementation of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy no financial
implication will be there rather BSNL will save additional
one increment benefit on post based promotions under EPP.
BSNL Board has approved the CPSU Cadre Hierarchy for BSNL
Executives with the prospective date of its notification and
further directed to abolish the entire vacant Group “B” and
STS level posts as on 1st July 2018. It is a
great injustice towards the executives who were eligible to
be promoted to the next higher post on the functional basis
as per the existing RRs and against the available vacancies
in Group “B” and Group “A” level posts. All these executives
are losing their past service which will frustrate and
demoralize these executives as no proper consideration has
been given for their past service.
It is also said that in the CPSU Cadre Hierarchy, there will
be time bound non-post based promotions but contrary to
this, adhoc promotions have also been introduced at the
level of AGM in the case of non-availability of the eligible
candidates which means that these promotions will be against
vacant posts which needs SC/ST roster implementation.
Against non-post based time bound functional promotion
whosoever is eligible having requisite residency period
should be promoted to AGM grade on regular basis. Since, it
is non-post based time bound promotion in that case why
adhoc promotion?
In
order to overcome this unpleasant situation, we would like
to suggest that as per the existing RRs all the vacant posts
of Group “B” and Group “A” level should be filled up first
since there is no stay order on promotions from any court.
Only some directions are there to re-fix the seniority and
on implementation of SC/ST roster. The TES Group “B”
seniority lists should immediately be finalized based upon
the Hon'ble Apex Court judgments otherwise the non-post
based time bound promotions to the higher post under CPSU
Cadre Hierarchy will not be possible.
In
the CPSU Cadre Hierarchy proposal approved by the BSNL Board
the following shortcomings will put executives in loss and
will invite litigations:
1.CPSU
Cadre Hierarchy for BSNL Executives with the prospective
date of its notification will cause great injustice towards
the senior executives.
2.All
vacant Group “B” and STS level posts as on 1st
July 2018 are going to be abolished. RRs and sanctioned
posts cannot be abolished in an arbitrary and retrospective
manner. It is a great injustice towards the executives
who
were eligible to be promoted to the next
higher post on the functional basis as per the existing RRs
and
against the
available vacancies in Group “B” and Group
“A” level posts.
3.The
SC/ST Roster implementation on the pretext of non-post based
time bound functional promotion has been denied whereas the
adhoc promotions at AGM level have been introduced which can
be against vacancies only,
4.The
eligibility criterion i.e. the residency period for STS
level posts has been increased to 12 years from 5/7 years.
Introduction of Sr. SDE /Sr. AO as functional
promotion have increased the stagnation to the SDE/AO and
equivalent cadres.
5.Stringent
bench marks have been introduced which will cause huge
droppings,
6.Non
implementation of Hon'ble Supreme Court judgments on TES
Group “B” seniority before implementation of CPSU Cadre
Hierarchy will invite litigations.
AIBSNLEA
has
requestedCMD BSNL
to
kindly intervene in the matter and direct the Pers. Cell for
conducting the CPCs to fill-up the entire vacant Group “B”
and STS level posts immediately before notification of the
corrected CPSU Care Hierarchy on the prospective date to
avoid humiliation of executives and the scope of
litigations.
So called
majority Association in their website posting on 29.05.2018
have made a false claim that the formal discussions have
been taken place with them only which is not correct. The
fact remains that Pers, Cell of BSNL Corporate Office
supplied the draft proposal to AIBSNLEA on CPSU Cadre
Hierarchy and had discussions more than three times at the
instances of CMD BSNL and Director (HR) wherein we submitted
our views / suggestions to the BSNL Management for
consideration. Some suggestions given by AIBSNLEA have been
considered for example non-post based time bound promotion
up to the level of AGM instead of Sr. SDE, Jt. DGM
designation to the executives drawing E5 scale and numerical
bench mark consideration instead of subjective
classifications etc. But, many suggestions have not
been considered since the so called majority Association
agreed upon.
28.05.2018:
It is also learnt that no discussions were taken place on
Creation of the Tower Subsidiary Company of BSNL
in BSNL's Board meeting held
today afternoon at Hyderabad.
28.05.2018: CPSU Cadre Hierarchy
approved by BSNL Board on prospective date implementation:
BSNL Board in its
meeting held today afternoon at Hyderabad approved CPSU
Cadre Hierarchy on prospective dated i.e. date of
notification will be the date of implementation. The CPSU Cadre Hierarchy
implementation with prospective date will not benefit the
existing executives. In view of that before its
notification, AIBSNLEA will continue its efforts to get fill
up all Group-‘B' and STS/JAG equivalent vacant posts of all
disciplines through CPCs.
The suggestions given
by AIBSNLEA to consider time bound functional promotion upto
AGM Level, Jt. DGM designation to the STS level officers
working in E-5 grade has been considered and approved by BSNL Board.
The
other issues i.e. eligibility conditions for promotion from
SDE/AO to DE/CAO within 7 years instead of 12 years,
benchmarks on numerical basis and SC/ST roster
implementation have been considered or not will be find out
shortly.
It is
learnt that BSNL Board has recommended to abolish all SDE/AO,
DE/CAO equivalent posts w.e.f. 01st July, 2018. Thus the all
vacant posts of Group-'B' and STS level are necessarily
required to be filled up by conducting CPCs before 1st July
2018 so that the existing majority executives may get
desired benefits of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy.
BSNL
Management has to take immediate necessary steps to finalize
that TES Group-'B' seniority as per the Hon'ble SC judgments
to fill up the vacant posts to avoid further litigations.

We apprised CMD BSNL regarding our discussions held with
Secy. Telecom. & Member (Finance) DoT in the informal
meeting held on 11.05.2018 regarding implementation of 3rd
PRC in BSNL, payment of pension contribution on actual basis
instead of maximum of the pay scale and pension revision.

b) Implementation of CPSU cadre
hierarchy:
We requested CMD
BSNL to consider our views / suggestions on CPSU cadre
hierarchy in BSNL. We further requested that implementation
of CPSU cadre hierarchy on prospective date will not benefit
the executives rather will put them in a heavy loss. Similarly increase in
bench mark will create huge droppings
whereas droppings have been assured
less than 4% at the time of formulation of EPP,
increase in residency
period from 5/7 years to 12 years from SDE/AO to DE/ CAO
promotion and without finalization of the seniority lists of
executive cadres will create legal complications. CMD
assured to look into the matter.
c) Filling up of the vacant Group-A
and Group-B vacant posts by conducting CPC:
We further extended thanks for allowing CPCs subject to
outcome of the court cases. We requested to fill up all
Group- A & B equivalent vacant posts through CPCs to remove
stagnation. CMD appreciated our concern and advised us to pursue with Dir (HR) and GM(Pers) for holding
the CPCs.

service to BSNL pensioners at Circle level also. Dir
(HR) mentioned that this issue was raised by AIBSNLEA &
AIRBSNLEWA in the inaugural function of AIBSNLEA CHQ
office wherein she had assured an early action. Accordingly, this
step has been taken and she directed GM (SR) to take similar
action at all Circle levels also as requested by us.
b) Extension of BSNL MRS facility to
the BSNL pensioners after 01.04.2018:
We requested to issue necessary orders for extending BSNL
MRS facility to the BSNL pensioners after 01.04.2018 w.r.t.
their outdoor treatment. Dir (HR) directed GM (SR) to issue
necessary directions to PGM (Admn) for issuing necessary

scale and pension revision of BSNL Pensioners.
Dir (HR) mentioned that
yesterday Member (Finance) DoT has called her over telephone
and advised her to have discussions on preparation of
the Cabinet Note on 3rd PRC implementation in BSNL.
Accordingly,
she will be going to DoT to discuss the matter with Member

clause of 3rd PRC report w.r.t. BSNL.

We requested Dir
(HR) BSNL Board to consider our views / suggestions on CPSU
cadre hierarchy in BSNL. We further requested that
implementation of CPSU cadre hierarchy from the prospective date
will not benefit the executives rather will put them in
heavy loss.
Similarly increase in bench mark will create huge droppings,
increase in residency period from 5/7 years to 12 years for SDE/AO
for the promotion to DE / CAO and without finalization of the
seniority lists of executive cadres will create legal
complications.

some officers from BSNL to clarify/ satisfy his observations

hierarchy which now can be placed before the BSNL Board with
the clarification of BSNL for discussions and decision.

this issue. She directed to GM (Pers) that now CPSU cadre

discuss the observations given by Jt. Secy. so that the same
can be informed to our members. GM(Pers) appreciated our
concern and discussed point wise all the observations made
by JS (Admn.). The following discussions took place.
a) CPSU cadre hierarchy: GM(Pers)
informed that response on CPSU cadre hierarchy proposal
approved by BSNL MC has been received from Jt. Secy. (Admn)
DoT, Govt. nominee Director of BSNL Board wherein he has
given some objections in the proposal submitted by the BSNL
viz.
i) In the BSNLs proposal cleared by BSNL MC will create
financial and legal implications due to effective date of
implementation from 01.01.2017. In view of this JS has
suggested to give date of effect from prospective date
ii) The existing vacancies are to be filled up subject to
outcome of court case by conducting CPCs.
iii) Prior approval of BSNL Board/DoT is required wherein
promotions affecting pension instead of only BSNL MC
approval.
iv) Existing EPP shouldn't be continued in BSNL after
implementation of CPSU hierarchy.
v) BSNL HR plan has not been finalized on the required no.
of posts which needs clarification.
vi) The Screening committee has to be conducted on every
time bound functional promotions under CPSU cade hierarchy
instead of automatic promotion for the executives working in
higher scales.
vii) The clause 5.6 is irrelevant para on AGM (Adhoc) as no
vacancy based promotion up to AGM.
viii) Date of financial upgradation E4-E5 and E5-E6 has to
be explained since the CPSU time bound functional promotions
are limiting up to E4 scale only.
ix) Any functional promotion in the same scale no additional
increment is allowed.
x) The bench mark should be very good (35) for OC and Good
(31) for SC/ST instead of good (31) and Average (27) bench
mark.
xi) Promotion to be given in the feeder cadre as per
existing policy, if there is no court stay order is pending
on promotion.
xii) All the cadres seniority lists should be finalized
immediately etc.
GM Pers told that these issues needs to be examined and
submitted to the JS for consideration before submitting the
final proposal to the BSNL Board. We expressed our serious
concern against the observations made by JS (Admn.) DoT
wherein the date of effect has been suggested from
prospective date, similarly the eligibility condition from
SDE/AO to DE/CAO promotion is now prescribed 12 years'
service instead of 5/7 years of service and increase in
bench mark etc. will not at all benefit the executives
rather will put them into loss.
We further requested to consider date of effect from the
last DPC date/ year of recruitment and to consider our
views/ suggestions given earlier on all the clauses vide our
letter no. AIBSNLEA/CHQ/CPSU/2017 dated 15.11.2017. Also
requested to expedite CPCs on priority.

and Group-B equivalent posts: We
requested GM(Pers) to initiate CPCs to fill up the vacant
Group-A and Group-B level posts in all wings i.e. telecom ,

take opinion of CVO BSNL and convey to Pers. cell. GM (Pers)
assured that immediate action will be taken after getting

d) Promotion from JTO to SDE(Telecom.)
SCF quota:- We requested
GM(Pers) to initiate CPC to fill up the vacant TES Group-B
posts since the judgement of Hon'ble High Court Kerala is
expected to be pronounced after 23rd May 2018.
Since the new SDE RR has been notifying on seniority
fixation in SDE cadre on ROTA Quota basis which may allow
favorable judgement, this will allow promotions. More than
10000 SDE(Telecom.) vacant posts are there which needs
immediate filling up. Earlier the CPC was initiated to fill
up about 6000 SDE (T) posts but due to stay orders the same
was held up. Most of the APARs of the eligible JTOs were
accessed through screening process for promotion thus now
only one or two years APARs needs to be accessed for
promotion. GM (Pers) mentioned that the VCRs have already
been called from the Circles and the action to initiate CPC
will be take shortly.

requested to use her good office for early implementation
of 3rd PRC in BSNL with 15% fitment benefit as recommended

clause. Member (F) told that she will examine the case

pensioners after 3rd PRC report. Member (F) mentioned she is
of the opinion that pension revision of BSNL pensioners will
take place only after their pay revision. We pleaded that
BSNL pensioners are not playing any role in the
affordability of BSNL, thus their pension revision should be
delinked with the pay revision. Member (F) advised us to
take up the matter with Member (S).
c) Payment of pension contribution

burden as BSNL can take various steps to control
various wasteful expenses such as Foreign trips, stay in
Five Star hotel etc. We pleaded that after 3rd
PRC implementation this will impose excess burden of Rs
.1400 crore on BSNL, however as per 6 CPC recommendation
and DOPT instruction, pension contribution should be on
actual basic pay. Member (F) assured that she will examine
the case as per prevailing rules as and when proposal will
come to her office.

Karnataka Circle for the successful conduction of 2nd CEC and
thanked the comrades for their participation. In his
detailed address Com. GS mentioned that the KTK Circle is a
very important Circle for AIBSNLEA. He appreciated efforts
CS and his team for increasing the membership. He pointed
out that how govt. has managed to exhaust all our reserves
in a very calculative manner and cautioned the members to
remain united and alert to safeguard their rights.
Disinvestment policy of Govt. will never allow a comfortable
position for BSNL as a bright example of MTNL's financial
position in front of us. Com. GS mentioned that the
viability and existence of BSNL is the most important issue
today and we have to analyse the reasons of BSNL's today's
position. Com GS informed that after more than Rs. 10,000
Crores profit in 2004-05, in recent past years BSNL have
made the Losses , which is a serious concern for all of us.
In his detailed address Com. GS mentioned that due to
un-helping and over-jealous attitude of some officers in the
Govt. i.e. non-payment USOF Charges i.e. Rs. 2000 Crores per
Annum from July 2011, withdrawal of ADC from July 2008,
Exhausting Rs. 36000 Crores BSNL reserve, non-reimbursement
of licenses fee, payment of interest of Rs. 13,000 Crore on
notional loan Rs. 7,500 Crores to DoT has adversely affected
the viability of BSNL. In addition to this Spectrum
Allocation and bidding process on high rates are the example
of step behaviour of the Government towards BSNL, which is a
Government owned company. Com. GS explained the efforts
extended by AIBSNLEA for the creation of a trust in LIC of
India for Leave Encashment fund of Rs. 4,825 Crores on which
BSNL is earning 400 Crores Interest per annum and leave
encashment payment is being immediately. Com. GS informed
that 4G spectrum and technology is a must in BSNL for the
public perception and its requirement. In view of that last
BSNL Board meeting has already taken a decision to get
allocated 4G spectrum from DoT. He told that BSNL needs to
pay Rs. 10,000 Crore to get allocated 4G spectrum from DoT,
wherein, Rs. 2500 crore equity has already been utilized,
remaining Rs 5000 Crore equity amount is pending which can
be adjusted towards cost of 50% of 4G spectrum and
remaining Rs. 5,000 Crore will be paid in 10 equal annual
instalments.
Com GS further explained the burning issues of the
Headquarters level. He informed that AIBSNLEA made the
presentation to 3rd PRC committee for relaxing
the affordability clause due to social obligation and BSNL's
role in natural calamities. He mentioned that BSNL has the
responsibilities of TAC/CAG/CVC and Audits and the private
operators are not having these responsibilities. But even
then BSNL works for nation building and does not think about
profit or loss. Com. GS mentioned that the success of
DIGITAL INDIA fully depends on BSNL and its Employees. He
informed that due to BSNL Union and Associations opposition,
the SAM G Pitroda recommendations like 30% disinvestment,
VRS to 1 lakh employees, unbundling of the copper conductor
could not be implemented and due to the same only the BSNL
is having more than 65% BB market share at present. He
explained that how the AIBSNLEA is continuously pursuing
these viability related issue with the BSNL Management and
DoT. Com. GS opposed the move of the Government for the
creation of Tower Company and expressed its negative impact
on BSNL. Com. GS thanked all for making successful the call
of All Unions and Associations launched w.e.f 30.01.2018.
Com. GS explained in detail the efforts of AIBSNLEA in
getting resolved the important HR issues after the formation
of BSNL. He appraised the status of HR issues about AIBSNLEA
efforts for various DPCs in various cadres for adhoc
promotions, AD(OL) case, creation of PPS posts in
field Units, 30% Superannuation benefits, implementation of
Standard Pay Scales E2 and E3, Rs 22820/- pay fixation for
JTOs recruited in the year 2007 & 2008, smooth CPSU cadre
hierarchy etc. Com GS further explained the role of AIBSNLEA
in the viability of BSNL. At last he appealed the all

and vibrant organization. GS mentioned that the achievements

Rai, General Secretary, regarding implementation of 3rd
PRC, told that DPE is likely to send its reply to DOT this
week and after receiving the report from DPE, Hon'ble
Minister of Communications will take up the matter in the
Union Cabinet for the relaxation in affordability clause of
3rd PRC report. He informed that due to the
opposition of the Associations and Unions of BSNL,
implementation of Sam Pitroda recommendations like VRS to
one lakh employees, 30% disinvestment, unbundling of copper
conductor etc, which were fatal to the existence of BSNL,
were not implemented in BSNL.
In his speech, Com. Prahlad Rai, General Secretary, explained

always to be vigilant and cautious to protect the interest
of BSNL. He advocated the utmost unity and co-operation
among the Associations and Unions, to defeat the anti-BSNL
moves of the Government. He told that DOT is always showing
step mother attitude towards BSNL and as an example he
quoted that DOT is charging Pension Contribution on the
maximum of the Pay-scale instead of on actual pay drawn,
which is affecting the exchequer of the BSNL badly. He told
that he brought this fact to the notice of Hon'ble Minister
during his recent meeting and Minister immediately ordered
the Secretary, DOT to look into the matter for taking
corrective measures in this regard.
Com. Prahlad Rai, General Secretary, AIBSNLEA, in his address
